I find it immensely infuriating that the article's byline shows they are reporting from 'London' when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.

Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can't be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn't remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.

That 2012 one looks like I've focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.

According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn't need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn't violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.

I thought elvish meant someone who likes rock and roll music

You can't misgender a brand. You can't deadname a brand. You can't befriend a brand.

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn't sound half bad.

Women are a better person to be in the past than a good quality piece of wood

What option do I need to use to get support for Heptapod B?

I could not get into the baby episode. The talking babies just put me off. Might have been scarier than the actual monster.

But the devil's cord was better. Great concept. Good mix of fun and serious and a nice follow up to the toy maker. I didn't feel it really made the most use of the beatles though, the maestro could have been in any time period with any musician. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist at the end.

RTD likes his recurring threads, so I guess the pantheon is going to anchor this series. So far we've had masters (gods?) of toys and music. What next - the different parts of what makes being human? Love? Food? And how does Ruby fit into it.

So far ncuti and millie are fitting in well. A bit different, bringing their own flair, but still capturing the right feel.

100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn't asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

I was using it, but because it periodically did load fine I assumed I was just having network trouble. Thanks for fixing!

Instead of arguing about 0Mg vs 0mg - use the best of both and upset everyone: 0ᴍg
