“I have always been here.”

I’m not sure. It’s been made pretty clear that Trump literally does not comprehend how magnets work.

Killing Hitler is risky. You still get WW2, then either get a cult centered on an immortal asshole or Tim Curry ruling the USSR.

Similarly, the red fox is clearly orange, but English speakers were exposed to that species of fox before developing a word for that specific color. For bonus linguistical oddities, ‘orange’ was used for the fruit before it was used for the color.

I’m generally fine with people stopping at yields. It slows things down, but it’s still safe. There’s actually one near my friend’s house that has hedges blocking all view of the road to the west until you’re right up on it, so I always stop at that one; can’t see if there’s anyone to yield to until you’re almost inside the intersection.

So, there are these things called candy cigarettes. They are candy shaped like cigarettes. Despite simply being things like bubble gum or chocolate, it turns out that people who ate them as kids are about twice as likely to smoke real cigarettes as adults. This has resulted in them being banned as advertising tobacco products to children in a good number of countries. This add for nonalcoholic beer specifically saying that minors can buy it can easily be argued to be the same kind of thing, with the same kind of legal response. If consuming non-alcoholic beer as a minor results in significantly higher rates of alcohol consumption as an adult, then ads for non-alcoholic beer that target children, like the one shown, might be worth a ban.

Oregon previously being an entire sundown state combined with the hippie invasion of the valley definitely resulted in some odd outcomes as far as race relations go.

And 1080p is Full HD.
1440p is Quad HD.
2160p/4K is Ultra HD.
4320p/8K is also Ultra HD, for some bonus confusion.

The barrel pin system could have been great if it was standardized. Only one valid polarity with barrel size being keyed to voltage while pin size was keyed to amperage, for example. A plug would only fit if it was the correct specs, and would always fit if it was the correct specs. Unfortunately, nobody ever had this idea while they were popular and it’s much too late now.

You can also sell or trade the key cards, unlike fully digital purchases. This is basically what Xbox and Playstation have been doing the last couple generations with discs, Nintendo is just more up-front about how it works.

I used to get to the Shalebridge Cradle in Thief 3 and start a new run. Not because of difficulty, but because young me was scared shitless.

I think they met in an episode of The Clone Wars? I know Anakin and Tarkin met, and got along pretty well.

You can’t really do random jumps in Star Wars. You must stick to existing hyperspace routes and can’t deviate from them. Almost all routes lead to inhabited planets, so stopping anywhere along the way instead of just going directly to Yavin would have risked that planet being blown up by the Death Star. The hyperspace lane system is like a highway network, where everywhere they haven’t built a road is full of landmines and the road only exists because someone very carefully mapped out a path through the mines.

Were they? I though they stopped that a few centuries previously due to pressure from the church.

Heavily depends on when in the timeline you’re looking at. They had stopped the sibling boinking for a good while by the time A Game of Thrones starts.

There is at least one instance where it was written as sapient in TNG. That was mostly for a joke, though. Specifically, there was a running gag in early TNG with Data getting a bit too into defining things and someone (usually Picard) would interrupt him with something along the lines of, “Thank you, Data, we get it.” In one scene, Data is alone and only talking to the computer, which gives the line there.

First person shooters either get you incredible FOV or incredible distortion on the side screens, depending on the engine. Also, pulling out a rocket launcher and having it take up the entire right display is just kind of funny the first time you do it.

Morrowind lets you pin your character sheet, inventory page, etc to stay open while playing, so you can have your center screen be the standard area with the side screens showing all your other stuff.

You can also use birds as a storage medium.

I had the opportunity to buy Xenoblade 1 on the Wii back when the Wii was still pretty new. I hadn’t heard of the game or Operation Rainfall and I certainly didn’t know how hard it was to actually find it in stock on a shelf, and I got something else instead. Much, much later, I picked it up on Switch, having heard something about it a couple years prior and remembering that I had seen it for the Wii that one time. The gameplay was weirdly addictive, the first act has a solid hook, and the back half of the game getting increasingly into wtf territory is exactly the kind of thing I like narratives doing.

It’s about 50/50. She spends most of the movie dressed as a handmaiden, but that’s largely because the Tatooine sequence lasts so long.
