Re: Unity plans to charge per install.

Supposedly he only unloaded a small fraction of the total stock he held, presumably as a tax move, rather than insider trading. On the other hand, screw this guy.

Re: Donald Trump Indicted in New York

I'm still a bit surprised that Trump is getting indicted over this of all things, but here's hoping this is merely the floodgates opening and that many more will follow.

Re: Former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev dies aged 91

I honestly had no idea the man was still alive. Not sure why, but I was under the impression he'd died years ago.

Still, whatever else might be said about him, at least he didn't try to cling to power as the USSR dissolved.

Amusingly, I wonder if Saxtonite took his username from Curtis Saxton, and if he ever found out that the guy was a racist nut?
Wait, Curtis Saxton's racist? When'd that happen?

Re: Michael Avenatti arrested for domestic violence- Republican operative who tried to frame Mueller takes credit.

Dunno what he was trying to accomplish by tying himself to the allegations like that. Seriously, when your sole claim to fame is a hilariously bungled frame job, taking credit for anything just makes it seem like it's actually fraudulent. Like, I initially found the allegations against Avenatti to b...

Didn't he only just announce that he was stopping treatment? I probably shouldn't be, but I'm still surprised by how quickly things ended. Still, for all that I disagreed with his politics I agree with the hope that his death was peaceful.

I wouldn't argue that they lost in the end, presuming that all the mutants do in fact end up dead. My point, rather, is that that ultimate defeat does not negate all their prior accomplishments, even if those accomplishments were temporary. I would argue that it does, because Xavier got to watch it...

I honestly doubt that Trump's policies will be of any actual benefit to the majority of the people who voted for him, so given the current trend I suppose I'll have to settle for some admittedly delicious schadenfreude for the next 4 years.

Re: Crowdfunding drive to build life-sized Minas Tirith repl

It would have been a much better idea to go with a Shire theme instead. You could market it to environmentalists, since these would be very energy-efficient homes by their very nature (green roofs and all). Well, the Shire already exists in the form of Hobbiton , although it's on private property a...
