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.

If that's the group in the crater right before it blew, then yeah.

As a complete layman, my immediate guess would be that the transmission infrastructure only supports that much wattage, so anything else would be wasted.

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...

Re: RIP John McCain
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.

According to a BBC piece , apparently the trial team wasn't up to par with the investigation team. Virginia-based criminal defence lawyer Greg Hunter told the BBC that when he was present for pre-trial hearings it seemed the prosecution was "poorly prepared and less than candid". "The...

Re: Logan
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...

NJO certainly had its flaws. But large portions of it were also pretty good, and I actually especially liked Traitor for how it developed Jacen from being the most useless NR-aligned character in the series (no mean feat, considering Borsk Fey'lya's entire schtick was to be a useless obstructionist ...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
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.

It's worth playing the whole tree, at least until January 24th. They're ladling on everything from XP boosts to free equipment to female Czech crew just for not playing like a potato.

The in-game tutorial is garbage, and doesn't tell you anything at all about the vision mechanics, which for the moment are still king for this game (the recent trend is an increase in brawling corridors where vision isn't important).

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...
