That’s true, but in fairness all of humanity bears that legacy. The crusaders weren’t doing what they did just because of Christianity, it was because they were humans, doing what humans always do.

People in power have always used religion as a tool to further their own ends. It’s true throughout history, it’s still true today.

Why did you have to post this follow-up? Now I’m all angried up.

I don’t agree with hitting children as a means of discouraging bad behaviour, but I’m convinced some adults would benefit from being hit a bit more.

Or something went wrong and they somehow seduced an entire nursery.

The money detector button illuminates a bright UV light on the side that you can use to detect fake notes.

No idea about the red button. I heard one reviewer say the word “computer” while pointing at it (all of the reviewers seem to be from the Philippines, a language that I sadly don’t speak), but if found no other clues.

Hard reset.

Unfortunately there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to get on another server once you’ve disconnected from this one.

100% recommend these.

You can get remastered versions on Steam (Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are both excellent).

Simon the Sorcerer is also in this genre, very funny, and voiced by Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf.

Somebody set up us the bomb.

You can tell I’m really cross when I stop using exclamation marks.

FWIW, we have a very similar expression (at least in British English):

“No ifs, ands, or buts”

Also sometimes used as:

“No ifs and/or buts”

“No ifs, no buts”

Headcanon: The wife and husband were supposed to be on this trip. The wife discovers the affair, the other woman explains that she didn’t realise he was married. The wife leaves the husband and takes the other woman on the holiday instead.

Ha, I do!

They are chunky metal squares (at a guess 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.5cm) with the Transformers faction symbols tastefully engraved into them. Autobots for the right wrist, Decepticons for the left, natch.

If you’re looking for shirts, I only feel comfortable wearing ones with french cuffs and would recommend them highly.

Normal cuffs irritate me no end, they’re tight , they move and jab against my skin constantly.

French cuffs with nice solid cufflinks are looser, soft-edged, and have a nice weight to them that stops them moving so much.

I’ll roll out

“What about the good things Hitler did?”

I use ESUN PLA+ for printing minis and would recommend it to anyone.

For reference, the only filament I’ve used that came out nicer was SUNLU high-speed PLA, but would NOT recommend for minis (it can’t cope with the constant retractions).

Oh, and also prime your models before painting them. I just use ordinary spray primer that you can get for dirt cheap - Tetrosyl Trade Spray / Hycote / Motip are all good brands. Just make sure you don’t get gloss finish and you’ll be fine!

Well if you really don’t have a preference for one or the other, it might be worth keeping an eye on the future.

People’s jobs, especially expensive jobs, are going to be replaced by software.

So ask yourself:

• What does an accountant do that wouldn’t be possible to automate in software?

• What does a lawyer do that wouldn’t be possible to automate in software?

• What does a doctor do that wouldn’t be possible to automate in software?

From where I’m sitting, medicine seems the safest bet.

Ah, so you have BMWs in the States as well?

They were doing so to find out which country you lived in, since you neglected to provide that information yourself.

I’m British, I charge my car at home, and on the few occasions I use public chargers, I interface with and pay for them through apps.

Knowing that you are from the US, though, means that YMMV. Your home electric supplies have significantly lower voltage than here in Europe, so home charging might be a less viable option.

They weren’t being creepy, they were trying to give you a helpful answer.

A friend, originally Hungarian but speaks numerous languages describes English as “easy to speak, hard to write”.

We really need a do-over with a better alphabet that allows a reader to know exactly how a word is said - one letter, one sound. Of course, I realise that it’s far too late to work - even on our tiny island we can’t agree on how words are pronounced.

I might be reading this wrong, but does it not say “yearly”? It may be repeating, but if that frequency is once a year, I’m willing to live with that.

It’s a neat idea, similar to how displacement maps affect the output without affecting the geometry of a 3D render.

Also, I like this image, as it makes me feel less bad about my own grizzly-looking heat block.
