The Trump Organization’s chief legal officer, Alan Garten, explained to Forbes a month ago that 40 Wall Street has 63 floors of commercial space, but “when you add the space from 63 to the cupola, the building totals 72 floors.”

I'd be interested in seeing what that space actually is. Are they going to start arguing over the definition of a floor? Is this going to turn into Bill Clinton's famous "define is" situation?

For me, Half-Life and Half-Life 2 modding was the golden age of FPS gaming. The life of a single game purchase was extended well beyond any expectations because of the creativity of the modders.

Unfortunately, mods like Counterstrike, Day of Defeat, and many others are getting developed and released as "Full games" now, to the detriment of the gamer and the industry.

Now we're in the age of relatively easy to use game engines, where anyone can develop and release a game, but there are so many games flooding the market that you look at and think "Why would you release this?". In the past, I truly believe these types of games would have been relegated to the modding scene and filtered properly through the communities to gain popularity naturally and organically rather than getting huge marketing budgets pushing us to buy the next big thing or FOMO.

My understanding is that because it's Linux they can customize it and trim all the fat to make the OS run as efficiently as possible, making it perfect for a portable device where you want as much processing power going to the game. You just can't get that with Windows.

Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series is a good one. Unlike most authors in this genre who tend to be overly descriptive and feel the need to develop the lore of every squirrel in the kingdom, Le Guin writes really tight, well thought stories, where every word is important to the story.

A little frustrating that they didn't give proper credit or that it was cropped out at some point

I wonder if they're repackaged due to not meeting certain quality control thresholds, but still technically useable

I enjoyed the reboot, but this episode and that joke specifically was the highlight of the whole season.

I knew I had seen something like the meme but couldn't remember where. Thanks for the reminder!

I hope they continue the movies with Children and God Emperor. Beyond that may be too much for regular audiences, but I really really want to see an on screen adaptation of Leto II

I can understand the hate. Mitch is one of the architects of the current political environment. Obstruct, shift blame, and stack the courts... he's been a leader in all of that. The world as a whole will not be worse off when he's gone.
