Tech company that owned and operated experimental high tech death machine say their regulatory reports were wrong because they are bad at ubiquitous 40 year old tech.

No, Stanley is much older than either of those brands. They are a tool manufacturer that also makes appliances and camping gear. Stanley thermoses were the gold standard for insulated containers in the early 20th century.

And then the Hawaiians replaced the ham with spam.

I think GOG might be an exception to this, where they will never revoke access to the games you previously bought, but I am not 100% sure of their policies.

They are, when you buy a game from gog they send you the installation files. You install and run it with your own hardware whereas with Steam and other digital gaming companies you are just getting access to the game on their servers. By sending you the installers and letting you play independently from their servers gog gives up the ability to lock you out. It’s the primary reason that they should be the first choice for where to buy a digital version of a game. The upside is that it’s the closest you can get to actually owning a digital copy of a game; the downside is that playing on another device requires that you transfer files and reinstall rather than just logging into a remote server.

There were protests and threats aimed at TOS for being too progressive, particularly on racial issues. TOS didn’t make the command structure clear but as bridge officers and department heads Uhura and Sulu can’t be any lower than 6th in command and TOS had the first interracial kiss on television. Yeah it’s pretty bad looking back at it now but keeping in mind that the first season aired less than 2 years after the end of segregation helps temper the shock.

In games that have gender based perks, like Agent of Dibella in Skyrim or LadyKiller/Black Widow in the Fallout games tend to be stronger for female characters because more of the NPC’s are male. This is more adding another reason than claiming that it’s the main reason. I don’t exclusively play either male or female but typically when I play a female character it’s because I’m building a character that is less physically aggressive. I know this is playing into stereotypes but sword and board tends to be male while stealth archer tends to be female.

Beer doesn’t have a high enough alcohol content to kill most infections, you need about 50% alcohol (100proof) for an effective disinfectant. The fermentation process will kill most infections because the yeast you intentionally put in out competes other things that find their way into your brew. Most infections that commonly occur (wild yeast, mold, and bacterial infections are possible) are not dangerous, a few are beneficial like the bacteria that works with the yeast to make kombucha, or lactobacillus for sours and most fermented foods, or penicillium mold. If your brew becomes infected the most likely result is that it will taste and smell bad and maybe cause some gastrointestinal upset but not be particularly dangerous. For homemade alcohol distilling is where it really gets dangerous. Every fermentation will create some methanol but a healthy fermentation will produce very little and it will mostly get cleaned up during aging. A bad fermentation, either caused by infection or bad yeast, will produce more and in beer the levels will cause an unpleasant taste and smell but not hit toxic levels. When you distill a beer with higher levels, it gets retained and concentrated along with the ethanol and can cause serious illness.

Dear tech developers, if you are listening please put VR projects on the back burner. They are an interesting future technology but the currently possible technology that people would adopt if it were economical to do so is AR. A simple heads up display with an integrated personal assistant has enormous potential in both personal and business uses right now if it was reasonably priced and reliable. You could replace cell phones.

French colonization of Vietnam was what the VCP were fighting against at the beginning of the war. The Soviet Union and China got involved to help kick France and Britain out and US involvement came when it was clear France and Britain had lost the war. But other than that and the coalition troops I guess Europe wasn’t involved in the Vietnam War.
