For free.

How many other games give you as much free “DLC” at Minecraft, year after year? And the game was lower cost to begin with.

If this was any other game, every one of these updates would be $10 and/or the whole platform would have gone to an annual subscription a long time ago

I don’t, really. But my field is also kinda niche (it’s not like some popular field like genetics or infectious diseases. There aren’t many journalists covering us at all, yet. I work in marketing for an industrial exosuit company (think practical, assistive, biomechanical wearables). Most of the journalists that are covering us at this point are used to covering news about forklifts or warehouse automation, so they aren’t used to reading peer reviewed scientific publications at all. Their exposure to papers on biomechanics and injury risk factors is more rare, and they might as well be Latin (well, sometimes they do have a lot of Latin).

But it’s also something of a joke. When I was back taking journalism classes for my communications and marketing degree, the professors would joke about how journalists covering either legal summaries or scientific summaries would say that 1 + 2 = 5 all the time, leaving out important details that were critical to the conclusions because they weren’t interesting. I think the scientists put up with it because as long as the conclusion is correct, they’re just happy to have anyone paying attention.

As someone who works in communications in a very science-heavy field: in fairness, journalists are also typically terrible at summarizing scientific papers.

How Simon broke River out is pretty significantly different, that’s the biggest one. A few other small things.

And I refuse to consider “Serenity” canon for other obvious reasons.

Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.

How can it be canon to both the show and the movie? The movie wasn’t in the same canon as the show.

Hadn’t seen Polyphonic before. Looks great. Subscribed!

Saved you a click: Mom didn’t sign school’s waiver. 5 year old sent home “covered in vomit” without being cleaned up.

It’s worse than that for copyrights owned by companies, like this is.

It’s 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation

Awesome to see

Do we only pay servers if they’re waiting tables?

Yes, actually. In the USA anyway. They’re paid very low wages and that’s a very common form of wage theft that goes unchecked and unreported: restaurants required servers to do pre-shift work at their normal sub-minimum-wage pay with no hope of making tips during that time. It’s illegal but happens all the time

Yeah, and I wonder what the non-Tesla numbers look like too. Tesla is so much of the market in the USA, but it’s known to have a lot of issues.

Looks cool, but first?

You have to see the huge logical leap you’re making in your main point, right?

Just because some of Jesus’ disciples believed they saw a resurrected Jesus isn’t scientific proof that he was resurrected. It just means they believed he did.

You’re searching for facts in a realm of faith. Either you believe or you don’t. If you only believe in something that is proven, then you don’t have faith, just conviction.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Heb 11:1

When I first started out, I assumed this was more how it worked. I definitely thought that game difficulty affected resource generation. Easier settings meant more ores scattered around (and at higher levels) while harder made them super-rare, etc.

Go MTSU Blue Raiders!

I think the more direct inspiration was Gus March-Phillips. The recent movie “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a fictionalized telling of the work that the team Ian Fleming was on, based of some of the recently declassified missions.

Either way, if you’re interested in the topic it’s a really fun movie.

They had municipal elections in odd numbered years, while major congressional, state, and national elections are all in even numbered years.

If you want more people to vote in municipal elections, sync them with the major elections that draw people’s interest. That much makes sense.

But they should have shortened a term, not lengthened one, to get them synced.

Seems like there should have been rules that the only way to do this would be to shorten a term by a year, not lengthen it. Democracy without smart checks like that is begging to be abused.

Seems like a good way to increase turnout. But still…
