Anyone who knows Nintendo’s history, knows that they go super hard on litigating. Don’t let the happy little mascots fool you, they’re as aggressive as Disney when they think they can get away with it.
Google, on the other hand, still has some software people in their management structure.
The sad thing about Oblivion is that there are in-game books in Morrowind and previous games that describe the empire as being in the middle of a bamboo jungle. The vibe comes off as the Roman Empire in South East Asia.
Instead we got generic high fantasy with the occasional guy wearing Roman armor.
Only as far as storyline and setting go. Other than that, it was an okay shooter.
Reciting from memory is a bardic skill, but those “other people” were his dedicated assistants.
Well, possibly. We don’t know when Homer went blind, or if he was ever actually blind.
All we really know is that the two biographies written about him were written at least 400 years after his death. Both are highly questionable, but both still say that Homer was literate, or at least well educated, before losing his sight.
All we actually know is that Homer wrote the Iliad (or parts of it) and the Odyssey.
And we know the works of Homer because they were written down.
Bards aren’t just the run of the mill musicians. They are so much more than that.
And most of that “so much more” requires extensive training. Which requires some form of reading.
Bards are historians and have some magic of their own.
Well, as long as it’s not any smaller than the hummingbird, it’s still possible.
A hummingbird is pushing the limits of the wild shape ability, and would actually not be allowed under some versions of the game
A flea is too small for wild shape.
Cutting costs and laying people off makes the books look slightly better (more cash on hand) which makes the stock price jump, which is all these ghouls want because they’re going to sell off on the high, and then bail out.
That’s not how it works. Making money today is the only thing these ghouls care about, ruining a company or brand is just dandy because they won’t be holding the bag when it bursts. They’ll have passed it to someone else. Someone else who will then work to gut the company even more before selling it to someone who will gut it and close it down.
And nothing of real value will have been made, but lots of rich asshats will be slightly richer.
The Mississippi River sees constant river boat traffic.
Those smaller, feeder rivers often aren’t big enough to support a barge.
The Jones act mostly applies to ocean shipping, in fact, I don’t think the Jones act even applies to river traffic.
To be fair, the Jones act consistently fucks over Puerto Rico, and should probably be scrapped or amended, it just doesn’t stop river traffic on rivers that can’t actually support said traffic.
Low level wizards are a drain on the party.
High level wizards… Don’t fuck with the high level wizards. Especially not ones who have some time to prep for the encounter.
It goes back to the idea of the signal fire.
The symbolism of the burning cross was specifically used a call to arms/declaration of war for the Scottish clans. Sort of a command for all clan members to make their way to the area and defend it.
It was used extensively in the 1715 Jacobite rising and in Canada among Scottish settlers during the war of 1812.
It was made a symbol of the Klan by a racist fan fiction author in 1905. (note that this is after the first Klan was disbanded, and before the second formed)
The racist fan fiction author knew about the Scottish tradition, and assumed that the burning cross would call all the white people together to come kill the black people.
And now you know.
The root word is Persian. Middle Persian to be exact. pistakē.
Pistachios are native to Iran, parts of Afghanistan, and a spattering of other middle eastern countries.
Commercial production mostly came out of Iran until the 1970s, when changes to the US tax code made growing for production favorable, then the Iranian Revolution hit and US production took off.
Brother is the go to because their stuff is basic and functional.
All the other companies have “innovated” to the point where their shit is unusable for daily use.
So you don’t care about children dying when they’re Palestinian?
Thank you for being honest about it, but maybe be more upfront about your hatred in the future. Then we can all dismiss you out of hand and not have to waste time on your bullshit.
So you don’t care about brown people dying to fuel Netanyahu’s love of ethnic cleansing?
Are you one of those jackasses who believe that the Jews have to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and send them all to hell?
Those fucks seem to care about innocent deaths as much as you seem to…
Israel has killed over 15k Palestinians in Gaza in the last two months. Most of them children.
So by your metric that’s worse. Much worse.
Israel doesn’t bomb military relevant targets, unless you count every single building in Gaza as “Militarily relevant”.
The lie of “Israel defending themselves” has also worn thin after it was revealed that Netanyahu was both supporting Hamas, and had copies of their full plans over two years ago.
He even diverted troops from Gaza to aid in the ethnic cleansing over in the West Bank.
I combine UBO with No Script and Privacy Badger. I’ve not seen any slow downs or ads or anything else.
