My school’s bus, which was used only for sporting events and trips, was an actual prison bus. It still had restraint attachment points and the bars on the windows.
It was brilliant for psyching out the other football teams.

I think it would be hydrodynamic and screw evolution I want my beef to be as aerodynamic as an F1.

They perceive they are losing out because of the economy. Look at the places that vote red; they have all lost manufacturing and gone backwards in standard of living.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 1 week ago:
No the demographics of voters are very real and the Kamala campaign spent virtually no time convincing cis white males that their lives would be better under Kamala.
Virtually everyone votes out of self interest. Trying to convince people to vote out of altruism while they perceive they will be losing out isn’t going to work.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 1 week ago:
Surely the polarisation of politics, in part due to painting cis white men as colonising evil bastards at every opportunity, has nothing to do with the current state of politics.

One of the original supporting data sources was a myth of the Ainu people containing a woman who hunted.
If you want biased and unscientific sources keep digging into their claims.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 weeks ago:
I refuted this article when it was published based on their incredibly biased and cherry picked data sources which were entirely baseless.
I wish more people were willing to apply critical thinking and analysis to such claims. All falsified claims are a setback and detriment to humankind’s comprehension of the universe.
- Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund 2 weeks ago:
I received a refund in 2018 though they have since tried changing their EULA and TOS to make it harder, they have no legal standing to refuse a refund to Australian customers.
I was refunded for around $750 USD IIRC and at one point was in email contact with Will Leverett prior to my refund being approved.

I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you because it would hurt his stats.
JD would try.
I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.
Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.

That depends entirely on which end you put the water in

Yes, they have tried.

I did state very clearly that in my opinion they have so far not been effective but they have tried which was my point.
Now are you done disappointing your 7th grade English teacher?

That’s just punitive damages awarded by the court and also isn’t unusual.
- Comment on Controversial dynamic ticket pricing to be banned in Australia amid sweeping federal crackdown 4 weeks ago:
Labor has attempted to address both house and grocery prices in other manners, though I see no reason to believe their approach to either will be effective.

In what way is Nintendo guilty?
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 4 weeks ago:
That’s hardly unique when damages exceed what a person can pay, wage garnishing is actually relatively common.
Nintendo also gave Gary Bowser a warning and he signed an agreement saying he would stop his illegal activities… and then he continued anyway.
They gave him an out at no cost and instead he landed himself in prison because he fucked around and found out.

In video games development, and more broadly in software development, Alpha state refers to a feature incomplete and largely untested state and is unrelated to internal/external sales, review, testing or release.
Alpha software is not thoroughly tested by the developer before it is released to customers.
While outside of recent trends, particularly in crowd funded games development, alpha releases to customers for paid software are less common they do occur and don’t have any bearing on the alpha state of the software.
In general, external availability of alpha software is uncommon for proprietary software, while open source software often has publicly available alpha versions.
Further
A feature-complete (FC) version of a piece of software has all of its planned or primary features implemented but is not yet final due to bugs, performance or stability issues. This occurs at the end of alpha testing in development.
And for Beta
Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. A beta phase generally begins when the software is feature-complete but likely to contain several known or unknown bugs
I am both a qualified software developer, and have worked in the video games industry. I hope you have learnt something.

The industry definitions of alpha/beta disagree with you.
Words have meaning and you’re using them wrong.
- Comment on Comparative anatomy 1 month ago:
Right now you’re orbiting the galactic core (well basically, its very close) at 250,000km/h +/- ~30,000km/h (Earths rotation of the Sun).
And it still took 65 million years to complete less than half an orbit of the galaxy.

In the late 90’s I saw someone catch a cast iron pan to the head. I don’t recommend it.

Your layman opinion on this is really worthless, the media industry and media standards agree that it is good practice.
