Can actually be done without any inbreeding. For instance, if a man has children with two women who are sisters, the children would be paternal half-siblings and maternal cousins. Used to be fairly common when arranged marriages and dying in childbirth were normal. Wife died, but the marriage ties are important so you marry her sister.

Likely depends on jurisdiction. Should be legal in Oregon. Less sure about Missouri.

What about just telling them that the meth is laced with birth control now?

Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

The Batman: Arkham, Metro, and Mass Effect games are also impacted.

While the 5090 will run the latest games great, it will struggle with many older games due to the RTX 50 series having dropped 32-bit PhysX support. RTX 40 series cards are nearly as powerful and have 32-bit PhysX, if backwards compatibility is a concern.

- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 3 weeks ago:
Anything with a cohesive narrative would have been better than the sequel trilogy, including Dark Empire. Hell, Abrams did Dark Empire anyway, he just compressed it into a single film along with ESB and ROTJ because he’s never had a single original idea about Star Wars.

It actually does have legal precident. You know how you can’t read or accept the EULA for software until after you purchase it?
- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 3 weeks ago:
Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.
That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don’t blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.

Unbound was basically Underground 3. Story wasn’t exceptional or anything, though.

Mitochondria, for sure. They even still have their own DNA separate from your actual human DNA.

They had all that free marketting from people assuming the third one would be the 720 and they ditched it in favor of calling it the Xbox One, which everyone was already using for the name of the first Xbox. Still baffled by that one.

In other words, they’re exactly the same as a lot of the games on disc for Xbox and PlayStation.

I think the Great Plateau is roughly the size of OOT’s entire world, so if she only played classic titles that may feel reasonable.

And Oregon. The only people that call it ‘pop’ here are 80+, and it’s rare for them. I used to hear it called ‘pop’ by the elderly all the time when I was a kid, but that demographic has been dying out for the past twenty years.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 1 month ago:
Don’t forget that the Wii U had one of the most incompetent console marketing campaigns of all time. Just two years ago I met someone who still didn’t know it was a console and not an accessory.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 2 months ago:
My aunt got corrective eye surgery and was really happy with it, but her description of the experience made me want to never do it. For whatever procedure she had, they had to keep her awake to provide feedback while also scalpelling open the lens of her eye and she said she could smell her eyeball being lasered. She had absolutely no side effects and loves not needing to wear glasses, but her telling me what the procedure was like put it firmly in the hell no category for me.

I’ve had people tailgate me in the right lane for miles before deciding to pass, even with a completely open left lane. And it’s usually a pickup.

Doesn’t work in the remaster; they changed so that all skills contribute to level up progress.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 3 months ago:
Oblivion and Skyrim are 200 years apart, but geographically border each other. Classic Oblivion didn’t render Skyrim, but that was more for technical reasons than anything else. If you get high enough up in Skyrim on a clear day you can see the entire continent.

I like to describe classic Oblivion characters as looking like they were all carved from the same potato.
