Pineapples are compound berries.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple's brand is partially form over function.

As much as I hate the GOP, Puerto Rico has never attempted to apply for statehood. Their referendums on the subject have never shown a large enough amount of support for them to try a real vote. They're typically around a 50-50 split.

A lot of them don't know that Puerto Ricans are Americans. So, add xenophobia to the racism.

So as the year 1900 rolls around, I control 1/3 of the map landmass as territory under the work of my cities I cover the entirety of a large dorito shaped continent

However, one of the other human players has just researched nuclear theory and I’ve just figured out Great war infantry. I still have not caught up but I have made massive gains.

Well, there's your problem. Civ 5 had a thing where research took more science points to complete the more cities you had. The ideal number of cities to own was five. If you had even a single city over that, even if science output was maxed out in all cities, it would take longer to research anything than for a player with only five cities.

Religion victories in Civ are poorly telegraphed in general. You can easily look at the minimap and see that someone is conquering everything, and poking at a player's borders will show you that they're technologically advanced, but religion and culture victories tend to sneak up on people.

In an early draft where there were blob alien things instead of humans. By the time they replaced them with humans they had reduced the fleet to a single ship.

Technically, I think the base counts as US territory as far as citizenship-from-birth goes, but I could be wrong.

The big one for people born abroad is if one of their parents is a citizen at the time of their birth. If you're an American citizen, go to France for college, and have a kid with a French citizen while you're there, the kid will have both American and French citizenship.

They probably didn't. It's a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

But, confusingly, an LED TV is an LCD TV. An LED TV is just an LCD TV that uses an LED array for the backlight instead of florescent lights. Quantum dot or QLED displays are also just LCDs with a fancy backlight. OLED displays are the ones that actually have glowing subpixels.

I feel like someone was trying to do that with the 3e sorcerer and got either badly out-voted or overruled by someone higher up.

I wouldn't have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

sauren vape (is that how its spelled?)

Sauron, the Dark Lord?

I think some of them just lack people skills. I had this one manager that nobody liked and was rather prickly, but she very quickly kicked out an asshole customer and then immediately checked to make sure I was okay after. She cared, and actually did more for us than most of the rest of management, but her people skills were terrible.

Totally on board, but you can't have Yakko and Wakko without Dot.

I've seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.

It's not like they built the car, though.

Just stick 'em in one of those paint shakers they have in hardware stores.
