Thanks for the reminder. Ordered mine.

It can still happen, but usually at the customer's request/requirements. We actually use inches at a much smaller scale, but use decimals instead of fractions.

Putting a minifrige under my desk was one of the best bad decisions I've made.

All too appropriate, and frightening.

I don't know if it is the context messing with me or what, but General Grievous looks like he has doe eyes here.

Yeah. That was just an example. If ~35 million users bought one game a year, you get that number. Of course the actual number is much larger.

I will when I can. They are in a storage unit that I can get to on Saturday at best and I will have to dig through stuff. There is also a fair chance of my memory failing because it has been 25 years.

Thanks. That helps quite a bit. The internet's fury has made me question whether I am correct in this regard countless times, but I still have textbooks that say that the usage in this meme is correct. I've been curious for a long time.

Ok, this is a personal thing for me. It might be just UK/Europe (I don't know) that rejects this use of the apostrophe in this case. Throughout my North American (US, specifically) education into collegiate level English courses I was taught to use an apostrophe to pluralize initialisms and acronyms specifically. If it is not an initialism or acronym, carry on with just adding an "s."

If there is an actual problem within this US variation of English that I have been taught, please let me know, because it's become frustrating to see things such as: "you don't need that apostrophe," and "this is a sin against the apostrophe" etc. etc.

I'm not trying to be critical or harsh here, just get a better understanding.

Sure, but 38,000,000 x $60 = $2,280,000,000. And that's if they all spend only $60/year, and only on Steam, and the average I'm sure is much higher.

I have my doubts about this being easy, since the other necessary function of headlights is being seen.

The religious right loved DOOM initiaĺly because the whole goal is to kill demons. Of course you had the whole Jack Thompson thing going on, though. What a nightmare.

iirc it is during install now. You have to do things that are way beyond the average user's knowledge or ability to enable a local account.

Sure, but I highly doubt they are making policy where they work. I don't think most employers would be happy about some random researcher not only plugging in a flash drive from home, but using it to install unapproved software (a full OS at that).

I had to look it up myself.

Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.

I remember being maybe 6 and napping on the "shelf" between the back seat and rear glass if my parents' boat of a Cadillac. Not like there were seat belts to keep me in place.

I have to be very careful when I eat pizza. My dog will sneak up and swallow a slice whole before I can react.

Look, I really do dislike Linkin Park and always have, but you obviously have no clue about how people or their musical tastes work. You are the one that needs to grow up, both in perspective and empathy.
