Children of the corn?

Where do I put in my request for that bluesky money I’m owed, then?

AP also showed some states red or blue with no vote tallies. Notably, at 11pm EST, California turned solid blue immediately on the AP map, surprising no one.

The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

Earliest game I can think of would be Super Metroid, with it’s X-Ray Scanner, which is an upgrade you get partway through the game. It’s not 100% necessary, but some of the game’s secrets are designed with it in mind.

The Metroid Prime games implemented an FPS version of this pretty well. Really contributed to the atmosphere in some places. Also, while the visors let you see otherwise invisible things, they also made other things harder to see (or, in the case of the scanning visor, you couldn’t shoot while it was on.)

Makes you long for golden parachutes that don’t open when their 737 Max loses an engine or two

With Product Placement!

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don’t remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

Doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing!

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

And the hot wings use the other kind of mace

Some good examples here. I’d just mention a few other memorable dialogue scenes:

• all the scenes of McCoy with Spock’s Katra in ST:III, including lines like “Yes, Genesis! How can you be deaf with ears like that?” and “Where’s the logic in offering me a ride home, you idiot? If I wanted a ride home, would I be trying to charter a space flight?”
• in Star Trek IV, the scene with Kirk and Spock in Gillian’s pickup, with Nimoy doing his best Gracie Allen impression. Also, the “No dipshit” bit in the restaurant.

I’m from Québec, and didn’t realize this wasn’t already a law everywhere in Canada and the US.

Resistance is futile. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

Distilled water is safe to drink, as long as you have a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

The claim that it “leeches” those minerals out of you isn’t supported by any real evidence.

I used to drink distilled water at home for years with no side effects.

Unless you turn on “original sound for musicians” Zoom uses AI to filter the audio for voices mainly. I rarely if ever hear any keystrokes or mouse clicks anymore… Lots of other non voice noises get filtered out.
