if any of these startups succeed, my condolences to the engineers who get hired afterwards and are stuck bugfixing

This is any successful startup - you don't succeed by making a perfect product, you succeed by making a buggy mess that's enough to convince both investors and more importantly customers that there's potential... That means you need to rebuild from scratch in years 2-4 anyway, so frankly for the engineers who are coming in then, there's little to no difference

wake me up when october ends

Dominance over the food chain; dominance over the environment; dominance over where other species (and their own) are even allowed to live; dominance over the genetics of other species, etc.

Are those the trackers which demand you have accounts with other private trackers before you join or the ones which demand everyone have a >1 ratio to download anything which is impossible by definition, so everyone either gets huge seedboxes, cheats the ratio or has to download niche but big files from other sites and switch out the tracker to artificially up the ratio?

I'm sure there are actually good private trackers, but I've found there are open/effectively open (sign up only with no verification/requirements) trackers with better communities than any restricted one I've found

In Europe it's not uncommon, Apple only really have a monopoly in the US

And free on PlayStation at the time, but sony thought it was so good they'd copy it

Many places including Japan allow foreigners to register and bring a reasonable supply (3 months or so?) of most drugs that are illegal there but legal in their home country with a valid prescription (most of Europe and North America, Japan & Singapore all do), and the places that don't let you register them to bring them legally often let you bribe your way out even if you are discovered with them (eg Uzbekistan/Uganda/whatever)

*Rail travel

Air is generally cheaper than rail for the cheapest ticket, but more polluting and for journeys under around 300 miles slower, if you're flying from city centre airports like Billy Bishop or London City, or 500 miles if you're flying from larger out of city airports. Additionally it's even safer than flying and you can take way more luggage and bikes.

People don't tend to have a fear of train travel though, it's just that NIMBYs, those who would rather pour money into a pit than make investments and corrupt politicians (those last two often being the same people) who tend to dislike it.

Helico means spinning and pter means pter

1000 bugs isn't that big, especially when it's the same bug surfacing in different ways or bugs you either barely notice or look past (but do notice, eg an alignment issue on the ui)

Who uses RARs who doesn't use 7z though?

I think using anything other than deflate zip for things like sending to teachers or whatever isn't very wise, and if you're not then you won't need to apologise anyway

River x is the standard form (river ganges, river thames, river nile) it's only really when a river is named after an existing place that it's different (LA river, Chicago river), where the location is used as an adjective. The same applies to oceans and seas generally, where they're named relative to an existing place or concept and so the adjective comes before, rather than the name coming after.
