This is false. This is one of the 4 VHS tapes I watched endlessly as a kid. She actually gives up her hair, which is something she has been proud of the whole time to be microwaved. She eventually gets new hair at the end of the movie but shes sad to be bald for a while.

I think they mean Seth Grahme-Smith, author of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

So I'm down. Please not too many pew pew space battles. You can include Abe Lincoln if appropriate. That is precedented and canonical for Star Trek.

Cut out the middleman and get some rollerblade wheels for the chair with sleeve bearings. They go over short carpet and hardwood floor and don't cause any damage.

Selling to Netflix? Psssh. The real money is in is releasing films in cardboard-cased DVDs at truck stops and dollar stores.

I know it's not the same thing but the new flip phones from Motorola and Samsung have 4-ish inch screens on the front. You can run all your apps on the front screen too.

They did that one time on Undiscovered Country. I guess that was a Klingon ship though.

That's a tricky question. In some way, an unintentional error being corrected later makes sense. Especially since something like a sound effect doesn't change the plot. It's sort of akin to using digital effects to remove visible wires from model-based space shots.

But where does it end? I don't know if I have a good answer.

Sometimes I like to make up headcanon to justify mistakes for fun. For instance, maybe the paging system on the Defiant blew out on a mission and O'Brien had to wire in a Cardassian chime temporarily while he waited for a new part to get ordered.

I have a 500gb SSD that I paid the same amount for as a 2tb SSD costs now. Ram and SSD prices are super good right now. I'd say 32gb ram and 2tb SSD is definitely worth it for the price of the whole system.

I guess it's harder to do this after 13 years of default "free" content. It's easier for someone like Spotify to do that because there has always been the option to pay for premium.

I remember in the earlier days of Spotify there were a lot of ways to get half priced service just by finding xyz code or paying $5 for a code on eBay that got you a year of half priced Spotify. I don't know where those came from or how those existed but it was definitely what finally convinced me to subscribe.

(I've since cancelled in favor of buying CDs again but I realize I'm the oddball in that scenario)

I'd love to see them push for Mastadon. They can serve as an entry point for a lot of people because for the layperson, the fediverse is an odd place that's kind of hard to understand.

If they can just be the, "hey join Firefox.social and you're in the fediverse. Here's our Fedifox app for your phone, bing bang boom." I think it could go a long way to growing the total userbase.

The game as-shipped clearly has some technical issues, but it has at least been upfront about them and what it's doing to improve the situation: given its long-term support for Cities: Skylines, which released in 2015, you'd expect it will eventually get to the root of this.

Or, hear me out cause this is a wild idea. Finish a game before you ship it?

So Ascended is a remake of the official release but still "Early Access" and you can't upgrade from the edition you already have, and they won't be cross compatible for multiplayer. And it runs like warmed-over ass. Also ARK 2 is supposed to be out next year?

Sounds good to me!

But are the updates still going to be 250gb each? Because if not, can this truly be called ARK?
