My friend just ordered this. There’s a site where you can buy/pre-order figures like this in installments. I think his was $20 down, then $100/100/185, or something like that.

We’re much more entwined than that now. Total Chinese international investments ticked over $1 trillion last year, with much of that in Europe and the US. Meanwhile, $121 billion in outside investments flowed into China in 2014 alone. Our indices also mirrored (though to a lesser degree) the China sell-off to start…

Considering Japan’s political system, it will take months.

That’s actually not completely out of the question, as long as they can properly pressure Kim Jong Un. A lot of what’s happening now is about losing face. It can’t be through military action, but more like establishing a self-governed state like Macau or Hong Kong through diplomacy. That said, China is the only…

That was the thinking in the 70s and 80s, but it’s changed a bit. They can’t ditch NK without losing face because of China still project itself as a “communist” power, but they would love it if NK suddenly ceased to exist. China is no longer communist. They’re an authoritarian government that’s capitalist through and…

I think this is more proof of concept than anything. Since this uses Thunderbolt, it won’t be long until we see third-party vendors selling their own enclosures and you can slot in your own cards. That will be significantly cheaper than building a gaming desktop.

Man, I’m surprised someone else remembered that thing.

And they will be, but do they have the capacity to do actual harm? I don’t believe so. They’re no different than the “I’ll roll coal and jack up my truck because I’m rebel and don’t care about your laws” rednecks. If they did this in a metropolitan area (or even a speed trap town), it’d be a different story, but…

Until they commit an act of terror, they are not terrorists. Their actions should not cause fear in anyone, and letting them frighten and intimidate you is giving them power over you that they do not have.

I honestly don’t think he gives a shit. Walking on water is way more fun than checking in on a few billion vaginas.

It’s a strange dichotomy. I think decision making should also be equal. The current push is that men have no say in a pregnancy, while women are faulted for getting pregnant in the first place. In essence, women are being shamed while men are relegated to accept whatever fate awaits them. Neither side gets anything…

You missed out on some prime BC years. Free shit is good shit (except hep C and STDs).

Jesus house upbringing probably tried to teach her women can only be successful as mothers.

Physical DLC?

It’s for the the entire series, which the author wasn’t very clear about. As for why there are only four figures? They’re fucking idiots. I would totally trade out any of them for an AT-AT.

I get the feeling this was the result of Abrams and Disney wanting to avoid spoiling the plot. Remember, back when this was designed, Rey’s significance was supposed to be a complete surprise for movie-goers (she wasn’t even in the teasers), and Finn was the star.

In this instance, they absolutely are. To be a terrorist, you have to instill fear in people for their way of life or beliefs. These people are idiots because their actions instill absolutely no fear in anyone. Maybe the park rangers or the poor janitors that will have to clean up the inevitably clogged toilets, but…

We need to band together and stop DDoS attacks. They can only be mitigated, but never stopped unless we identify the perpetrators.

Funds for the re-education camp for those programmer-cum-janitors.

It’s strange. Some downloads are surprisingly fast (like almost PC speeds), while others feel like 1998. Especially puzzling because the connection test results are consistent. On top of that, the time estimates are pretty off. I’ll see a 3hr download estimate and it finishes five minutes after I start another game or…
