“This reasoning doesn’t make sense to me,” Behrendt adds. “It’s like saying we can prosecute a safecracker only if the safe proved to be empty.”

Judging from the flowchart that I saw on this very website, easily half of the choices have no meaning. You choose between 2 things, and proceed to the next node regardless of choice.

Ohhhh, Shot-Ski! Clever! I thought he was presenting someone with a ceremonial sword, but on second glance I see the curved end.

I definitely understand your perspective. But despite any temporary problems (the WoW launch was utterly disastrous as well, I was there), it remains that D3 crushed many sales records regardless.

But Seinfeld is still like “Nah, fam”

It’s really weird, because once sold at public offerings, the stock has very little to do with the operation of a company. A stock could lose 90% of its shareholder value, and not in any way effect the solvency of the company that sold the stock.

Clove oil is powerfully antiseptic.  It’s a classic remedy for tooth infections.
