I used single-fire as a colloquialism because some people might not understand what semi-automatic means, especially if they don’t know guns. My comment correctly denoted “select-fire”, as AR-15s have had that capability since their first iteration.

That being said, were you saying that there was a scene where someone…

1) I think they’re worried about the actual spying being boring and mundane because...actual spying tends to be boring and mundane. So much fieldwork and tradecraft has been transposed into things like SIGINT and immense amount of data analysis, that the halcyon days of late WWII and the Cold War where dead-drops and…

Just have to point out that AR-15s, and pretty much their entire family lineage of rifles, are select fire, meaning that you can choose between single-fire and either fully-auto or 3-round burst, depending on the model.

I have loved pretty much everything Villeneuve has done (BR2049 brought me to tears), but I agree with this wholeheartedly.

It felt...lifeless. Granted, I’ve never read the books, so I was coming in blind except for comedic reviews of the Lynch version, but there was nothing about the movie that moved me. I’m not one…

That’s immediately where my mind went.

Dre has the resources to live halfway across the world, or bounce around to different homes across the country, to avoid being served papers. Hell, it’s a common-enough trope not to return for family gatherings, such as funerals, if you have warrants out on you, or are getting…

Truth be told, there’s so much that goes into the cost of an individual item on a menu that it’s almost foolish, economically, to use that as a barometer on whether or not wages should/could/would increase or decrease the price of that item.

Different countries have different rules regarding the composition of the…

I’d add a small counterpoint to your point.

Fast food often thrives because of the combination of economies of scale when it comes to input costs (such as purchasing food), as well as franchise models that offset a great deal of the associated overhead costs that would otherwise be born by the franchisor or the…

EVE needed an in-house economist (I used to play EVE, and studied economics, so there’s that) because EVE, unlike most MMOs, was designed to where NPCs provided little-to-no actual input on the greater economy, particularly when it came to the sourcing of raw materials and the production of said materials into…

Not much, since having read the book and watched the film, there are significant differences.

It’s basically a non-careerist Dexter at this point.

And it’s not a bad thing. Dexter fell victim to the central premise almost becoming too laughable (a Youtube creator pointed out that in 8 seasons of the show, the Miami PD Homicide Division, of which Dexter is a part of, managed to solve all of 2 homicide cases,…

You don’t need a type advantage against Brock with Charmander.

Catch Metapod in Viridian Forest. Evolve Metapod into Butterfree at level 10. Butterfree learns Confusion (lvl 10 in Yellow/12 in Red/Blue). Use Confusion against Geodude and Onyx, both of whom don’t resist it and have shit Sp. Def.

Or, as you said, you can…

You’re absolutely right, and it’s my mistake. I was conflating his case with someone elses’. Thank you for pointing it out.

It’s one of those odd things, because I’ve been a longtime fan of Dave, I’ve watched most of his standup dating back to the 90s, and I’ve gotten to see him live, back in 2014. Needless to say, I’m…

I’ve watched all of his specials, and I’ve had the privilege of seeing him live, back in 2014.

My points still stand.

In the sense that Pokemon has a rather simple gameplay loop, then yes, it’s a grind by definition, but not a “grind” as it’s colloquially used (meaning doing something you don’t necessarily want to do because it’s arguably the most efficient option available).

Take an MMO for example. The ostensible goal is to get to…

That’s the thing.

Pokemon has never been overly grindy. A normal, non-speed run of a Pokemon game, from start until beating the E4 and the Champion (or whatever derivation the specific game has) can be done in under 10 hours, easily. There are very few modern JRPGs that can be completed that fast, with the caveat that…

It’s all well and good that he’s against the Bathroom Bill, but it’s naive to think that being against a single reprehensible bill is indicative of advocacy for the rights and opportunities for the group as a whole.

It’s even more telling that the idea or the implication is coming from a black man like Dave, where he…

Maybe I’m misremembering or conflating something from a different show, but wasn’t there an episode where they put TVs in the headrests in a person’s car...and the person drove a 2-seater?

Yeah.

It involves having a Finneon be traded to you from Ruby and Sapphire, never picking up any fishing rod, teaching your Finneon Surf, then Surfing to a specific solitary island that has a single NPC that wants to trade his Magikarp for a Finneon.

Once you trade the Finneon, and save your game, you’re completely…

Allow me to step in, as a black man, and a gay man.

The vast majority of people aren’t aware that DaBaby shot and killed a man. In fact, fewer people know that the man had broken into DaBaby’s home, and DaBaby shot and killed the man in self-defense. He was charged, and the charges were dropped by the police because…

1) It can have an indirect effect on how overlevelled your active Pokemon get.

Without an Exp. Share, the only Pokemon who gets XP are those who participate in battle. Meaning you’re spending time switching out Pokemon who might not necessarily do anything in the battle to win. In fact, you probably don’t want them to…
