Most English speakers use Celsius, that doesn’t mean they know absolutely nothing about the Fahrenheit system. 

Lots of people couldn’t tell you immediately what, say 70F feels like, but I’m pretty sure the percentage of English speakers who don’t know that 32F is 0C is very small.

I don’t think there’s any overlap between “People who think Monopoly is a game worth playing” and “People who play Legacy games”.

I’d never judge someone for not having books on display, but I do find that a bookshelf is perhaps the single best conversation piece a room can have (assuming they’ve read most of the books).

So I might not recommend them if you’re trying to sell your house, but to actually live and entertain in, themed rooms are great.

While I agree that writing out Sam was weird and dumb, calling Jonah “just the ship’s cook” feels like a disservice (if technically true).

And Perfect World, and many others. Embracers buys companies the way most people buy groceries.

If you’re an experienced developer, you have better options. And if you’re trying to break in, it’s probably a terrible time. Junior hires are a long term investment, because they take a lot of work to onboard. Studios with a severe immediate labor shortage don’t go for juniors.

I think pretty much the only people who use dental dams are engaging in what would otherwise be extremely high risk sexual activities (orgies and the like). For most people, the risk of STD transmission through oral sex on a woman really isn’t high enough to worry about.

A big part of the issue is that they’re trying to make it look clean, since they still want it to feel like a luxury resort. A lack of fake imperfections makes the real imperfections much more noticeable. You can already see this in the park, where the interior of the Star Destroyer is less convincing than the rest of…

While Squid Game is, at its heart, a criticism of capitalism, the depiction of North Korea in the series is not at all sympathetic.

I suspect the question at this point is just how gigantic of a golden parachute is he going to get.

Polio’s death rate is substantially less than 1.6%. Most people infected were asymptomatic, and most people with symptoms just had some flu-like symptoms. About one percent of people suffered some degree of paralyses, and about ten percent of those died.

You know, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume that killing the titans was just meant as a metaphor for political defeat. I’m way more alarmed by the start of the video where they imply that unarmed migrants seeking a better life are an equivalent threat to the titans.

This is perhaps less true than it once was, especially in high cost of living cities, but it’s a decent-ish line of demarcation between middle class and wealthy (even if “six figures” includes a range from modestly wealthy to extremely wealthy).

50k is junior to mid level artist or designer. 100k is a junior to mid level programmer or lead artist or designer (very rough ballpark, I don’t have a great sense of Montreal’s cost of living).

My mom is a minister, so growing up we’d always get a ton of edible gifts to the family. The least appreciated were the various perishable sweets. Don’t get me wrong, we loved the first plate of cookies of the season, but by the six or seventh it was a choice between being guilty about letting them go stale or guilt…

I disagree. The critical dividing line between phone and tablet is “Can I keep this in my pocket full time?” If the answer is yes, it’s competing with cell phones, if no, it’s competing with tablets.

Heir to the Empire Thrawn was absolutely “actually evil”. He was just a slightly more realistic, nuanced version of evil than Palpatine or Tarkin. But we’re still talking about someone who murders someone to make a point in his very first scene.

For what it’s worth, my mother and her siblings (all in their late sixties) have come to love Don’t Starve Together. They like the social aspect, and while it’s by no means an easy game the core gameplay loop is easily accessible to people without prior gaming experience.
