Not particularly. It was an ordinary neighborhood branch bank, but it was in a city with a lot of crime (Cape Town, South Africa).

I’ve been in one where the guards were armed with assault rifles. It was unnerving.

Depends on the type of store. Margins are actually very tight at grocery stores, for instance, and product loss is part of that. I’m not going to very a treat for the rich CEO, but it’s worth remembering that everything is connected. The theft adds up, and the way it impacts the balance sheet can shift the company’s…

They do tend to be transphobic, however. 

If it brings the series to a better resolution than the ending it got, then I’m interested.

I much prefer the writing in Western RPGs, but I prefer the simplicity of JRPG interfaces, particularly those from the SNES and PSX eras. The art can go either way depending on setting.

Only certain judges get lifetime appointments, but yes, the practice needs to be ended regardless.

I mean, there’s no way to make that particularly correct, but Hebrew is a lot closer to the other languages of the era. What would take some more research would be checking whether Latin and/or Greek was widely spoken in Egypt at the time (and not just by the royalty).

It’s probably reliance on some obscure software library that was included in PS4 but won’t be on PS5. 

The Root is playing a bit of a joke on its readers. Have a look at the actual post; about halfway down the Schadenfreude begins.

It’s a particular brand of condescending / concern-trolling bigotry rather than garden variety hatred, and she hasn’t made the logical connection to see why that approach is *still* bigotry.

We’re miscommunicating the timeline here. Part of that is my fault. The card was published in 1994, not the essay. The essay was published in 1995. That’s what I mean by it not being a thing.

Again, though, the numbering of the card didn’t occur in 2004. That’s when the online database became available, but the card-sorting methodology on which the numbering was based was already in place long before that. The sorting system was present in the Magic: The Gathering encyclopedias.

The “14 words” weren’t published until 1994. The numeric ID of the card comes from a sorting schema whereby cards are sorted by set, color, then English name. Both the card and the sorting schema predate 1994.

Worth noting that a dance isn’t copyrightable under current US law and precedent. A choreography is, but a short string of dance moves is not.

She’s a US citizen.

It is unfortunate that the actress apparently outed herself as a raging pro-party nationalist.

“Perhaps they’ll put all three up for sale individually?”

Trill are more analogous to religious concepts of reincarnation. The soul has no specific gender; that’s a totally physical thing.

It might be “seeking out” that type of plot, but *Insomnia* was a remake of an already-existing film.
