The first Tangled trailer is very uninspiring and not really representative of the final product.

You can buy games on gog.com DRM-free, download them immediately and do what you want with it, with no additional phone-home mechanism in place. It’s almost like owning the original floppies/CD.

The reason given in the movie for why that couldn’t happen was Stark Jr., no? Tony was willing to risk himself, but not his daughter. 

Their intention, probably not. But it is apt: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/rush-to-finish-istanbul-airport-leads-to-deaths-and-protests-1.3651616 

That’s just what happens in the original; where’s your creativity for the reimagining?

I’m not sure how much I trust Opera since it was sold to the Chinese (and killed off most of its features), but I can second the recommendation of Vivaldi. It will basically run everything the way Chrome does (including extensions), but is much more feature-rich out of the box.

Now that Notepad is getting a refresher, it’s coming more into line, aesthetically, with Metro and should no longer look so outdated.

As dumb and downright problematic reddit and reddit culture can be at times, this is the kind of fun dumb I can get behind. 

That really is a nice model.

I’ve heard it’s called the “mowing” game, whatever that is supposed to mean. A few years ago, it was knockouts, now it’s black people attacking innocent white greenery. Where, oh where will it end?

Yeah, I stumbled over that line as well. Corporal punishment ist not okay and it is far too widespread in the United States still to let this go unchallenged (even if the lady has a point with the rest of her statements, and even if the only reason her neighbors are calling the police is because it’s a black lady…

For Disney, I was kind of hoping for the Karmic justice of Chris Sanders replacing Lasseter, but Lee is okay, I guess.

And now that the anniversary is over, it looks like the original is back up and the weird version is gone again.

Huh. Weird indeed. And if his point was some kind of “gotcha”, he really should have edited out Lilah (the girlfriend). But this way is just incongruous and creepy.

I haven’t read the books in probably almost 20 years now, but based on memory, they also remain some of my favorite EU material. Part of the reason is actually what James complains about at the start of the article:

I’m not that familiar with the Alabama school system, but... I don’t get it? Surely the teachers aren’t just storing grades (and the papers they are based on) in one central location. I’m sure it’s annoying to ask all teachers (of a single high school) to check the grades again, but shouldn’t that happen anyway…

Among other things, she rather bluntly called Hillary Clinton out for losing, the press for pretending to be hard on Trump while actually loving that he is improving their bottom line, and his press secretary for lying a lot.

While I get your point, if you just read (Homer’s) Iliad, you wouldn’t actually learn about the Trojan Horse. It’s not part of that story.

Academic rigour is important to me, and I was curious about the precise circumstances. And I did write another paragraph, you know. A teacher can be racist and wrong about a person without being wrong about a specific assignment.
