IV was the one I spent the most time on, so that makes sense. But with V it’s not a lack of depth, more a lack of continuity. Of course it’s been so long since I played it I can’t remember any specific examples, I just remember being disappointed, and thinking they spent so much time/money on the physics, they had nothing left for the story …

In other words… differently.

Newton’s theory of gravity … severely inaccurate.

Except it’s not - it’s accurate enough within certain limits to still be useful today. It’s only inaccurate in extreme cases. Relativity is more accurate, sure, but outside of the extremes, it’s more complex than Newton’s and not worth the extra trouble.

GPS wouldn’t work if you were correct.

Common misconception. It would work fine, just differently.

I’m super picky, but I like Hawaiian pizza, so I don’t think it’s that…

Base 16 is great when you’re interacting with a computer, but aside from that, not much. Only being divisible by 2 is kind of a pain in the real world.

I was disappointed by GTAV - yeah graphics were great, huge world and all, but they skimped on the writing.

Didn’t trey parker & matt stone already do that?

I guess that was Jesus vs Santa Claus…

Church lady has entered the chat…

I had a crazy Catholic prepper neighbor way back in '99 (she was the hipster of preppers, one of the things she railed about was all the people prepping just for y2k when she had already been doing it for years, but that’s another story) and one of her things was how evil bill gates was- so I told her Linux was evil-er because of the daemons. Gave her a lot to think about.

If there’s an empty napkin dispenser, that would be my assumption. But it’s been happening more often and at more places that no, they don’t even have dispensers, you need to ask for napkins.

Nobody else can see the files on your c:\ drive. Designing a “website” means little if you don’t have a place to host it

Too late.

I had one of the old fashioned distorted text ones the other day, but instead of something like “please enter the text above” it just said “are you human?” next to the text box. Naturally, I typed “yes” but that turned out to be the wrong answer.

Whenever anyone does anything, that’s usually the case…

It’s not that they “took a lot of code from the GNU project”, it’s that “Linux” is the kernel, which is just the core of the OS, by itself it’s not very useful. All the stuff around it that constitutes the rest of the operating system, like the command line and the vast majority of the commands you might run from there, are the GNU project. And I’m not even getting into desktop environments.

Lockdown is different from a drill. It’s as of I said we never had fire drills, but the school burned down a couple times.

Thisthisthis. I have kids, I’m not at all worried about them getting shot, sure it’s “possible” but it’s just so improbable that it’s not something I even think about. But holy shit, the way people drive in my neighborhood, I’ll be a nervous wreck when my kids start walking or biking to the park by themselves…

I was in high school in the early 90s, we never had active ahooter drills, we just had the occasional lockdown due to gang wars…

Eh, it’s safer now than it was 30 years ago, your odds of actually running into anyone with a gun are extremely low.
