The event they're hosting is a free watch party for the movie. You didn't exactly crack the case.

And what about blind people?

>For some reason shrimp which are essentially bugs are no problem because (I think) they come from the ocean, so there's an obvious mental line that can dissassociate them from other bugs.

Generally, we eat the innards, not the exoskeleton.

Rice does certainly work as a mild desiccant. Admittedly it is not a terribly effective desiccant, but it still has those properties.

Former ActionScript developer here. Can confirm, it was actually pretty great. It's a hell of a lot more of a cleaner language than Javascript, for instance.

Don't forget that most game UIs are still built in ActionScript, and they're just fine.

It's a bit misleading of a conclusion to make, because most of those changes likely aren't non-compatible changes.

For instance, maybe a chip goes out of manufacturing, and they can no longer get it supplied, but a successor product from the same supplier meets all the same requirements.

Perhaps a bracket goes out of manufacture, but an almost identical bracket is sourced from a different supplier.

This would qualify as a hardware modification, but is a non-breaking change.

We have a format for something like that — WebP. As a bonus, it's less processor-intensive, which makes it suited for things like tiling backgrounds, or embedding many of them on a page — a huge problem for MP4s that anyone who's enabled the on their services has no doubt already discovered.
