That is one legendary exception in a sea of janky "Deluxe" titles

> We didn't wait 20 years for this.

Yes we did. MI1 and 2 was great because they were pushing the technological limitations, trying to be the best puzzle games they could, and were made by a great, talented, and enthusiastic team. Not because it was catering to entitled fans with rose tinted glasses.

You're probably better off just throwing a pebble or two at random spots in your shoe. Random height/angles are most likely going to fuck with your joints and just make it too hard to move efficiently, while a pebble or two will be annoying but tolerable and should be enough to change your gait up.

The pilot failed to successfully evade an incoming missile?

> in the event a key was extracted it creates a race condition at the period of claim not during the lifetime of its use - still providing some utility.

So say the key was extracted, you would not be aware until the "maturity" or whatever time you can claim the real value?

How would one then know and trust that the note I'm holding on to won't be claimed by someone else at the period of claim? As far as I see it my best option would be to try and offload any Kong in my possession as soon as possible for real goods or other currency.

Depends on what laws you're considering. So not knowing exactly which country the server was located in or the country the police that enacted the DDoS are from it is hard to say if it's legal or not.

Potato cannons, not really rocket launchers. Rocket implies it being a self propelling object, so more of a missile-launcher/cannon.

It may even be considered in closer relation to a mortar than rocket launcher.

Weapons do go missing all the time. Or at least weapons with the same serial/registration numbers of destroyed weapons show up all the time, be it at crime scenes, terrorist orgs, or weapons collectors.

If someone have lifted your pin/password, they can very much unlock your phone while you are unconscious.

IMO a combination of bio-metric and pin/password/phrase would be a good solution.

I would assume that they prefer to use "clean" ground water as opposed to sewage or seawater to minimize the buildup of waste or salt during the evaporation.

One would imagine the extra maintenance required would be very costly.

It's a sad situation with HK and we should not accept it.

But I can't help but feel that a sports competition may not be the right place for political activism. Especially seeing as the rules states it won't be accepted.

If Blizzard did not suspend him they would jeopardize all of their rules, and I hope they would have done the same if he was shouting something pro-China.

From what I read the casters prompted and encouraged him to say it, hence why they were so quick to drop down out of frame. This is just what I have read, as I do not speak the language.

My guess would be that bulletproof hosts are safe enough for long enough that it's both money and time wise better/easier to deal with than p2p.

Almost.

A house can be liquidated and potential profit realized rather quickly. Education, not so much. You can insure yourself (and should, if you could lose your work by getting in an accident), so that you get a set amount paid out each month in case you end up in a wheelchair or similar state that would keep you from working.

How is this an ad for a competitor to Tik Tok?

And which competitor? I figured it was an ad for flip, which is (as far as I can tell) a leasing service.
