He had a "yearly" physical 6 almost exactly 6 months after his previous one.

He's got those constant weird bruises on his hands.

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest something is up, even if we can't say what exactly it is.

When it happens, you will probably know it has before anyone actually tells you.

I always got a weird vibe from that Tennessee Holler account.

The fools at the academy laughed when I said I'd cross citrus and brassica, but who's laughing now as my calilemons and brocclimes destroy the city?

I did go back & rewatch the Famicom video after, and in it you complain about the hitboxes in that one as well.

Makes me wonder if they just weren't certain how to handle it on the home ports.

Some tiny account being a dick in your replies? Get into it with them there if you want but unless it's really egregious you shouldn't QT.

Likewise, a tiny account screenshots you? Just let it go.

They QT you? Weapons hot & you may fire at will.

Anyway, do you think that if you opened Beatty's home closet you'd find the Tracy outfit just hanging in it like it's no big deal?

This is, I believe, the previous one.

The fun thing with Dick Tracy is that Beatty still owns the rights to the property & still insists he's going to make a sequel.

And as part of his requirement to keep the rights, he makes little 30 minute cheapo things every 10 years or so where appears, in character, as Tracy.

Andy Ngo ranting about animal costumes just makes him look (even more) like a clown, and yet he can't even realize that.

Almost every former Ottoman territory claims some variation of a chopped salad using cucumbers & tomatoes as their own, despite tomatoes likely not reaching the region until the 19th century.

And I find that fascinating.

a great thing about using open-source software is when you want to use it in a way that seems obvious but is not documented and when you look into it not only is it impossible but the developer hates your specific use-case and built the entire application around not supporting it

There's this talking point that there is no such thing as Israeli cuisine & it's all stolen from other Levantine cultures. (Posters learn who Mizrahim are challenge. Difficulty: impossible)

This a reference to that claim, modified to be facially ridiculous.

Did they have a choice in doing the work? Not really. But as long as they didn't try to leave they were well treated.

And, contra to the poster who thinks the Soviets executed them later, about the only time that happened with a high profile figure was Geib — as punishment for attempting to defect.

They also paid the German specialists more than their Soviet equivalents and, if they were working on the atomic program, generally gave them a bunch of awards after like personal dachas & medals up to & including the Stalin Prize.
