€6,000 is, unfortunately, well into the territory of competing with used cars. It absolutely needs to be cheaper than that to gain mass adoption. I’m sure it can be since this looks like a high-end product aimed at a very specialist market just now, but right now that is a major obstacle.

This has literally nothing to do with women’s rights

this is exactly the point I’m making

You responded to criticism of the state of women’s rights under Taliban governance with criticism of America, you absolutely said something exactly that simplistic. If the post was saying that America and/or its allies should re-invade or otherwise try to overthrow the Taliban, sure, you might have a point, but it isn’t

You don’t have to think America is doing things right to think the Taliban are doing them wrong

The original being “This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan.” See, for example, this review from 1988

Is it a worse look than what Tyson did to any of his real opponents because of the history of male violence against women, or is there something else you’re getting at? And is whether or not it looks good what should be the driving force being decision making in sports?

Combat sports already have weight classes, it’s not like you’d be putting a man up against a woman he has 30 cm and 50 kg over. If you’ve got people of similar size and ability, it doesn’t seem to me like their sex or gender matters. They all went in there expecting to both hit and get hit.

It’s useless, yes, but your body didn’t evolve to account for pouring a bunch of heated water over yourself

could be a very odd addition to something like a racing sim.

Maybe not as odd as you think, since the methanol fuel used in many motorsports series actually does burn invisibly

I agree wholeheartedly, but I think you’ve misread the post

That’s when the tide isn’t going in or out, which is more likely to be closer to the high and low tides

The Cartographer’s Guild. Although I have never actually posted there. I just stop by when I’m trying to draw a better map for my D&D games

Board Game Geek is cool, and Metal Archives is useful when I want to check that an interesting black metal band is not, in fact, a pack of nazis

Each to their own! I really enjoyed V and have hundreds of hours in it, but I appreciated the changes in VI and felt like it vbecame a stronger game than V overall. I do have more hours in VI. I get that the art style was a little controversial, but I was never playing V for the visuals anyway

Districts were a thing in Civ 6, before Humankind came out

And they intentionally shake the gameplay up with each installment. I’m glad they do. Otherwise there’s little point in doing a new one

Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you by any means. I just thought it was kinda funny that they had the direction of the invasiveness of that particular animal backwards

For Civ 6, I’d say winning each victory once. Try to do it with different civs each time too. You can set your goal as winning a game on the highest difficulty if you want, but personally I don’t find that to be as interesting as the shift in gameplay necessary to win the different victories without just militarily crushing everyone else.

North American grey squirrels are an invasive species… in Europe. They seem to be able to outcompete the native red squirrels here

There’s a delightful little red squirrel sanctuary near me run by a couple who I would guess to be in the boomer generation. The wife fell ill and wound up almost permanently bedridden, so they moved to a house that would be easier for her and which also had some attached land they could use. The husband turned it into ideal squirrel territory and set up feeders by the window so that the squirrels would come visit his wife while she was stuck in bed

The thing is that language constantly changes and it often does so towards whatever the habitual usage of it is, “rules” be damned. We’re not bothering with a thou/you distinction in English any more, for example. If people abandon the countable/uncountable distinction then it’s no longer incorrect, for whatever version of “incorrect” is being applied here.
