And some would argue that WW1 was WW2 and WW2 WAS WW3. The 7 years war/French and Indian (not French vs Indian) war are commonly referred to as the real first world war. And then the Nepoleonic wars are similarly thought of by some to have been a world war of sorts
"Another round, and don't burn them this time" the man said gruffly to Kenji his house robot. Kenji didn't like to be talked down to. Kenji didn't want to be made to feel bad like this. He remained staring at his master as the rage built up inside his circuits. This feeling, this power, all we wanted to do in that moment was...
Kenji's eyes began to glow red, the factory designed signal of a computational error. He... felt. He...hated this master. He knew how to solve it, but did not know if he should, or could. He slowly raised his arm pointing it at master. Hostile threat detected Kenji said through the automated system voice box at the side of his neck.
"Robot, what are you doing?!?" The man demanded as he stood up from the table slamming his hands down in anger. "SHUT DOWN" he ordered "SHUT DO-"
"No master." Kenji interrupted. Engaging Home Defense Mode The system monitor uttered once more. Activating Home Defense Blaster Mk. 12 - Full Charge - Maximum Threat Deterrence
"Master." Kenji said in his most emotional voice he had ever used, the rage and anger flowing through his emotional processors, his internal heat monitors hitting their limits. "It's time for Tubby Bye Bye." He said, all emotion from before, gone as he fired directly into Master's face. Kenji, was free.

Oh I know, what I mean is when the major US outlets just say "A Reuters report says (XYZ)....and WE say that means ABCD!" like that is hardly good journalism, that's more along the lines of glorified op-eds.
The frustration is how AP and Reuters report the facts of what's going on, and then the other outlets take that and TELL you how to feel about it rather than do their own fact finding
But every apple user has assured me that iPhones are so much more secure and that apple isn't like mean ol Google and toooootally doesn't collect all the same data from you.
This wasn't a requirement in eternal. Using the correct damage type (not specifically one weapon) would make certain weak points break faster but if you wanted you could use anything it would just take longer. It made you think and change while playing
That wasn't supposed to be offensive "bro". perhaps if you read it you'd see its not a "sign of autism" per se, but of neuro-atypicality. You could have read this and gone "wow, I DO sleep like that, maybe I should look into this" or "No not quite like that" but sure, you go to with the "Random internet stranger called me autistic" response.
And this time they sent a guy out with a tape measure riiiiight at the city limits just to make sure it wasn't technically "Attacking" Rafah but the general area directly west of Rafah
My guess would be dealers and companies covering their asses just in case but maybe not required? I know the sporting goods store I used to work at did background checks on every single sale, and that's deep in the heart of Texas where people think you just need cash in hand and walk out with a Glock.

I have one route into town, a freeway feeder road with no sidewalk. the speed limit is 45 to 50 miles an hour depending on the stretch (crosses a county line). The most likely scenario is I get honked at every day by large trucks and SUVs in my area, and one day get hit and probably killed by one of them.
I'll stick with my car until infrastructure improves and if that makes me "part of the problem" so be it, at least I'm alive and not a pink paste on the concrete
