- Comment on Sometimes, the Annals of Joseon record Ming stories that even the Ming Annals don’t mention. 15 hours ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritable_Records_of_the_Joseon_Dynasty
An oft-cited story in the sillok about King Taejong falling off his horse has been used to illustrate the commitment of Joseon court historians to documenting even events displeasing or embarrassing to the king and the extent to which the king could not influence which stories were included in the sillok:[13][14]
親御弓矢, 馳馬射獐, 因馬仆而墜, 不傷。顧左右曰: “勿令史官知之。"[b]
Translation:
The king himself rode a horse and shot arrows at a deer. However, the horse stumbled, causing him to fall off, but he was not injured. Looking around, he said, “Do not let the historians know about this.”
— The Veritable Records of Taejong, Vol. 7, article 4
The historian present defied King Taejong’s order and ensured that not only the king’s fall but also his wish to keep it off the record were documented.[13] This happened in the 4th year of Taejong’s reign, on the 8th day, 2nd month of the lunar calendar, equivalent to March 18, 1404, of the Julian calendar.

Same is true for Handel, he wouldn’t look out of place down the pub watching football. That powdered wig does a lot of heavy lifting making him look contemporary to his era and class.

If they could make a better Windows, they would.

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realise the starring role of the TOS series , Captain Kirk was played by Jeffrey Hunter. How many episodes was he in?

Yeah, it’s shatner so you expect him to be crass, and you forget he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay’s actor)
- Comment on Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year 6 months ago:
OK, but the Saudis bought EA to gameswash their horrendous political image, not to tarnish it further and throw their money away.

Microsoft are looking to exit the console space, and trying to latch onto other hardware systems.
There’s no motive for anyone to sue valve over this.
They might as well sue fucking dell.EA, Ubisoft , Rockstar all tried their own distrobution platforms and people only use them when they’re forced, like Epic store for fortnite.
All this shit is is a mini PC running linux. You could have set up your own “steam machine” for fucking ever, maybe without valve OS, but something similar.The only ones that might be getting mad at it is facebook, because the frame might compete with oculus whatever.

Instead of working and competing, they will sue until there’s no tomorrow.
why? Valve obviously have more money than them. EA and etc have shitloads of cash. Do they have “majority of PC game sales” cash? No. They have “generic sports game annual release” cash. while that is a lot, it’s not the same ballpark.
