Dinosaurs had tons of different sizes and niches. We didn’t extinct literally all megafauna, bears, elk, ostriches (literal dinosaur!) still exist and are so common that they’re often nuisances.

Ah yes, a reasonable and well-thought out reply to my comment.

I have no reason to believe that Israel even has the ability to hit a target that is anywhere near the US, so the US cannot be in the flight path of whatever target they hit with missiles. And who would they even want to hit where the US is on a potential flight path? Canada and Mexico?
Either way, if that’s our standard for “Israel bad because nuclear weapons”, every other nuclear power is an asshole to Israel, too, including the US.

Yeah sorry, I did not, in fact, recall correctly. Bill Clinton was definitely involved with Epstein, though.
What’s your answer to OP’s question then, if the “both parties are involved” explanation is supposedly fake? There’s a distinct lack of comments who offer an alternative explanation.
- Comment on If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader? 4 days ago:
You claimed specifically that Israel has nuclear weapons pointed at America, but when I asked you about it you only linked me an article that said that they have nuclear weapons. Considering how far away they are, “pointed at America” isn’t really plausible.
- Comment on If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader? 4 days ago:
So the point isn’t that Israel can actually hit targets in the US, but that they have nuclear weapons in general?

Weird how the same people who apparently cared a lot about Clinton’s adultery don’t seem to care at all about the adultery and worse of Trump.
And AFAIK his politics were pretty bad, too.
- Comment on If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader? 4 days ago:
they literally have nuclear arms pointed at America
First time I heard of that, what’s that about?

-
There were also democrat politicians implicated; IIRC Hilary Clinton divorced Bill after it became known that he was there.
-
Important party donors were probably involved (of both parties).
-
Epstein most likely had connections to the Israeli secret service and was definitely part of Israeli lobbying efforts. Both parties are heavily involved with Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC.

Your parents have much better taste in music than my grandparents or the oldie stations in my area.

What makes Death Metal different than Black Metal? They sound the same.
Nah. I’m not even a big metal fan and unless a band is blending the genres (“blackened death” etc.) they’re pretty distinct, the vocal style in particular should be pretty easy to tell apart. As a rule of thumb, Black Metal vocalists croak, Death Metal vocalists growl.
- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 5 days ago:
Trust me, I’m not talking about tracks that could reasonably be called “pop rock”. They were already playing pop rock all the time anyway.
- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 5 days ago:
Does it play on the rock station? Then it’s rock.
My local rock station started playing what is clearly pop music a couple of years ago. I think they still call themselves a rock station.
- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 5 days ago:
They tend to be distinct styles, similar to how bands within a genre can sound really different to each other. Now imagine that a couple of other bands says that one band’s style is the bee’s knees and starts doing similar music.
It does get a bit too opaque and subtle at times, but I still think it’s usually helpful. e.g. “increasing level of angriness and decreasing level of clarity” is a big deal, many people don’t like listening to the extremely aggressive/unclear stuff and thus might say something like “I don’t like death metal, but power metal is great”.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 6 days ago:
True, but for minimum requirements, I’d expect that they consider the case where most of the unnecessary processes are closed. Also, only 30 tabs? Rookie numbers!
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 6 days ago:
I’m not saying that it’s a particularly good idea, but on laptops it’s often what you have to work with. The 4GB stick is often soldered in, would you rather put in a 4GB stick to match it? I also personally experienced owning a PC with 3x2GB because the fourth one broke, though that was a long time ago.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 6 days ago:
It’s not that uncommon, especially on laptops (not sure if this game would run on any laptop, though). Also, you can get 4 sticks of 4GB RAM and have one with a flaw so you take it out. Granted, I don’t think anyone would buy 4x4GB RAM for a setup that might actually run this game.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 6 days ago:
16GB minimum is still insane IMO. I wonder if the game actually uses that much RAM, or if it’s just that they won’t put in values between 8 and 16.

The thing is, with public planning, zoning laws etc. you can make it possible. People generally move to where the jobs are, and that tends to be cities. It’s basically why Spain’s population is so concentrated in the cities, much more so than in other similarly-sized european countries. In the US, zoning laws were a huge part of how it became so car-reliant.

I do understand being rigorous about questions, and technical forums were even worse a lot of the time, but SO’s methods led to the site becoming severely outdated. They really should have introduced a mechanism to mark old content as outdated. It should have been obvious like 10 years ago that solutions often stop working come next major version or the programming language, framework or operating system.

last time this question was answered was for several years older software versions, and the old solutions don’t work anymore
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 2 weeks ago:
TBH asking questions on SO (and most similar platforms) fucking sucks, no surprise that users jump at the first opportunity at getting answers another way.

It wouldn’t really make sense to use different names than the current locals, though.
