Progress towards what?

I prefer to use Main/Sub terminology. It also works without needing to change any acronyms.

You can get all the classic C&Cs on Steam and you can play a good chunk of them online using CNC online. I agree though, we need a new C&C Generals.

Do you know that he didn't take a gun safety course? For all we know, he could have had plenty of knowledge on how to safely handle a firearm and simply decided to ignore it for the sake of looking cool. The fact is that no amount of safety training can stop someone who decides to do something stupid.

I absolutely agree with your last point though. There should be extensive training in how to handle a firearm safely required before someone can buy a gun.

Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who's family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.

But it comes with your choice of meme.

So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that's the physical equivalent of this situation.

I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for... By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I'm using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for... At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.

I'd take the Mario game, the disc drive, and the air fryer. I'm ambivalent about the dvd, and the the Miku expo is on a different continent to me.

Well technically there's only one adult Man there... And one adult Elf, and an adult Dwarf.
