I love how this looks like it was taken out of context, but he really was making a joke about Trump's obsession with crowd size while making that gesture.

I don't keep up with warlock seniority in New York and I don't know who Magnus Bane is, but I read in another comment that John Ramirez is now a former warlock who says he died, went to hell, repented, and was sent back to life to preach against Satan. I'm not ready to take the guy's word about all that, but it's clear he no longer is taking up the top warlock spot, assuming he ever did, so there's currently no conflict with Mr. Bane holding that title.

Sure, anyone can look around and see anecdotal evidence that Astrology is nonsense, but it's nice to have a large statistical data set cleanly proving it.

Classic Italian mistake.

Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we're familiar with.

Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There's a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife's grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you're not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it's very jarring.

If you're on the default web interface, you have to go to the community want to block. The block button is in the sidebar. Many of the apps or alternate web interfaces have the ability to block a community from a menu on each post.

  • Shooting two guns at the same time looks cool.
  • Aiming at two targets at the same time is hardly possible.

These are not in any way mutually exclusive and in fact are both true.

So, the test administered by the IBA was "We can't tell you, it's proprietary" and the results of the test were "Trust me bro, she failed," and now this supposed test result is being used by people to jump to conclusions about her appearance and to try and drag her down just to make a rallying point in arguments about sex and gender in sports. Sorry if people blatantly ignoring how flimsy their evidence is so they can make a point by accusing some athlete of being really a male led me to make my own uncouth assumptions about the personality of someone who would hold such a view.

Unironically, yes, that is a decent summary of the situation. I mean your last bullet wasn't in the article and is somewhat subjective, but...

They're only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.

8 year old me would have envied this collection. 40 year old me just appreciates that he has a passion for which he still has a child-like sense of wonder.

They'd be seriously shooting themselves in the foot if they did that. Most corporations have 3rd party software that they would not be able or willing to give up, software development for Windows would be unable to test and debug, and I know from personal experience that many consumers find the already existing S Mode to be frustrating and confusing.
