The full Sopranos ending has finally been revealed!

Far too much does this now and it's a short term win, long term loss.

Die hard fans of the material maybe enjoy it for a bit but then get sick of it. New people won't get into it as huge chunks of it are meaningless to them.

My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I've no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

We'll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That's generally what's happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

The balance of this doesn't surprise me. The shift between book and film is quite heavily based on gender.

The books were certainly much more male character based and the films evened it up a bit more. Although obviously still not even.

My memory of Doom 3 is being impressed at first but then that being ground away by repetition.

The first time I saw some of the texture details and tech (was that bump mapping? I can't remember) I was wowed. However then it all looked like that. All the time.

Then there was the jump scares. First was great, then diminishing returns till it gets to the point where a combo of the lighting and room layout let's you know exactly when they are going to happen.

Ah the good old nuanced British use of Cunt

What are you doing ya daft cunt?

Could mean help is on the way from an old friend or you're about to lose consciousness.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember this is one of the reasons why the baskets have a net.

You're not allowed to do that but if the net wasn't there then in pre-video games the refs might not be able to spot if the ball went up through the hoop.

Think they were also to stop players reaching up through the hoop to defend as well.

So you know brioche buns should be ever so slightly sticky, but a sweet sticky, right?

Not to ruin your favourite burger place but maybe you should just buy some buns from a bakers and then see what they're like fresh.

At the moment there are two options. You can't quite tell the difference between brioche sticky and greasy sticky or your burger place manages to get grease all over your buns.

How good are they overall? Do you want to know the answer?

Edit: Damn it came to me just too late. At the moment you're stuck in Heisenberg's buns. Do you want to resolve that?

Only if they didn't report such a message/activity and fully cooperate.

My understanding is that if you are party to things like this and don't take the required action then you are liable to this wider definition of making.

So you are essentially complicit in the making of them because you didn't try and stop/report it in a timely manner.

Happens with loads of other stuff like murders, terror, theft etc... Basically if you know about serious crimes and don't take any action. Then you can be found guilty of a very similar offence as the people who committed the exact offence.

Did you read the recall? Again it says hood latch switch deformation.

That may be part of the hood latch assembly but again at no point does it say that the latch not latching is the issue. Only the reporting of the latching state.

You're really rather pathetic and I'm certainly no fan of Tesla or Musk. A brief check of my previous posts would confirm this.

As you're obviously not very good at reading or understanding things then that fact probably did slip by you. You seem to be only capable of latching (you might not see what I did there being a bit dense) onto certain words without understanding the full issue.

Nope it's the latch switch. So something that is switched when the latch is closed. Not the latch itself.
