WD40 isn't a lubricant, it's for "Water Displacement." While as a liquid it can be used as one, it is a poor one. It's whole purpose is to cover a metal part with a hydrophobic layer. It's good at removing water from something like your sparkplugs. Maybe they thought water had gotten in and was causing issues with contact?

It's Spiderman...he has an established alignment. I don't know what you are on about.

You are probably right. Devices like these in the old days used to require you hook up an official controller to it to get past the drm. Likely will evolve back to that.

Search xbox mouse adapter on amazon. There are so many products that do what you describe people wouldn't care to do because they don't care.

Or barred because he literally posted a literal dick measuring picture to twitter. Or that he ran off Bootsy. Or that his drunken antics were always causing problems. He's a problematic guy even without considering the racist comic.

Too bad lots of people stay friends with shitty people, I won't fault James for that. It's hard to cut them off once they are already in your life.

At least they separated professionally for the most part(I think Mike has shown up in costume uncredited in two recent episodes, and James has joined a stream or two of Mike's when hanging out with him)

I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don't think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It's usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.

It would most likely be more like a "house" arrest inside an army base. He won't be seeing jail due to his status as an ex-president, but would still be confined.

It's where he did a short warp jump on the Stargazer so that a Ferengi ships sensors would see two Stargazers. They fired at the wrong "vessel" and the Stargazer fired as it left warp,winning the battle. This is the inuniverse definition.

Or it could be when Picard tugs down on his shirt when he stands up.

The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN.

Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

using VPN ... makes his income illegal

Yes, they fine wasn't a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn't use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he's in trouble isn't why he got punished is less honest.

If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as "Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network." Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.

Tsukiyaki Western Django has nothing to do with this movement, I think, but it is great seeing a western featuring an all Japanese cast doing lines in English and Quentin Tarantino doing lines in Japanese

It's just the Madagascar Plan all over again.
