It's a Really Bad Idea to Tell Students Words Are Violence A claim increasingly heard on campus will make them more anxious and more willing to justify physical harm.

More good parts, I would say?
For example, once I bought a book from some hare krishna and that helped me raise my consciousness (and, surprisingly, improve my golf skills).
But on the other hand, I'm not so proud of having stolen a precious statue from a nice lady's mansion.
Actually, I AM proud.

Absolute legend!
As crazy as it sounds, your games are part of who I am.

I wonder if it was inspired by Space Harrier or perhaps they use a similar engine underneath.

Great view! and Gracie is so cute!
Here's a view from a place I visited a few times.

Saw them live last year and they still sound awesome. What a great band.

Take a chill pill from the social media toxicity and enjoy this beautiful elephant listening to live classical music.

Short answer: No
Long answer:
If those parts are microservices (MS), I'd make sure that the system level tests are not exhaustive.
Within a MS, I'd make sure that my integration tests are not based on behavior (I'd rather unit-test behavior).
My behavioral tests shall not repeat.

Hope it made sense

When it's organized and easily accessible for every relevant person that might need it.

These guys are nuts. That's an insane port!

My classic one was Bernard and Syd (or was it "Sid"?). On occasions I would pick Razor over Syd.

He is completely detached from reality. He lives in his own world.

are those anti-gravity shoes?

That's a crazy coincidence. Just yesterday I reconfigured my retro console after almost a year and Wind Jammers was one of the first games I tried.

Looks great.

Been using mp3 players for many years. I only caved in a few months ago, because I was tired of losing scrobbles. For old nostalgic farts like me, I need my stuff to be scrobbled on Last.Fm.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!! Breathtaking!

So, if she had married someone from the same "race", adopting his last name would have been ok there?
So these people are complaining that she married an Asian guy?

That's super sad, but I don't get why there needs to be an explanation. Don't women take their husbands names most of the time in the US? In many countries that is so common. Why the big fuzz?

Yes. I was coming from a Commodore C64 BASIC, so it was quite a jump to QuickBasic. I was pretty lost in trying to understand that code.

I'm not so sure. That's what they say, but I'm pretty sure anti-trans cis women would lose it if they see the guy in the right in their locker rooms. I think either way they would complain. Don't you think?

The game didn't have an ending but after some particular level it started repeating.
I believe that I reached this point only because I was using an "infinite" lives glitch.

What a beautiful game. I loved the aesthetics of the screens.

One of my favorite games in Colecovision. Pure fun.

#phototip. Saturation. Most of us abuse it. It’s ok. Just grow out of it sooner rather than later 😂. But when you learn the “just right” amount, you (and your fans) will be much happier. We all do it. It’s ok.

This is the way it was that day. Crazy huh? Light matters.
