So is gaming at the extremely high level. A best of 5 or 7 in SC2 is 45 minutes to an hour and a half of focus with multiple periods of extreme focus and reaction. In both cases actions are happening faster than average humans can observe.

There’s a lot of grey area in that distinction though. There’s a handful of Olympic sports that showcase fine motor control in ways that aren’t that different from esports. Fencing and shooting are in the same realm as an RTS or FPS.

That’s not a sign that just gets put up. That’s a response to a problem.

Ads are extremely effective in aggregate though it’s difficult to impossible to assign value to any individual ad. Targeted ads are popular because they are more directly attributable to purchases, but it’s also likely that other ads led you towards that decision as well.

Counterpoint, fire was historically used to drive away predators and is commonly depicted in movies as well. A random townsfolk may not know all the particulars, but put fire between the bad thing and yourself is a reasonable strategy for most monsters. It becomes a metagaming problem if it’s only done against monsters that don’t resist fire.

Yes you can be a good president without being a good person. I wouldn’t call Clinton a good person, but he was a good president. LBJ would also be a good candidate for bad person l, but good president.

This one really depends on what you did and why. FDR generally gets a pass on Japanese concentration camps, Lincoln also subverted the constitution in some ways. Eisenhower using nationalized troops to integrate southern schools was an abuse of power, but the result was deemed worth it.

There were a small handful of good Nazis, but that’s not really the issue at hand. Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.

Passing a driving test in the US is usually one of the first accomplishments of becoming an adult, which makes it notable, but not necessarily big.

The rate depends on debit card use.

My debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.

This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.

Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.

There’s also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn’t process it.

Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it

Yes I’d rather have a self defined standard that accurately covers the scope of an application and it’s use cases than stretch an old standard design for basic hierarchical text docs to work for a modern application.

The people that decide which rules are important or not when designing a “REST” api are generally insufferable as well.

These are basically ancient, but if you want to feel like crap.

I’d rather see this than actual rest or the more popular use the bits of rest that are convenient.

The grand unified file.

It’s because they were. The system they used to generate weapons in 2 allowed for tons of unique but mostly garbage guns. This also combined with different drop mechanics so a random bandit didn’t have a chance to drop something amazing, you had to wade through trash to find the gimmick enemies and bosses that actually dropped good loot.

2 had better classes, but 1 was overall better.

Those bills were part of the problem, they front loaded a ton of spending with the hope of massive returns in a decade. Now that Trump killed any chance of success it really sucks.
