You should also know that because of jail and various other teleports, the orange group is the most popular group on the board. It’s something like 1.8 times the average to land on those spaces, because two of them are 6 and 8 spaces from jail. Jail is a very popular space because Go To Jail also counts as Jail.
Boardwalk has very high rents, but it’s also pretty unpopular to land on.
The worst rent-to-popularity values are yellow and green.
So seems like Iran intends this to be a one and done response for everything Israel has done the last few months.
i.e. “Please don’t escalate this any further. We prefer this level of escalation and no more.”
It used to be that 640K oughta be enough for anyone.
Are these hippo sprint speeds, or real proper endurance speeds?
The Linux software you can get as a regular user from your typical Linux distributions is absolutely not any more secure on average than your typical Windows software.
I say this as someone who writes application programs on both systems.
I think it’s really debatable whether the Linux kernel is really any more secure than the Windows NT kernel. Linux advocates have pushed the “many eyes, shallow bugs” line for a long time, but high profile lapses seem to really have put the lie to that.
There’s a technique called “heel-toe” shifting which involves using different parts of the right foot to operate the brake and throttle at the same time, while the left foot works the clutch.
If wasn’t full garbage collection in the spec. It was some infrastructure support in the spec that would make it easier to write garbage collectors in C++.
122.75 is assigned for air-to-air communications.
In some ways that’s good: you don’t want someone shouting about “YOU’RE ON GUARD”. On the other hand, in this situation you want to choose a frequency that your target is actually monitoring, and guard may fit that bill better.
That kid looks ready to raise your health insurance deductible again and deny your claim for insulin.
I think I’ve seen at least one that has returned to Pizza Hut after leaving the folks for a while.
None of the current ICBM platforms were designed for missile defense. Missile defense simply did not exist at the time.
Sentinel is busting its budget because it’s renovating and rebuilding all of the ground segments: all of those decrepit silos and computer systems. It’s still money well spent in my opinion.
Missile guidance is not a computationally hard problem, and it hasn’t changed much since the 50s. Terminal missile defense is a fantastically hard problem, and wasn’t mastered until the last decade or two. And the current generation missile defense capabilities still haven’t all been demonstrated in combat.
Having said that, I would generally expect NATO’s missiles to work as advertised in a hot war. And I would plan for Russia’s missiles to be somewhat less effective than they advertise, but still a credible threat.
I’m just repeating what happened or what the plan was the last couple of go arounds, with Napoleon and Hitler.
Napoleon did occupy Moscow, but it didn’t help him very much.
Hitler was turned back just short of Moscow, but the Russian government had all sorts of continuity plans that involved moving further east. Entire factories were uprooted and shipped into the Urals.
Even with nuclear annihilation, NATO could still get to Moscow in a three day operation. It’s just a question of which cities back home are still standing.
Moscow is not the big prize you might think it is. Russia can just retreat hundreds of kilometers further east and carry on.
NATO can do the thunder run, but they are not equipped to win a massive land war in Asia. You really gotta listen to the Sicilian from Princess Bride on this one.
That’s cleanliness you can see.
Instead the story is that the source engine was located in the “Src” directory in their Visual Source Safe. And the Half Life 1 engine was in a separate branch named GoldSrc because it was about to ship real soon, and they needed to keep changes to a minimum.
“gradient descent” is a jargon word for one kind of training method.
Any type of parole has to be at least marginally less dangerous for the hostage than execution.
Most games I’ve seen, nobody ever horse trades for color groups.
Complex deals and negotiations, land swaps, leveraged buyouts, and free rent passes, are all supposed to be part of the game. Getting a color group solely by landing on the spaces first and buying them for list price is indeed rare, by design.
This leads to my other pet peeve… You’re not supposed to have enough money to go around the board the first time and buy every space you land on at the list price. You’re supposed to be forced to make strategic decisions from the beginning of the game about what you go for, and what you bid in the auctions.
Most of the made up “house rules” are really about circulating more money into the game than is supposed to be there.
