The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter
I think the thing everyone is forgetting is that valve isn't stupid, there's no way they didn't realize you could work around accepting the (legally unenforcable) NDA, and it's open invite.
Valve 100% knows that keeping it "secret" is good for hype and was expecting this to happen at any time, and the nominal ban was expected, but nobody is gonna get sued either.
More people are talking about Valve's "secret" new game because of this than would be if they openly announced it.

A quick Google search tells me that the term is outdated and no longer used, having been refuted by modern genetics research.

Zip+four is only down the the block level, you need 2 more digits (zip+6) to uniquely identify every possible address in the US. That said, a 9 digit barcode is way too close to a full address for most people to be comfortable with sharing online.

...is this retro?
Keep in mind the launch model of the 360 didn't have an HDMI port, most people still had a CRT, and it didn't even come with component cables, there was only a composite lead in the box, you had to pay extra for component cables if you wanted them.

It's a lot harder to make that argument in the context of the rest of the lyrics
Music is a lot like love, it's all a feeling And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling I see miracles all around me Stop and look around, it's all astounding Water, fire, air and dirt Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't talk to a scientist Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed Solar eclipse, and vicious weather Fifteen thousand Juggalos together And I love my mom for giving me this Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted
It's not anti-science, it's frustration at the world for being the complicated, messy place it is, and a longing to go back to the simple innocence of childhood where even basic physical processes are magical. It's not a rant that nobody should do science, it's his own disillusionment, and a plea for people to allow a little bit more wonder into their world.
It's a powerful lyric because even in a song about how magical the world is, it still slips in and ruins it, the pebble in your shoe that doesn't allow you to ever truly experience that pure feeling again, always gnawing at you in the background no matter what you do.

Reply in thread
Obligatory "Latine" is the preferred gender neutral term for spanish speakers because it actually follows the gendering rules of the language, rather than english speakers making shit up.

Minutefood did an entire video on it, with the conclusion that none of the hacks actually work. Some of the methods get closer than others, but it's going to take time whatever you do if you want a good result. https://youtu.be/V6R_xMzov0U

feels foolish that I never remember it
Always been a bit annoyed that people describe Morse as a binary code, it isn't, it's technically trinary, you have 3 symbols, dot, dash, and space. Without a space you can't discern the difference between "hi" and "eeeeee".

Americans reduce the Middle vowel to schwa in the adjective form but not the verb form, so you'll often see the adjective spelled with an e and the verb with an a.

Adventuring Gold
Reply in thread
If you wanted to be more accurate to actual gold and silver, the historical exchange rate is only 20:1 silver to gold, which is why there are 20 (silver) shillings in a (gold) pound piece.
