    Is this good or bad for my house-buying efforts?

    I interpreted parent comment as "you're not in [Epic's] demographic, and probably didn't help [Epic] generate their F-You Money", as a reference to the money gathered from Fortnite…

    I don't think the issue is Psyonix being acquired, it's Epic's intentions to remove the game from Steam and potentially stop supporting new features on Steam that people are worrie…

    Do you have any sources for EGS specific features? I really don't want to speculate because I really want to root for Psyonix here, but this is what I'm afraid of. New maps and que…

    Myself and many others might argue the "unnecessary" bit... But I don't think there are a lot of better options for Wikipedia to ask for money.

    I couldn't either, but on the Wikipedia page[1] for Hayabusa-2, there is a gif of the flight path. Maybe it took 3.5 years to achieve proper alignment/speed to land on the asteroid…

    I second this. Uncle Sam isn't going to just overlook 4+ years of un-filed tax returns.

    I agree with you - My guess is jQuery is still around because some portion of the population that uses Bootstrap uses it for the functionality of the dropdowns, buttons, forms etc.…

    The problem is that replacing the helmets after each play or major impact would take time, and the clock doesn't always stop after a play during football. If we stopped the clock t…

    100% into the new job and 0% into the startup, or the other way around? Either way, why?

    Check out FreeSpace 2, it's got some incredible mods and runs on W10 at any resolution if I remember correctly.

    I have a Slackbot built with Node that I use every day, and I've been looking for a way to move it out of JS (for various reasons). Thanks for this!
