For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other's lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of "you done fucked up" and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like "John PAUL". Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

I know ai image generators struggle with hands, but wow ... the one in the middle above the press is a spectacular example.

Do it then. Nobody else in the industry seems able to.

When it comes to space programs and launch costs/waste, SpaceX is at the bottom of the list. Nobody puts stuff in space cheaper than they do. And not by a small margin.

For comparison, the cost for SLS to launch into earth orbit is $4.1B. TO LAUNCH. Development costs for that program have exceeded $27B. They have been working on it since 2011. It has launched exactly one time over a year ago.

The entire contract to SpaceX to fully develop and launch a moon lander is less than the cost of launching a single SLS rocket.

I mean, as a writer for a show like this you'd have a never ending set of source material to draw on...

You see, only 39% of the population voted. 95% of the people who voted, voted for Putin. So if you extrapolate that out to the entire population, you get 37% + 95% = 132%. With math like that you can't lose!

What about infinity times zero?

I just watched that episode last night!

I can't be the only one disappointed by the lack of an order by clause after being told the list was being sorted (twice!)...

I hate everything they have done to it. Give me back the old notepad that doesn't close all of my other notepad windows when I close one, shows me the document I just tried to open instead of hiding it in a tab in some other already opened window, and didn't reopen 50 other goddamn documents when opening just one.

It is even worse than that. He wears his hair in a way that the it does not go below his eyebrows and ear lobes. But the school is mad that it could . It makes my blood boil.

I have had no problems using my Roku Ultra. I would check to make sure there isn't any transcoding occurring on playback before buying something else. If there is you might try troubleshooting that before buying a new device.
