Did it promote skepticism and science though? It showed them being applied, sure. In the end though, the show was always on Mulder's side of the "truth". Of course it also kind of said "Scully's work is important" but it was always assumed that her view of any situation would ultimately be the wrong one. Her science-oriented methods break down when it comes to (in the broadest sense) "supernatural" phenomena - because they are, by definition even, outside science.

We don't have nearly enough shows that promote healthy skepticism and the scientific method though.

It is revealed in passing that Scully used to go by Velma Dinkley.

Those two (2) devs sure churn out a LOT of games in VERY short timespans.

I've certainly never had to wait long enough to be worth turning the water on before I get in (or even before undressing). Some English terms for what's the standard here are apparently "flow heater", "instant water heater", "tankless water heater" and similar.

Fellow German here, slice of cheese on bread is the go-to. Microwaved, if I'm feeling spicy.

Possibly. No. Maybe. Yes. I can't control what my brain retains (except in rare circumstances) and consequently it's filled with a lot of useless bullshit that nobody cares about, bits and pieces of everything I ever read.

Had a phase where I read a bunch of Wiki articles about Marvel comics. This caused a few awkward moments where I'd throw in a random comment in a conversation I was overhearing but then wasn't able to follow it up with anything substantial with my comic book expert interlocutors who'd actually read what they were talking about.

I learnt that USians have to do this from movies (because you guys have weird plumbing, I think?). Does this person not watch movies?

I'm so confused.

What are you quoting? The article linked is from July last year and doesn't include your quoted paragraphs.

agreements reached in mid-last year between the new administration of U.S. President Trump and Chancellor Merz.

Huh? They agreed to this months before the US election?
