  2. It depends on the type of science. Science just means “the study of” There are sciences of objective measurements and reproducible experiments. There are sciences lacking experimentation and are purely of observation and speculative theories to explain the observations such as evolution. Religious studies can even be classified as “sciences” when you take into account the formalized methodologies used for contributing to the subject. One thing I take issue with is the sciences of observation being given the same level of credibility as reproducible experiments. Maybe I am biased as I am an engineer but I feel that I can objectively believe in physical sciences with objective measurements that can be reproduced by experiments. Other things like people taking guesses to explain things like how the universe was created billions of years ago or by guessing how the continents drifted from Pangea to their current arrangement, or by looking at fossils and guessing how life evolved from single cells into progressively more complicated life forms... ok I am not against it if that’s what really happened, but can someone actually “prove it” to me. At best some sciences can only give us some circumstantial or analogical evidence, but it still requires that leap of faith if you want to believe in it. In that way, some sciences are kind of similar to religion.
  3. You can control the dog as player 1, so maybe you remembered doing that. If you were playing Secret of Mana around the same time you may have gotten things mixed up. Both very similar types of games
  4. When you say first two do you mean first two Godzilla’s or first two Kongs?
  5. Anyone watched it or planning to watch it?
  6. You’re right, it doesn’t feel the same. But if you’ve already accepted that your not gonna dish out more than $200 for a heavy hitter, then that’s as close of a feeling to the same as you’ll ever experience. I can respect original licensed only collecting. If I had the money, that’s the way I’d do it. But I’m weak
  7. Someone should set up an unofficial server
  8. It has pluses and minuses. Pluses are that you can travel to both countries of citizenship and avoid the entry visa process. There’s no limitations on how long you can stay. You can buy property (some countries only sell real estate to citizens). You have another place you can go in case social/economic/ political condition start to become unbearable in your country of residence. Minuses - some countries make their own citizens pay an exit tax when they leave the country. Some countries (US) tax their citizens on all income regardless of where it was earned. Being an alien traveler in a country, if you are charged with a crime, you can contact your countries state department or consulate office and have your country appeal to the foreign government on your behalf (this could also work against you if there is political tension between your country and the one you are visiting). However if you are a dual citizen, then the country you are charged with a crime in will treat you as one of their own, no help from your country of second citizenship. All of this stuff will rarely matter. Mostly what matters is freedom of travel without visa restrictions (for example right now with covid many countries are only receiving arrivals of their own citizens) and the ability to own property.
  9. Isn’t it that way in Hong Kong (former UK colony). Not for visiting, but for residency
  10. Hi all, My company will buy me a Bluetooth headset for calls. We do a lot of Microsoft teams meetings on pc. The headset should be less than $100. I prefer over the ear rather than the things that go inside the ear. Although I don’t like the giant pads that wrap all the way around you ear. The medium size pads that rest over the ear are nice. Does anyone have any recommendations?
  11. Just to clarify, that’s not gonna format my whole pc is, right?
  12. Yea I was thinking with less accessibility to vita downloads, it will just increase demand for physical vita that much more
  13. It’s one of the finest in my opinion
  14. Astro Mini controllers were sold out within 2 minutes
  15. 8. Some parts of the game are epic, like the Technodrome battle, the giant Mouser, the rooftop section
  16. One time I was trying to play my physical version of Zelda: BOTW on Switch while I was away from home. On the particular firmware revision I had at that time, it would not allow me to play without downloading an update. There was no option to continue playing without installing updates. Since I had no internet connection, I could not play. Nintendo Switch is not immune. I hope they never release another firmware revision that prevents you from playing
  17. I agree multi factor is great. Except when my phone battery dies and I can’t find where my wife put the charger
  18. As a power user of Microsoft Office I can’t agree. There are so many things that don’t convert properly from Microsoft formats into the open doc formats. Also functionality in Google docs is just not there, it’s a very lite version of the application. Open office has much more features than Google docs, but the layout is much less intuitive than Microsoft. The only thing I have against Microsoft is their latest versions of the products (the 365 versions) are always connected online and cloud based - they run slow. If there’s any way you can get the older versions that are not always pinging data back to Microsoft servers, that would be the way to go
