I disagree there - peer review as a system isn't designed to catch fraud at all, it's designed to ensure that studies that get published meet a minimum standard for competence. Reviewers aren't asked to look for fake data, and in most cases aren't trained to spot it either.
Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question.
I actually usually feel the same way as you about most trick-taking games, so I usually avoid them.
I did play "Scout" with my group a couple months ago, and found it to be pretty good, so you could give that one a try.
Senate seats can't be altered much shifting the lines on the map because there's two per state, what you take from one you give to the other
Senate seats are ALWAYS state-wide elections, with no district lines to draw or gerrymander. Gerrymandering still arguably has an impact on senate elections, but it's a secondary factor of reducing turnout and not a primary factor of just picking the best districts.
Is Sicario an adaptation? I can't find any reference that it is.
Also, Prisoners is technically an adaptation of a short-story, but it's a not very well known short-story (I don't even see a name for the story on Wikipedia) from the writer of the screen play, so you could make an argument that the short story is essentially just a first draft of the script.
I do agree that we should just let him continue doing whatever he wants, he's done excellent work.
What is this garbage? If I own a house/gold/collectable/toilet paper during covid/... and the value goes up, am I supposed to pay taxes?
Yes, you are supposed to pay taxes on that (or on the house specifically). It's called property taxes.
If the value goes up, you pay more taxes the next year, if the value goes down you pay less.
I'm not sure the ownership situation of the company, but it is also independently in bankruptcy so I think that is being dealt with later
After a few years the orbit will degrade enough that it'll start to fall back to earth. At that point, the satellite will either burn up completely on re-entry, or partially and the rest will fall to earth.
Either way, each of these satellites will be completely gone from orbit after a few years.
Good luck! I actually did the math on how "lucky/unlucky" each team had been relative to the actual draft odds, and as I recall San Jose had been one of the least lucky so they are due! (Arizona/Utah had been even less lucky though)
Hi Will!
Now that you've tried out directing as well as acting, which side of the camera do you prefer?
Are there any things you've learned from the experience of directing that you think will help in future acting roles? Additionally, is there anything you would do differently about directing Kodar if you got to start over from scratch today?
I believe that is correct.
In the book, they also took pains to point out the steps he took to try to avoid it happening to the other airlocks after that point too - by actually balancing out their usage a bit more, instead of just always using the same one.
How long did you play BoI for if getting burned out on Hades after 40hrs was fairly quick?
Nonsense! Zoidberg's a fine physician. For Aliens. Your mistake is being human!
