This whole thread is very pedantic but in chemistry when someone refers to chlorine, they are usually referring to Cl2. I think in IUPAC naming chloride is reserved for for ions. Like dichloromethane (IUPAC) and methylene chloride (also common name).

The person you replied to is not talking about cavalry. Horses were used by the Germans for moving men and equipment.

Right. I mean that it doesn't take place in the "universe" of Gran Turismo. Which is the criteria I think I would use to consider it a "video game movie".

Does the Gran Turismo movie count as a "video game" movie? I haven't watched it but I know the general plot and that Gran Turismo is essentially a driving sim with no storyline (most recent one I played was GT4).

I think of it like if there was a movie about an avid Flight Simulator player has to land a passenger jet after both pilots are incapacitated, I wouldn't consider it a video game movie. Maybe that's how they remake Airplane! though.

Most palms do not have thorns. This is the first time I have ever heard this claim. There is 2,600 known species.

But yes they are not shade trees.

Is this event about depth or length of time?

I'm usually sat together with my wife but a couple of times we have been separated by a row or two. We have always been able to switch seats with someone so it's not a huge deal for us but it's annoying. Especially when we buy are tickets at the time as one purchase and one of us gets sat next to someone flying alone or another person separated from their party... Those cases its obvious the airline separated you for no reason other than to punish you for not paying the fee.

This only became a problem because airlines started charging extra to pick your seats. That practice is what should be made illegal. Splitting up a group because they didn't want to pay your extortion fee is BS.

Good luck hitting your target. With the drone even if you miss you can fly it back to safety until there is a new target too. Neither is meant for this type of combat and this case was probably just luck and an opertune target. The drone probably wasn't launched specifically to take out the aircraft.

If the picture is accurate it would have to have crashed into it.

They could have had over 4x the effectiveness by simply offering 88 18-yearolds $1 million dollars each to enlist.
