You're confusing Cate Blanchet with Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you don't use suspend mid game, what do you do? Do you shut the device down in between gaming sessions? Or do you just save and exit the game and suspend the OS level?

I don't understand how that's a problem. Can you go into a little bit more detail about what you think the consequences might be to manufacturers choosing to use Steam OS or some other Linux operating system on their handheld devices?

I know you're joking but it's absolutely possible to love books even when most may be unread. Umberto Eco sings the praises of the so-called "anti-library" here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/

I assume it's a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.

Why not? Ethical or moral values have about as much bearing on the scientific outcome as how attractive the researchers are.

In my 30s I was pretty sure I had come to terms with my eventual death. Then I contracted a serious virus that caused my body temperature to begin dropping rapidly. That combined with an intense nausea led to a direct and unmistakable confrontation with mortality. I was not ready and I was terrified. I experienced the visceral knowledge that I was on the precipice of losing everything I knew or cared about. I was, and remain, humbled by death. Because of that experience I tend to be skeptical when others say they are prepared for death.

Despite the common perception that religion seeks to answer mankind's questions about life and death, in reality, religion is the practice of engaging with the ineffable, with a mystery that has no solution. This is a fundamentally different function than that of political ideology.

Yes. It contains fiber and micro nutrients that gummy worms will not have. Skip the juice though. Drink water instead.

I went into it knowing nothing. That ending was viscerally shocking.

I remember when that flip clock widget was everywhere. You couldn't get away from it. I think those originated from HTC.
