No, if you have a center track you can just use that. Volume isn’t a problem for a computer listening to it since they don’t use the physical speakers.

You don’t think a sovereign country can have a state religion if everyone in the country is part of that religion and wants it that way?

It’s referencing the deep divisions between creeds even though they are very similar from the outside.

The whole point is just a way of not revering the prophet as a god or idol. Like Catholic saints are borderline in their focus on the religiosity of that person but the church chose to ignore it because it was popular and helped them spread their religion.

But the implication is that it only matters for people who are already Muslim. It doesn’t make a difference what outsiders do.

It’s time based. Buddhism also had a similar ban on iconic representation of the Buddha. That’s why some early art will just have footprints or things like that. Islam should allow iconic representation of their prophet within 300 years.

Social ostracization or ridicule is an appropriate response to bad statements, not violence

The recent ones were good. But they’re basically a visual novel with some combat, so they’re small scale.

It was honestly the design choice to make it procedural generation and then leaving the universe as a new game plus. That killed it completely.

As always, buying a used previous gen flagship is the best value.

You have to keep inflation in mind. 550 would be 450 2019 dollars.

Not really a countermeasure, but the scalping certainly proved that there is a lot of people willing to buy their stuff at high prices.

Not really, they certainly had secret executions but they were limited. And a lot of that was done by police or the militias. The army wasn’t just rolling around shooting people.

It’s stupid to send a mission there just to pick up samples. Just wait for the next rover or lander test mission and then send that to land closer to the samples and pluck them up on the way back. They’re not going anywhere.

The article is wrong. You don’t need high growth, any amount of growth more than 0 over a long time frame will inevitably see a civilization spread throughout the galaxy. If there was a civilization a hundred million years old in our galaxy it would be noticeable.

Sulfur cools the planet but not by shading, it’s more similar to how CO2 acts but in reverse.

That’s not really relevant. Fine particulate emissions from coal power plants, which are already mostly gone in the US but are still used around the world, don’t travel a really long distance.

That’s just used for curries

This is just fake propaganda.

A big oven doesn’t work with just a timer, because even if it turns off it will continue cooking. A small convection toaster oven or instapot can turn off and the heat evaporates quickly, so you can just leave it and it won’t burn.

It’s partially because of the previous term, it’s not the same as a random person about to be president for the first time.
