Can you provide some source for this claim? I tried googling for the guys' names, and while a lot of stuff in the context of net neutrality comes up, I didn't see anything specifically about this particular thing.

The reason why they do it is because US citizenship is much more beneficial than their original one.

For someone who is already a citizen of a developed, stable Western European country, it's not anywhere near as one-sided as that.

Did you miss the part where they do not intend to move to US?

For Chinese, the equation is different, because their original citizenship doesn't really confer as many benefits.

But for someone in a Western European country, it's a very valid question to ask.

Nobody has observed high-energy ultraviolet photons naturally? Have you ever looked at the sun?

Chinese push it to the extreme though (disclaimer, my wife is chinese, and her family fit exactly the description above, and they freely admit it...my wife was born here and was kind of a rebel, thus why she broke the line and ended up with a white guy).

The length they'll go to avoid all "foreigners", even when they're in the middle of big cities, big schools, etc...All big companies have a "Chinese" mailing list that a ton of them subscribe to, eat together, go out together, only deal with doctors/contractors/etc who are chinese, etc. Its crazy.

Incest is any kind of sexual activity with a close relative. What you describe is only a problem if such activity results in offspring. We've had contraception for a long time now, not to mention that not all sex is even potentially procreative in the first place.

The user's home directory (in Windows, that's %HOMEPATH%) is C:\Users\<username>. Documents is merely one of the subdirectories of that.

I don't know about Canadians and Americans in general, but it's certainly true about border agents. I'm not saying that everybody in CBP is an asshole, but based on mine (several times per year for three years) history of travel back and forth between two countries, the chances of running into an asshole were way higher when travelling south.

Banning weed did, though.

You mean, except for the fact that we observe each of them occurring separately, and are not aware of any reason why having one occur would exclude the other? From those premises alone it follows that it is a statistic certainty that they will all occur at the same time eventually.

To remind, alcohol was actually illegal for a while. Then it was legalized again, because the society understood that banning it leads to a worse result overall.

Why does the state even need to be in the business of telling sane adults what they can and cannot put into their own body?

Why does it matter? Alcohol and nicotin are both still way more harmful than weed, but we don't ban them outright.

That's a part of "space-like conditions".

That part is to guarantee success and have a thorough measurement of the process. For the natural process, it is reasonable to assume that it took many hundreds of millions of years before some place (and maybe more than one, over those years) happened to have all those conditions in it at the same time. The point here is that all the things that they've done and all the input materials are the kind that occur naturally. From there it's all statistics.

But other than that, wonderful. New Order was a fantastic game. Such a strong showing for a first game from a studio. It isn't often you can have a game that is good, silly fun where you do crazy shit like dual wield assault rifles, and yet still have a solid story that makes you care. Good mechanics, good levels, good story, good visuals, good setting, just well done all around.

Only thing I would ding it on is the engine choice. iD Tech 5 just isn't very good compared to Unreal Engine, Cryengine or Frostbite. Even on my system with a XP941 SSD I can get some texture pop-in when I move the camera fast and while the visuals are good from a distance, they break down close up. I understand the choice, Bethesda owns the engine so it makes sense to use it, but I can't help but think it would look more impressive in a better engine.
