Yes, but what would be that type of blue cheese made somewhere else be called?

"Parmesan" and "Gorgonzola" aren't actually types of cheese. They're Portected Designations of Origin - essentially meaningless trademarks, except for place of origin rather than manufacturer (so even more irrelevant than a real trademark). The infuriating thing is that I couldn't tell you what...

I wonder, would a pizza qualify as an open-faced sandwich, and if so would two pizzas stacked on top of each other qualify as a club sandwich

isn't "democratic republic" usually a euphemism for a dictatorship anyway? Like "democratic republic" or "democratic people's republic" in a country's name is usually a red flag. The lady doth protest too much

So basically BOB Dobbs EDIT: Strike that. BOB Dobbs would be fated + transcendent order (+chaositects). I didn't notice that Gradine was talking about the Ring-Givers and not the Ciphers

I agree. I would be more inclined to buy from a company whose response was the opposite: that they'll no longer be doing business in America. And I'm from America. I could see myself going on a trip abroad and while there purchasing from companies that are boycotting the American market, but I...

They hide their sleaze behind walls of text written in a deliberately impenetrable pseudolanguage. Wouldn't a ruling in effect mean that this particular bit of sleaze is not allowed, even if it's in the contract? Although ultimately the ruling that's really needed is one saying that all these...

Here's an entire category of games I'd like to see: Classic first-person shooters but with procedurally generated levels*1, thus making them effectively endless. And the same thing for other gaming categories, but I think first-person shooters would be where this would really shine *(but NO...

On a tangentially related note, I wonder how plausible it would be to use an LLM to generate all of Friend Computer's non-pre-scripted dialog in a game of Paranoia
