Before WWII, the language of science was German. Scientific papers were published in German. International conferences happened in German. After the Nazis gutted research and exiled scientists fled to the USA, that language became English.

Here's some fun things to think about: Aaron Sorkin based two entire shows on Keith Olbermann's life. Sokin also wrote most of the West Wing while tripping balls on mushrooms and geeked out of his tits on blow.

Happy 24th Birthday, Game Cube! Making its way outside Japan to the USA in November 2001!
Let's celebrate with some GCN eye-candy: very high resolution and quality from a press disc.
What games would you recommend to someone wanting to get into its library, peeps? What are your faves?

A duology of real underrated gems on this console from MonolithSoft + tri-Crescendo should definitely be played by more people.
If you're a fan of JRPGs and Card Games, you'll probably love these.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Lost Kingdoms 2, one of FromSoft's forgotten gems and exclusive to the GameCube. Fun blend of action-rpg and card mechanics, before that became all of the rage these days.
I know FromSoft is now a souls factory for the foreseeable future but I hope they one day revisit this series (Echo Night too).

This really is the core of the issue no matter what group you're talking about. Nothing good will ever come from people who watched a genocide and did nothing (or worse, participated in it). We all know this. Yes, you too.
“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.”

There is nobody in any official position who will help Palestinians. They're all bought off or otherwise compromised. That's the bottom line.
