YES! Still have a poster kicking about from the "finale". I loved the series growing up. RIP Edd

If thats a sign on some nowhere road by a rough together building, it's probably some of the best BBQ you've ever had.

I think its a gripen. I don't know much of anything about jets but the only modern fighter I know with those foward wing things is the gripen.

It's crazy how expensive it is too. At my HS, as an ASB rep got contacted by DARE reps once and they where oh its only $15k per classroom. It all made sense when I started to learn its always been a money grubbing grift. It never had a good reason to exist other then excuse to charge alot for busybwork.

If you mean who gets the money from app purchases etc.; The ruling also says Google play billing cannot be required, so each app/developer can use whatever payment processor they want

Reading this, it's my understanding this ruling says Google must host rival "app store" apps in Google play store and must provide them with a copy of all apps on the playstore for them to distribute. Developers do not opt in to the new app-stores, but they can opt out.

New game engine, putting aside concerns of Epic exclusives and such, seems fine,

but changing the name, it's not to signify the game studio will focus on halo, 343's name is based on the franchise; "New name, new philosophy", it's trying to distract from the past trying to say "under new management", but in recent times companies have used this as smoke and mirrors, hiding that nothing has changed.

I'll believe new philosophy when a game comes out that isn't trying to be destiny or cod and doesn't have 50% of the game missing at launch because of mangled management that was fine shipping an incomplete game and never finishing it.

Not all flamethrowers throw napalm, as seen flamethrowers predate napalm. A flamethrower made to abate weeds is not nearly as powerful as a military grade one, but it still throws flame. So even if you can't buy a fancy flamethrower that shoots out 20+ feet, you can have some fun with a little propane tank based weed abatement "flamethrower". I wasn't trying to kick up an argument on the technicalities of what is a flamethrower, but your arguments are the weakest thing to support your idea.

The first flamethrowers date to the 7th century. No they aren't modern military flamethrowers but as with the description "commercial flamethrowers are generally blowtorches using gaseous fuels such as propane". No they don't have the same range or lethality but saying they cant both be flamethrowers is saying a BB doesn't shoot projectiles because it's not as the same projectiles and range of a military assault rifle.
