Best selling console of all time was the PS2, closely followed by the Nintendo DS. The Switch is seemingly only 10,000 odd units sold behind the DS, so may well overtake it soon, and the switch 2 is doing very well indeed.

I think they meant that it took too long for Kissenger to die - for the "is" to become "was"

Her name is Evey Hammond, and it's the start of his obsession with her.
V: "Evey? E-V... of course you are."
Evey: "What does that mean?"
V: "It means that I, like God, do not play with dice, and do not believe in coincidence"

Sorry I missed the sarcasm, the world is crazy enough now that it's a believable thing someone might say. I don't regret spelling it out for anyone who might think that way though.

Alright, let's start at the top. He was married and was attempting to cheat on his wife with a work colleague; he literally committed a crime, vandalism, by messing with her car to render it inoperable; all in order to manufacture a situation where he could swoop in and seem like a hero so she would be more likely to sleep with him, which at *best* could be described as predatory behaviour.

Here's an indiewire article from 2019 calling him out for transphobic tweets:
https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/ricky-gervais-goes-on-transphobic-twitter-rant-sparked-by-j-k-rowling-1202198933/
He's been openly transphobic for a while, and has been called out on it before. His 2022 special just made more people aware of what a shitheel he really is, as yknow, a lot of people don't follow him on twitter to see it.

"Can't really blame the Russians here, they're lazy with their ID."
Seriously, did you actually think about that sentence? You provided the perfect reason to blame the Russians. Also, yeah, casevac vehicles are often armed but that's because they're not medical vehicles per se, just being used as a transport in an emergency, and so wouldn't be marked with any of those symbols. Weirdly, it's the medical vehicles and medics that get marked with these.
Get outta here with this weird fash apologism.

Honestly, thanks for asking, it's important to provide references

Don't know why you're being downvoted, I've been speaking english for over 3 decades and have never, not once, heard of goat meat referred to as "chevon" as opposed to just "goat", whether atvthe butchers, in restaurants, or online. Wikipedia says the name was created whole cloth by slapping the French for goat and sheep together in 1922 by a trade group and was adopted by the USDA in 1928, but it hasn't caught on.

I think that's not just Rayquaza, I think that's Rayquaza as Dalamadur, a massive snake elder dragon from Monster Hunter

He was an American called Eugene Schieffelin, and the thing about Shakespeare probably isn't true as no records of that exist until like 30 or 40 years after his death. It's a fun story though, and hurts no one but a long dead fool who introduced non native species to America.

Little late to the party here, but I did some maths on this. Assuming both the amount of damage dealt and radius of the sphere are tied to the amount of radiation, and assuming that the radius of the sun is the sphere of effect (generously instead of the whole solar system), that mold is about to take roughly 158,000,000d10 radiant damage, and that's not accounting for the force damage from it's immense gravity. Any fire damage it deals from its heat is minute in comparison to those.

It is though? Right to left is top to bottom - red, orange (looks like yellow on the roll) green, yellow, light blue, dark blue, green. Only thing missing from the roll is the orangey shade on the far left, which may have been added after filming the rest as when you pause on the "finished" roll it looks to me like there's a slim gap at the bottom that's not coloured in.

It's Destination Unknown by Alex Gaudino, though they are similar

I'm not American, so please correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't that exactly what the amendments are for? Changing the Constitution so you aren't stuck with it?

Does anyone know why it says "MOON PLANET 1360" at the top? Its flickering with the rest of the video unlike the superimposed logos

It's a word that can mean the opposite of itself. In this case, you can hit something hardly, meaning a lot of force, or hardly hit something, meaning barely any force

Quick Google puts the Tyrannosaurus genus between 68 and 66 million years ago and Stegosaurus 155 to 145 million years ago. So like, 77 million years between the most recent Stegosaurus and the most ancient Tyrannosaurus.
