“Arithmancy” is their name for math classes and is mentioned several times throughout the books. It is one of Hermione’s favorite subjects.
At one point, the real world evil witch that is JK Rowling suggested that Arithmancy is like dviniation, but with math, saying they use numbers to predict the future. I take this to mean that the wizarding community discovered calculus independently from the rest of the world and mistook it for a new form of magic.
“Arithmancy” is what they call their math disciplines and it’s mentioned a fair bit in the books, though understandably never really shown in the movies.
an interactive medium offers unique avenues for storytelling not available to something more static like a film or a novel.
think things like environmental storytelling or branching narratives.
They aren’t charging for convenient access to the data though, they are charging for bulk access. The limitations of the new API should not impact people casually pulling in subtitles with VLC when they watch a movie, which is the purpose the API was intended to fulfill.
I can see that.
However very little of what I’ve ever seen at a Chinese buffet in America has made me think of real Chinese cuisine.
I think the cakes OP is talking about are just shitty because every one of these cheap buffets gets them from Sysco.

I find this behavior annoying, I actually like to place windows in corners with a small margin
i would love to get another one of the same quality as Beyond.
they were the center of some of DS9’s best episodes
i’ve never played roblox
so i don’t understand why i’m seeing a store page that appears to be selling a lego minifig decorated as a tricorder
sorry i’m a millennial, what the fuck am i looking at?
Seeing them side by side, i think i actually prefer the incorrect shot. It looks more like TNG.
Luke is a 19 year old kid with a gift for piloting small spacecraft.
Han Solo is an adult with actual command experience.
i don’t think these are meant to have “Trek messages”, if anything the point is to lampoon them by taking various Trek tropes to comical extremes (Spock misunderstanding human emotions, cultural acceptance, etc.)
for ~3 minute shorts on YouTube, i think that is fine even if it is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Let’s put it another way.
When I buy a new product, I’m paying for everything that comes inside the shrink wrap, case included. Once you open that case, the case is used. It is no longer in brand new mint condition.
If GameStop had a reputation for taking care of their open boxes and ensuring that they were in as close to mint condition as possible, I probably wouldn’t care. But they don’t. Every time this happened to me, I got a scuffed up case covered in hard to remove stickers. In some cases, you end up like OP and pay the full new price for a bare disc with no original case or manual. The fact that you are OK with that is astounding.
Why are you so eager to defend shitty behavior that only GameStop engages in? Are you just completely oblivious to the fact that many people who still buy physical games want to keep the packaging in good condition?
The Doctor was the intended Spock/Data surrogate.
I’d say they understood the formula too well since they added a second one in season 4.
Go try selling an open copy of a game on eBay or Craigslist as “new”. You won’t get people paying “new” prices for it. You will get people paying “used” prices. And your prices will be even lower if the case is all grubby and covered in stickers, as GameStop tends to do.
If they want to sell these as “open box”, fine, but selling them as new for new prices is downright shitty and that is what people have a problem with.
This is not a tough concept to grasp. No other retailer is shitty enough to open all their products, sell them at full price, then tell their customers to fuck off when they complain.
Fuck GameStop.
A lot of cheap kitchen scales are also just crap. Talk to your local drug dealer about what brand of scale might be right for you.
