Just drop the M - GPH/gallons per hundred is just as short and easy to say as MPG.
In Australia we say "litres per hundred", there's no point specifying kilometres because what else would it be?

Ah yes, the "world tour" where two thirds of them are in the USA and the rest in central Europe...

What we actually need is a ban on exclusivity. There aren't nearly as many complaints about music streaming services because most music is on all of them.

Plus if more TV and movies were on multiple streaming services, they'd have to start competing on service instead of exclusive content and maybe actually improve the experience...

People with red hair have significantly higher tolerance to pain killers and anaesthetic, and typically need more to achieve the same effect as other people

Scientific progress goes "boink"?

It's worth clarifying that it's the Divinity: Original Sin games that are similar style CRPGs, and I'm assuming you mean Original Sin 2.

There is a game called Divinity 2, but it's wildly different (I still love it though)

Sounds like someone didn't read the full article:

Mona’s legal team will be relying on the tribunal’s interpretation of section 26 of Tasmania’s Anti-Discrimination Act, under which a person is permitted to discriminate against another person in a situation designed to promote equal opportunity for a group of people who are disadvantaged or have a special need because of a prescribed attribute – in this case gender.

It is under clauses like this in most of Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation that organisations such as male-only clubs and women-only gyms are able to operate.

Nope, you can find them in missions as well, just in smaller amounts

 

A former Activision executive has sued the publisher in California state court accusing the company of age discrimination and violating the state's whistleblower protection law, as reported by Law360.

The suit was filed earlier this week by a 57-year-old former tech executive who worked for the company from 2014 until being laid off as part of a restructuring in the Activision Blizzard's Central Tech department last August.

The lawsuit gives several examples to establish that Activision Blizzard discriminated against him, starting with statements Bobby Kotick allegedly made at a leadership conference that the "problem" with Activision Blizzard is that "there are too many old white guys." (The suit doesn't say exactly when the conference was.)

Weird take, that's like saying live action porn is fucking weird because it's all blonde bimbos with bolt-ons.

That's a bit harsh, if it was literally Payday 2 with a new engine and graphics upgrades I'm sure plenty of people would buy it happily, the main problem seems to be that it's not as good, which isn't a great sign for a sequel
