I felt like there's some base plot that is solid and holding it together, but all the intermediate filling was tasteless. Then I noticed the part: "From creators of the Game of Thrones"

Astronauts age slower and grow taller in space.

The ISS is well within the Earth magnetic shield for starters. Almost no radiation, compared to real outer space.
Is that why they sent Scott Kelly for a year up there and then compared him to his twin?

I do too, but I don't think Blizzard are going to be the ones to make it[1].
Stormgate looks like it was developed a decade before SC2, not a decade after
TBF, it's been called Tieto-something for thirty years or so. The most recent merger is visible as a suffix until the next one. Except if there isn't one for a while, then they revert to just Tieto after a few years.
Source: Worked at "TT Tietotehdas" (organic part of the name, not a suffix, AIUI) in 1996 and have had to do with it every now and then after that.
On the “suffix” side there was EDB -> rebranded EDB -> EDBErgoGroup -> Evry in several years. Also changed hands following a loss of major customer in 2015 before being merged with Tieto
Here we are again. If anyone as much as hints at politics from the "other side", their account is immediately nuked. But it's all good when you guys do it. 80 highly political comments, all good. But no, hn is not political. And if it is, it surely is neutral and rational... Sure.
And no, this were no protests against the "far right". It was an attempt to get the only opposition party in Germany banned, which is more than scary.
“Only opposition party” is a fundamentally fascist way of seeing things.
The thing that triggered the protests was a meeting of the far right including AFD people where they discussed a plan to deport all migrants including those that have a German passport. There is no listening to that kind of blatantly unconstitutional nonsense.
I do think the communication from the left on migration is often problematic, at least for the center-left parties in Germany there isn't a huge difference to what the center-right parties want. The main difference is the rethoric and how they talk about it.
Was the recent change to legislation which made only 3 years of residence enough to apply for citizenship a trigger for this? In most countries it’s 5-10 years
Tietoevry is one of these firms MBAs use to dismantle the it-department and outsorce it to.
I've always thought these centralized point of failures are a bad idea.
With extra sauce of numerous mergers and rebrandings. So, every 3 to 7 years, this phoenix of shit is reborn

When the self checkout machine refuses to scan my item. I am very likely to just steal it. Consider it a payment for my wasted time and doing the work that used to be handled by the cashier.
Look at the bright side, prison time can be an investment
