    Everyone answering me seems to not allow for the option that I may not counter the other person with an alternative I defend with reason. My dislike for that expression assumes that I find myself in a discussion over something worth defending with reason, otherwise there is no discussion in the first place.

    Except for it being called Blade Runner and not striking any resemblance to the original.

    If it came out as it's own thing I would have called it a good movie, although a bit bland and with poorly written characters, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, no way.

    I will go against most opinions and I would say give it a try.

    My friends who are into the book quoted much more from the second and style-wise I can tell you this: I LOVED the first one. I HATED the second one.

    So, since the book seems really to be about deception, war and religion (the last 2 I despise to see in movies because I find them boring as hell), I could suggest you watch it.

    Only positive thing that could theoretically come out of this, for me as a European, is that some US representatives will finally stop going around saying that you are the greatest democracy on this planet. Problem is, the US nationals who usually utter such BS are not the ones able to realize how anti-democratic this is. As a US citizen with a working brain, I would be in DC now.

    This is the worst you got to, up to now, going full circle from colony of a monarchy to monarchy.

    That is absurd! Event Horizon is the only legit Doom movie. That was the idea all along and they even used the sound clip from the spawn cube in the movie.

    Also, although I am not a 40k fan, I know some people see this as a prequel to Warhammer 40k as the moment in which humans first get to use the Warp.

    It was ruined by execs, but it is a masterpiece, especially in the production design.

    Last time I checked Assange was never a journalist. I think it is terrible what happened to him and I hope I can keep expecting that only from China, Russia, the USA and a few others, but this is false information and actually it explains the whole reason why the USA could very easily apply the Espionage Act in such a way.

    Playing for the first time and I chose the corpo and loving the style so much when walking in the city center. I am not talking about the more military stuff like Arasaka guards, but rather the kind of outfit sported by Meredith Stout and the Peralez. I tried to look for people involved in that specific character design on ArtStation, but there seem to be none, and anyway I don't know if it would be possible for me to come in contact with them.

    2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

    If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.

    My "politics" is because I don't think that any politically relevant (especially for the rest of the world) decision in the US is taken in or by the appointed institutions. And recent events, including the news we are commenting on here, are confirmation of this.

    Does an M.2 Wifi card (Intel Killer WiFi 6E AX1690i) need an external antenna?

    I need to add Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity to my PC which is built on an ASROCK Phantom Gaming D5 mobo. Before buying I checked on [this resource](https://pg.asrock.com/mb/WiFiCard/Z690%20Phantom%20Gaming%204D5.pdf) from ASROCK website and the adapter is meant to be fully compatible and a specification of a 2T2R antenna is matching it (which I until now assumed would be an internal feature. I installed the adapter and the latest drivers and the device is recognized as both a Bluetooth device and a Wi-Fi adapter, but: - Wi-Fi, although technically working (on 802.11ac) is extremely sluggish, de facto unusable. - Bluetooth is not recognizing any devices when in discovery. The [Motherboard Manual (page 11)](https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2487646/Asrock-Z690-Phantom-Gaming-4-D5.html?page=11&term=antenna&selected=1#manual) states that there are 3 x Antenna Mounting Points on the Rear panel, which I think I have identified as 3 holes to be punched out from the panel, but then I would not know how to proceed. Would the installation of an external set of antennas likely solve the problem? If so, how do I choose one and how do I install it?

    Are there patterns one learns to solve SQL interview questions (or tasks in general)?

    I recently tried my hand at an advanced online SQL test for a io position. Time-trial, non-autocompleting IDE, no human interaction. I failed miserably (0%) and I am fine with it. I have prepared myself with StrataScratch and the Mode tutorial, on top of my experience in querying GA4 data in BQ and other data for finance, sales and operations. . Although the resources are good to familiarize with SQL functions and structuring queries, I still feel that I am missing some kind of mindset that would enable me to tackle SQL questions irrespective of complexity. I don't want to know necessarily the details, if it is hard for you to explain, but I would like to know if there is such a state of mind to achieve. Of course, any description and resource is welcome.
