If I'm not mistaken, adjusting lug refers to twisting a part of the handle; a similar design of razor my grandfather had, not as old as that one but still old, had such an adjustment. It wasn't the same part that held the blade down, the blade was still fully secured and supported after doing this.

You take off the glasses during totality. Only during totality is it safe to look.
Look at video game modding as an example. People want to make better things. It's part of our nature. Even today, where they have to devote their free time to it and still work under our exploitative system for money, we have people devoting time equivalent or in some cases even greater than a full time job in order to make amazing high quality mods with no monetary reward for doing so.
If the system supported it, we would see that kind of behavior in all sorts of fields.
Metroid is an interesting example. In some of the games she definitely counts as having no personality or character, but overall in the series she's been given a story and characterization with personality. Zelda games are in a similar boat; Link shows little personality in most of them but does have an established overall story and personality.
In cases like those two I'll consider them, but the lack of personality in game is a point against them regardless of the gender involved and honestly that's discouraged me from playing many games like that (including both those series) for a long while.
Way I see it, modern games have no excuse not to either let me create my own character or give the predefined character a strong personality that shows throughout the entire game.
When the protagonist's character, personality, and story is significant, then that's fine. If I'm playing a game like that I'm not playing a generic character that could be either and therefore should absolutely be a choice.
I'm fine playing a game like the Witcher, Red Dead 2, etc, cause those are the stories of that guy.
Where I won't play is games that give you a generic protagonist with little to no personality but restrict you to male only, or even I suppose female only, although this is incredibly rare and I haven't run across it myself.
That's awesome. I have played Deus Ex, since I give old games that leeway, whereas there's absolutely no excuse for new ones, but it might be enjoyable to give it another run with that mod, so thanks!
Nice to hear. I just don't play games that don't have female character options, unless the character actually matters and has a personality that is a major part of the game, like say, Geralt. I leave old games some leeway, but nice to hear they're fixing that in this old one, means I'll probably give it a try just based on that alone.
Aw, that's a shame, I didn't know about that, but I haven't played in a long while.
I enjoyed the game from time to time, though not everything about the moba gameplay is my style. Probably won't play again considering this, I really don't like anti cheat shit digging into my computer.
Speed limits usually have been set by data, it's just bad data or badly used data. Like one of the actual ways they determined speed limits was to see how fast people actually drive through an area and then set it so 15%of them are above it.
Of course, much of this was done a half century ago or more. Now most roads have speed limits set by simply choosing one of the 'standard' numbers.
But the real main issue that some studies have shown is poor road design. A road needs to be designed to make the driver adjust to the appropriate speed. A wide road with wide clearance on either side encourages higher speed. A road with trees very close to the road and narrow shoulders encourages you to slow down.
Design roads to encourage the speed you want, a d you'll mostly get it.
You can do makeup that looks like eyebrows and it's less of a hassle than shaving constantly.
Besides, with the center pill, you could look like an unkempt troll and the people you find attractive would still like it; the lack of facial hair is thus for your convenience, like not needing to shave.
Yeah...'the Voyager' sounds awkward to me in a way that 'the Enterprise' doesn't. You also hear this in the real life Voyager probes.
With many other ships, both real and fictional, the same phenomenon is noticeable - if the ship name sounds awkward with a 'the' in front, it will usually not be part of the name.
People use wrong terminology a lot, no reason to think people in the Star Wars galaxy are any different there.
For example, we have these powerful handheld computers we call 'phones' simply because they are the current generation of a technological line that began with actual phones.
So a beam weapon of any kind could very reasonably be called a laser even if it has been decades (or even longer) since the technology moved past that.
