Heartbeat bills don't actually cover a heartbeat. They cover electrical signals that are not a heartbeat, but they can be detected much earlier.

An actual heart beat can be detected around 17 to 20 weeks. Heart beat bills kick in at 6 weeks when there is no heart yet. It's not even a fetus until 8 weeks. You have to deny all the science to pass these laws.

You go first. If you only share a little, everyone else shares a lot. If you share a lot, everyone else only shares a little.

I think you have to take it within the context of when it came out. CoD4 and Mass Effect came out 9 years later. There wasn't anything like HL in 98. Enemies that talked to each other and flanked you? Unseen before. Does it stand up to games now? We've learned so much since then. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find a modern shooter that didn't trace its heritage back to HL.

When did you first play it and what other shooters had you played?

Brotato is amazing. One of the best.

Why do you think that?

If we're being technical, there's no legal right to no taxation without representation either.

But the current status is not representation either.

This is now my second favorite "cart before the horse joke".

Totally. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be, the successful result of the adaptation was that birds spread their seeds instead of mammals. Until us.

Still a good joke as we're mammals, but peppers's spice is so that birds, and not mammals, eat their seeds and poop them out far away as birds aren't bothered by capsaicin.
