Resident Evil 2 remake review: Beautiful, terrifying, and annoying
Classic terror (and fetch quests), remade just enough for a new generation.
Two years ago, Capcom struck surprising gold with its umpteenth Resident Evil video game. 2017's Resident Evil 7 was the spark the aging series needed, particularly after RE5 and RE6 threw out the series' best ideas, and it proved that Capcom still knew how to deliver familiar chills without making things boring.

Cryogenic fuel sounds like it puts the ship into stasis until it gets to its destrination.
yeah I was wondering how that term applies - I guess I need to read the dictionary.
Cryogenic just refers to materials at super low temperatures, nothing specific. It's just "low temperature physics".
So it's basically in a supercritical state until it fires? I'm sure they have to be under pressure to achieve liquidity.

This is probably just standard liquified whatever immediately boiling and turning to a gas soon before the engines are ignited. Cryogenics are fun, even tho it's just very cold things.

Correct, it's just storing and fueling the engine with liquid oxygen or similar reducing agent to get necessary flow rates.

Pay for Trump’s border wall with $20 online porn fee, Ariz. lawmaker says
Arizona bill would make online porn viewers pay for border wall with Mexico.
An Arizona state lawmaker has proposed a $20 fee on people who want to view online pornography in order to raise money for building a border wall between Arizona and Mexico.
Arizona House Bill 2444, proposed last week by State Rep. Gail Griffin (R-Hereford), would require makers and distributors of Internet-connected devices to ship such devices with blocking software "that renders a website that displays obscene material inaccessible by default." Under the bill, any Internet user who wants to deactivate the blocking software would have to pay "a onetime deactivation fee of at least $20 to the Arizona Commerce Authority."

The Porn Wall!
-
Arizona, surrounded by a wall of porn....
HAHAHA
-
That has to be one of the worst ideas I have ever heard.
-
This could fly. Imagine the fake names that the politicians would have to create to unlock their access

just /sigh!.../Sigh I say!

So the issue with this lies in the fact that something that is obscene to one person, may be how you "say hello" to another person.
Also how does this Republican Politician think this would work?

Apple releases macOS 10.14.3, iOS 12.1.3, watchOS 5.1.3, and tvOS 12.1.2
The updates are mostly bug fixes and security improvements.
Apple pushed software updates for macOS and iOS today. They are minor releases that simply offer a few bug fixes and security updates, with no new features—and there are no new features in any of the beta releases for these versions of the operating systems, either.

How would they even? It's not like you can possibly block all the porn.

So it'll stop everyone at the border.
At least for a few additional minutes. Giving BP the chance to catch em in the act.
Wink wink, nudge nudge.
