Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.

Ah, I've even seen that one! Good call

Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven't seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

Saving Private Ryan is at least "very good" if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.

And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn't a 'high art ' genre)

Ah yes. "If you're rich, nothing is illegal, there's just a fee"

That's definitely a thing, but something different.

I don't think you get what I was saying. I'm not debating the definition of the word "fee."

I'm saying that in most states in the USA, there's often a fee for many things that can get gotten completely for free if you prove your income is low enough.

So I guess you could say you "pay a fee" of the extra time and hassle to prove your low income. But for something like a state ID, for instance, you can get one absolutely free (no money paid) if your income is low enough.

I believe OP's point was that the title says "Teacher accused of sex with students." It should read "Teacher accused of raping students"

One small point to correct/adjust is the idea that these sites were "ignored."

The pyramids have been a tourist attraction for thousands of years. The Romans talked about visiting them. I'm guessing there was never a time when they weren't of interest to people in the area. Same for something like the Colosseum, Parthenon, or Pantheon. They might not have always prioritized preservation, but they certainly didn't forget they existed.

No, I get that. Otherwise they'd have to mention the requirement of Nvidia RTX chip sets. It's just effectively the same thing. Shaders and lighting effects that give 90% the same result as raytracing.

I was just remarking on how similar it was and that it was unusual that they didn't say "similar to the effects that were available on RTX resource packs."

Looks like it's just finally just official RTX for non-Nvidia graphics cards. Especially since it's just for Bedrock to start with. Interesting that they never referenced RTX in the presentation. I'm guessing some exclusivity period with Nvidia has expired.

Reverse. It's only a fee if you can afford it. If you can't afford it, it's free.

*"Newly identified moons" I'm pretty sure they've been there for a while.

Having 128 new moons would really be noteworthy!
