I disagree with your assertion. Star power is a by product of both skill and popularity. The biggest stars in music and cinema are not necessarily the best at their craft. Moreover, in an individual sport, theres multiple examples where the biggest star isnt the best, Conor McGregor and Tiger Woods being prime examples.

Secondly, he isnt the most successful swimmer. This is actually his first Olympics meaning both multiple swimmers and athletes from other sports have better resumes.

Are you kidding? Tiger Woods at his peak was pretty much the greatest golfer to ever play the game.

He might have a point if, like, the vaccine came out like 2~3 days before the Olympics... but it's been available for a couple months now, definitely more than enough time to weather any typical side effects

Beyond that there were people in initial test batches that had it much earlier on, like 5ish months after Covid hit the scene in America. People can't grasp that a lot of why Vaccines take forever to get through is due to mostly government red tape, the Covid one was fast tracked but they still required all the hoops to jump through.

We also had previous work on a Covid vaccine before this became a problem in America that helped speed this along.

I think the durability was put in to make the weapon system matter, let me put it this way if weapons were unbreakable most weapons would just be worthless. You would only care about how the weapon feels and the stats on it, so 99% of weapons that drop especially later in the game would just litter the ground.

Now they might have pushed it to far the other way, but this is one of the only Zelda games where you can try out a vast array of weapons, other Zelda games have basically one typical weapon the sword which you upgrade, and then other items like Bow, Bombs etc.. which all are limited use.

I found the durability slightly annoying at times, but it never really affected me that much, I always had loads of solid weapons in inventory. I also think a repair system would have been a nice olive branch to the players, maybe it require some work to prevent using it for every single weapon over and over again though.

I will say this, the more I re-watch the Spider-Man films the less impressed I am with Tobey he really doesn't play the role well at all and he act likes Peter Parker is some very emotional and insecure person. I think that works fine when playing the character in the first movie but, the only time he changes the way he plays Peter Parker is when he gets the symbiote in the 3rd movie.

Dunst also really fails as MJ and she really shouldn't have been cast as the character.

Shit the only reason the trilogy works at all is due to great villain casting for the most part.

Tier system.

Start with strong degradation, forcing you to swap often, because you're mostly using improvised weapons or crap looted from enemy corpses.

At a certain point you gain access to stronger, better weapons - this is the point where you begin to scale back durability (they're made better, so they last longer).

Ultimately, you reach a tier where everything is either masterwork or magical, and you drop durability on those items entirely.

It's not hard to do. It's just that, like I mentioned earlier, it's not what they wanted.

I mean more powerful weapons do take longer to break, acting like the weapons you get in the first 1 hour of the game last as long as the weapons you find off the most powerful enemies is a joke.

I also have done some research and it's nearly impossible to open the door of a plane at a cruising altitude where nearly all planes fly at. So basically the only way you can ever open the door on a plane is if for some reason the plane is only say 10k feet off the ground instead of the 36k that most planes spend the vast majority of time at.

So her efforts were in vain, the only problem would be if she tried to do it when the plane was starting to land or take off.

Already space debris is a huge problem around Earth, launching tons of garbage into space would make that problem far worse. Space debris can damage satellites and other things we need around the planet to make things like cell phones work.

I guess if you pushed it out enough to break the gravitational pull of Earth then it wouldn't be as bad but talk about a huge expense, even in 500 years it would likely still be stupidly expensive to do that. Far cheaper just to take a giant plot of land and keep burying garbage like we currently do, I think Penn and Teller did a show on this one time and claimed that the garbage we generate over the next 50 years could at worst take up like 100 or so square miles with how deep they bury it now.
