^The Rip was pretty good.

I stopped watching Trumps speeches at live events about 14 months ago and I just follow highlights But my stepmom was very angry and asked me to come watch "what Trump was saying " So to be polite I watched about 20 minutes of his Davos ramblings and it was the predictable waste of time with him going off script and peddling revisionist and selective " facts" He megalomania is getting worse as he gets older, he did make me laugh because he makes such inaccurate points about history and world events

Good job picking this guy.

Forgive me if this seems like a super obvious question, but have you crouched and then jumped into the vent? I don't remember where the vent is positioned, but I find that for vents that are positioned high on a wall, I have to crouch first, then jump in (often after jumping on top of some other furniture). If you've already tried that and it hasn't worked for you, could you specify what platform you're using, and what game version you're seeing on the initial game menu?

So basically what we all knew from first day on. The real question is, why are they pulling this out of the hat now? Why do they need a fall-guy now? Is just this another attempt to silence the Epstein files that are still not released, over a month since a judge said it all has to be released?

Thanks, this is the feedback I was looking for and expecting and you have to ask Danes to get it The entire Greenland narrative has been hijacked and misrepresented by Trump and the media in general Its become about Trumps hubris or how " important "Greenland is to Denmark but would anyone be talking about how " important " Greenland is to Denmark if Trump wasnt trying to force US control over it? But I do understand the EU pushback because its about the principle and respect of sovereignty and the rules based order and Trump has now resorted to tariffs to get his way So I support the EU position I just wanted information about the reality of Greenland for Denmark which you have provided

The first already goes for 1000€ around here, while the second seems stable for now at 1300€. I was actually planning to buy a gpu along with an AM4 cpu and a new monitor after the summer, but it seems like it's a bad idea to wait now. Also last year I ended up ignoring advice to buy a 5700x3d, and obviously I'm now regretting it. What do you think? The monitor would be a QD-OLED thing, ultrawide.

AI doesn't *know* anything, it's a predictive algorithm, which means when it comes to something complex and open to interpretation, it often amplifies existing ignorance. For instance, it could very likely be trained on literature that is missing a crucial pov. Greenland is a net loss for Denmark, there are mineral rights, sure, but we don't pretend that Denmark profit from those, we just expect that if they strike it rich they will be able to pay their own way. Greenland stays with Denmark because it already has autonomy, and isn't really big enough for afford all the trappings of a state. We don't care about a strong strategic presence, or rather, it's problem to be solved, not a source of prestige. after 400 years there are a lot of Greenlanders with Danish roots, Danish is a second language still, so it's not really a question of what Greenland offers Denmark. The arrangement with Danish territories, we have 2, Faroe Islands and Greenland, stands for as long as they want it to. Also, Denmark is the colonial power that Greenland eventually made peace with. We made all the same mistakes as the Americans and the Canadians did with the Inuit tribes, but a lot of progress has been made to address them in the last decades. The Greenlanders don't trust the Maga Americans. They believe, probably correctly, that the minute the ink was dry on an annexation treaty with the US, they would dismiss the rights of indigenous people as they have done so many times in the past. Denmark meanwhile, has already granted them autonomy.

Not a surprise at all DOGE became the perfect example of a sensationalized and failed Trump policy Add to that he brought in Musk who thought public sector and private sector restructuring is the same and it was almost guaranteed that all the grandstanding and rhetoric on DOGE achievements would end in the failure it became

I wanted to ask you and @Gorth what is the sentiment from Danes about Greenland normally? But I am not interested in the media stories around Trumps comments but the actual opinions of citizens which will vary and I am interested more in the RL connection Danes have for Greenland And this is not about me trying to support Trumps aspirations about owning Greenland because I dont support that for any of the reasons he has mentioned and I reject his usage of tariffs on several EU countries Is Greenland something that the average Dane is proud of, do people go on holiday there and is Greenland just assumed to be part of Denmark when it comes to your history? What does Denmark gain from " owning" Greenland, I found this information from a quick search. Is this accurate? ( its standard AI initial feedback so it could be inaccurate ) What Greenland Offers Denmark: Strategic Arctic Presence: A strong Danish voice and military footing in the strategically important Arctic region. International Image: Reinforces Denmark's self-perception as a benevolent global actor, fostering its "good global citizen" status. Mineral Resources: Potential future revenues from oil, gas, and critical minerals, though extraction remains challenging. EU Rights (Historically): Previous fisheries access to Greenland's waters contributed to EU development funds for Greenland.

I've been watching a series on HBO/Max called "The Head" about a murder mystery at a remote Antarctic outpost (at least for the first season). It's been pretty good thus far, although the pacing is pretty slow so probably not for Gen Z types.

That is hard to say. If a Phantom or Shade gave you a lot of trouble then maybe start with normal difficulty. You can always ramp it up to Veteran difficulty afterwards (note that only undiscovered maps will become more difficult then, the already discovered maps stay the same as they were when you loaded them the first time). Only Path of the Damned is a locked in experience which you cannot change once started. In PoE1 they do not unless it's a bonus from a weapon or shield (for example the defense bonus of Outworn Buckler stacks with everything). Or if you have multiple gear with "Retaliation" it won't stack unless you have a shield with "Retaliation" and a helmet or cape for example - then you will have two Retaliations and so on. For all other gear: the higher bonus of the same kind suppresses the lower, no stacking. One minor exception: roll conversions (offensive x% hit to crit conversion for example or the defensive x% hit to graze conversion) will stack with each other. But they won't get added in a flat manner but instead they will all go into a list and then get checked one after another until one of the list is successful or none triggered. A 10% hit to crit conversion and another 10% hit to crit conversion thus will not result in an overall 20% chance to convert - but instead you will have an overall chance of 19% (1-0.9*0.9). 10% and 20% would not be 30% but 1-0.9*0.8 = 28%. Passive abilities stack with everything, active abilities do not stack with each other (if they apply a bonus to the same stat/attribute). Talents which add some "passive" effect to an active ability (see the Priest's talent "Inspiring Radiance" for the ability Holy Radiance" for example or Darcozzi Paladins' "Inspring Liberation" talent for the ability "Liberating Exhortation") do stack with everything even though the parent ability is an active one.

What I think is more annoying is that you don't have one companion that is loyal to the Empire. So if I play a character that is loyal to the empire, I will necesseraly be at odds with my companions.

How far the UK has fallen. Barely a regional power now. Poor Victoria must be rolling furiously in her grave.

Senile man giving a press conference now. Poor press corps enduring that https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/20/trump-musk-doge-social-security-00737245 Who could have seen DOGE turning out this way.

HA! Good Fun!

Is remarkable how his supposed trolling is acceptable to so many Americans. Bessent trying his "don't escalate from our actions" schtick again is laughable at Davos. Carney gave an interesting speech, was nice to hear him say the rules based order is bull**** mostly

Yeah, I remember you stunlocked Dorudugan in this way some time ago: Maybe there's some video about it around internet

We need to get a hold of a shaman, I think I've got the solution for our Greenland problem.

I think I'm actually leaning more towards caster classes tbh. I get a bit bored with the melee types and they make me play bad. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it )

If you don't want a caster class, I'd try a Barbarian.

@Boeroer @Okkes Thanks for the replies! I've tried out Fighter, Cipher & Druid all to very, very early parts of the game. I mean first town with the hanging tree and part cleared the temple ruins early. I was bored as Fighter. Cipher I kept forgetting to cast abilities with and the druid was the coolest by far, but I had a habit of initiating combat popping into wereboar form and charging headlong into combat. Great until I met a Spirit that ate me for lunch! The Druid I should probably play better, but I'll give a Wizard a go too. It might make me play better. Is there a recommended difficulty level for a reasonably balanced challenge? Also whilst I think on it, do multiple instances of the same items bonuses stack? I.e. +5 from ring of protection, stack to +10 if you wear two or locked at the +5?
