I'm sure you can appreciate the sad irony for your eternal refrain of waiting for the full story to come out against the actual legal reality requiring that someone speak as soon as humanly possible if they want to safely tell lies or drive an agenda...

The ICE commando was filming, video there will probably lead to it being ruled as justified I suspect. These ICE guys aren't the brightest though, who walks in front of a car and they also seem bent out of shape due to the women jawing at them. Wonder if they get doxed if the Dems take 2028.

I made a few delicious Jell-o soups before because of too many bones, and I always thought they were great too. Wife occasionally likes (for me) to make aspics, so I guess it all kind of fits.

am more likely to make pierogi, but am finding we like most dumpling variations, regardless o' cultural origin. however, am posting 'cause o' your mention o' bone broth. made chicken soup. is one o' the few soups we don't need add broth to 'cause am making the broth by boiling the chicken, right? the thing is, we still have a bunch o' frozen turkey bones from our thanksgiving birds and so we added turkey bones (which we had roasted in an air fryer before freezing) when we were boiling our chicken in anticipation o' making soup. ... perhaps we added a few too many bones, 'cause the couple quarts o' soup we did not freeze and instead refrigerated has become a solid mass o' gelatin. we got a weird looking and extreme dense jell-o mold instead o' what you would expect from a soup. tastes delicious, so... whatever. HA! Good Fun!

I made, I don't know what to call it, but I had it once and attempted to recreate it. Boiled some potatoes with a few baby carrots and while that was on I caramelized some sweet onions and crisped up some prosciutto (I think the original probably had bacon but I didn't) in the microwave (pork chips, yum). Drained and roughly mashed my root vegetables with butter and milk, then stirred in the onions, crumbled crispy prosciutto, and a dollop of sauerkraut. My wife thought it was the best thing ever but my kids didn't really care for it.

I play Shadowrun solo. I use Gemini to do the GMing for me.

am thinking @Malcador and similar posters learned their lesson and am not seeing the need to embarrass them with their initial failure o' imagination (reasonable and understandable) followed by a curious obstinate reluctance to ignore just how different were the trump threat compared to previous examples o' bad Presidents from post ww2. converse, people who has invoked TDS as a response to those critical o' trump post january 6 deserve the same scorn and ridicule as the seth rich conspiracy nutters... and people who set off fireworks after midnight multiple days before or after holidays such as new years, chinse new years and the fourth of july. it were raining here on new years, so once the weather cleared a few folks in our neighborhood felt justified in firing off their unused arsenals a couple days later. not cool. sadly, suing kriti noem for her defamation is gonna be difficult... and perhaps surprising, her dhs post ain't what is insulating her from deserved legal punishment. maybe hurl has heard us caution people against speaking out before facts is clear. has been a few doozy examples where we highlighted that the rush to craft a narrative in the absence o' evidence has a tendency to mark the lightning quick pundits as clowns and fools... not that such happening over and over again has slowed those most egregious purveyors o' stoopid even a little. so it goes. unfortunate, the lack o' facts, or at least the possibility o' a counter-narrative before accepted facts is widely available, results in a legal defense to slander even if such behavior is moral repugnant. most o' us believe that government figures should have facts straight before they make accusations o' criminal behavior or moral turpitude, but that ain't a rule for kristi noem anymore than it is for the clowns posting on this board. when discussing matters o' public interest, or when speaking o' individuals who is loosely defined as public figures, you may only receive damages if you are able to prove that the speaker knew (or should have known... which gets a little fuzzy at the margins, eh?) they were lying when they made their outlandish utterance. krisit noem has shown time and again that she is not only extreme ignorant but that she will speak before it is even possible to know a truth. as far as we can tell, her definition o' domestic terrorist is less a legal identifier than it is a label o' political affiliation, and at the moment, there is literal millions o' fox news, newsmax and oan viewers who has only seen selected video o' the incident which could be interpreted in such a way that the victim o' the minneapolis shooting were trying to run down an ice agent. go after kristi noem for her abject stoopid is no easier than winning a court judgement against your fellow boardies who misspoke about police shootings in wisconsin or the unfortunate events at Uvalde. is functional your right as an american to blow your ignorant load. ... also, and am feeling gross even mentioning, but the victim o' the shooting is dead, so kristi is further insulated from legal pain. is much more difficult (although not impossible) for surviving family members to be successful plaintiffs in defamation cases. if the victim had survived, brought a defamation claim, and then died, her family might be able to continue her defamation claim, depending on the state. regardless, as a general rule, you cannot defame a dead person... except in texas. aside, even if kristi noem were held legal responsible, american tax payers would cover the damages. HA! Good Fun!

Referendum? You must mean Anschluss...

Sorry for not responding sooner. I played Zahua and Maneha ages ago. I have a one barbarian build saved for Maneha. Maneha Ring of Searing Flames + Heart of Fury Bittercut + Purgatory / Resolution OR Weapon + Badgradr's Barricade / Dragon's Maw Abilities at lvl 1.3,5,7,9,11,13,15: Talents at lvl 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16: Barbaric Yell Veteran's Recovery Savage Defiance Two Weapon Style OR Weapon & Shield Style One Stands Alone Weapon Focus Frenzy Accurate Carnage Threatening Presence Vulnerable Attack Heart of Fury Stalwart Defiance OR Bear's Fortitude Dragon Leap Greater Frenzy Thick-skinned OR Echoing Shout Superior Deflection The most fun ability is Heart of Fury, if I remember correctly. The reason I didn't post any monk or barbarian builds is that I haven't really play them that much and I don't feel confident enough to give advice on them. Monks and barbarians are strong actually but I prefer different classes. --- Zahua I can't find the build I used for Zahua. It was like 8 years ago . I remember wearing a plate armor and using fists the whole game. Abilities like Swift Strikes, Torment's Reach, Turning Wheel, Stunning Blow, Duality of Mortal Presence, The Dichotomous Soul. Monk is just strong. Talents - Weapon Focus Peasant, Two Weapon Style, Lightning Strikes., Apprentice Sneak Attack I think I would go for constitution, dexterity, perception.

Would be nice to have blue print for a bounce web elevator, as building them by hand is very finicky and time consuming to get each bounce secton lined up properly.

Wouldn't be the US without some propaganda movies about their operations, yes. Why Cubans, maybe they are better trained than his domestic troops, but he also had 2000 presidential guard troops as well.

Please confirm. HDR is amazing on XSX.

Yes it was common knowledge and reported on that 32 Cubans were killed, it hasn't featured much in South Africa coverage but its out there My interest is more what it means and why Maduro was using them. It was generally believed that Maduro always had the support of his own security forces. So why would you have foreign fighters as personal bodyguards if you trust your own military? I can just imagine the understandable outrage if our government was using foreign soldiers from any African country because all the questions would be " why dont you trust our own security forces" I believe the US had help from within the Venezuelan security forces, thats why the extraction was so easy. At least from an information gathering perspective We wont know until much later the full details And the movie about this is going to be very entertaining

"The Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently." -- JD Tarkin

Does it even matter if they aren't asked anyways.

Sure, if you're not following any news on it at all. Rather small detail, and from what Cuba says, has some high ranks.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republican-leaders-push-back-trump-openness-military-greenland-rcna252814 As expected Republican Leaders in both the House and Senate have rejected suggestions that the US will invade Greenland and take it by military force. The likely option is the US will make an offer to buy Greenland and that will be decided by the people in Greenland through a referendum " Top Republicans on Capitol Hill, including leaders of the House and the Senate, are pushing back against President Donald Trump on Greenland, saying it would be inappropriate for the United States to use military force to take over the Arctic island. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Tuesday night he did not think it would be “appropriate” for the U.S. to use military action to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory controlled by Denmark, a founding member of NATO. On Wednesday morning, Johnson told reporters he did not think “anybody’s seriously considering that." Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., also rejected the idea, telling reporters Tuesday he does not see “military action being an option" in Greenland. “That, to me, is that’s not something that anybody is contemplating seriously at this point,” he said."

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mkwl2g499o Venezuela has started releasing political prisoners, this is positive outcome now that Maduro is gone "The Venezuelan government has begun releasing detainees considered political prisoners by human rights groups, in what officials described as a goodwill gesture. Spain's foreign ministry said five of its nationals, including one dual national, had been released. Among them is thought to be rights activist Rocío San Miguel. The move comes after the US seized Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro in a lightning raid on the capital, Caracas, on Saturday, to face drug trafficking charges in New York. The release of political prisoners in Venezuela has been a long-held US demand, especially during moments of heightened repression around elections or protests." Also something else that doesn't get much attention, 32 Cubans were killed protecting Maduro Why would any president need foreign fighters as bodyguards and how common is this? https://apnews.com/article/cubans-killed-venezuela-strike-us-oas-a8d8fcbe3e825979c5d3171f9b076a85

chance of this mollusca getting elected president are almost 0 yet the chance of becoming president of most powerful nation in history are still high hope someone enjoy this thought

Honestly, the vast majority of series would probably be improved by swapping out the ending for playing Come Sweet Death while humanity is merged into a collective being. Unironically, Omedetou out of nowhere is better than 90% of what actually happens. But at the very least in this case, it would show exactly what Vecna was trying to do. The Mindflayer is already capable of manifesting irl, or at least was until they retconned it into a D-tier Godzilla enemy, so his plan had to have been more than just bridging the gap between worlds to invade it from Mexico The Abyss. I'm struggling to articulate this well, but my thoughts on the final season is that it is at the same time too long and too short (ie bloated runtime without doing anything real) as well as that it feels like it was made to end an alternative series where evil Sarah Connor was a threat from the start or the supernatural hell dimension was always just a bridge. Like my memory is not the best but the Abyss just came out of nowhere and just contradicts the feel of every existing monster.

JD Vance is a sniveling pig man who doesn't even have the spine to defend his wife and children.

Another Oreshnik* strike on something in Lviv. At least 6 submunitions, and a fairly impressive fire started by the looks of things. Timing is probably as interesting as the target (best guess so far is natural gas storage). *basically an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile without the nuclear payload. The submunitions are solely kinetic as at the speed they travel- ~6km/s- an explosive payload is essentially redundant. Pretty well known that it was coming, though not where exactly, as such launches are Notified so avoid people thinking it's a first strike and the US embassy issued a warning about a major incoming strike like last time.
