remember the 2 trillion bribe gulf state was suppose to give to usa anyday now

edit: also, if anyone really believes Japan or Japanese companies are going to invest a single yen more in the United States than they would have anyway thanks to this agreement, I have this here slightly used bridge to sell you for cheap. It's a great deal. A fantastic deal. The best deal ever. The bigliest biggest deal ever. Don't miss out!

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/22/business/japan-trade-agreement-us Its not really a bribe, thats part of the negotiations in direct investment in the US. But they reached a trade agreement that benefits both countries. Japan will be charged 15% for exports into the USA This definitely benefits Japanese motor exports "The deal will see US importers pay 15% “reciprocal” tariffs on Japanese goods exported to the United States. But importantly for Japan, the 15% rate will also extend to automobiles and car parts - putting it at an advantage over other major vehicle exporters, which have faced a 25% levy on automotive sector exports since April. " Its interesting how Trump has been able to get countries to agree to these types of transactional trade terms and this is because of the strength of the USA economy and its buying power So we shouldnt use words like " vassals" because its about economics and if there were other export markets that could absorb the USA buying power countries would be using them It reminds me of our South Africa trade imbalance with BRICS, we have a trade deficit with BRICS of R230 billion and a trade surplus of R37 billion with the USA And yet now we facing US tariffs people are saying " lets just use BRICS to trade, we dont need the USA" But BRICS isnt buying our goods as much as they selling\dumping goods on us So BRICS is clearly not going to replace the USA as an export market But the main point Im making is no one is being forced to export to the USA, any country can decide who they want to trade or export with. If you can find other export markets then use them and just ignore Trump and his tariffs?

Scientists are developing artificial blood that could save lives in emergencies If it works in humans, this could be an amazing advance. Good to see.

Maybe cuter moth armour with fluff or something.

Can the moth armour come in different colors and can the headgear have moth antennae ontop of it instead of a headwrap? Also can we get a repeating crossbow the old game only had the slow crossbows and when getting swarmed by a bunch of small bugs it was kind of annoying waiting to reload each time while dealing with them all.

For me the game only loads my actual save while offline, anytime im online t puts me to a save i dont have from a month ago. i feel like ive tried everything from making hundreds of saves to uninstalling the game. i even went offline and midway through the loading turn on my internet thinking it would work but when i loaded another save nothing changed. if some knows how to fix this please help!!

I still need to watch Prodigy. I'm surprised I've liked LOWER DECKS as well as I have.

Wife couldn't stand what they did with her favorite captain so we never finished the first season of Picard. I think Prodigy was easily the best NuTrek and closest to old Trek in heart and feeling.

usa force japan to pay 550 billion as bribe for low 15 percent tariff wonder if eu will have to give much bigger bribe or will they actually be useful and shake off their vassal mindset

If it is possible to "delete" a character with a script like that, would it be possible to instead swap out a character for an exported adventurer / sidekick light as per Kvellen's prototype?

Chuck Mangione. Only know of him through King of the Hill as the writers or showrunners liked him or something

Is it possible to use an animation from the list of NPC animations? The ones where some of them are sitting, hammering a wall, et cetera. I want to see if the animation Sharpening Blade would work well as a companion personality animation. Please see attached image. – https://drive.proton.me/urls/VZKPSB3HXG#ZPjhpnisbib3 for higher resolution. I've tried to see if I could figure out how to do this with Apotheosis but can't see how. I've tried opening the .gamedatabundles in VS Code et cetera but none of them want to reformat the code back to something I can read and not just one long line of code. Also, I can't seem to open .character files in any application, I'm guessing it must be some kind of text editor / code editor. Also, a separate question, is it possible to add a prop item to a character / companion personality animation from some item, and connect it to one of the game's defined points for the 3D models?

RIP Hogan. He was a big part of growing up watching wrestling in the 'Rock & Wrestling' period (which partially coincided with the period after WWE bought & tanked the local wrestling promotion and Ted Turner started WCW). But the last few decades have not been kind to his legacy.

I was okay with Picard season one. If they'd changed the bit that imo super nerfed the ending and undercut their own themes about what the season was about, I think it probably would have landed in 'great' territory.

Well, I realize that's a large number. There are over 600 mods over on Nexus, many of them really interesting. And from my experience with using mods (which goes back a good amount... I remember a 100+ modlist for Skyrim), as far as the different systems working in the engine, I think if you try to focus on only adding smaller mods that adjust minor and dissimilar aspects of a game's engine (while having a somewhat logical understanding how the engine works), you are usually OK. At least that's what I'm trying to do. There are many mods, but not many "Overhaul" types that change multiple aspects at once. Think Witcher 3 combat overhaul mods. I'm not using anything like that. But regardless, and yes I will likely end up having to troubleshoot issues with that many.. I expect that... but I'm just having trouble finding any resource online that breaks down what (if any) types of mods need to be given priorities over others in the in game load list, aside from the handful of mods that do specify it in their descriptions.

Do these together do reasonably well earning wounds to rely on as a main source?

80 mods? I think there is NO way they work without issues, whatever order you'll use It is up to mod developer assure the mod works with other mod, but it is valid for major mods and not always... with that huge number of mods you can only pray...

"I know that armor and archetypes in Grounded are based on the insects you've defeated, which is a great system. However, I have a suggestion to expand on the character’s stat progression through armor. When two armors reach their maximum upgrade level, it could be possible to fuse them. This fusion would, first, create a unique visual aesthetic, and second, combine or even generate new stats, offering a fresh blend of effects based on the armors being fused. Each fusion could result in different stat combinations, encouraging experimentation and deeper customization."
