Gives off Caesar and Pharaoh vibes.

hmm. the wall is a good example o' where we disagree. in his fight to build an ineffectual wall on the southern border, trump forced a national shutdown which cost the nation billions o' dollars and he subsequent stole money from the dod which woulda' gone to repairing levees and military base housing and schools. trump pushed his wall building aspirations in spite o' Congress not allocating the President funds and senators stood silent as he did so. trump avoided impeachment investigations in a way never considered possible previous to this administration. refuse to provide document

Guys, I'm starting to think some of these legal challenges might not have been thought out all that well.

Trump considers executive order ending birthright citizenships there are also a number of stories where people in the CIA and elsewhere are worried that he will reveal some of the nations secrets on his way out of office. Add that to the numerous election challenges that even he knows are now pointless. He appears committed to creating any kind of mischief he can in the time he has remaining even though he knows it is all over. Do you know who this guy is? This is Saruman going to the Shire after being kicked out of Isengard. hey I should get some points here for finding a way to a

The manliest song there is. No weakling women in sight.

A full-bodied blend with a complex, earthy bouquet and just a hint of kitty litter.

Okay, this amused me... A Cyberpunk 2077 character, wearing a tattoo of ... "Ghost in a Shell"

If you take the Saruman analogy to its final conclusion Trump will end up 'dead' via Rudi Giuliani, who snaps after finally deciding he can't take any more abuse. But who are we kidding anyway, Trump will resign a couple of days before being kicked out ruining all the stationary and commemorative knick knacks saying Biden is the 46th President, get Pence to pardon him, spend the next four years fighting prosecutions anyway then President Ivanka will pardon him again in 2025.

Heh, yep.

Yup. When I got the first Samsung, I decided to get a pneumatic-arm stand for it... and one of the twin-armed stands was on sale and cost about £5 more than the one-armed. So I thought, eh, juuuuust in case I decide to splurge on a second monitor at some point in the future....

I was feeling a touch blah, saw that Amazon had my monitor reduced by a third, and decided to pick it up... Now I have my matching pair of Samsung curved 27" side by side...

Just curiosity getting the better of me. One day I was logging in, checking posts from new accounts that needed approval (for those who don't know, a new account needs 5 approved posts to their post count to get out of moderated status, something that catches a shockingly large number of spam bots, which most people never get to see). Then I started reading a number of threads, trying to cover those where tempers sometimes flare up a bit or to add some oh so clever snarky remark. Not to boost my post counts, because posts in WoT doesn't count. Then I tried to remember, how did I even

"Rooting for the tree to survive..."

To post a bit more on topic: I think I came back after Sarge posted in one of our BIS/Interplay diaspora forums that tarna had died. My account still worked, so I logged on to pay my respects. Stuck around, unlike way back when. Why? That's a good question. I was on the verge of saying because all the other places died off, but that would come out wrong. It's not like I'm here because this is a leftover and there's no place else to return to (although Gorth inadvertently killed off the Winterwind forums with a post I think Josan misunderstood a bit in a rather emotional moment). It f

Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to GOG. That's pretty random random video game news. (probably another 'thanks Epic' situation where it isn't any more trouble sticking it drm free on GOG than it is being drm free on EGS, per Outer Worlds/ Metro Exodus etc)

Yep, that's it. Tried with a Helwalker and same thing: +2 wounds (and +2 mortification of course) on crit.

Following the news that the Pope's Instagram accidentally liked a risque model's ass pic..

I can't decide if this is for the US politic thread or here.

Glad to see one of my favourite models from the tabletop (and the pride of my Wood Elf army) getting represented in the game:

Now I want a new NOLF.

The Internet was a mistake.

My hubby's amazing ability to reach the top of the shelves, carry large/heavy packages, electrical/mechanical skills and most vitally, his laconic tendencies meaning he doesn't mind my rambling tendencies, are very important indeed, and much appreciated every day.

republican governor, tom ridge. HA! Good Fun! ps flynn is just the first. anybody who could be used as a witness against trump in future litigation will likely be pardoned so as to remove leverage options available to the justice department. is the fact this pardon doesn't surprise anybody which should be shocking to everybody.

Scotland the Brave!... And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Hands up anyone who feel like sniggering at the following article. If you do, you're not alone, just ignorant. It's a significant expense, that is no laughing matter, especially for struggling families. As mentioned in The Guardian article below, stigma around the subject is no small part of the problem. Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products free for all. MSPs unanimously approved the Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Bill on Tuesday. There is now a legal duty

is fitting that a bad scene from a bad movie offers our best answer to gorth's query. HA! Good Fun!

seventy-five years ago today. Jackson were the SCOTUS Justice who literal left what would be his hospital deathbed to make brown v. board unanimous, and his opinion in korematsu were arguable the most important dissenting opinion by a Justice during the 20th century.

Same. I really miss that tight turn-of-the-millennium period. So, I guess it's Ultra/High settings with RTX turned OFF and DLSS turned ON for me. Game definitely appears to be GPU bound, so I'm guessing it's not going to be an infinity-and-beyond open world type game, which could be a good thing if done right.

I'm paraphrasing here, but the sentiment I hear repeatedly is, "You can't create discord, you can only exploit it". Critical thinking isn't a skill that is taught in the US public school system. Nor it is particularly valued. Case in point, Edgar Welch thought he had common sense and research on his side. Self-deception takes a lot of effort to overcome.

That’s so obvious AI am angry at myself AI never thought of that as potential next IO project. Considering that recent Hitmans were great Bond games, I have high hopes for this one. I wonder if they reuse the formula or try something new.
