He seems to understand the importance of compromise and bipartisanship so that Congress can function
Sure, if you ignore the past couple of months.

Domino theory of our time, I am feeling. For amusement read Hamish's comments last year too
Ukraine also claims they downed a Tu-22, first bomber downed of the war.

Israel's response underway apparently.

Was the first one good ?

Caesar 4 getting to be a slog, stupid me taking military missions. Trying to align buildings in this game is bothersome with the 3D implementation.

So it looks like US Congress is finally going to put the various aid packages to the floor for a vote and this includes the Ukraine $65 billion
Johnson is not worried about threats to remove him because he will survive a vote of no-confidence with Democrats help
Once that's done, watch all the doom and gloom articles evaporate. 3 months later than I expected though, but was coming.

Woke up early, Satan sent me Stealth Fighter on TV for my sins. Ice T as a fighter pilot, enough said.

On a somewhat gaming tangent:
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the launch of Wing Commander 3 George wants to record vol. 2 of his music with large orchestra
Surprised CIG isn't adding this as a stretch goal.

Embrace the future.
Seems like it. Was trying to find a command for grep, missed findstr. I prefer the comfort of bash and manpages.

Building a PC these days seems more of a headache than 5-6 years ago, at least being concerned with QA issues.

Being unnecessarily annoyed at Powershell and its needlessly descriptive names for commands.

Where's that info coming from and why would they think that?
Not wholly convinced, but Russia's got to be low on equipment now. But that just means they'll dig in and things go nowhere, maybe?
And for a bit of a laugh

Israel will probably go assassinate some other IRGC official. Good to know the US holds the leash, although I could see Biden caving and sending Israel help if they do decide to bomb Iran.
-
Russia is due to run out of tanks in a year, so probably won't be needed any way.
-
Palestinians can suck it as a result of this, too, I guess.
-
Iran attacking Israel now, drones for now, probably missiles next. Fun times.
Netanyahu must be happy

"Hunters of Dune"
Just stop. Stop while you still can.
He must make it to the Ultra Spice

Hunters of Dune. I have to be honest, I skimmed half of the book. At this point I am reading Sandworms of Dune for the plot.
Only book I have returned to the library the day I got it, got so upset I felt like destroying the book.

The point Im trying to make is one disagreement on a certain policy enough to not vote for a politician? What about the other things you agree with him on ?
Things have weights. Telling you me you are for expanding public transit but are for building it with slave labour isn't going to fly, to use an absurd example.

I mean all of the books had relatively quick culminations. A battle happened, these guys won, closing dialogue. He doesn't go in to much details.
That is fair. I guess the battle where Rakis gets wasted isn't necessary to show (this was a bother to KJA/BH for some reason).

Finished book 6. This one was a bit of a slog. They tried to do a similar narrative to God Emperor, but the issue was that none of the characters where that interesting. What it does do wel l is set up any future plot.
Restarting that now, forgot how much I like Bellonda (BH and KJA's handling and killing her off in their books is a small reason they can both get ****ed). Book 5's ending seemed very rushed.
My paperbacks are indeed shoddy as well, half of book 5 has Paul referred to as Maud'dib, then switches to Muad'Dib. And in book 6 one page has "Honored Matre" replaced by spaces. I get a kick of defective books, favourite example was a Warhammer 40k book that had 6 pages from a different book entirely inserted into it.

I, too, had random back pain yesterday.
Clearly we are being targeted by the Russians.
