  1. Good on you, less bread is less carbs. Its healthier
  2. It was predicted this outcome from some of the Bolsonaro supporters, they cant accept the reality of losing The instability will get less and his supporters will have to accept it, what are the alternatives? I cant see civil war occuring in Brazil. Protests and anger but not civil war?
  3. Thats such a good read and excellent news for the EU , here is the same link outside the FT https://internationalaffairs.co/the-end-of-europes-energy-crisis-is-in-sight/ Best part of the article " It goes without saying that the tumbling cost of gas was neither Putin’s intention nor the consensus expectation when the Russian president weaponised European gas supplies during the summer. At the time, sector specialists expected wholesale prices to shoot higher and industry was worried. The voice of German industry, the BDI, warned of a “massive recession”. It was economists who came closest to understanding the likely effect of Putin’s energy aggression; people and industries tend to respond to price incentives so they predicted that consumption was likely to fall " Putin must be seething, his gas blackmail has really failed and created new avenues for the EU to find new markets
  4. Im about 15 hours into Exanima and 13 hours of that was learning how combat works in the arena. I moved onto the main game when I defeated all the enemies in the arena under Novice First impressions, its by far the most realistic and exciting combat I have ever encountered in any game. Learning the physics of movement and combat swings and watching enemies groan and die has been very rewarding Its a hard game, I am only on level 1 of the dungeon and Im still learning new things around effective combat movement now that I face enemies outside of humans. I dont like how your red health doesnt restore itself but from what I read thats part of what makes it a hard game and challenging? But so far so good, I will give further updates once I have progressed further in the main game
  5. Raithe are people still wearing masks in these types of indoors events?
  6. Photos of hot booth babes and Cosplay people?
  7. Why are there so many people in Oz who want to destroy the earth? Its like many of your politicians. Remember Morrison, he didnt care about the planet either?
  8. We all know who is blame, its you anarchists because you want chaos Its time to admit it Gorthfuscious
  9. Well done for the Brazilian people and their enthusiasm around these elections Democracy has spoken, now is the time to accept these results and start fixing the social and economic problems in Brazil Bolsonaro will have another chance in a few years
  10. Lexx are you sure the reason you dont like him is because you resent his wealth and his political views? It might be subconscious and you not aware of its influence and bias?
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/south-african-arrested-in-usa-for-his-role-in-a-bizarre-murder-plot/ar-AAWSk7V One of my SA cousins married a Greek lady, this is her brother involved in this bizarre murder in Ohio. I never met him because I never went to the wedding He is going to charged with murder and the wife and the gran is involved
  12. Im sorry I dont get it and I dont know either of those people. I looked them up and I still dont a get it, a producer and a game designer? And Im not a banker, much of my family are. I studied finance but I work in software that is used primarily in the financial sector. We consult and sell this software but we also have customers outside of finance like lawyers and government institutions so I dont just work in one sector
  13. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/companies/musk-finally-reveals-why-he-wants-to-acquire-twitter/ar-AA13s5Sd Musk gave an important update to his advertisers about his plans for Twitter, to quote " “The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence,” writes the world’s richest man " @Lexx and @ShadySands This makes sense as Im sure you will agree?
  14. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-suspends-participation-deal-ukraine-grain-exports-tass-2022-10-29/#:~:text=Oct 29 (Reuters) - Russia on Saturday suspended,"purely outrageous" and said it would increase starvation Yes the Ruskies are weaponizing famine again and like before the most impoverished countries in Africa and the ME will suffer
  15. http://www.izakayamatsuri.com/ We went to this brilliant, authentic Japanese sushi restaurant last night called Izakaya Matsuri , do you know it takes 10-30 years in Japan to master the techniques of sushi making!!! Imagine spending 30 years learning how to perfect something, that takes serious commitment and belief in what you doing https://chefzoeescher.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-sushi-chef-in-japan/ I love Sushi, its always so different and I love the variety of different tastes. And its lower in fat than meat and good for you when you dieting, I had deep fried pork dumplings for a starter and Rainbow roll for my main and my sister and stepmom gave me several pieces of there sushi and crab starters. I love eating with women, they seem to feel guilty about eating there whole meal and I always seem to score
  16. Absolutely cowardly and unacceptable attack on an elderly person, they must throw the book at him and I hope he sees a long period of incarceration
  17. Fair enough but there still seems to be more banning of Conservative views. Its not me that is saying this, Musk is the one saying Twitter needs to be freed https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-sends-special-message-after-twitter-takeover?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO&yptr=yahoo The thing about life is " perception is reality" and many people have said there is inconsistent monitoring of peoples comments on Twitter. To quote Musk "One of Musk's big complaints about Twitter is that the tweet inhibits the expression of all opinions " Now people say Musk likes to troll and is just being controversial. But he just spent $44 billion to stand by what he clearly believes. Maybe we should accept there is problem with Twitter if someone is prepared to spend that much money to change things ?
  18. Why dont you like platforms they allow freedom of speech? We cant control the extreme comments from either the left or right but we dont have be part of it which I can guarantee you no one on this forum is. But to shut down these mediums is worse than than the extreme comments IMO?
  19. Of people being banned or of the left being allowed to say what they want?
  20. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/elon-musk-officially-closes-twitter-011027946.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Musk takeover of Twitter is completed and his had fired 4 executive He is also likely to restore Trumps account which I support. We have to be consistent on what we consider freedom of speech is and the problem with banning Trump is it fed the right wing hyperbolic narrative that " freedom of speech is under attack" in the US Also there does seem to be more Conservatives that get banned on Twitter for spreading fake news yet you dont see people on the left and there fake news or revisionist history being banned So I support Twitter going back to its original purpose, a place of free speech for everyone. People will believe what they want to believe but these types of SM platforms need to be neutral. Hate speech wont be allowed " Musk also promised that Twitter would not turn into a “free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!” which is reassuring
  21. This makes accurate points and highlights some of the absurd outcomes of changing R vs W
  22. Yes I agree but the point is the ships are idle because of logistics problems like limited capacity to serve ships or storage capacity But your post suggested the ships are idle because they can make more money waiting to sell on future market. But they not idle because they holding back on purpose to make more money. They idle because of capacity to serve ships?
  23. Yes but if there is no storage capacity then ships also have to sit idle. So lets not promote " evil, greedy, Capitalist companies " conspiracy theories Thats the reason ships are sitting idle
  24. Yes the article mentions that. What I have found interesting about the whole gas potential crisis in the EU is how relatively quickly the EU was able to mitigate the Russian blackmail and obvious deliberate attempt to throttle gas to the likes of Germany and other countries using Russian gas On Codex you had these Vatniks celebrating how " EU citizens were going to freeze to death " due to lack of gas and high prices but the response from the EU has been effective and it should be recognized Its a good thing to be part of the EU, despite its problems it offers more advantages than disadvantages
  25. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/26/energy/europe-natural-gas-prices-plunge/index.html Putins attempt to use energy blackmail really has become an epic failure, our EU friends wont be freezing to death because of gas prices
