Yes I can imagine but I have also seen numerous food channel shows where celebrity chefs eat this fish and they fine with it, they always comment on its smell but they generally positive on the taste or rather they rationale about its taste But also you have to have gastronomic fortitude and experience to eat this type of food, I imagine people who end up vomiting arent very experimental and didnt prepare themselves for the taste of this type of food. About 20 years I changed my eating habits and now I eat everything, except for insects, and I will at least try anything once. For example I love tripe, offal and I eat every part of the animal One day I want to try this dish but we dont get it in SA and no one I know is interested

Where do you live uuhhii?

I am about 25 hours into Fallout 1 and just had an epic battle to free Tandi from the Khans and its an example of why I love this type of CRPG and combat mechanics . It was chaotic and frenetic and I needed to restore several times because I got killed about 5 times before defeating the Khans and freeing her. Also there are several strategies you can use but this was mine I was level 7 with Ian, Dogmeat and Katja in my party. You would assume having companions would always be a combat benefit but they dont always fight logically and sometimes draw aggro outside of my plans or what I instruct them to do. But they still good to use I defeated the Khans outside the tents first using my AK and very useful plasma pistol Then Ian decided to run into the main building by himself while we were fighting outside, he was eventually killed but his sacrifice will he remembered because he seemed to distract most of the main mobs inside the building and they didnt come outside I then used grenades and my AK to defeat the main enemies inside with Dogmeat playing a huge part of the success I found loads of loot and items to sell which is appreciated because I am constantly short of money. But then I had to be selective and leave lots of stuff behind. But the reality of inventory limitation is something I like because it adds to realism and immersion. Now I have finally upgraded my armour And I was down to 4 hp with no Stimpacks when the last Khan died, literally on my last legs of survival. But fun battle and very strategic

https://www.sunnysidecircus.com/countries/sweden/food-drinks-sweden/surstromming/ This is something Nordic I definitely want to try, I have seen it eaten so many times on the food channels and its on my bucket list I imagine this is something that you Nordic members like @xzar_monty, @Azdeus and even @Pidesco ( its common for Portuguese people to eat fish dishes like sardines ) have eaten a lot and its appreciated I know it has an odour to it but that doesnt represent the taste and that applies to most food that has a strong smell like blue cheese. The delicious taste is nothing like the smell @Gfted1 and @ShadySands have you guys heard about this fish dish? Well worth trying if you can get it

I think the offensive is going as well as it can considering the lack of air superiority and how the Ruskies had months to prepare a defensive line which they did effectively I didnt ever expect a quick offensive but Im happy they making progress but these things take time

Why do you think the US wants a traditional war with China? I hear this a lot on Codex but it never really makes sense During the 50 years of the Cold War the likes of The West and USSR and China really hated each other and they didnt go to war and that was because of the reality of nukes and how the risk of MAD was highly likely. Here is good link about the reality of MAD (mutually assured destruction) and its real and it helped prevent a WW3 https://www.britannica.com/topic/mutual-assured-destruction Its fascinating and ironic how views in history change, when Oppenheimer and the US successfully tested the first nuke in WW2 he was deeply conflicted and troubled by what he witnessed around the power of nuclear weapons. He said "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds " because he guessed correctly that the rest of world would also develop nukes and that the superpowers would destroy each other and the rest of the world in the next WW But he was mistaken because the reality of MAD actually stopped a WW3 during the Cold War. So nukes became a deterrent and not the end of the world And that reality still applies today, no real nuclear power will go to war with each because this is still relevant But trade wars and sanctions can and will happen

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66805897 Really interesting development and they used Neptune missiles "Earlier on Thursday, a number of explosions were reported in the Crimean peninsula, which Russia illegally occupied in 2014. According to the BBC's intelligence source, the Ukrainian operation used drones to take out radar equipment, then cruise missiles to hit air defence missile launchers. "After disabling the radar stations, the navy units hit the S300 and S400 'Triumph' systems, worth $1.2bn, by two Neptune cruise missiles," the source said. Neptune missiles were designed by Ukraine's military for naval use but have been modified for ground targets as well"

I dont take this type of article too seriously, they say " As a result of the push, Russia is producing more ammunition than the US and Europe " Yet Putin is meeting with NK to exactly get more ammunition and other military hardware

Do we know it was Storm Shadow missiles?

Thats always good news to find out you are generally healthy Have you started going on your walks again, what exercise do you do?

How many hours you spent on BG3 Wormie?

I completed King Arthur Wargame Druids DLC after about 35 hours, it was worth it and has the best mechanics of the original game and some new features I have really enjoyed my sojourn in the world of RTS and I am seriously considering another one, maybe one of the Kings Bounty? But that will be later, Im playing Fallout 1 next. I have never played this classic and Im looking forward to my return to the Wasteland

SA won it first game yesterday against Scotland, the first-half was uninspirational but we ended up winning 18-3 It was a good first game victory and Scotland is not a team to be taken lightly, our defense was impressive but we missed a few kicks but a win is a win so Im not complaining https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/66768695

Rugby is cyclical for very good teams like the All Blacks SA has been like that often, we lost 2 games in a row to them before beating them on the 25 August. But I consider the All Blacks the most dangerous team for SA so if they get knocked out its good for us. I am glad France won last night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rugby_union_matches_between_New_Zealand_and_South_Africa

I replayed Morrowind about 12 months ago and I loved it, I included some good mods. I enjoyed exploring the Dwemer ruins and fighting the various Daedra I loved the lore found in books and also the various factions that you can join. I think Morrowind has the best narrative of all ES games I have played...it was always creepy meeting Dagoth Ur followers and see the land decline due to the Red Mountain Overall Daggerfall is my favorite ES game and I still havent played Skyrim but I will be, Im just waiting any final, final, final versions to be released because I only have 3 versions of the game and I dont want to miss out on another release

https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2023 Its happening, its real and its starting today Rugby is a hugely popular sport in SA and also one that we really do well in so I cant wait. SA has a good chance of winning Our first game in on Sunday vs Scotland @Zoraptor after getting wiped by SA in the last game I wonder how today is going to go for NZ? France shouldnt be underestimated

Ifs good to see a generally overall positive opinion, they not that common

Starfield has definitely not received the general praise of BG3, I am seeing most reviews giving it 75% or so The general complaint is it offers nothing new compared to ES games and its basically " ES in space " which is what people joked about before the release Im fine with that, I prefer Bethesda sticking to fantasy anyway and for me this means mods, mods and mods will be used when I play this game in about 12 months

I agree, I can name plenty of failed or failing states that are not Democracies so by his argument that must mean autocrats or non-Democratic states are retarded

Melkie what would you think if you came across a development company called " The BruceVC room ", would you make the assumption its eponymous and named after me?

https://www.news24.com/citypress/news/kzn-man-forced-to-skin-a-dead-dog-as-punishment-by-his-chinese-employer-20230905 An absolutely outrageous and appalling story in SA , a Chinese supermarket owner forced a staff member to cut and skin a dog that the Chinese owner was going to have for dinner. He did this as a form of punishment because the employee reported him to our labor department for numerous labor infractions Unions are very angry and they taking legal action against the supermarket owner. This development highlights the continuous problems with Chinese investment in Africa, they dont respect or understand our local laws or culture. I doubt the supermarket owner realized how offensive this " punishment " was but its no excuse

https://www.moneyweb.co.za/financial-advisor-views/following-the-yellow-bric-road/ Interesting read about the reality of BRICS and the well known differences between its member countries. Its hard to believe how you can achieve any meaningful global change in the world when you have such different political and ideological views from its members

No but why would that matter? What does it imply or suggest for you

Hilarious video as usual, she looks cute in the army fatigues I do always find many of the points hard to take seriously but I understand the general message
