  1. It depends on what you mean by relatively little. I wouldn't say ~$100 million per day is relatively little. The US likely won't spent as much on supporting a foreign war as they do on their own military activities.
  2. Is it just me or does anybody else get a "creepy stare" feel from the cut scene dialogues? 3.2 seconds, people.
  3. This is a fundamentally incorrect analysis in so many ways. The West can't intervene directly because of the likelihood of nuclear escalation. Ukraine had the resources to fight this war without Western aid, but having that aid has made the defense more effective. Getting the Ukraine army equipped and trained up to western standards won't happen overnight; it will probably take a year or more. Meanwhile, I'd expect the goal of the West is to create a stable outcome. If that means giving Russia a bloody nose so they think twice before invading again, then so be it. If it takes an extended guerrilla war lasting a decade, well that will be up to the two sides to resolve.
  4. Suicide rates didn't increase during pandemic Well, at least there's one piece of good news. Too bad it wasn't true of domestic violence.
  5. Tastes vary I suppose. I read pretty fast and only one of the puzzles was particularly annoying. But you get that in many similar games.
  6. Owlcat games are far from perfect, but they're good enough to pour 100 hours into each game. Perfect is the enemy of good. I am glad to see somebody tackling a tactical RPG in this setting. Some day perhaps we'll even see one for WFRP.
  7. NYC Cancer Trial Delivers ‘Unheard-of' Result: Complete Remission for Everyone
  8. The ‘Benjamin Button’ effect: Scientists can reverse aging in mice. The goal is to do the same for humans This research is both intriguing and rather scary. When the immortality drugs become available, will the current rulers and wealthy stay on top forever? I'm picturing Putin and Trump here, for example, as eternal despots.
  9. Is it true the S*x Pistols will be holding a concert in her honor? How noble of them.

  11. The whole thing just felt like a train wreck. Winners were declared, but nobody won. I'm not sure any useful conclusions can be drawn, other than some people should pick more suitable partners. I tried not to follow it too closely.
