The loss of knowledge is interesting to me. Sure, the understanding of a one of one device like the Mechanism could be lost to the sands of time, but presumably the recipe for Roman concrete would have been common knowledge to thousands of workers who would just mix and pour it on site over the centuries? Nobody wrote it down anywhere?

The I-Land E1 Goddamn that was bad, and thats coming from a guy thats pretty easy to entertain.

Youre going to fail your next urine test.

^^Maybe try a Cadillac. Like riding in a land yacht.

Is it wearing a "backpack" that helps carry stuff?

Blue Beetle Poor mans Iron Man. Leave the World Behind It was meh, I guess. For me it fails by leaving too much ambiguity.

Ah bummer. Thanks for taking the bullet. 👍

Maybe its a European thing? Past bogeymen never die? I dont know a single soul that was alive during WW2 and Im old as hell. Yeah, it sounds like the Cambodians are still all jacked up. 25% population loss due to murders, even more fleeing to Thailand or Vietnam. Tough to recover from that. I mean, not for me, because I dont live there, but tough nonetheless.

Its interesting to me that people get upset about things that happen in foreign lands and/or before their birth. But now that I think about it, I still cant get right about that rat bastard Attila the Hun so I dont have room to talk.

Iirc, the only movie King ever directed was Maximum Overdrive.

Has anyone here played Dragonheir: Silent Gods (Dragonheir: Silent Gods | Download and Play for Free - Epic Games Store)? Opinions?

Whats the Kissinger - Bourdain beef? Hahaha, I kill me.

Im a bit confused. If a country cant accept unlimited immigration, and also cant consolidate the immigrants into concentration camps while they figure out what to do with them, then what is the solution?

The Netherlands allocates 42% of there GDP on social benefits and scored in the top 10 in Healthcare, Education and Judiciary (gov-at-a-glance-2021-netherlands.pdf (oecd.org)). So surely they can absorb unlimited immigration?

Did you have to complete a quest to get your character horns to sprout between pictures 2 & 3, or just a janky rendering?

Now my home page banner is a rainbow of Great Jones dutch ovens. Honestly though I liked all the colors except taffy.

Of course that would never happen, but the point was, theres never really "negotiation" when one side has the other in a choke hold. Then that side has no choice but to accept whatever scraps are offered. "A good compromise is when both parties are disappointed".

The immediate and complete disarmament of Israel would be a good start.
