Holy crap, sales of the aluminum bat are up a staggering 6,541%! Awesome. Now the UK police are REALLY outmatched.

Deus Ex 3
Seems kinda silly to me to incorporate present day ads into a game set several decades into the future.

They should just disable cellular services for a few days. That will take the wind out of their sails.

London Riots
This reminds me of 1989. I was a fresh faced sailor deployed to my first duty station, USS Enterprise, when a few of us decided to go to Berkley (California). Well it just so happened that it was the anniversary of some bum getting shot by police in a place called Peoples Park and in the span of minutes to whole place blew up into a riot. Were talking overturned police cars, fires, etc... I distictly remember standing on a street corner eating a piece of pizza and watching a few rioters try to hold up a piece of plywood in an unsuccessful attempt to block a fire truck water cannon. It was wild. Whats the point of this story? None. Hope everything turns out alright.

Investors now see Australia as a better place to invest than the USA or Germany.
"Operating in the black" was a poor choice of terms, I should have said operating within budget. With that out of the way its good to see a few competent agencies. Unfortunately, most of the big ones are deeply flawed and probably wont be around when I become eligible. Social Security? check Medicare/Medicade? check Also, I was shocked to see Enoch report that the Post Office turned a profit. Every article Ive read stated they are hemorrhaging billions per year, may need to cut delivery to 3 times a week and propose closing 3700 post offices across the country. Nice to see they rebounded since last week.

Random video game news.
I dont understand, how would pirating D3 get you around the internet connection issue? Sure, you get the game for free but you still have to log onto Battle.net to play.

What are you playing now?
Started playing DS3. Playing the mage, currently only level two and getting my blood punched out by Vera (?) the swamp witch. On casual.

Bomb and shooting in Norway
Care to elaborate? As everyone is aware, the US is almost entirely comprised of immigrants. Im not aware of any group specifically singled out as not being alowed entry.

Favorite cities
^It was really eye opening. See for the most part, where ever a carrier battle group pulls into for shore leave on a regular basis, the locals tolerate 5000 sailors streaming off the boat to defile their town because we dumped a lot of coin. In Chile, the locals loved us just because we were American (and probably because we were the first carrier there in 20 years or something so we hadnt worn out our welcome yet, lol). They lined the piers where the liberty boats would pull in and waved and cheered. I remember a nice couple, upon seeing my friends and I struggling to read a Spanish language menu got up from their meal and came over to help us order...then bought us drinks! Oh, and the women are drop dead gorgeous. Great country, I highly recommend it.

For me, that city was Santiago Chile. The people were so incredibly nice that the suspicious side of me kept waiting to get shanked in the ribs.

What you did today?
Huh, I thought mental health care was free in the UK. Tigranes, for the best coverage go with AT&T but Im not sure how they stack up price wise. Cant be more than a few dollars +/- either way.

Vampire is one of the buffs that can be found on weapons (like fire, electricity, poison) that will steal life from whatever you hit and give it to you.
