Cuba is still there, posing a threat. Any moment, the Cuban navy and military can invade the US (it's a harder sell to claim they have stockpiles of nuclear weapons, as that was sort of what the whole "Cuba Crisis" was about)

We need strong soldiers not smart soldiers (who might refuse illegal orders)!

Well.. Spain make better red wines than France, so there you go. Of course they don't hold a candle to South African red wines, but since they already left the tournament 🍷🥇

Sam Neil. Jurassic Park was great when it was new

Monty Python couldn't have done it better. Who will win this UK by election, Count Bin Face or Nigel Farage? Both are clowns, but one is honest about it.

From the internet which of course makes it true! Joking aside, no idea how reliable Bloomberg is as a source for this guy I tried to make the url link start at the Obsidian part

Bonnie Tyler. A lot of teenage memories suddenly resurfaced 😢

Very Norse... 🍺

You answered your own question (possibly unintentionally) From your link: UPDATE: In a twist to Dring’s report, Jason Schreier is now reporting that Obsidian is NOT one of the at-risk studios at Xbox. “Despite a report this morning, I can confirm that Obsidian is not in negotiations to avoid shutting down. Plenty of details are still up in the air surrounding the layoffs (picture will be clear on Monday) but Xbox is keeping Obsidian, according to people familiar with the situation.”

How many actual wars (not proxy wars) has the Soviet Union waged since WWII? Only Afghanistan springs to mind 🤔

While waiting impatiently for the end of 2027 (Frieren season 3), I passed a bit of time watching more of Konasuba. Got to end of season 2 and began on season 3. Its just awesome 😂 Humour going so low you get a sore back trying to keep up. Love it! (I havene't watched the movies) Stumbled upon another series by accident (the thumbnail caught my eye). Dorohedoro. Interesting post apocalyptic setting. No idea yet if its good or not (only watched first episode of season 1)

I wonder how many people really knows about this company...

I don’t think Iranian nukes has Washington written on them (unlike North Koreas). More likely a counter measure to Israeli nukes Edit: of course a few may deviate off course and “accidentally” hit Riyadh

State of emergency in Boston. The city is running out of beer 😎

My interest in English football is probably limited to how Liverpool will fare under Iraola. I was a bit of a fan when Klopp managed them because their games were always interesting whether winning or losing 😝 Edit under Slot they went from heavy metal football to snooze ball and I lost interest 😞

@BruceVC there is an expectation associated with English teams. Rule of thumb is England invents a sport and a few years later they suck at it. Tennis, badminton, football, rugby, cricket etc Possibly they are a world leader I’m polo but I wouldn’t bet om it 🤔

When money can buy everything including politicians and exemption from rules

I tried for a while, but couldn't find any trustworthy link that wasn't paywalled around the subject, but apparently those many billions of dollars pledged and/or donated to Trumps "peace board" initiative to help rebuilding Gaza hasn't seen a single dollar spent. Not only that, but they are not on any account subject to transparancy nor accountability. This includes 10 billion dollars from the US government. All sent to Trumps personal JP Morgan account. Sounds like the Scott Morrison government, just on a more ambitious scale. ...still looking for usable links...

It's about the corruption in FIFA, that needs to adressed. Infantini is worse than Blatter, so question is how do you go about dismantling FIFA, or at least force a change in management. It's a private corporation, so there ethics is never a concern if it poses a risk to the bottomline. How to force a change in FIFA? The only leverage is money, if you make them irrelevant and hurt their balance sheet, they might be open to suggestions. edit: Qatar 2022 was for me the proverbial drop, that made me really resent FIFA.

Boycotting the FIFA arrangement, not the team 😛

...and this is how a new generation of militant young people grow up 😖 disclaimer: Not exclusively of course, but a contributing factor

I raised an eyebrow when I noticed Australia was part of Asia, where as New Zealand was part of Oceania. Aren't they part of the same regional football organisation (like UEFA for European countries)? Normally I would feel a bit sad, that Denmark isn't in the line up, but this time probably feeling a bit of relief. It saves people having to think about boycotting it or not

Considering the age of the game, the forum is probably not the best place to ask for support anymore I thought about Older Games - Obsidian Entertainment Support But that just links here Maybe try emailing support which would be: support[at]obsidian[dot]net Replaced the [at] and [dot] with @ and . (just to obfuscate the most simple mail havesting bots out there, not fooling the more advanced ones)

Interesting tech news... a copy of googles cloud software running in Europe. European location, German staff. No access for Google or its subsidiaries. https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/news-centre/press-releases/thales-announces-strategic-partnership-google-cloud-launch-new-sovereign Edit: tl;dr; a European version of Google cloud that US authorities have no access to.

Long before the 20th and 21th century, the English were pioneering book burning. An entire edition of the bible met its end on the pyres in 1631. Only a few survived and are valuable collectors items today. All because of one little typo. https://collections.museumofthebible.org/artifacts/6196-the-wicked-bible?theme=collections-highlights The typo? They left out the word 'not' in the 7th commandment (Thou shalt not commit adultery). It slipped past the proof readers too.
