I finished season 3 of Konosuba. My face still hurts from grinning 😆 Between Jaadugar and wasiting for the end of 2027, I ended up binge watching Black Lagoon (season 1 & 2). What an awesome show. Just up my alley. It's like Michael Bay the anime (for some reason I kept thinking of Borderlands when I watched it, non-stop over the top violence and deadpan humour) 😝 I still need to watch Roberta's Blood Trail 🤔 There are way more clips from season 2 for some reason. As usual, I prefer the original language (which is what I watched, not the English DUB)

That's based on the assumption, that Tonga and Samoa would pass the money on to local football (and various leaders not pocketing the money themselves). New Zealand is not known for corruption, or at least it wasn't those 3 years I lived there.

So... they discovered dyed glass? 😄 Just kidding, there is a bit more to it. No practical application as far as I could see, but the discovery of properties is like the Lego bricks other research builds upon 👍

Finished season 3 of Konosuba. I do like it when my face hurts afterwards from grinning ☺️ Currently watching something completely unrelated, started on a series called Jaadugar: A witch in Mongolia. It was probably the atypical (for me) art style that first caught my eye, but now I follow the story. A Persian girl kidnapped and kept by by the Mongolians as a slave at the time of Genghis Khan and his sons.

I fell a bit in love with this channel, Chibi-Hammer, not long ago, as I was searching information about an interesting Horus Heresy character. Lotara Sarrin of the World Eaters (only woman to shoot a World Eater captain in the face with her pistol and live to tell the tale). She is still commanding The Conqueror (Angron's flagship) ten thousand years later in the 40th millennium. Shown using cute graphics and the channel is a little cornucopia of lore for the setting (WH30K being what i was looking for) Other videos includes how the galaxy would have turned out if Malcador had had his way and some of the primarchs had been created as girls, who was most at fault for the heresy, the settings time line etc.

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 😛
