This. A reason why plastic cards may become more user friendly than cash. Especially when grocery shopping...

One of the selling points of the original for me, was the soundtrack by Queen. Disclaimer, I haven't seen the reboot, not even a trailer, so no idea if the music is any good. There was something charming about Christopher Lambert speaking English with a French accent, pretending to be a Scot 😆

I don't normally watch tv, but then I noticed there was Netflix available. One particular series caught my eye, because I saw the first episode of first season of Lucifer years ago. Now catching up on season 1. It's just fun 😁

Who needs Creutzfeldt-Jakob when you have social media to do the job more effectively?

You mean, like lower the cost of living, more manufacturing jobs, getting inflation under control, making America great again and other lies? Edit: After all, it comes from the mouth of one heroes who survived 9/11 while staring death in the face!

One of the benefit of getting old. Unlike the time of the cold war (when i was young), I no longer care if the world implodes. Been there, seen it. Bring in the next one please 😂 Of course, those who still expect to live a long time yet, might get a bit peeved if it suddenly becomes uninhabitable 🤔

Which means cutting all trade relations with 100+ countries. Pol Pot would've been so proud 🥲

Started watching something called Girls last Tour. Not fast, not furious, not sure what it is.... except interesting, which seems to be good enough for me. Slight Chibi version of Nier Automata vibes maybe?

You didn't mention which game? For now, I've moved it to the grounded 2 technical issues section. If it's a different game, please just say so and I'll move it there. The developers (and other players) check different sections for game specific bugs and nobody really checks the Obsidian General section for game specific issues.

Binge watched a few Anime that had been on my to-do list for a long time and catching up some of my youtube subscriptions. While I am not much of a WH40k these days, I remember that I used to be one. Wondering which type I was?... 🫣

The US debt illustrated in two different ways The time line one per also gives some pointers to why the debt rose (unlike the debt per president which conveniently glosses over which factors caused it to rise) https://www.us-debt-clock.com/debt-history The next one, per president gives less details other than whoever was the incumbent that term and which party had the presidency (no explanation for why money was needed, like Reagans tax break for the rich or Covid etc.) https://www.us-debt-clock.com/presidents

An Imperial Guardsman can always dream, right? 🥰 Speaking of Adeptus Sororitas, they do seem to be a bit of a fan favourite among song writers

That sounds familiar. West Australia has the same idea, they would be better off without the rest of Australia. As if the mining and fossil fuel companies that creates no jobs and pay no taxes (they all operate on the privatize the profits, socialize the costs principle) would benefit an independent West Australia 🤣

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.
