From Gorths nostalgia corner, one of the few things better than Rammstein. Queen...

Happy Birthday KP... a few more decades and you'll be an adult ... (said the guy who could be your dad)

I probably posted most of the Rammstein songs of decent recording quality I could find (either here or mostly in the heavy metal threads), so here is some Rammstein cover

Meh, amateurs.... Is this all you can conjure Saruman?

I wasn't really concerned about their human rights records... other countries have spotted history there too. I was just thinking along the lines of first they invaded Tibet, then they made claims on Hong Kong (having already seized Macau), the entire sea area all the way down to Malaysia (territorial claims that are beyond ridiculous). Now they are throwing they weight around way south, staking out claims on Antarctica, islands around Papua-New Guinea, encroaching on Australian territorial waters by building a naval base smack in the middle. Eventually... that attitude you know, peace in hour time etc. it wont work.

If China keeps throwing its weight around, it will eventually get to the point where the Sudetenland isn't enough.

You sick bastard! Get well soon Katphood. And may your dad stay safe.

Still working my way through my old DVD's, cataloguing them as I go through them (just an Excel list for now, I never actually had a list of my movies). 150 titles added so far and still lots to go. Found two duplicates, Finding Nemo and Cry Baby. Going to give those to a friend. Also found two movies that I decided to rewatch, both of them old Peter Jackson movies from back when he still made good movies. "Bad Taste" and "Braindead"

Ah those dang doctors creating a bit more work for themselves... so that's how it works On a serious note, hope you're Ok Gromnir and it's "just" a flu. As if that's not bad enough at times. All the best mate

He always seemed a bit of a fanboy of people like Kim and Putin. Probably envious of the power they hold over their people. He did grease increase spending, pull troops home, pardon murderers, reinstate people that had no business being in the military etc. in an attempt to stay on the good side of the military though, didn't he?

Well, Pfizer used to be best known for Viagra

It is Edit: Started on season 2 now

I know it's not a race between countries, who can stick a needle in as many people in as short as time as possible, but some interesting trends still showing up. I guess it shows which countries has its citizens as its first priority? Also, seriously, wth France? this is inefficiency at its worst or what??? "In the first three days of its vaccination campaign, which launched on 27 December, France inoculated fewer than 100 people. In comparison, Germany had given more than 130,000 vaccines by the end of December. " https://www.bbc.com/news/world-55514243

Some of it. Hard to avoid when watching related/suggested youtube videos. I know that Daenerys, Cersei and most others will be dead at the end of season 8. But much of the detail is still for me to explore between the beginning and the end. Almost done with episode 8 now. Two more episodes left of first season and I really like it so far. Favourite character at the moment? Probably a toss up between Arya and Eddard Stark. The first for being a spirited character and the latter for at least trying to do "the right thing". Honourable mention to Petyr Baelish and Varys for being some very, very interesting characters.

Since I bought that big box of Game of Thrones, i suppose I better get started watching it... Episode 3 so far (first season)

Other people's mileage may vary (and probably does), but apart from a family members failing health (non covid related), 2020 was actually a damn good year for me. So no complaints about the old year from here. Happy New Year everyone. May 2021 be a good year

Still digging through my old dvd collection now that I got most of the boxes shipped from Europe opened... ended up watching Sam Raimi's "Drag me to Hell" tonight. Good fun. Sort of comedy, sort of horror, sort of something else. A bit over the top humor like Evil Dead III

An interesting report from PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) on the world in 2050: Top 10 economies in 2050, according to PwC’s The World in 2050 report 1. China 2. India 3. US 4. Indonesia 5. Brazil 6. Russia 7. Mexico 8. Japan 9. Germany 10. UK Key findings from PwC website: https://www.pwc.com/world2050 I would have loved some estimated figures in an easy to view place though. The figures are there in graphs, but... meh, I'm not an economist. When the trillions are flying around, it becomes too abstract for me to comprehend. How many Big Macs was that again?

You seem to have experienced this differently from Jessie Pridemoor, you claim to know the events better than her? “He was fired from Obsidian shortly after. I only told a few people. He would message me periodically to tell be my new photos were sexy or whatever. I blocked him from everything,” Closing this thread here, but I would recommend reading EveryThorn's link for the details.

Not quite hardcore, but I did play a *lot* of SSI's "Battlecruiser" (C64 version) in 2020

But... but... how can you be a real American if you can't eat peanut butter?

I would seriously need someone to translate the "me now:" part to understand it. It's worse than Aussie slang

I'm sure Dr. Mengele would disagree. The Swedish government sort of tried the herd immunity approach. It failed miserably and they ended up becoming the pariahs of the Nordic countries with the highest infection rates and number of deaths (with nothing to show for it other than their neighbors closing their borders to them)
