"Why me?"... not sure how I get into these situations. The granddaughter of one of my dads friends is on a trip to Australia (amongst other countries) and she realized her budget was no good, living abroad is (surprise!) more expensive than when at home, benefiting from your own place, your own network etc. She asked me (because my dads friend gave her my phone no.) if I knew of any work (part time, whatever) she could do to make funds last a bit longer, but told her it's not a good idea. Before you get on the plane to the last country to visit, immigration will put you on a plane back to Denmark right away if you get caught. Offering the next best solution, she can stay at my place for a while, get food and a roof over her head for a couple of weeks at no cost. Yeah, going to get stuck for a while with a girl that is barely more than a third of my age 😖

They are announcing... Nothing?

An approach that worked very well for me the last 30 years 👍 Get the second best on the market and use it until it's obviously obsolete. It gives me a number of "golden years" where it's close to state of the art at half the price of state of the art. Also, except my Alienware laptop, I've built every PC myself, cherry picking what parts I wanted.

I play X-Wing (and Tie Fighter etc.) with my old Saitek x52 pro. Works like a charm (and yes, it's USB)

@BruceVC might remember this young lady.... I used to follow her blog, describing life in the far east of Russia before the war. War happened and she decided that Moscow sucks and left Russia to settle in Georgia (the country, not the US state). I was curious what she has been up to the last year..

And the band played on...

But... but... he's fighting for international market shares and unrestricted access to US products. It's all for benefit of domestic shareholders! 😁 No, it's not a better reason than nationalism

Reading the fox news comments section is an experience. Like, the inside of a Monty Python skit kind of experience, with the surreal factor turned to max. It shows you things about humanity, you wish you didn't know...

Split off from previous thread... I wonder how much this whole Unity debacle is going to affect Obsidian and their games. Time to dust off the Onyx engine again? I wo

More game news this way...

Omg I loved those sandwiches with mackerel in tomato sauce when I was living in Denmark

I would worry about my bicycle exploding shortly after start 😝

I wonder how important the choice of a vice president candidate is for the voters? Odds are increasing every day, that neither main candidate will last a full term.

Not pictures per se, unless you count "moving pictures". Just my wvw guild and I having fun in Guild Wars 2 (it's large scale pvp, pitting large player groups against each other). Not my video, but a guildie does recordings and put on her youtube channel every now and then. I do have to mute the "music" though, it drives me nuts! The banter in voice chat is so much better 😄

I saw the longer clip a while back. It was interesting. Regardless whether you agree with it or not, interesting

What the heck happened to The All Blacks??? edit: you turn your back n them for a moment (20 years) and this is what they turned into?

I’ll rephrase his position a bit… in a democratic system you get the government you deserve

Pave the path for Trump Jr, so the office remains in family hands? Has happened before in politics 🤷‍♂️

JuiceMedia takes on Canada and it's war against its indigenous people...

I've been watching some Level 1 Demon and one room hero... yes, it's unapologetic fan service and exactly what I needed to cheer up. Caught myself laughing out loud at times, because the sometimes over the top humour just appeals to me. Yeah, shoot me, it's funny as heck 😝
