Just wondering if we're getting close to the point where US presidential elections justifies its own thread?

...and Flamme the Legendary Mage from Frieren

Isn't one of their pet peeves, that Americans needs more guns to protect democracy against usurpers threatening it? Could argue it almost worked.

Now I feel like pork wings with hot sauce

Is it possible, that there is just more stuff added to what passes as “food” these days, than there used to be?

Oldies but goodies...

Uh huh…

Sitting at the departure gate in Copenhagen airport waiting for my flight home. Arghhh… I hate long haul flights

Binge watched Wednesday... loved it. Just my kind of humour

I wonder if that difference is a difference in quality or a difference in time zones? Being a GMT+1 kid living in a GMT+10 adult (and lived for a few years in GMT+12 too), I'm painfully aware of the effects of time zones...

I thought North Koreans spent their entire lives practicing conformity?

Managed to squeeze in the two Dune movies on the flight to Singapore. Not sure what to think of it (I haven’t read the books). It reminded me of a Moebius comic, except his stories are usually more internally consistent

Unless they are looking to build naval bases on Africas west coast, it’s hard to see how it would be worth the investment of resources for Russia. Propaganda? Prestige points? Ego boosting? edit unless they’re trying to pull a “Xi” on the country and strip mine it before abandoning it again

Boob plate I can live with in a pinch. I don’t mind sacrificing real world physics for a bit of “aesthetics”. Chain mail bikinis not so much. Just too silly. Anyway, sitting in the airport at the moment and waiting for my plane. Next stop Singapore then Copenhagen. Going to enjoy a few weeks in Europe

Heh, the internet is full of it. Finally showing his true colours and why Putin and Xi are his idols... finally doing away with that pesky democracy is going to be what his supporters are voting for. Showing his true lack of class with his "taking a bullet for democracy" statement. Besides lacking class, also lacking in truth. The only one who took a bullet for "democracy" was the maga cultist that got killed, all trump did was finally getting within earshot of a disagreeing Republican.

A UK export that was played a lot during my younger years. I never had any of her records (not sure why really), but the radios (over)compensated for that I suppose...

It would be interesting to follow shark meat prices the next couple of months

To be fair "the system" usually came with some specific goals as well as a time limit (typically 6 months or until crisis resolved, whichever one happened first). If needed for more than 6 months, it would have to be bestowed by the senate again for another period up to 6 months...

Just submitted my tax return. I usually don't mind doing that. For one, it's easy with little detail to fill out manually and two, the calculator says business as usual, getting a couple of thousand back (Australian dollars) edit: I consider 20 minutes spent to get $2000 time well spent

Nah, this one looks less linear

Tl;dr; they want *you* to do what they say, not what they do....

CrowdStrike is the Boeing of software companies?

Also an important part of a number of amino acids. It may smell rotten, but life as we know it wouldn’t be around without those proteins relying on it

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et Apparently some cybersecurity package has decided that Windows is malware and tries forcefully to remove it… all over the world. Affecting everything from cloud hosting over airlines to scheduled surgeries and tv stations There have been reports suggesting that a cybersecurity company called Crowdstrike, which produces antivirus software, issued a software update that has gone horribly wrong and is bricking Windows devices - prompting the so-called "blue screen of death" on PCs.

You’re laughing, but a Danish comedian once got elected on promises of more tailwind for bicyclists and free Nutella on the school kids lunch meals. He was shell shocked when he realised he had to spend the next few years in parliament. Not just as a faceless pm, but that one crucial vote needed in a hung parliament to get legislation through
