Yes, the fishing is loads of fun and I enjoy the whole economy around the fishing. I end up making fishing decisions using the Encyclopedia and seeing how I can make the most money Its a entertaining game and it provided the perfect way for me to disconnect from the last 450 hours of completing the 2 Pathfinder games So great recommendation, well done Melkie

That probably explains it because he came across as sincere and avuncular But he got asked a strange question, apparently an Austrian journalist said to him " why he was visiting a country with human rights violations against minorities." " Speaking through an interpreter, van der Bellen gave this short answer. "Yes, we discussed that it is absolute nonsense. If you can please communicate that to colleagues in the Freedom Party [of Austria]." https://www.ewn.co.za/2025/07/04/austrian-president-says-suggestions-that-white-south-africans-human-rights-being-violated-absolute-nonsense Which has to do with whole exaggeration around ''white genocide", I didnt think this was still something anyone really discussed anymore , even in SA we have moved on from the media and public interest in this Is this still something that is discussed in Austria as far as you aware? Maybe its right-wing groups that raise this -

https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/austria-valued-partner-south-africa-president-ramaphosa @majestic I see there was a cordial visit from your President to South Africa and it was very well received, he doesnt seem very Nazi? " During a media briefing following officials talks between the two countries, President Ramaphosa reflected on the central-European country’s contribution to the fight against apartheid. “Your Excellency, it’s an honour to have you here and I welcome you to South Africa. This is the first time that an Austrian Head of State has visited democratic South Africa. “In our official talks, we took the opportunity to thank the Austrian people for their support during our struggle for democracy. “We believe that this solidarity they pledged to the people of South Africa as they struggled against apartheid has laid a firm basis for our bilateral cooperation. “Your visit marks a new chapter for the relations between Austria and South Africa, as we seek to deepen investment and trade between our two countries,” President Ramaphosa said.

https://apnews.com/article/russia-afghanistan-formally-recognize-taliban-3932240270463715f0338c0812cbe5a8 Russia becomes the first country to formerly recognize the Taliban Very progressive move, maybe Afghanistan should join BRICS because thats all about a better and fairer world and the Taliban represent that vision -

Can I make a suggestion, rather be honest and say you dont like Trump? The impression you create is that you like and support Trump and then I read a post like this and it comes across as you actually dont like Trump? Most people wont mind if you admit you dont like Trump, honesty is sometimes the best policy -

I could incorporate your opinions into the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system" ? Think about it " The BruceVC and Melkie game rating system" The real consideration is are you prepared for all that fame and prestige ?

It still has to pass another vote in the House And the Senate vote was very close, 50-50 so Vance voted https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyzzzdj15vo You can see with these types of razor-thin Congressional outcomes how important control of Congress is -
