Plenty of countries have had multiple civil wars.

No, it's about Warhammer fantasy, also Games Workshop, but different universe. Creative Assembly - the Total War guys - have never made a 40k game.

The problem is time. Trump doesn't need any more criminal charges to send him to jail, he just needs the courts to finish doing their job, which takes time.

Doom (1993) took place on both moons FYI. Episode 1 was Phobos and episode 2 was Deimos.

If you think the Falklands should be part of Argentina, logically Hawaii should be part of Kiribati. Alaska should be Russian/Canadian, etc etc. If you think about it for more than a minute it becomes clear that geographical location is not the only factor or even the most important one.

31% of the population of Switzerland are non-Swiss residents without voting rights.

He also receives gifts worth literally millions of dollars per year. We're talking super yacht cruises, travelling via private jets, drinking $1000 bottles of wine. And he claims all those gifts don't affect his impartiality in any way, even when he's ruling over cases that directly affect his billionaire "friends".

Problems like this are just handwaved away because nuclear waste could in theory be safely disposed of. In the cases where is hasn't been the pro nuclear guys just say "well if they did it properly it wouldn't be an issue", which might be true but if countries like the UK, US and Germany have had issues, you have to ask if its really realistic to assume that the problem will always be dealt with properly.

The other answer is some future tech reactor that hasn't been built on any real world scale that runs on nuclear waste and produces none. Great idea in theory but how does it compare with renewables in terms of cost?

Huh, like in ancient Rome. Nothing wrong with banging boys, but utterly shameful to be on the receiving end.

New sun.

A cup of coffee also has about 2g of fibre, which is actually quite a lot in the context of the average American diet of highly processed food. IIRC the average American only eats about 15g of fibre per day - which is fucking terrible BTW.

They have signs for every hazard, but i though by far the scariest read "Fire season is coming, do you have your escape plan prepared?".

The problem is that calling it sexual assault doesn't make it clear that he penetrated her with his penis without consent. The only reason it's not "rape" is that it wasn't a criminal trial.

Also on gog.

Imagine if we had national bodies developing drugs to treat health problems rather than private companies developing drugs to make as much money as possible.

Commander in Chief.

This is no joke. I had a cheap usb-c cable catch fire when plugged into my laptop.

And since the school is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, there’s not really any other use of the sidewalks either…

As a European, this statement sounds completely insane. I honestly can not comprehend how a nation got to the point of saying "we don't need to be able to walk somewhere from our house so lets not bother building sidewalks".

You and your daughter should cycle to school though. If she's not old enough to go on her own bike, take her with a trailer bike. If she's too young for that then a child seat, and when she's old enough she can cycle on her own.

The idea of using a car to go 900m is just crazy to us.

Don't Starve probably isn't the first thing you'd think of but it does fit quite well.

Yes, that's what hybrids are, a hybrid between an electric and combustion engine car, I.e. they have both.

To put it another way, imagine your blood pressure meds are preventing you from going out and getting a girlfriend. You & your doctor are going to be seriously considering whether or not the health benefit of that drug outweighs the side effects, and if there's another treatment option worth trying that might have better overall outcomes.

Does it still requiring logging into EA to play?

Goldeneye just isn't a very good game. It was one of the best fps games on the N64 so if all you've got is an N64 you're going to think it's amazing. But other games have done much better what it tried to do so today it feels clunky and bad. Contrast to something like Doom which still holds up today because that style of gameplay hasn't been massively improved on.

There's 5 years between elections unless the ruling party calls one early so a pm resigning doesn't help but calling an election early and winning does. We're still on the clock from Johnson's 2019 landslide win - which he called 3 years early because they were way ahead in the polls. Truss and Sunak didn't call early elections because they already had a big majority and would probably lose seats.

Plus pushing formula milk in places where clean drinking water isn't a given is pretty supportive of spreading disease in infants.

For a family of 5, a station wagon is more practical than an SUV or a truck. For a family of 6+, a minivan is the better choice. For people who need to haul a lot of stuff, a van is the best option. Americans just have an unhealthy obsession with massive vehicles and trucks. The only time an SUV or truck is the better option is when driving off-road. And that only applies to SUVs and trucks that are actually designed to be driven off-road, which is a small minority.

I'm so glad I went back and finished it recently. The MQ story is really good. I put on a mod to make magicka regenerate like in later games and played a straight mage, eventually crafting rings to be able to jump around town super fast and another to cross the continent.

No they aren't. They have similar wealth to other Caribbean nations, being richer than places like Jamaica and Haiti but poorer than Trinidad or the Dominican Republic. In global terms they rank 83rd, so above average, and they have a relatively high development index, I.e. pretty good health care and education. They might seem poor to you, but they're actually richer than most of world.

I guess I'm feeling poorly...

No it means instead of review bombing a game, you reinstall bomb it to cost the publisher a load of money.

The conflict is a pr

EVs are still much cheaper to run than ICEs though. Yes the battery is an expensive replacement but maintenance is still much cheaper because they don't have gearboxes, clutches, turbo chargers, catalytic converters, particulate filters, spark plugs, engine oil, timing belts, head gaskets, cylinders, exhausts, etc. etc.

I'm finding it a bit underwhelming to be honest. It was so hyped, but it just feels like Dark Souls 4. I don't find the open world really adds a lot apart from a lot of empty space filled with crafting components. The worlds in souls and sekiro were so carefully crafted and put together and I feel like the open world ruins that a bit. I guess after Sekiro did something similar but significantly different, I was expecting Elden Ring to be a bit more innovative. If I hadn't already played the hell out of the three Dark Souls games I might enjoy Elden more. I'll probably still beat it though and might change my opinion by the end - I certainly hated Sekiro and Dark Souls at times before I came to love them.
