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".

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.

Or get a normal mouse you can use while charging for 15 mins and then have a month of battery. Or charge for 2hrs while using and have six months of battery.

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

This research was funded by an unknown right wing think-tank. Interpret that as you will

Plenty of countries have had multiple civil wars.

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.

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 argument of people being 'better off' now is that technology is better and more available. It is much cheaper to buy a big 4k flat panel tv now than a black and white tv with four channels and no remote back in the 50s. We have the Internet, smartphones, better health care, video games, music, streaming services, cheap air travel, food from all over the world, robot vacuum cleaners, air conditioning etc. etc.

What we don't have so much of is cheap housing, good secure jobs, any reasonable degree of income equality etc.

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

I'm interested in improving my German through games, but I often struggle to commit to playing games in another language because I don't want to miss out on things like story and dialogue. So I'd be interested in any suggestions for games which I can enjoy playing in another language.

So far my best success is Civilization 6. It ticks a lot of boxes because there is no story other than what you make. I've played it before in English, so I alreadly broadly know what things do, but it's complicated enough that I still need to read and understand things. There is spoken audio and a lot to read, so I feel like I am always encountering new vocabulary. It is turn based, so there is always unlimited time to read and translate - Google Lens is a lifesaver here, because there are a lot of rules to understand, and sometimes I get the meaning completely wrong when I read it, but then I can check the translation.

His position was essentially "it doesn't matter that our review was completely invalid because the product is too expensive". And he considers himself to have a serious review company.
