Its apparently missing a dolphin.

Man, and we all thought his whole thing over couches was bad.

Who the Taliban call “terrorists”

1. Anyone associated with the previous democratic government.
2. Women.
3. Anyone with a half decent education.
4. Regional warlords that were(are?) bankrolled by the US and previously stabilized the country, protecting it from foreign interests like the Taliban.

Arrest them under the patriot act.

Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

As I recall: Mitt Romney was the first public person who really came out and called Russia a threat in the US in the 2011/2012 election cycle. Which at the time he was laughed at because Russia was still seen as an ally and the major threat was China.

Now they are both openly hostile and Germany is cozying up to fucking China.

Germany: just do what the rest of the west (and China) does and bribe the Canadian government to hand over raw resources to you.

Winnie the Pooh and his favourite sub: Putin.

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

My Oma was in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Her family sheltered part of a jewish family(the elderly mother who was too sick to escape to North America, and one of her sons, a lawyer, who stayed behind to care for her.) This was before the invasion and the start of the war.

At the time, late 1930s, she said that everyone knew something bad was happening to the Jewish people the Nazis rounded up, but not what.

After more than a year of occupation, they were turned in by a neighbor for extra rations because none of her family needed daily visits from a doctor. The Nazis took the two Jewish people and her Dad into a camp.

A local factory owner, some months on, tried to have everyone from the area released in return for his compliance in letting them use his factory output. Her dad was among those released, but they refused to release any Jewish prisoners. Her parents then immediately joined the resistance and helped it out until the end of the war. The factory owner allegedly ensured that the output to the Nazis was changed to be only subtly defective units, pipe walls too thin, cooled too quickly etc.

They took this from a facebook RPG memes that its been trying to get me to look at. Saw it on my feed today.

Putin is said to have commented, before the invasion, that Russia has a population of conscription aged men of 25 million, this seems to have been their design philosophy of just grinding Ukraine into dust, even if it took millions of Russian lives to do it.

However, that theyre already pulling women prisoners into the meat grinder suggests that number may have been wrong.

Finding an urn with cocoa in it in a sealed egyptian tomb would be among the greatest archeological discoveries.

Say we want the mantle of most boring cuisine from the English without saying it.

Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn’t replicate the magic of their OG team.

The best way to increase birth rates in advanced countries is: Work life balance. Restore the traditional tax rates on the rich.

In windows 10 you can reenable it, but you have dig a bit in the power management control panel to do so.

Its unfortunate that this thinking has bled over to Linux.

When they did a deal before, China was getting the gas below cost to Russia. ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/21/russia-30-year-400bn-gas-deal-china )

Putin is finding out that China doesn’t have allies, it has victims.

The rich absolutely want to codify that they have a set of rules “worthy of their position” and the corporate media is being forced to tow that line.

Or Putin is trusting that Nato will hold the baltic countries back and he’ll be able to do what he wants to them, provided no invasion.
