  1. Two Chinese nationals fighting for the Russians captured, complete with travel and financial documents. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-says-it-captured-two-chinese-nationals-fighting-in-russian-army/
  2. They don't even realize how insanely stupid and expensive it would be if we imported all of our toilet paper. I mean, sure, some of us use bespoke artisanal toilet paper that was hand-crafted by Guatemalan virgins, but that toilet paper does not come on a big-ass cargo ship from China, it is carried on the backs of burros from Guatemala straight to our border.
  3. Well, there was a lot of incest in the royalty. Maybe not brother/sister incest, but still a lot of incest.
  4. That probably points to older siblings not being vaccinated.
  5. China is not backing down over this. Asian markets and our futures markets aren’t doing too hot tonight.
  6. As an Ultima Online player I’m reassured by he responses in this thread that it’s not a true dire wolf.
  7. That's the most 12 year-old thing he's done yet, and he's done a lot of them, like designing a truck. Actually, I shouldn't say that, as even 12 year-olds have some pride and wouldn't rage quit like that. Most would figure out what they were doing wrong and course-correct.

  9. Yeah, not sure if that's meant for Xi or for my elderly relatives who have no idea what's going on but are pleased that he appreciates their attention to this matter.
  10. What if he's like that weird-ass kid you knew when you were 13, and you and your buddies got $10 together and told him if he stuck his dick into a wasp net, you'd give the $10 to him, and he did it, even though he got stung, and he took the money, and then 30 years later, you found out that he actually enjoyed it and would have done it for free?
  11. I can see countries fucking with Tesla sales to get at him, knowing he can't change Trump's mind.
  12. Truth Details | Truth Social Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
  13. SpaceVenture came out on the 1st. It's the "spiritual successor" to the Space Quest games, from the two guys who originally started the SQ series and... and...well...the kickstarter was in 2012. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374960/SpaceVenture/ As others have said, they made 5-6 SQ games in less time it took than to get this one out the door (or at least in Early Access) but they had health issues and financial issues (I think they stopped getting paid and Ken Williams stepped in to help). If you backed it, check your email for the Steam key.
  14. What about those of us who are not......good at math.
  15. Holy shit, you'r not kidding, their markets are down 5-10% with most of them towards the 10% side. And our futures aren't looking hot. And we all saw it coming.
  16. Thunderbolt doesn’t matter at those speeds unless you are doing some seriously heavy film editing or FX work. I currently have an M2 MBA (15-inch) with 24GB memory, and a 2TB drive ( I paid the Apple tax but got it refurbed so it was not as painful), running Windows 11 ARM under Parallels, and it’s fantastic (no heavy games, but all my Windows apps and games run like a breeze and barely ramp up the CPU). I do wish I had just waited and gotten the 14-inch Pro with 32GB because it would have given me some breathing room, plus extra ports, but I get by just fine. If it’s in the budget, get the Pro for the cores, but no matter what, get 32GB at least. If your games run fine under Parallels now on the Intel machine, they should run even better under Windows 11 ARM on an M4 or M4 Pro. Check Apple’s refurb store (bottom of the Apple.com website). They have same warranty and I’ve never had a problem.
  17. Jim Cramer is calling for it…so bullshit? https://nypost.com/2025/04/06/us-news/cnbc-host-jim-cramer-warns-of-black-monday-market-crash-over-trump-tariffs/
  18. This is making the rounds of the socials. Black Monday talk. For the financial historians, any accuracy to it?
  19. I don’t know of any movie recently where kids are asking to go with their friends like the Minecraft movie. Dogman, a few. But nothing else in years.
