  1. Mon Hotma.
  2. Oblivion originally had a flawed leveling system, I remember I spent hours working my locking and sneak to 99 then the enemies scaled up to an almost invincible level. Never finished it because of that. They've revamped the leveling system. Looks pretty fucking good, and for the youngsters, they are basically getting a new Elder Scrolls game
  3. Based on how fast the Ukrainians are developing drone and missile technology, I'd assume that Moscow would be getting hammered pretty often three years from now.
  4. That's what they put in the Cokes.
  5. Wow, did not expect Disney to show anal. Good thing I'm screening this before my middle-schooler watches it! Edit: Never mind, wrong show.
  6. Putin offers to halt invasion of Ukraine along current front line – FT The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, proposed halting the invasion of Ukraine along the entire front line in order to reach a peace agreement with US President Donald Trump, according to the Financial Times. According to sources from the media outlet, Putin told US President’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, that Russia could abandon its claims to four Ukrainian regions According to FT, since then, the US has reportedly proposed a peace settlement option that includes recognizing Crimea as Russian and acknowledging Russia’s effective control over parts of four Ukrainian regions. ----- So supposedly Putin said he would abandon its claims to four Ukrainian regions.

  7. Add milk sickness to the shitshow third world country we are becoming https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-suspends-milk-quality-tests-amid-workforce-cuts-2025-04-21/ The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division, according to an internal email seen by Reuters. The suspension is another disruption to the nation's food safety programs after the termination and departure of 20,000 employees of the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, as part of President Donald Trump's effort to shrink the federal workforce. The FDA this month also suspended existing and developing programs that ensured accurate testing for bird flu in milk and cheese and pathogens like the parasite Cyclospora in other food products. Effective Monday, the agency suspended its proficiency testing program for Grade "A" raw milk and finished products, according to the email sent in the morning from the FDA's Division of Dairy Safety and addressed to "Network Laboratories." Grade "A" milk, or fluid milk, meets the highest sanitary standards. The testing program was suspended because FDA's Moffett Center Proficiency Testing Laboratory, part of its division overseeing food safety, "is no longer able to provide laboratory support for proficiency testing and data analysis," the email said.
  8. Great post and I would love to respond to each point, but the Internet service on my yacht is shit and I’m not getting fucking Starlink. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some onshore WiFi when we pull into Aruba.
  9. Yep, that Pope could amass some serious power, both while he's living, but also over who succeeds him.
  10. Will Musk be in that registry? I can’t think of any parents with autistic kids that I know, who would want their kids tracked by RFK Jr and Co.
  11. I would be out there rollin' in my 5.0, with my rag-top down so my hair can blow, with the girlies on standby, waving just to say "Hi". Probably head on down to A1A Beachfront Avenue.
  12. Apparently, it's moving over to Prime tomorrow, and also we need to make sure all of our relatives watch it.
  13. KXAN Austin weather: NWS Austin head of warnings takes early retirement as NOAA cuts continue
  14. Amazon threw money at Peacock or whatever and is dropping it on Prime tomorrow.
  15. He can lie all he wants, but the analysts are looking at the unit sales and are not happy. It's continuing to drop, and that little bump up to 290 a month or so ago is going to be remembered fondly by the time summer rolls around.
  16. We know this will be retracted, right?
  17. Let's just say that a lot of those movements globally are not happy with the number of non-white members of the Catholic Church, and don't want to be around that. Francis's impact will be felt for a long time to come, as GOLL mentioned, but I doubt they are swinging towards the Nazis (as imamac mentioned).
  18. Came across this, and it backs up what I heard from somebody I know who recently went through the NTC - US Army is doing full-blown drone warfare training, complete with drones dropping various items on soldiers during training exercises. Soldiers Train to Counter Growing Drone Threat | AUSA
  19. RPM, did you see Conclave yet?
  20. I'd be good with bringing back the Roman Empire. I mean, we all think about the Roman Empire multiple times a week, if not every day.
  21. At his age, shingles will fuck you up.
  22. To be fair, this was swimming on the planet he was raised.
  23. I want to comment on this, hopefully you are not institutionalized by this point. There are some really good ST novels, particularly covering the original characters, that were written by legit sci-fi authors who happened to write some ST novels (and even some episodes of Star Trek TV). Then there are ST novels written by people who were…authors…and most likely commissioned to pump them out. There were as bad as some of the shitty Star Wars EU stuff, complete with Kirk and Spock saving the universe dozens of times.
