Why does The Guardian call NATO “Nato”? That’s just weird.

*Epstein Fury. Makes more sense in that context.

Out of curiosity, what makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I’ll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we’ll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.

The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That’s why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.

Oh yeah, for me MW is MechWarrior. Modern Warfare is a BBS door game.

Because the UN General Assembly takes summer holidays too. No matter how eager Carney may be to declare it, he still has to wait for the UNGA to resume in September.

Sadly, its numbers are comparable to Hyundai’s Ioniq 6, which might be the best EV on the market right now. Seems a lot of EVs are tanking in sales now.

I think you are right. I keep finding different ways they did it, so sounds like the 1800s was a busy period in the development of mirror technology!

Pretty sure they just poured silver nitrate over glass. You can still buy kits to do that to re-silver old mirrors for the original look. From what I can find, the layered ones were older, and they used tin and mercury which made breaking a mirror a rather unlucky event.

Ah, Jaffa jokes

Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.

You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn’t have a passport for whatever reason.

Yeah, we found a way to bypass the parental lock on our old C-Band satellite system. The glory days.

Yeah, you need a new cartridge for yours.

Dude might have been drunk. If it isn’t intentional, it’s usually a case of too drunk or too old.

Keith Laumer, Gordon R. Dickson and Jack McDevitt are probably the ones I re-read the most.

I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.

Shiny.

No, you can rinse your balls as well.
