I struggled with it as well. My main problem seemed to be that no matter how many side quests I did, I was still underleveled for most enemy encounters. I did read that upgrading gear is worth more than levels, but it was such a grind to go and find all the materials that I eventually got bored. Shame though, because it's really well made.

I use t series thinkpads for my business running Linux, and have for the last 10 years. I upgrade every 3 years. I've never had any piece of hardware in any t series thinkpad not work with stock kernels from Debian and Ubuntu.

But the problem is that these are bad faith actors being engaged with in good faith. They are committing crimes and causing irreversible damage and need to be stopped immediately. The US gov has been taken over by fascists and everyone is acting like it's business as usual.

It was telegraphed and painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size. Still though, here we all are. Fucked.

It's not just because those people are dumb, it's because they've been weaponised and brainwashed by Fox News. America will not be able to heal until Fox News and the other right wing channels that are permitted to broadcast their outright lies are shut down.

it's not an exact measure, but the rule of thumb for a recession is 2 quarters of negative growth

oh, very good reference, well done

Given that these are military-related crimes, would it not be the courts-martial that should be arresting and prosecuting them rather than the regular judiciary? I'm not American and I'm not sure how it works over there, but I did watch "A Few Good Men"

The detention centers are private and run by large corps, which receive taxpayer money for every person detained. They're detaining people because they get paid to do so!

What I find interesting about this is that we had a similar situation in the UK with Liz Truss. We had a PM who announced a surprise budget of tax cuts, which ok, were a little bit stronger than ones the Tories had done previously. This caused a shock to the bond markets, cost quite a lot of money and she was immediately removed from office by her own party and her budget cancelled.

Trump has caused chaos and cost the US billions with his tariff talk, alienated most western allies, damaged the US MIC enormously and caused deaths in Ukraine by cutting support. The damage done is incalculable, it is not in the same universe as the damage caused by Liz Truss. The only thing that makes sense is that Republican party want America ruined and they aren't going to stop unless they are forced to. I think what Trump has already done should qualify as treason on the basis of undermining the USA and supporting its enemies.

So, do you actually believe the stupid shit you're saying, or are you getting paid for this?

SPY dropped a bit yesterday, and it's up a bit today, it's hardly plummeting. What's dropping is the dollar, it's already worth 5 cents less against GBP in the last week.
