From the golf reporter Rick Reilly.

"I once looked thru his telescope in his Trump Tower apt. that looked downtown. He said, "I saw the towers come down thru that telescope." I lifted my head up. "Oh my god," I gasped.
"Solid gold," he said."

Might want to look elsewhere for empathy.

I wish the actual guy could give a public statement but Trump won't let that happen

To be entirely fair, no halfway competent defence lawyer would let him make public statements that might prejudice a trial.

Maybe we get clarity on his motives when it comes to trial (maybe).

Did they have fences back then?

I expect so, they had agriculture, and herd animals.

Fences are assumed.

Maybe it's a pun?

Will never make sense if we don't know the pronunciation.

Good question, historically bread and circuses was how authoritarian takeovers kept the populace acquiescent.

I don't know that it's been tried without the bread before, but there's a first time for everything.

I went from one-shotting the final boss on Very Hard to having to hack turrets to distract him and the fighting probably taking 5-10 minutes using basically the same build on Very Hard post rework. Thats how nerfed everything was.

They really buffed that lad tbh. Tough fight on max difficulty, as he should be.

Can't say I have much use for a bunch of weirdos whose combat specialities include being covered in bees.

Doesn't it entirely depend on the caliber, type of weapon? Sniper rifles are better for range since the bullet is designed specifically to fly straight with minimal drag for example

Yes, but we're not talking about that kind of range here.

The examples I'm providing are for standard 5.56mm service rifles (or equivalent) using bog standard NATO ball ammo.

Really don't need specialised weapons or ammo at short ranges like this.

(I understand, almost all videogames drastically shorten weapon ranges, to keep things close and exciting. Reality is somewhat different. )

solosnake posted...

that's farther than a football field end zone to end zone. Its definitely not as easy as you make it seem

You'd be surprised how easy it is.

I read 130m, but even 200 is easy from prone. No bullet drop to calculate at that range BTW, a small wind correction (assuming there was any), at 100m you wouldn't even bother about that.

The elevation might be a factor (don't have experience there), might explain why the shot was high, rather than impacting centre of mass (ordinary error also entirely possible).

Dissident_77 posted...

Did anyone actually think Luigi was a professional? There is a world of difference btwn point blank and what this guy did.

Shot was from 130 metres, that's really not far.

I have no idea who the shooter was, or what military training if any they might have had, but the idea that this is a long shot is just wrong.

From prone position, shooting at a still, man sized target at that range with a military rifle is basically a guaranteed hit. Even with iron sights, and minimal training/practice.

RIP Haru.

Time to try and (fail to) win the Arima Kinen again.

Also what if you cant control that you love her

Can't vote, because that isn't something you can control.

Doing something about said love would be a conscious choice, and an obvious no.

How deep do the mass graves have to be dug before his hotel foundations will be secure?

I suppose I could make the excuse that everyone has these ill informed types.

The reality is that that the far right is very much on the rise throughout the world.

There are very real issues affecting the working classes of many nations, and ignoring the real causes (especially if they are funding you), and deflecting public anger onto ethnic or religious groups less able to defend themselves is a traditional (and regrettably effective) tactic.

Alternatively, you could upgrade your cooking?

Simple things will upgrade your experience, doesn't have to be difficult.

Consider:

Seasoning your food before cooking.

Resting meats before serving (important).

Condiments can make a meal.

Yes CE, I know this is a joke topic, but it's also the board where people claim that washing machines can be under sinks.

When you are dealing with that level of halfwit, nothing can be taken for granted.

Can someone give me a basic summary of what's going on?

From what I gather, that claim that Trump went golfing this weekend is based off of old footage? But Trump himself was spotted truthing about his tariffs being ruled illegal?

Not much really.

Old ill man has bruising consistent with canula (or similar) insertions, doubtless needs rest after such procedures, leading to premature conclusions.

Side order of crap jokes about his hair, because why not?

I think that's the hair of the person walking behind/beside him.

I suspect you're right, but comb-over theory is funnier, so I'm sticking with it.

McMarbles posted...

Oh shit he has a midlife crisis ponytail.

Nono, haven't seen this in a while, but I do believe this might be a fallen comb-over.

Proper Bobby Charlton too (very Anglo-centric reference, I apologise).

At any rate, a rare sight of his natural hair, without product sticking it to his scalp.

Shes locked up is what she is.

Quite possibly, but like I said, she knows this.

In a war where Israel has banned all international news organisations from the area of operations, such actions serve to swing the spotlight of publicity onto the Israeli government.

Brave stuff.

divot1338 posted...

She thinks she does. But shes still a kid and this is probably not going to go great for her.

Best case scenario is being incarcerated by them for the next 6 months.

She's 22 (poor effort at dismissing her there chap), and she's been going toe to toe with serious politicians for years.

I've no doubt she knows the risks, and yes, is hoping her fame will grant some protection (whilst not counting on it).

(As well as the real life horse she's named after)

She will win the Arima Kinen one day (if I get the legacies and the luck).

divot1338 posted...

Trying to sail a boat into a warzone was not a very smart idea.

The middle east is not like the rest of the world and her life is very much in danger.

Technically yes, and I'd not advise anyone with a healthy sense of self preservation to follow her example.

However, she knows this. She has chosen this path precisely to confront the horrors being perpetrated in the region.

I admire her for her enormous brass bollocks (much bigger than mine).

I just realized, but in these hypotheticals, where does the money come from? O.o.

And I would bet there'd probably be a lot of consequences and repercussions for having this amount.

Well yes, you suddenly having this amount of money would render all dollars worthless.

Suspect said money would be swiftly be made to disappear, along with you being "invited" to an unpleasant facility by some large brusque gentlemen.

Please tell me Scholagladiatoria is still alright

He's fine AFAIK.

He cut ties with Shad over his "conservative" views.

Solid advice.

Seems it is real.

I'm obviously stunned that a moral and upstanding organisation like FIFA would stoop to bribery, or that a paragon of virtue like Trump would accept.

In other news, while you're distracted with this; the Supreme Court has been clearing the way for the gutting of education, and the Justice Department fired its ethics advisor.

EPR-radar posted...

I'm still shocked that Trump and his goons didn't just produce an "Epstein list" that conveniently only includes Democrats and any Republicans currently on Trump's shit list.

It's not as if there are any adverse consequences for Republicans (and especially Trump) when they lie.

Like I said earlier, some fascinating defence witness testimony.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

then what is ghislane even in prison for.

Technically she is in prison for procuring girls for Epstein.

And no one else.

Honest guvnor.

We have proof of this.

"Can we see it?" No.

SSj4Wingzero posted...

That's the thing with religious organizations - a lot of them call themselves a certain name but you have to look at whom they're actually affiliated with. Anytime you see "independent Baptist" or "non-denominational evangelical" that's when you start sending up some red flags.

Indeed, I remember one lunatic relatively recently from the "Anglican Catholic" Church. Which made all kinds of no sense whatsoever.

To be fair it's not a a normal Baptist Church, it's not even a Southern Baptist Church (did the other Baptists ever let them back in over the slavery disagreement?)

Looks like its leader specifically created it in 2018 to hate the gays.

I'm an atheist btw, but let's be fair.

Oh I agree, I just don't understand how they let it get this far.

Anyone with a couple of functional neurons should have seen it coming.

Mutually assured destruction since he and his cronies obviously arent the only ones who have copies of the files.

Don't even need them, think they want suspects on the witness stand naming other "party" attendees?

WingsOfGood posted...

it was on her desk

She probably lied about that, she'd need a big desk for that many files.

It's odd really, they've spent years convincing MAGA that the files will hold the secrets to Hilary's pizza basement (or whatever that week's fantasy was), and never stopped to think about the many years Epstein and his buddy spent gadding about town together.

I don't doubt that there are many powerful men complicit in Epstein's crimes from all sides of the political spectrum, but I'm not expecting to see publication.

Too much to lose on all sides I'm afraid (and yes, it doesn't speak highly of MAGA intelligence that they failed to realise their own exposure before making promises).

WingsOfGood posted...

and you compile it and what do you have?

The trick is to not compile it.

Then you haven't lied about a "list".

Semantics like that used to be how politicians lied (admittedly not so much in the Trump era).

A good example of an old school political lie would be, "I have seen no evidence of that".

Always note the language used, not seeing it is essentially meaningless, and is a standard easily met by making sure your officials don't show you said evidence.

Is there "a list" probably not.

Is there considerable information about rich and powerful individuals, many of whom likely had contact with Epstein's slaves, both in and out of his facilities? Almost certainly.

Much of that would be diplomatically inconvenient should it be revealed (but useful as influence if they know you know).

Plus of course there's this guy, name escapes me. Big mates with Epstein, hung out with him a lot, lots of photos of them together, admits to walking into teenaged girls changing rooms unannounced.

Maybe I'll remember the name later, I'm sure it's nothing.

Dragon Age Inquisition

I felt it had the same problem as Mass Effect Andromeda, the open world obsession.

Whilst that can work with games that just dump the player in a world where the main story is almost optional; in both these cases it just added a lot of boring padding.

If it's even used for that. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that money gets wasted or used for other purposes.

Well sure, when the boss is corrupt this tends to cascade down the system.

But even after everyone creams off their cut, it's still an insane budget.

After the "Big Beautiful Bill" ICE will have, 36 times the IRSs budget for tax enforcement, 21 times the firearms enforcement budget, 13 times the drug enforcement budget and eight times the FBIs budget.

It seems appropriate for US board members to be afraid.

Devil May Cry 2, such a disappointment.

Never went back to the series, that game broke my heart.

Zikten posted...

there is also I think mentions in the Bible, as well as found in Archeology, a "Queen of Heaven". An ancient Hebrew goddess. Who was perhaps the wife of Yaweh or El

Tbh it's been a while since I looked at the topic, so the following is potentially suspect, but I'll see what I remember.

It appears that El's consort was indeed worshipped alongside the combined El/Yahweh for sometime, particularly in the wealthier more sophisticated North.
Nb El also retained his Golden Calf iconography for longer in this area.

Some scholars feel that conquest by the Babylonians and subsequent exile helped the hardline monotheists of the South into the ascendancy. Bit beyond my level to make that kind of judgement though.

Ah, we're not doing historical theology, we're doing bible study apparently.

That is significantly less interesting, so I'll bow out here.
