The government of Moldova very recently took steps to eject the breakaway Russian-backed Transnistrian govt from the country in order to try and fortify the country against a possible Russian aggressive move.
I’m sure this is entirely coincidental and unrelated. /s
Absolutely agree. Training without proper instruction at beginner levels isn’t going to do anything except embed a host of bad habits and poor technique that’ll be a nightmare to unlearn later down the line.
The discovery phase should be entertaining.
Will she be wearing Vikings season 1 motorcycle leathers like half the rest of the cast?
Paperweight / conversation starter. As long as you know it’s not real, it’s just a cool chunk of brass.
Replicas of Cobalt-60 sources can be got on Ebay for as little as $12.
Easily one of the best video game adaptations we’ve gotten. If you like the games, it definitely won’t disappoint.
…because the first “Ukraine scenario” is going so well, right?
BTK was a Cub Scout leader and used a false story as an alarm repairman to gain entry to one of his victim’s houses.
Rader used an ADT hard-hat and a Southwestern Bell manual to pose as a technician for the telephone company.[117] Rader first gained entry into Wegerle’s neighbor’s house, and pretended to do telephone work, before leaving and knocking on Wegerle’s door, doing so to make Wegerle less suspicious.
Fun fact: his son served on the naval base in New London at the same time as me. Not on the same submarine, but same waterfront a few piers down. Ran into him a few times.
Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.
You wouldn’t say a texture is “greeble”.
Edit - and if you’re talking 3d modeling, greebling is done during sculpting, it’s not a texturing step.
I don’t remember seeing pirated stuff before Dreamcast / PS1, although to be fair, I was at a lot of PC conventions back then grabbing freeware disks and stuff, so I probably saw a lot of pirated stuff without knowing what I was looking at, just by virtue of being too young to be into the pirating / modding community.
I don’t have an answer for you, but it seems feasible enough. If you decide to try it, let us know how it works.
None, because their corporations exist as separate legal entities that own their own assets, and their personal wealth would go to their next of kin.
The way to get the wealth out of the hands of the wealthy is to tax them, or to remove the legal system that would keep their wealth in their family when they die.
Really hoping this isn’t the case. LotR IP isn’t in a good place these days, with all the adaptations being made that don’t have the rights to the time periods or events they want to portray.
We don’t need another half-baked property about the heroic quest for Galadriel’s bidet, Gollum’s cock ring, or whatever McGuffin they come up with as a placeholder for The Ring.
Let the Professor’s work rest. No-one is doing his writing any favors by making a mockery out of it.
I met my late wife on vampirefreaks back in 2003. Holy nostalgia, Batman.
No, but I did take the 4 or 5 Oreos I would eat in a sitting, crumble them up, and put them in a bowl of milk like cereal.
Can’t have a tank parade when all your tanks are currently planters for Ukrainian sunflowers.
I remember back in the days when Ebay didn’t have any selling restrictions, there was someone selling an Alfa class Soviet sub for something like 3.5 million.
Agreed. I’d go back and watch a supercut of all the fight scenes, but other than that there wasn’t really anything worth remembering / revisiting. Didn’t stand on it’s own as a good story or add anything good to Star Wars canon overall.
Somebody among the AAA publishers had to take the initial leap into full-on reputation destroying slop. Fitting that it’s Ubisoft.
