Well, that's easy. That must be "Kut", which, not surprisingly means cunt in Dutch.

.... Err .. no? Or you have very raw fabric clothing or something else is up, bud.

Or do you mean you normally used no underwear when working out and it isn't that long ago (months, not years) since you had the procedure. Then yeah, there is a difference. But it all err.. should work out.

Speaking as one to the other if you catch my drift. Be happy you did it bud, the pain was just the one of the nasty other complications possible.

Why does this guy looks so much as Dr Evil. He even mimics the facial expressions. It's scary.

I just love MiG's. Why? Because the ruskies just rawdogged everything. They saw the F16 with all that fancy fly by wire stuff and made a nimble MiG without any real computer assisted flying with the fulcrum. You have the fastest plane with the SR-71? Well fuck that, here , we've put an after burner on that MiG-31 so big it more or less matches the SR-71 speed. It just burns through the engine in one flight and the airframe also takes a big hit when you use it but who cares about costs, we're commies.

Soviet aerospace engineers man. You just have to love them. They really used that hammer logic (hit it harder!) on everything.

Or the approach which led to the hind heli. What? You need a gunship and you need a troop transport? What do you say, the Americans have pinpoint precision on that superCobra and that shiny Apache thingy?

Here, i've made it big so it can fit a lot of troops. I've added some large wings so you can fill her up with all kinds of low tech Rockets so you don't need pinpoint precision. Just point and click in the general direction and everything over there is annihilated. Yeah, that goes for that tank and that family of twelve 100m further down the street where you didn't aim at as well.

But, they aren't us anyway so.... And next to that the fucker is really fast for such a big helo..

The design principles are so fantasticly wack. Matching (try to) western computertech with low tech solutions.

Games, books and movies don't change your life. At most it makes you think about something a little deeper. A little longer.

Life events change your life. A child. Death. Life. Love. Hate. War. Hope. Loss. Peace. Safety. Destruction. And money. Or lack of.

The most impactful game I played, which story I still really remember after 25 years? Homeworld. Hiigara. Our home.

The exact workings im not familiar with but it's called "leveraged buyout" where the net worth of the firm which is bought is the collateral.

So .. you buy firm A with money you lended. When the sale gors through all belongings of firm A are yours! So you sell them off, you know what? You want to make a profit so you sell EVERYTHING.

Now firm A is but a husk of it's former self. So now is the time to put it in some holding company or something. Now the husk of firm A is indebted to you.

Oh noes! It goes bankrupt! With your investment firm as the biggest lender to it!

Thats a very shallow take on reality you have here.

Sure, being a good owner means providing care, safety, food, entertainment and most of all: love.

But still, its a dog. (Or cat. Or rabbit or whatever.)The moment the situation could sink you financially, that is the moment you pull the plug, take the hit, the pain and move on. You have that choice with an animal. And 9 out of 10 times it's the best option for everyone, including the animal.

You don't hurt something, create more suffering just because you can't take the loss.

Looking at the last year of my Fathers life we all (himself first and foremost) wished we had that humane option as well. Fall to sleep. Float away painless. But alas, for humans we don't have that option. For reasons no sane people can explain we humans must cruelly endure a lot of pain, mental stress and indignation in that final period.

And we should not extend that cruelty (because thats what it is, most life prolonging "final" care in our seniors) to our pets.

Accident? Broken paw? Appendicitis? Or similar fixable stuff? fix it!

Liver or kidney failure? Heart disease? Cancer? Brain damage? (Partial) Paralysis?

Nah. Don't hurt it and yourself more. Take the loss.

Not him but:

Risk of rain (returns) Hades 1/2 Nebulous fleet command Star sector Homeworld 1, cataclysm (emergence), 2 Battletech (!!!!!!!) Spaz 1 (not 2!) Mechwarrior 2 Mechwarrior 5 mercs/clans Terraria FTL Steamworld games (all) Cortex command (interesting pile of shit) Kerbal Etc... So much.

More or less mainstream games: Helldivers2 (!!!) Xcom (ufo: enemy unknown) Xcom Xcom 2 Civilisation Etc..

With Games, like with all art, it's impossible to point to 1 or two which are the best. I've read many books, watched many films, series, plays, listened to music and played a lot of games.. i can't just pick one or two which where "the best". I can name a bunch which where great though.

Tried it twice. Couldn't get a dog from the shelter. Why? We weren't married. (?) The both of us worked 4 days. We had a child.

So we shrugged it off, waved and snuggled with the sad doggies and never came back.

And we just bought a puppy. No rules. No problems. Now, 20+ years later we're on to our third very happy dog.

Anyway: a lot of shelters do their best to scare people away. And they succeed.

You're just citating Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax".

Lazy. Get back to work and make your Overlord happy!

Ja, Limburg. Vandaar. ;)

Edit: the axeguy was stopped by visitors of a local bar while pursuing the little girl. Noone got seriously injured and the unhinged moron was left in police custody.

Now, in the US these kind of stories have a different ending. In the US this guy would've shot the girl and rampaged through that bar.

 

The rebellion, Sync, is dying.

Maybe it didn't sell enough. And maybe you're making more money elsewhere.

That's cool. We, well, I understand. you're not in this because you hate free time, you're in this to make money. I get it.

But if that's the case, let us know, so we can mourn the death of sync and select another client.

 

"The Federal Republic of Germany was an American creation, with the U.S. having shepherded Germany down the path of democracy following World War II. America was Germany’s big brother, and although the relationship was not always free of tension, there was never a doubt about the military support from across the Atlantic. That is now over."

Interesting read.
