With a 2025 release, is may not even come out for Switch, it may release on Switch 2/successor.

Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Quite a learning curve, but I loved the different ways you can win (conquest, trade, black ops) and how much you could customize your ships or pick unique races with tolerances for different planets.

Game strategy advice for a 30+ year old game? I love this so much, you guys are awesome.

omg YES. Nothing I have found since then has quite scratched the same itch of flying around with a friend on some random dude’s server. So much fun!

Here’s some background on the tensions and policies that have led to anti-avocado militias in some regions of Mexico:

Puppy was going to me my suggestion too, before I read that you’d already used it. Maybe try some of the other versions? If you used a Debian- or Ubuntu-based Puppy, you could try a Slack-based one, or vice-versa. Puppy’s organization is a little confusing, in my opinion, but it does give a user some options. You also might try some of the “puplets” that aren’t official Puppy distros but are part of the Puppy family.

For anyone who has watched it, what do you think? I didn’t love the first season, it was okay, but made some funny choices of stories to focus on. The trailers for Season 2 seemed to lean into tragedy (Gino Mäder’s death in Tour de Suisse) and doping suspicions, and I found them off-putting. But trailers are often different from shows or movies, so maybe it’s fine.

I tend to avoid the Telegraph, but there’s good coverage elsewhere:

I miss seeing Wiggins as a GCN+ commentator, he had good insight in the stage races. That seemed like a good gig for him, but of course, Warner Brothers/Discovery threw GCN+ in the bin, which probably didn’t help his finances.

I wonder too. Roglic looked pretty controlled, honestly, he didn’t need to do any more than he did. I suspect he could have kept the lead even without Ciccone, but it sure helped.

For real? I’m definitely seeing more teenagers on ebikes where I live. Which kind of impresses me, actually, because my community isn’t exactly a bike-friendly place. Honestly, some of the teens are kind of punks who are a bit annoying, or cut across the lawns of businesses or churches when they shouldn’t, but it sure is a cheaper way to get around and it’s less dangerous to other people on the road than if they were driving cars.

Justice Sotomayor is the greatest risk, and she could have engineered her exit earlier this year. Remember that in November. Dems aren’t even playing the same game.

I had one of these plans for over a decade. It was fun while it lasted—I won’t be staying with the company after this.

I don’t know how much to read into Roglic’s form. He didn’t look great on the last stage, but he was still pretty banged up from the Stage 5 crash. Glad for him that he won, but I’m really excited about Jorgenson’s form, he’s looking quite good. And Visma could use some good news, it’s been a rough season for them.

I feel like Jorgenson’s big arrival on the world tour stage was Tour of Oman, and was cemented by Paris-Nice and Dwars, so I’m not so surprised to see him looking good. Derek Gee, on the other hand, has been a complete revelation, it was fun to see him up there and on the podium. I’m really looking forward to the rest of his season.

I just open it in an incognito tab if I want to see it. Although I did subscribe to Escape Collective to support them, I like what they’re doing.

Trees might drop very hostile acorns

I wish I didn’t know exactly to what you referring.

I’ll just add that both officers were such bad shots that they missed the man handcuffed and strapped down in the back of their own squad car. smdh.

Native support. 👍 I haven’t played it yet, but at this price I’ll give it a try.

Any department that actually buys one of these turkeys is going to be very unhappy about the maintenance costs. Can’t park under trees, can’t let it get rained on, and if you’re in a medium-speed accident, the lack of crumple zone will injure your officers at higher rates.

I thought the allegations were that the Alitos were using the extra security officers given to them as part of the intimidation. Armed officers are always a danger.

The NYC/MTA budget was calculated based on congestion revenue. The budget hole this creates is a huge problem. This was a capitulation that probably won’t win Gov. Hochel any votes, but it certainly will throw NYC tax and budgets in disarray. Twenty-five years in the making, and she chickens out 3 weeks before. I’m just shaking my head.

I guess it’s your business, if you want your bar to lose money, that’s your choice.
