This is where the name of Stockholm syndrome comes from. It’s not that you fall in love with your captors, but rather that you fear less for your safety with the captors than with the police getting involved.

A friend of mine is also left handed and I only found out when we started a game of darts and he switched hands. Under communism writing with the left hand was not allowed for some reason.

I wouldn’t, I have broken up with girls over this. But that didn’t mean we couldn’t have some fun.

Is the movie different? I stopped watching after 30 minutes because it was too stupid.

It’s not the ending per se, it’s how rushed it all was. Dany going villain was always projected, especially in the last published book. But it’s the rushing of the storyline and the distinct decline in quality dialogue that made it so bad. The storyline could and should have been fleshed out more with maybe even 2 extra seasons. Instead the seasons were shortened and they tried (and failed miserably) to wrap it up quickly.

As for the dialogue, compare the dialogues of Tyrion and Varys from the first 3 seasons to the last 3 seasons and you will wonder if those are the same characters. They were quick witted and sharp in the first seasons, but in the last 3 it’s all “Hur hur, you don’t have a cock” jokes. And that’s just one of the more obvious flaws. So many story threads had no conclusion, the actions stopped making sense, what should be a multi month voyage is reduced to days, etc, etc, etc…

It will be taught in movie colleges as a warning for decades, if not centuries.

Can I pay in fridges?

The trade deal that is so ridiculous that it will never be ratified?

That and Civ V

The band Steps was just way ahead of its time.

5. 6. 7. 8. My hoob scoobs baby is driving me crazy, my obsession from a western and we dance all night

(Or something like that, haven’t heard it in a decade but holy crap that was a nasty earworm)

Well, silverlight is something else, but you can run edge in IE mode. That won’t support silverlight, but if it’s for personal use you can use IETab (free for personal use), which does support silverlight. We used it at our company because we had some ancient shit that required silverlight.

I cancelled the license at my company a couple of months ago because we finally decommissioned the old SharePoint on-prem after 3 years of migration.

They also ordered 500 Korean tanks. Diversification is a thing, you know.

I remember reading somewhere you can do this with cruises. When you are on the border UMT -11 and -12, you can have 2 and that leaves you 22 hours to travel to the border of +11 and +12. You might even squeeze an extra celebration out.

I didn’t have the option either. Waiting for the renewal to come up and switching to Nextcloud with Proton.

That’s pretty cool actually. Space manufacturing becoming a possibility is awesome.

Retroactively, sure. But as the article concludes:

“To me, it shows that our system of testing pesticides before they are allowed on the market is not good enough. We have done it for 50 years for all kinds of pesticides – we go through the same process every 10 years and learn very little from history.”

Serbia is not even close to being allowed to join the EU.

No, not Slovakia. Bulgaria and parts of Albania.

What? Hahahaha

Shouldn’t they start adding horses and donkeys now? Although I do feel for those poor beasts.
