This truly will be a war for oil. I think he wants to dominate the Americas.

They also record the pupillary distance on the receipts (at least at Costco Canada), allowing you to easily order glasses online for even less.

I immediately get worried when Bernie backs someone because he has picked some really weird campaign staff in the past.

Deep brain stimulation. Basically a pacemaker with wires into specific areas of the brain. I’ve programmed them for people with Parkinson’s (but I know that there was a brain region they were targeting for depression).

Yup! It was considered scandalous at the time that during the War of the Roses, Jasper Tudor actually consummated his marriage with Margaret Beaufort when she was 12! She wasn’t able to have any more children because of the traumatic birth of her son, the future Henry VII of England.

That’s basically what happens. There’s lots of reasonably priced solid indie and AA games across a variety of genres on Steam. Escape from Tarkov too expensive? Try Escape from Duckov, an extraction shooter which has fantastic ratings and is $25 CDN at launch.

I’ve never understood this mindset, particularly when it’s actually one of the cheapest forms of entertainment. I’ve put 500+ hours into Grim Dawn (base game and expansions on sale for $35) and I still will go back to it. $35 is a small price to pay for so much enjoyment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here's a fun little nugget from Trump's demand that DOJ pay him, personally, $250 million: In his memo, he argues that prosecutors "should have foreseen" that he has "immunity from prosecution for officials acts." Thank you John Roberts, great rule of law-ing, sir! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Moreover, as former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge and now-Attorney General Merrick
Garland should have foreseen, President Trump had immunity from prosecution for
official acts.23 As such, given the Supreme Court's immunity decision and Judge
Cannon's dismissal of the prosecution on grounds that the Special Counsel's
appointment violated the appointments clause and his office was funded through an

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

In Trump’s America, all good citizens should be striving for a cut of the corruption!

This is so going to completely destroy the social fabric of the nation.

The corruption is so brazenly open that it’s shocking. And I’m sure SCOTUS will turn a blind eye toward all of it.

Those games have been selling for $60 at launch for decades. The only only thing that has increased would be production costs.

Game prices do generally tend down with time, especially their sale prices, which can be steep (I buy a lot of older games AAA on Steam, often at 90% discounts).

It’s probably the right idea grasping to the woods no because this is the sort of app that’s going to cause civilizational collapse and you’ll have a nice spot.

Incurring debt to gamble on paying off the debt you’ve already incurred is just plain evil.
