Kommt bei mir auch so ungefähr hin, war eines meiner ersten Spiele überhaupt und immer noch eines meiner Lieblinge. Die Kampagnen sind sehr rundimentär und mit wenig Optionen, die Verluste werden schnell unrealistisch hoch, aber das Gameplay ist einfach cool und die OrBats gut recherchiert.

In a sample of ~2 billion comments, social media discourse becomes more negative over time

Archival and experimental findings suggest this is a byproduct of people trying to differentiate themselves

Extra funding to attract US faculty and postdoctoral researchers to Heidelberg and other universities in Germany‘s southwestern state Baden-Württemberg (less cool than Berlin but prettier and, uh, richer).

Wissenschaftler haben es in den USA derzeit schwer. Baden-Württemberg will das nutzen und investiert knapp 24 Millionen Euro, auch um Forscher aus Harvard abzuwerben.

And even less given that presumably inside the cost for these frigates somewhere is the cost of US-made AEGIS.

Stephan Maurer @stephanmaurer.bsky.social · 15d

The projected 26b for the F127 might contain AEGIS though, no?

Stephan Maurer @stephanmaurer.bsky.social · 15d

Worth noting though this only covers the $83b planned thru Dec 26 — so excludes US orders already placed (F-35s) or rumored for the more distant future (P-8s, more F-35s). So maybe not as big a paradigm shift in procurement as implied by the Politico article.

As part of the “America First” program, Pentagon has classified certain weapons types, including Patriot, as “in short supply” and is beginning to block requests for these systems from European partners.

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade

Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’

Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

Today's a busy day in Civil War history: #otd in 1862, Union forces were victorious at the Battle of Iuka, MS; in 1863, the Battle of Chickamauga (depicted here in an Alfred Waud sketch) opened; and in 1864, Phil Sheridan defeated Jubal Early's Confederates at Third Winchester.

Unpopular opinion:
1)What is happening in America is hugely concerning.
2) It is in both Britain‘s and Europe's interest to work closely together.
3) Neither Brits nor Europeans can afford to openly break with the US right now.
4) Making the most of that impossible situation is very hard.
