KKR will “help it deal with its mountain of debt”. How nice of them to not expect anything in return!

You can still find Unreal Tournament servers now. I checked it out recently because I used to play loads of UT back in the day, but everyone on there is so skilled I assume they must have been playing non stop for the past 25 years.

I have one friend who got divorced. It was difficult for him since it was during COVID and their 2-year-old daughter was involved, but now he’s thriving and super well-adjusted. I think some people just refuse to come to terms with things beyond their control (namely the people in the pic).

That stage of life is pretty difficult work-wise. Up until then most people’s lives have been on rails: go to school, do exams, go to university, do exams. Now you’ve got all this choice, but also the idea that the “wrong” choice will affect your life in a negative way.

My advice is just to try out lots of things. At this age you’re not locked into anything, you can spend a few years doing something, decide you don’t want to keep doing it, and it’s not time wasted. I’m 35 and I’ve got friends my age who are changing careers now. You’ll never know if a career is “for you” until you’ve tried it.

Talking about trains with those fucking idiot bus drivers who don’t know shit:

Who said that? I couldn’t find it in the article.

So… run at a massive deficit in the hopes that we’ll get acquired by a bigger country?

What’s the context for this? I’ve been out of the loop with this story.

Or, if they’re a foreign agent being paid by another state, they’ll be at the front of the queue of applicants because they don’t mind the uncompetitive pay.

It certainly doesn’t make you a worker.

Is there some kind of parental software that can lock down phones like what happens on corporate phones? Like where you can control which apps are installed etc? That sounds like the best approach: just give them a phone with WhatsApp, phone and SMS. Any refurbished phone from the last 10 years would work for that (lack of Android security updates might be an issue though)

And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee’s Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

But I thought LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder?!

Actually I never got that. WINE isn’t an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder

Oh how I long to be in Belarus right now…

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris’ step daughter.

Cool I guess we’ll all just die then.

There’s also a lack of funding for the regulator which means the BBC is the one finding these spills, not the agency that’s responsible for tracking then.

I won’t believe in nominative determinism until Usain Bolt quits his athletics career to become a machinist.

Instead of phoning 999 you just shout “medic!”
