Never really had any issue with Teflon (and Teflon substitute) pans, but I’ve been impressed with the non-stickiness of my dirt cheap “ceramic” wok.
That’s why I was asking which time.
That Taliban rose up because the country was abandoned by the US after helping them see off the Soviet Union (and indeed being one of the catalysts that caused the Soviet Union to collapse). They were left with no infrastructure, and the Taliban stepped in with all the religious crazies in tow. And yeah, a lot of them were the mujahideen who were armed and trained by the US. They’re soldiers after all, and new regimes always need soldiers…
The Russians later gave them some equipment and funding to fight the US when they later invaded, but nowhere near enough to actually fight back. It was going to take more than a couple of rocket launchers for that.
Nobody ever gave a shit about the people there. Not the Taliban, not the US and not the Russians. Nobody is learning from it. You’ve got the exact same shit right now in Syria. They were rebels, then they were ISIS and Al-Qaeda, now they’re rebels again. All based on whether or not they’re attacking the old enemy.
Even if they found it what are the chances they could get any data from it after 11 years exposed to the elements? Wales is not a dry place. It will be fucked.
There’s loads of people lamenting the loss of crypto coins that they spent on a pizza back when they were worth pennies, or lost to a dead HDD. I worked with a guy who claimed he had £2 million of it on a dead drive and he was going to have it recovered, but the fact that he wore the same reeking tobacco covered jumper every day indicated that was a lie.
Who is “you guys” and when did this arming and training happen?
Not because I doubt it happened, but because it’s happened enough times with enough people that you need to be specific…
In fairness it’s the Taliban. They’re not exactly renowned for being interested in intellectual growth.
It’s an ugly planet. A bug planet.
It tends to move around from scam to scam.
A lot of the payday loan companies seemed to disappear in the UK. The main one was Wonga, which went under after we made it so that companies lending money would have to pay compensation if they lent money to people who would be unlikely to be able to repay it.
Then there was places like BrightHouse which specialised in selling basic household items to poor people with a 99% APR on them. So that £300 washing machine ends up costing over £1000 by the time they own it.
The current one is places like Klarna, which is a buy now pay later system. Popular because it doesn’t charge any interest (most of the money comes in fees from the retailers) and they don’t put it on your credit history, but miss a payment and they’ll be on you like a ton of bricks.
It’s just the same thing over and over, which a slight change to skirt any new regulations. It’s still the same cash flow problems underlying it all.
It is, but I’m struggling to think of many games that do all those things like that, and certainly not past an initial tutorial.
Far worse is the puzzle part of every action game that gives you the goddamn solution before you’ve even had ten seconds to think about it. God of War Ragnarok is by far the worst offender for this in recent memory. You couldn’t turn it off at all.
Payday loans making a comeback, eh?
And because they don’t appear on your credit check you can take a dozen out from different companies! What could possibly go wrong?
I can see where that shit comes from though.
Half the games these days are so fucking cluttered you need shit like that and “detective vision” or whatever to even distinguish the interactable objects from the scenery. The later Tomb Raider reboots are the fucking worst for this.
Yeah, but at least that was a joke to introduce you to the jump button.
One of the first communities I blocked.
Or indeed how much it weighs.
Fabric dye? Sometimes I wish we hadn’t done all this testing on animals to make sure this stuff was safe to consume…
Probably something to do with all that ivermectin.
Surely the judge still has a role, and that is to determine the punishment if found guilty.
There’s a bit more now.
