It's interesting that this is reported as Netherlands pulls gold out of US and not Netherlands moves gold to Bank of England, even in the British press

they say that Japan is simultaneously living 20 years in the past and 20 years in the future. lots of legacy devices are still being used for all manner of quirky convenience devices. they also live in an extremely high trust society where networks don't necessarily need to be secured

If you want a very specific example, the original nintendo DS can only connect to WEP connections, which meant that when I was there I was able to play parts of DS games that wouldn't have been accessible in the west

Seriously. TOR is primarily funded by the US government. Maybe this or not all bugs are deliberately left in for the sake of allowing backdoors, but people should not forget this

This is assuming that the knowledge space being aimed at is discoverable solely by exploration of 1v1 games. Maths and maybe some of the sciences could be set up like this if you were very clever about it, but not much else.
You're falsely conflating knowledge with intelligence

Presumably they're referring to the general ease of obtaining a second phone number. I think the bigger issue could be making a second Whatsapp account though. WhatsApp does not want you having multiple accounts. Last I checked there's no in-app option to log out on Android other than to delete your account
Does Instagram even have reels in the browser? If it has I've never noticed them
Which is odd because the major reason Xbox is petering out is because it's been completely mismanaged. Sony and Nintendo are still doing just fine. Nintendo even had a dodgy console that no one bought within relatively recent memory. Xbox messed up with the One and then have just failed to get back on track. It's not like the industry is dying.

>Them, not him, I thought? The Master had several henchmen.

I'll admit part of the difficulty there was that I'd skipped the ends of earlier chapters because they were too easy, so I was missing some context like this

>Foes, fiends? (Ger. "Feind" and Swe. "fiende" both mean "enemy", so I've always thought that's the original meaning of Eng. "fiend" too.)

Foes sounds right yeah. I think there was another word at some point where a prefixed "I" seemed to indicate that the thing was "to me", and -an feels right to be an old plural form. I can't think of any straight away but instinctively I feel like there are words in modern English that pluralise similarly, perhaps in the names of some old organisations?

>Spouse -- almost wrote "wife" there, but that could have been confusing in this context -- of some old king of Wessex or something, innit?

That's the one. I don't remember exactly who they were but my memory is that she managed to be the spouse of two Anglo-Saxon kings, sometime not too long before William arrived

Of course. Doesn't change the reality that this is why someone would accept a justification that a neutral would easily see as plainly dishonest. Anyway, this is why we need unions

I was sarcastically pointing out the embedded assumption in the humour of the comment I was replying to. If you really must make this case, because it sounds like you've been waiting for the chance, go and make it to GP who was using spies from Canada and New Zealand as figures of absurdity. Perhaps also explain to him why "spies" got switched for "forces" and then "special forces" appropo of nothing

This is one thing I cannot fault Trump on. He's really succeeded in reducing European reliance on, subservience to, and respect for the USA. Now if we can stand on our own and not just swing further towards China instead, he'll have produced an absolute miracle

It's amusing to imagine spies from puny former British colonies snooping around the AT&T offices in trench coats and fedoras, but if this is the case, more likely they just share access to data from remote systems
