The BBC has been rabidly anti-Iran since like 2003, when I first started reading it.

India is getting an exemption from Russian sanctions because they're considered a counter-weight to China.

I do recall writing a text "battle" game in the Pokemon style with Harry Potter characters but that was a single battle sequence. It was also before I knew OOP and for my first programming class :) Your comment brought back some memories.

wow this sounds incredibly complex

Yup, this is my new go to. I don't even bother with the insurance reimbursement any more.

IDK my wife has no interest in my investments. I don't necessarily hide it from her, it's just not a thing that comes up.

Man how out of touch do you have to be to do that.

I won't buy a car smaller than most cars on the road. It's a safety issue.

5% for me instead of the usual 3%. I'm looking for jobs now.

That rewrite has been so bad, ruined probably the best mobile browser out there.

I was shocked and alarmed at the cellphone bills when I moved to the US from a third world country, and then my classmate who had moved to Canada sent me his bill...

I've read the first couple and it's p good mystery literature. It's not "growth" reading, more like fun reading. I'm enjoying the 90s throwbacks too, without cellphones etc.

My wife has worked her way through most of the series and says it gets better.

Oo I just started reading the Bosch series, am excited to pick up the show when I'm done!

After the crap that was Wheel of Time, they probably need it.

I've been doing 4-5 and it's the same for me.

What laptop did you get in 95? I didn't even know laptops were a thing then.

I wish I could do this. :( I have a bum knee that kills most possible exercises.

Does this mean email aliasing is gmail is going to break? I think you need less secure sign in for that to work.

I laughed at this one:

The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.[9]

It is nonsense... unless there's a greater endgame Russia is playing towards that we're about to find out.

2016 huh... I wonder what paradigm shift happened in the world order then...

Yeah agreed, in the moment it feels so much more meaningful and enjoyable but in retrospect.... where did the time go?

I suspect it's because we don't have enough time for introspection as the kids grow so there's nothing to anchor/solidify those memories.

Can you hit those spots if you're not white?

This is not very uncarrier, is it?

Or did they do away with that branding?

So... they want to go back to totalitarianism? That doesn't make a lot of sense. I get wanting to keep your culture and identity... but not at this price for people who were paying that price 3 decades ago.

Oof sounds like such a weird thing to happen in Poland of all places... I mean you guys saw first hand what xenophobia and fascism do in WW2. Poland should be the bastion of western liberalism, not whatever it is becoming now...

Oo I'll give this a shot. Thanks so much!

My Google Voice app lags for seconds... _seconds_... while typing out a text. It's insane.

I too would love an android app.

Yeah but on a macroeconomic level, if say Pakistan needs to take a loan from Turkey, how does that work without interest?
