I watched that video today as well and thought it was both fantastic and infuriating!

Exactly! I had the same reaction as well! It just goes to show how the last couple of years have robbed our sense of time of all meaning and perspective!

I COMPLETELY lost it at the gym yesterday when I read that inane tweet from her: It REALLY set me off to no end.

I guess it's time for an update! I've hit my initial goal of once again fitting into my suits! In fact, the pants are fitting a bit loose around my waist and the jackets are fitting a little snug around my shoulders which pleases me greatly! As for my waist, I'm back down to 34" which is exactly where I wanted to be by the end of January/middle of February so I'm a bit ahead of schedule. For all practical purposes, this means that I can ease up a bit on the two-a-day workouts while completely maintaining the 16/8 intermittent fasting schedule and the restricted diet. But most importantly, I can start playing videogames again as I'd decided to put my preferred hobby on hold while I got my physical conditioning back to where I wanted it to be! Funnily enough, I'm back to exactly where I was about two years ago when I made this thread: What REALLY pisses me off is that I was doing freakin' great until the Most Boring/Stupidest Apocalypse Ever COMPLETELY derailed my progress I sure as hell ain't gonna let that happen again!

However, he was a little tired from playing in yesterday's snow.

A $150 therapeutic dog bed and this is where he decides to take a nap.

This is a cogent analysis. So much of Western prosperity is entirely dependent on the lives of the Global South that only the threat that climate change poses to those lives and by extension the relatively comfortable Western lifestyle could possibly move the climate change "apathetics" to a more proactive stance (the climate change deniers are a lost cause).

Awwww...what's poor widdle Serbia gonna do about it? It's not like there are any Australian archdukes for them to assassinate like the last time their nationalist feelings got hurt.

Perhaps, but he's INFINITELY more Trumpian than Little Marco.

Every day my mother says a decade of the Holy Rosary for him to get infected with COVID and die

He means that Djokovic's dominance is largely due to him being the beneficiary of playing in an era punctuated by the decline of both Federer and Nadal as well as a dearth of talent on the men's side of the sport.

This is a first for Australia as people are usually deported TO there for breaking the rules!

I'd dare say that he committed an "unforced error".

Not anymore.

Djokovic has been deported from Australia.

Absolutely 100%! The US and Western Europe should be encouraging Ukraine, Georgia, et al. to seek accommodation with Moscow because that's the only way they're ever going to have any sense of stability and security.

And "coincidentally" one of the lowest rated for actual workers.

Let's say that a situation occurred where you could "eliminate" anyone in the world without risk or consequence to yourself or anyone that you cared about. In the event of this happy circumstance, how many people are on your theoretical "hit list" that would be removed from the human equation? For my part, it's well into the hundreds. And if you don't possess such a list, then what the hell is wrong with you?

At this point, I really don't think that the infection/hospitalization metric really has all that much utility. A far more useful metric would be the average hospitalization duration.

I'm largely speaking that it was a tech demo where a huge amount of computing power could be thrown at a very limited set of processes. For an actual game, that computing power would need to be distributed between the various gameplay and other systems.

Man takes hostages at synagogue, demands prisoner be freed | AP News APNEWS.COM COLLEYVILLE, Texas (AP) — A man took hostages Saturday during services at a Texas synagogue where he could be heard ranting in a livestream and demanding the release of a Pakistani neuroscientist who was convicted of trying to kill U.S.

That Matrix demo ain't gonna be representative of shit this generation.

The United States and Western Europe have zero strategic interests in Ukraine. End of story.
