Influencer says she was offered lots of money to endorse Trump. There, saved everyone the click.

They are hilarious and silly and inquisitive and sweet. I love our chooks.

In Australia we have 95% vaccination rates and we haven’t had quarantine, testing etc rules in place for like 2+ years now. Everything is fine.

The US is sitting at around 80% vaccination rate. Therein lies the problem.

So, not so much “humans” as “some humans”.

Simply not true. Some dogs really just enjoy pulling things apart. Our old girl - a golden retriever - could bite through a “super tough” kong in 10 minutes. She had no other interest in her toys beyond breaking them.

I would not recommend rope toys to a dog that enjoys destroying toys. They’ll end up swallowing it.

We found the “safe” wood chews worked best. You go through them quickly but they’re supposed to be destroyed by design. In Australia they’re called “coffee wood chews” but names no doubt vary from country to country.

I’ve copped a few whales tails in my time but usually I just think “geez Shiela, pull yer pants up” and get on with my day. No need for a bloody hospital visit.

“I loved Brokeback Mountain but find these John Wayne movies not to my taste”

Sounds like you like the setting - post apocalyptic - not necessarily the premise. Fallout is about the offbeat humour and violence. Silo is completely different (I loved Silo too).

I know pllllllllenty of people who don’t like Andor. They found it either “too Star Wars-y” or “not Star Wars-y enough”.

The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.

Yes MBFC is Extremely American in its definitions of left and right. A less US-centric rating would be much preferred.

I generally like the idea otherwise.

https://monumentaustralia.org.au/search Incredibly detailed info on monuments all over the country. Lots of non-conflict-related ones.

Haha couldn’t resist the NZ joke.

And the majority of small towns have a small memorial that you’d have to go hunting to find. Google searches will of course tend towards the bigger, more obvious ones.

I live in a country town. Our memorial is (literally) 1.2m tall, made of concrete and takes up less than 3m square. It has been there since the 80’s.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of fetishising the military. But the OP suggestion that they’re all massive monuments is patently absurd.

I’m thinking it’s “centre left” from an American perspective.

 

Article also lists upcoming fixes in the January patch, due out towards the end of the month.

I was loving the game, but got stuck a week ago on a progression issue (the Tanuu issue listed in the article) so hopefully I can start up again once this patch hits.
