Nuclear war would be absolutely apocalyptic. Lookup the US policy on “Launch on Warning” and “Hair-trigger alert”. Russia has the same thing and China by this point probably does, too. If the US were targeted those doctrines would come into effect and we’d go into “escalate to de-escalate” mode. And that’d make it worse.

There would be multiple thousands of warheads launched around the globe. EMPs would be detonated in the atmosphere, continent-wide power grids would fail. A single Ohio-class nuclear submarine has more destructive power than every bomb, including the two nukes, dropped in WWII — and they’d light the place up. And then you have all the various contamination in the air, soil, and water that would be cycled through the ecosystem for hundreds and thousands of years.

Pockets of people would live, certainly, but it’d be awful. Like Khrushchev said, “the survivors will envy the dead.”

I love how he can straight-face call the decision a “purely political move” that undermines “election integrity”. Maybe soon the brain worm can find a brief moment to spare for self-reflection.

I haven’t regretted it. Though if you were to do consistent long drives, and only have one car, I might suggest checking out PHEVs.

The thing about Morrowind for me was that it was so completely alien. It wasn’t just more sword and sorcery in the British countryside but instead unleashed ridiculous magic where people lived in giant shells/mushrooms and the fauna was like nothing I had ever seen. To say nothing of the mechanics which I found more engrossing than the follow on games.

And then you get to Oblivion and Skyrim and they’re Britain and Norway. Cool.

Oh, boy the baggies! When I was growing up in Mexico you’d get a soft drink poured into a baggie tied off with a straw on the boardwalks. iirc it was so they could redeem the bottles. I forgot that was a thing. Cool to see it’s still around.

I think that’s Dr Rachel Levine, a transgender admiral. It does seem odd that everything is over-labeled and then this otherwise random military person doesn’t require any explanation.

I read in another article that one of Guzman’s sons told him they were flying to look at some property to purchase and then they landed in the US and were immediately arrested. The article gave the impression the son, who was their finance guy iirc, was in on it. What he got out of it I have no idea.

The Democratic National Convention hasn’t happened yet, which is where the party selects their candidate. Generally the selected candidate at the DNC is the winner of the individual state primaries. So he could step down and the party simply picks someone else at the convention.

fwiw the quote is singular developer. They mean the developer of the game, Bethesda, will take a look and reevaluate. Nowhere are they suggesting Bethesda will involve literal software engineers in a dispute about $7 content. That would be insane, as you suggest.

Fuck yeah, Sacoglossans!

Some inner voice talking to me all time sounds fucking awful haha
