an interesting detail about a possible ongoing crime:
‘the unredacted affidavit also noted that between May 24, 2022, and June 1, 2022, Mr. Nauta took 64 boxes out of the storage room at Mar-a-Lago but put back only 25 or 30 of them… “The current location of the boxes removed from the storage room but not returned to it is unknown,” the affidavit said.’

‘The allegations include claims that Nauta discovered that several boxes in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago had fallen, spilling classified documents, and photographed the mess that allegedly included documents restricted to the “Five Eyes” western intelligence alliance.’

You see bridges. We see Europe.
Cohesion funds are helping European regions and communities get closer, one masterpiece at a time:
- The Brăila Bridge, inaugurated today in #Romania, is the largest bridge over the Danube and Europe's third-longest.
- The new Świnoujście Tunnel in #Poland is the longest EU-funded underwater tunnel at 1,440 metres in length.
Funded 85% by the #EU, they show what #Europe can achieve.

actually there were a few pricks on years-old reddit threads who were like, "did you expect the game to just hand you everything?"
Yes! Yes, I did. Fallout 1 gives you appropriate starting items based on what skills you choose to emphasize in character creation.

god that sucked. getting through the first area was bad enough that I was more wary than excited for more Fallout II after it was over.
I didn't research this beforehand, but apparently everyone else hates the tutorial area, even people who otherwise count it as one of their favorite games

I was fully not expecting to be a "1 is better!" guy because usually a close sequel like this refines the base game but this feels like it's punishing you for not doing a melee build.

Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda

Kraken ordered to turn over user information to U.S. tax investigators

- Kraken ordered to turn over user information to U.S. tax investigators Bad news for wealthy crypto traders on Kraken, who previously might have hoped to evade paying taxes on their past crypto trades. A judge has ordered the exchange to turn over information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on users who engaged in at least $20,000 in trades in any year between 2016 and 2020. Although Kraken argued against the order, describing it as an "unjustified treasure hunt", the judge determined that the IRS was justified in its request, and ordered Kraken to cough up the records. The IRS alleged that although the exchange has more than 4 million users, and has processed $140 billion in trades since its inception in 2011, only 288,330 of those users have filed tax returns.
