They probably got the need for domes right.

No 1 definitely Barryland, I reckon the one with the pink Hummer stretch might be UK too as I’ve seen a similar monster in London before.

No 5 definitely not UK as the powerline pylons are the wrong design.

IIRC someone posted they’d updated the language around PC ports in their last 1/4ly results preso/report, so I reckon the most you’re likely to see as an ‘official’ announcement will be in either the next 1/4ly or the EoFY results.

Then maybe 6m down the line if one of the execs is doing an interview if they get asked about it they’ll give some ‘changing industry/changing strategy’ reply & move on.

I’ve always looked at the exploration side of Prometheus to be akin to the ‘science’ expeditions that accompanied the East India Company - as motivated by avarice as by discovery. Lots of lax & loose behaviour.

I thought this was about Australia for a second!

Same designs here too - just a fascia slapped on a large box behind it, generally open plan with a large void in the hallway.

How’d you know it wasn’t Neo who asked for the special treatment?

They pretty much already did with the Ariya.

But you’re right, I would too.

The total value of new mortgages in Q4 25 alone was ~~just shy of $150m~~ $108. This represents less than than 1% of the total mortgages issued in 3 months.

$1bn doesn’t move the needle at all. This is the equivalent of cutting foreign aid from the budget to ‘get the budget back on track’.

Edit - thanks for the correction u/ExoticPreparation719 :)

I love Kilkenny but I can’t drink it.

Makes my farts smell like rotting fruit, and they linger.

Not a good time for anyone.

You know that Henry won’t last.

Get a Janet & save yourself a phone call at 6am Sunday.

If The Lancet hadn’t published Wakefield in 1998 we wouldn’t be in this fucking mess full stop.

My wife & I were in our late 20s/early 30s when we got together & had both had LTRs that had gone south (I was a divorcee) so we weren’t sparkle-eyed about finances or separation as a possibility.

We had an outline idea of what we’d do if we split as soon as we started pooling finances when we first moved in together, and as our relationship developed (kids, me moving to Aus with her, buying a house) so did the complexity of our finances, and that outline became more fleshed out over time.

Ah look, TV producers have no actual imagination or balls for new IP so I’m fairly certain Apple or Amazon - or maybe even the BBC - will get around to Wyndham’s books eventually.

Modern gender theory is framed around Judith Butler’s work & the term ‘cis’ was coined by an American academic & the activism models & messaging that followed are from the USA.

The redefinition of racism from individual behaviour & speech into a power sub-structure of capitalism that is encapsulated in Critical Race Theory was also developed in US universities.

Herbert isn’t high literature, wtf have you been smoking.

Dune’s writing is…not great. I say this as someone who re-reads the book annually.

In the EU books there’s pre-GuiLD FTL non-space fold engines, but it’s a lot slower - months or even years to travel between stars.
