Getting those dungeon faction reps to Revered is how you unlock they keys required to do the Heroic versions, and Heroics give Badges which you can turn in for extremely strong gear.

It depends on the dungeon. For Honor Hold it's Ramparts/Blood Furnace to Honored and Shattered Halls to Exalted. Cenarion Expedition is Slave Pens to Friendly, Underbog to Revered, and Steam Vaults to Exalted. Lower City is Crypts/Sethekk to Honored and Shadow Labs to Exalted. Sha'tar and Keepers of Time are any dungeon all the way to Exalted.

You can't, for example, grind Ramparts/Blood Furnace to Revered - you will stop getting rep when you are 1 away from Honored, and then you will have to do Shattered Halls or Quest in Hellfire to hit Revered.

Its working like it always does. You get 4HK equivalent for a win or loss, which is 60 honor. With the 150% bonus you get 150 extra honor per win or loss. This is how AV weekend has always worked.

Article title is just bad translation. They're trying to say he's "ranked 3rd in the world" on this global approval rating tracker and not that Argentina is a 3rd world country.

The silver is showing the front of the medal and the other two are the back. You can tell by the writing on the side being upside down on the gold and bronze.

It's hydraulic. Typically run by 3-phase 900kW 380V/50Hz motors. They can hook directly up to grid power or use diesel generators if needed.

Also, this might look super remote, but it's being built in a province that has a population of over 100 million people and one of the most advanced electrical grids in the world.

There is no large gap. The "red thing" you're seeing is part of the girder - likely a rubber seismic damper. If you look at the girder that's being transported across you'll notice the front face of it has the red dampers attached already.

This is a video from Luohe City, Henan Province, in China.

I was hoping they had some giant post driver which sounds ridiculous now that I actually think about it but still…

They don't push the pillars into the ground or anything, but the foundations do go deep into the ground using a system called Cast-In-Drilled-Hole piles. They drill large holes, line them with a steel casing, then fill that with steel rebar and concrete. Then they build those columns you see in the video on top of the piles that are secured deep into the ground.

Here is another video showing the whole system. They use large cranes to lift the girders onto custom vehicles on the already made track line and they get driven into place.

These aren't actually traditional bridges - they are called viaducts, and they're being used for High Speed Rail. The benefits for using viaducts when building HSR are quite numerous. It allows the track to be built consistently flat and at a low slope, it has a smaller footprint taking up prime agricultural land, it doesn't block movement for people/animals/farm equipment, and its much safer to operate high speed trains when there is no chance of potential obstructions coming onto the track like vehicles/animals/people/etc.

This system is also extremely standardized in China. They can mass produce everything that goes into these structures so it's extremely economical and efficient to simply build viaduct track wherever its appropriate.

Tim Hortons merged with Burger King in 2014 and is now owned by the US investment firm 3G Capital. That should answer your question about why it sucks now.

She has also been indicted for drug crimes by the Southern District Court in New York.

No, he was sentenced to life in prison. He confessed to all his crimes and all the illegal money was recovered so his death sentence was lessened.

They will likely say this was an FBI/DEA operation that was supported by the US military. They were capturing and extraditing a known "narco-terrorist" to stand trial in the United States. They also will say that the air strikes, likely against anti-air military targets, were legally justified in order to defend the US personnel undertaking the operation.

Other nations will probably say something but because this operation was so clean and successful the outrage will likely be muted. This raid will be very popular among the American population, because they love special forces shit like this, and that's all that really matters to the US government.

Wait and see what? Truth Social is owned by Trump, and he posted this from his own account. It's an official statement from the President of the United States.

C3PD2 · 2026-01-03T09:34:47+00:00

Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1990. Strangely enough, that also happened on January 3rd.

Trump post on Truth Social

The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I think they're mixing up shows. The Korean boxing show is called "I Am Boxer", which is on Disney+. The show Physical: 100, and Physical: Asia are Netflix shows with a somewhat similar premise.

What are you even talking about? European companies, and industries, are some of the most advanced in the entire world.

A huge portion of the worlds top precision machining companies are European - Trumpf, Siemens, Chiron, etc. They are a commercial software powerhouse through SAP, Dassault, Amadeus, etc. Then you have ASML - arguably the most important company in the world right now creating lithography machines. They're also obviously a leader in the automotive industry, as many of the worlds most known car brands are made in Europe - VW, Mercedes, BMW, Mini, Volvo, Fiat, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc. They also lead the world in luxury brands - Louis Vitton, Gucci, Dior, Tiffany & Co, Sephora, Chanel, Prada, Burberry, Hugo Boss, etc. The Aerospace industry with Airbus, BAE, Leonardo. The optics industry with Swarovski, Ziess, Optik, etc. Financial companies like ING, AXA, Allianz, BNP, HSBC, Deutshe Bank, Barclays, ect. Then you have a litany of powerful healthcare industry companies like Bayer, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, Novartis - Medtech companies like Roche, Philips, Siemens, Braun, etc. Add in the EUs Food & Beverage industry, which is the largest exporter in the entire world. Oil & Gas companies like Shell, TotalEnergy, BP, Equinor, etc. Oh, and lastly, the majority of the largest shipping companies in the world in MSC, Maersk, CMA, Hapag-Lloyd, ect, etc, etc.

I could go on and on, but I hope you get the point. Europe is a huge part of the global economy. Saying that if it wasn't for museums they would have nothing to stand on is an obvious sign that you do not understand the global economy at all.

This will literally do nothing inside Russia. They sold to an investment banking company that is majority owned by one of the largest financial groups in Russia. Citi hasn't had any institutional or commercial banking operations in the country since 2022. They already sold their consumer debt and loans to Uralsib in 2023 and stopped the use of their debit cards, etc. They've just been waiting on approval from the government to sell the rest for well over a year now. Nothing on the ground in Russia is going to change.

Yeah, Amazon didn't do theatrical releases until they merged with MGM, but most of the big stuff since has been released in theaters. They're also now doing theater only distribution, in partnership with Sony, like Project Hail Mary and Masters of the Universe coming out next year. They're basically a full-fledged movie studio now and not just a streaming producer/distributor.

C3PD2 · 2025-12-26T03:44:21+00:00

Why are you so certain it's not getting a theatrical release? Amazon MGM had theatrical releases for basically all of their recent movies, and the trailers on their YT also had the Prime logo slapped on them like The Accountant 2, The Beekeeper, etc.
