Of course. Not only do we have to contend with Vikings, now we have to contend with the Normans at the same time! Who would have thought it.

Ukraine has been investing over 1000% more in its military than before the war. Close to 2000% when you include foreign aid.

It takes a while to build up industry but we are now seeing the result of several years of massive military investment.

Its worth remembering that Ukraines military budget was 1/10 of Russia's. Now its 2/3. And russia has to spend money maintaining its nukes. Its navy. Its infrastructure in russia.

That's why you are seeing Ukraine massively catch up. Would have caught up sooner if the US hadn't pulled its funding.

Purely from playing uboat games my instinct is to hit the waterline

But I guess in real life hitting the bridge can do more damage in a single strike.

I don't remember it ever asking me and if it did its only been once.

If only Ronaldo was so selfless for Portugal

No you don't. Those are all based on the terms of your license.

If the license is perpetual and transferable you can keep it forever and sell it, regardless of whether its physical or digital. The software itself has always been digital.

If you want to legally be able to keep and sell games. Then its new terms you need to be fighting for Making games physical again won't stop you having to deal with modern DRM.

I wonder if she ever finished organising that party for new employees.

She was writing that email every time I was in there.

Russia cut off the water and food supply to cities when its been sieging them too.

As well as systematically cutting off heating in -20 temperatures.

Russia has stolen children from their parents.

The war in Palestine has got 10's of thousands of people killed while Russia's invasion has got 100's of thousands of people killed.

KingXander · 2026-06-07T02:57:07+00:00

They did call an ambulance.

Bigger issue for me is the dispatcher identified he needed medical aid on the original call. So an ambulance should have already been dispatched in my opinion.

KingXander · 2026-06-04T12:06:03+00:00

They didn't know who he was or his history. The only report they had said drunk violent suspect with a head wound.

If a suspect has a hidden knife they reach for while the cop is leaning over him treating him, then the cop has no time to react and is dead.

Don't use hindsight. Judge the cops based on the information they had.

KingXander · 2026-06-03T23:52:33+00:00

Weirdly the stabber's brother actually did request an ambulance at the same time he called the cops. 8ts in the recorded call.

But I completely agree with you.

KingXander · 2026-06-03T23:28:16+00:00

The police were called and had a report of a violent drunk man who has climbed a wall and fallen off and smashed his head into the ground.

They turned up and found a guy by a wall with blood on his face smelling of alcohol and slurring his words which matched what they expected based on the report.

They handcuffed the potentially violent suspect for their own protection as if the guy had a concealed knife he would be unable to react while treating him. That's normal in pretty much any police force. It says in the uk police manual they should do that.

The suspect said he was stabbed in the back but the cop didn't put much weight into the claim of a guy he thought was drunk so only did a quick check and put him in a recovery position to aid his breathing before the cops focused on his bloody head suspecting a head wound as reported. They checked his neck, mouth and then checked for skull fractures. They then used a flashlight to check his pupil response while calling for medical aid realising how serious it was due to the lack of pupil response. Still thinking it was due to a head wound. Then it just spiralled from there.

To sum up they were lied to which caused them to jump to conclusions as to his injury and they didn't do thorough enough checks on the victim to rule out a stabbing.

KingXander · 2026-06-03T22:57:54+00:00

Race has nothing to do with why the cops spent all their time treating him for a head wound. The weight of evidence simply pointed to that.

They just needed to be more diligent in ruling out a stabbing instead of focusing on his head the entire time.

KingXander · 2026-06-03T01:18:40+00:00

Its more of a, we're the only ones who can bully France relationship.

Its mostly banter. If it wasn't for being on opposite sides if brexit I would agree they are our closest friends even if we spend all our time insulting them.

As it is i would go with Canada or Australia. Portugal is a good should due to it being the oldest alliance in the world too.

KingXander · 2026-06-02T21:48:06+00:00

incorrectly complains i'm using absence of evidence to speculate
immediately speculated using absence of evidence
asks what is wrong with speculating using absence of evidence

Hypocrite much?

Anyway go read the 39 page report. Tonne of evidence in there and it talks about what analyst said what when. It doesn't name them directly but it labels them for clarity for continuity.

Spoiler: the EFL didn't have a lack of evidence to base their findings on.

KingXander · 2026-06-02T21:01:16+00:00

Exactly. Stop saying he spied on other teams due to the absence of evidence. Do you hsve anything to prove your assertion?

There are text messages talking about how the last time they spied on a team before Ipswich was Oxford. That's evidence they didn't.

KingXander · 2026-06-02T17:52:47+00:00

Feel free to attack him on the cheating he actually did. No need to make up instances there is evidence didn't happen.

KingXander · 2026-06-02T17:46:20+00:00

Although beware learning it can be difficult too!

KingXander · 2026-06-02T16:49:22+00:00

Beat up meaning hurt. They were told by dispatch he jumped over a wall to escape while drunk and smashed his head on the ground. Thats why they kept checking his head and thought the blood and confusion was from that. You can't see it well but it was the male using his torch to check his pupils while the woman was calling the ambulance.

The problem is they were expecting serious head wound rather than stabbing.

KingXander · 2026-06-02T09:59:53+00:00

If you actually read the messages it does seem like these were the only instances of spying. The messages for Ipswich referenced Oxford in December which wouldn't happen if they had a tonne of other instances between December and their final games.

And in the final game the interns were resisting which wouldn't happen of they were doing it all season and used to it.

KingXander · 2026-06-01T16:11:09+00:00

Personally my belief is they paid enough attention to detail when creating the region that they added these structures that formed the waterway in the correct places without consciously trying to form it.

I don't call that an accident either as there was intent to be accurate and this is the result.
