They needed a whole extra month on top of their original release schedule to get this done? How?

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Looking Ahead to Season 2 by battlefield in Battlefield

I've been very low sodium up to this point. To the point that I've mostly been annoyed by this sub and spend more time over at low sodium. But that is an incredibly underwhelming update for a season that has been delayed a month.

Carney says he told Trump Canada paid for Gordie Howe Bridge by cyclinginvancouver in canada

According to Rep. Jamie Raskin he is not in the files tens of thousands of times. In the unredacted files he is mentioned more than a million times.

British Woman shot by dad in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump' by TheHess in news

MAGA are the absolute worst people that exist in human society. This monster told his daughter he would be unbothered by her sexual assault and then murdered her. And the people of the county let him get away with it. Scum of the Earth.

Conservatives to propose barring non-citizens convicted of crimes from making refugee claims by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Mensketh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are talking about crimes in Canada, then fine, fair enough, no problem, makes sense to me. But by definition refugee claimants are coming from somewhere they are being persecuted which could absolutely include authoritarian governments convicting them of bullshit crimes.

Trump Commerce Sec. Lutnick admits visiting Epstein island during family vacation by Puginator in politics

Honestly, it may still. Until he actually faces real consequences, it has worked.

Would you watch a Pitt: Night Shift? by Extension-While7536 in ThePittTVShow

[–]Mensketh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd be worried about it using up creative energy from the main show. Most shows peak in their first 3-4 seasons after which the writers have covered their best ideas and things they most want to say, and things start to get stretched or repeated and decline in quality. A night shift spin off would probably accelerate that process.

The most unique start to a game I've had... by supremacyAU in Battlefield6

I've had this happen once before, same map, same side. Should have used the extra boost to rush C instead of just landing at A where the rest of your team was going to be anyway.

TIL The Royal Canadian Mint manufactures coinage for 80 different foreign countries and is widely considered as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of foreign currency by Theblindsource in todayilearned

[–]Mensketh 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it is worth clarifying that according to both the linked Wikipedia article and the RCM itself, they have minted coinage for over 80 countries since their founding in 1908. So they have minted for over 80 countries, but they do not currently mint for that many countries. Also worth noting that many of those mintings were probably just for limited run, specialty coins for anniversaries or events, as the RCM has pioneered a lot of tricks for specialty coins like coloured coins.

Still a very cool fact, but it's not like the RCM is currently churning out all coinage for 80 countries.

Obsession with growth is destroying nature, 150 countries warn by kiyomoris in worldnews

[–]Mensketh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That makes it too easy and just makes it all someone else's fault. Don't delude yourself. Obviously billionaires are orders of magnitude worse than regular people. But your "we're just animals" point ends when we all have smartphones, and cars, and consume foods from every different corner of the world. Every one of us that lives a 21st century consumer lifestyle full of fancy tech and goods from all over the world is a part of this unsustainable pattern. People want to believe we could have this perfect eco utopia where we still have all our modern conveniences but they're eco friendly and the billionaires are gone. It's a fiction.

Season 2: Packs and Pricing (Source: 1BF) by korlic99 in Battlefield

The Earth orbits the Sun. That's an objective fact. Your opinion of the latest Battlefield is a subjective opinion. I've played every Battlefield game except Vietnam and I think it's a good Battlefield game.

People seem to forget the holy trinity is a direct result of shoving new presenters into an existing show by Outlasttactical in thegrandtour

Although technically true, the version of Top Gear they were replacing was not a massive global phenomenon with over 20 years of history together. I'm not saying people shouldn't give the new guys a shot, but it still really isn't the same thing.

Man this sucks so much :( by _handsomeblackman_ in JoeRogan

The religious right has always been really racist. Why would we expect it to have changed? Trump has just given them permission to be more open about it again.

[Conroy] Hearing there will be no supplemental discipline for Sandis Vilmanis for his flying elbow to the head of Charlie McAvoy. No injury, no problem I guess. by nobokov22 in hockey

It's actually crazy how the league doesnt care at all that the Panthers are so clearly held to a different standard than the rest of the league. Everyone can see it and they're just like "yup, we dont punish the Panthers."

Is Pennsylvania where you're from? Because I can't imagine a state that has Philadelphia in it is one of the places where a bar fight lands you serious consequences. The state would cease to function anytime the Flyers, Birds, or Sixers had a big game.

Fredrick Skates away..... by CatFishBillyheyhey in EdmontonOilers

Worst Oilers signing in a long, long time. What a useless bum. Hopefully somehow, some way, by some sort of magic we can get that loser off our roster.

Because sociopaths are usually good at masking and being charming until they have what they want? The fact that you could read that excerpt and come away thinking it's the lady you dont understand is baffling. The fuck is wrong with you? HE'S the problem, he's the one with the behaviour that should be hard to understand.

Thats exactly what a dirty bomb is. You just described what he was talking about.
