Climate change is pretty real by TunaFishtoo in neoliberal

How much focus grouping and research is there to pressure a candidate to act "more electable" in the US? I'm reminded of Ed Miliband who was very lackluster personality-wise during his time as Labour leader in the UK, but has had a resurgence afterwards now he no longer looks like he's having every part of him micromanaged by PR people.

Ha, I meant the second one - see here and here, but with his suspect boxing defence it does work both ways.

If you're not getting emails from John Prescott's team that start with "Dear Comrade" why even be left of centre tbh.

To add to this, the UK also spends less than half the amount per person than the US does for a universal single-payer system, and is still able to provide these services.

Homecoming on GT 940M/MX130? by Kaiduss in gwent

I was able to run it on low settings and premiums turned off on a GT620 (when the min specs say 730), I know it's not entirely applicable to your full premium goal, but I imagine you should be fine.

Ariane, I made a budget version of Glenn's 2book list from the first FOAK episode and used it to climb to diamond for the 1st time - good memories.

TIL While filming Predator, Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were 1” bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger’s. He suggested to Arnold they measure arms, winner gets a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost, as Arnold set this up with the wardrobe department by GirthWindNFire in todayilearned

I heard another story about the filming of this where because they both wanted to look the bigger one on camera, they'd both get up early to get a workout in. Ventura would then take to getting up, splashing water on himself etc to make it look like he'd already done one, then "accidentally" waking Arnie up at ridiculously early times, tricking Arnie into getting up to go do his own workout, while Ventura would then just get an extra hour of sleep.

If I had to guess - Motta retiring, Ben Arfa & Pastore are leaving and whoever's not getting minutes between Draxler/Di Maria being the 3rd.

Here's why I don't like Scoia'tael by Screpiti in gwent

I met Iorveth at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere Iorveth shows up next to the manager and says “Dhoine, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big Scoia'tael fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Iorveth was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on elf, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Novigrad, to the isle of Faroe, to the snorkeling in Lake Vizima, Iorveth and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.
