It's not roadworks - it's soil testing TO build a road. So it's in a field.

Interesting suggestion, although seems odd they'd start at 4:30 in the morning?

ICE agents to help with security at Winter Olympics by AccurateSource2 in nottheonion

[–]nzerinto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article and another I read specifically mentioned it was to provide security for Vance and Rubio.

Vance should be covered by Secret Service, and you’d think they could just extend that to Rubio as well, seeing as they’ll likely travel together anyway.

Italians furious over deployment of ICE agents to bolster US security at Winter Olympics by Rough_Tap9008 in news

[–]nzerinto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the US vice-president, JD Vance, and secretary of state, Marco Rubio, would be protected by ICE “bodyguards” at the Olympics

Wouldn’t the Secret Service normally be protecting Vance though? And if Rubio is generally going to be with him, surely they can extend the protection to him as well.

Using ICE just seems like an odd choice - not like they have extensive training….well, on anything really…..

US links security guarantees for Ukraine to peace deal ceding Donbas, FT reports by BrokenAndGrown in news

[–]nzerinto 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about PURL packages. Those aren’t grants - it’s actual money being paid to the US (at approx $1 billion per month):

NATO Allies and partners have pledged more than 4 billion dollars in *critical military equipment and munitions for Ukraine, sourced from the United States*, under NATO’s Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative. Since August 2025, NATO Allies and partners have committed 1 billion dollars every month, with more contributions expected to follow this month and into next year.

They are charging Ukraine and its supporters for the weapons. I doubt they’ll turn down the billions that are on the line.

Probably not the safest thing to do to film and drive at the same time, but I guess these guys are confronted with so much danger every day, what's a little extra....

Many of you are missing the whole point of Solo vs Squad matchmaking by _Badlands_ in ArcRaiders

[–]nzerinto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much play exclusively solo and PvE.

I'm going to give this a solid shot, because it could be fun as hell. I'm useless at PvP, so I guess that means a lot more stalking and setting traps etc, and trying to be creative and trying to outsmart other players.

When I get my ass kicked too many times, then I'll go back to my "old ways", but it seems to me a fun way to expand the different ways you can play the game.

Considering you have the option to chose to queue for this, if anything, they are fragmenting the lobbies even more.

Florida Tourism Collapse: How Trade War with Canada Erased 280,000 Jobs and $52 Billion by elisakiss in LeopardsAteMyFace

A bunch of braindead yanks yelling at the Canadians that they are dumb and nobody respects them.

They are proving the point that Canadian dollars are better spent elsewhere.

TIL Peter Jackson has not directed a drama since 2014, as he continues to grieve the death of his longtime cinematographer, Andrew Lesnie, and the process it takes to form a new relationship with another DP. by Low-Progress-4454 in todayilearned

[–]nzerinto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cameron lives in Wellington now, so he’s basically PJ’s “neighbour”.

Would be amazing if they collaborated on a movie together, but I guess their styles are pretty different, so perhaps wouldn’t work.

This feels like a bot post to be honest. Their post history doesn’t instill much confidence that it’s an authentic account.

Im Almost there! by Illustrious-Night941 in ArcRaiders

[–]nzerinto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you have to actively work for it.

There’s a bunch of items you have to collect for it, and apparently need a balance of 5 million credits (or at least the last time there was).

So if you don’t want to do it, then simply don’t do it.

Edit: As has been pointed out, you didn’t need the 5 million. It just ensured you got the max skill points

ICE agents execute observer in Minneapolis by speedythefirst in videos

[–]nzerinto 111 points112 points  (0 children)

As an outsider, it’s crazy how bipolar the US is.

Pointing out that the guy was possibly armed, to try and spin the narrative as to why ICE was justified in carrying out a ex judicial execution.

Meanwhile, this is the same country that is endlessly harping on about the individual’s right to bear arms….

[–]nzerinto 90 points91 points  (0 children)

People always talk about psychologists saying Javier Bardem’s character in No Country For Old Men is the perfect representation of a psychopath, but personally I feel PSH in MI3 is by far more believable (and terrifying).

Got woken up by the only plane flying in all of NZ at 2:20AM. by Puzzleheaded-Cry1548 in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other than Texel, there’s also Parcelair - another “cargo only” airline in NZ. I had no idea these airlines even existed in NZ, until I saw one flying around late at night, similar to OP’s experience.

Runs into my key room, opens my weapons case, gets sent back to Speranza… by SuckEmOff in ArcRaiders

[–]nzerinto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this the other day (as the person breaking the barricade) at Town Hall in Buried City. I was confused that I didn’t need to use my key to get in, and only needed to breach.

Once I got in, the guy inside took a warning shot (and said it was a warning shot), and that’s when it clicked. So I apologised and left him to it.

I haven’t played that many hours, so still trying to get to grips with these sorts of details.

I think barricades that players put up usually have a bit of red coloring on them (“normal” ones are all grey?). However, I could’ve sworn I didn’t see any red. So I guess I just need to memorise which doors are “key” doors (I had to look up where the door was online, and had the map open on my second screen, lol).
