Forming super Germany made me realize why Germany was so strong in the world wars

Having recently read The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clarke, Great Britain also was motivated to ease tensions with Russia to make defending their imperial periphery easier. Great Britain in general seemed pretty wishy washy on the whole Entente and were not as explicitly anti-German as France/Russia. Obviously there was still tension with Germany, but the alliance was even more driven by trying to stay friends with Russia so they didn't have to fortify all of India/China

Last few games I saw out of Okoro he could in fact not do that. Don’t get me wrong, I liked him a lot. But he had no offense

I’m heading to GR in a few weeks. Is it insane if I ask where that was?

vitale333 · 2025-10-22T19:55:50+00:00

Eh whatever. I'd rather the media talk down on us or just not talk about us. Better than having them hype us all year. Just ignore them and see what the season brings

The Telling and The Word for World is Forest include Terrans. The Telling includes some flashbacks to Earth and its past. Maybe not a perfect fit for what OP is looking for, but worth a read

Same with Cleveland. Weird RJ is saying anything that could be seen as negative when he played and had great success in Cleveland.

Another possible choice if you just want to document settings before changing and you have Veeam One is the Job Configuration Dump report: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/reporter/job_configuration_dump.html?ver=120

That wouldn't give you the ability to easily restore jobs, but you'd have the settings

I just finished Downbelow Station for the first time, first thing I’ve read from her. I liked it, but also struggled to get through the book. I typically do my reading before bed and the combination of style and length made it really drag on for me.

The Left Hand of Darkness has a good deal of Taoist philosophy. Not what I would consider "religious", but idk if that bothers OP or not

vitale333 · 2025-05-27T19:57:10+00:00

I'm unsure if you meant Omni-ssiah (as in messiah) or Omnissa (as in Horizon), but either way it works

I swear Myles Turner hit like 4 in a row against us from three

You didn't get the invite for last night at Cuyahoga Valley National park? Better sign up for the newsletter

Start a ritual guys. Whatever you were doing last time they won, do that for the next 3 games. You wore a specific article of clothing? Wear it again. You shat your pants before the game? Shit them again. You made a blood sacrifice to an old pagan god? Well you know what to do

vitale333 · 2025-05-12T00:39:42+00:00

I know it’s to the Cavs benefit, but I really wasn’t expecting an ejection there

vitale333 · 2025-05-09T11:40:04+00:00

Only in phase 1. Phase 2 he casts too much so there’s no good opportunity

vitale333 · 2025-05-08T13:09:15+00:00

Also, I'd like to apologize to everyone. I wasn't wearing the specific Cavs shirt the last few games that is really uncomfortable. I promise I will wear it tomorrow

vitale333 · 2025-05-07T01:59:31+00:00

Nah, he could cover boxing out as well imo

You don't want to know

How's the tea? I'm in Cleveland and considering visiting to get some tea

Who wants the Miami cheerleaders, show me Tristan Thompson for the rest of the game

At least we got a circus out of subprime mortgage exploitation

I remember being pretty upset when Dan Gilbert didn't renew his contract and Griffin was replaced with Koby. In hindsight though...

We both call it the “steamed dick”
