If anyone is thinking about having a rooster, though, make sure to also have chickens for it to court and mate with. Because roosters without chickens get crazy and start singing at all sort of inappropriate hours. Not fun waking up at 3 Am to a rooster having a psychotic breakdown because it doesn't have any social interaction. Or random screams at midnight that don't let you fall sleep because the poor thing is lonely. Be aware.

Absolutely none of the things being made for the bubble have any consumer use. The price hike is silicon wafers being bought to manufacture specialty NPU chips with soldered-in RAM, which happens to be the same prime matter used for consumer RAM and NVME disks. When the bubble pops, none of that material will be usable. It would costs hundreds of millions of dollars, again, to return manufacturing machines back to making consumer goods.

He was the queer kid of a Latina mother in the US who liked fashion and wanted to save the environment. Then it was focus grouped to death until the director and the main star left. Pete Docter killed the film because he hates people. "Want to make films that appeals to as many people as possible" means kill minorities representation to him. This attitude will eventually bankrupt Pixar.

It makes me sad because elio was supposed to be a cute story about a queer kid learning about his place in the universe. Instead, the original director and writer got kicked, the movie was butchered and a new film was made from the corpse that had nothing to do with the original premise. Then it was released without any marketing and the animators were blamed, "the movie flopped because of bean mouth!" No, is flopped because Disney is an evil pos that only wants profit and to cause suffering to minorities in order to extricate more money for the shareholders.

It has a very generous and flexible difficulty setting. Plus accessibility options. I started on normal and have been dropping down the difficulty whenever I gets too much, or disabling the skill based parts altogether. Then back up whenever a particular fight seems interesting, just to see how it plays out. It doesn't penalizes you at all, as it should. It is truly a game designed to be enjoyed fully, it never gets in the way of the player's enjoyment, and respects your time in ways no other jrgp does.

He placed the main channel on hold, but has still continued to produce content. He has an extraordinary game show in podcast format that shares very unique trivia called Lateral. He is also in the post-production phase of a new run of videos featuring a big road-trip, according to his newsletter. He also occasionally still makes new series of Technical difficulties.

Well, Jesuits were the child fucking colonialist spearhead of Catholicism in south Asia and parts of Latin America to further destroy local cultures and complete the cultural side of genocides. So, that tracks.

My current favorite conspiracy theory is that Paramount is doing all this in order to accelerate a contractual split in Warner. Because the sale would mean that CNN gets puts in a different basket company. That's what David Ellison actually wants to buy, and it is what neither Paramount or Netflix wants to buy. So, in theory, this is all part of Ellison's trying to get to CNN before the US 2026 electoral cycle.

Aura is the medical term for a visual artifact seen by people right before a migraine. I have chosen this interpretation of the name and find it apt.

The company changed names and was sold in a stock restructuring. They took the money from community backers, refuse to deliver the books to them. Now they claim they have no responsibility to pay author's royalties for books already sold, they also don't have money to deliver or ship books. Half the people who work there quit. It's 238 authors who are collectively owed more than £650,000.

Venezuelans are ready to throw off the dictatorship. Will the international community support us?

By Maria Corina Machado

I am writing this from hiding, fearing for my life, my freedom, and that of my fellow countrymen from the dictatorship led by Nicolás Maduro.

Mr. Maduro didn’t win the Venezuelan presidential election on Sunday. He lost in a landslide to Edmundo González, 67% to 30%. I know this to be true because I can prove it. I have receipts obtained directly from more than 80% of the nation’s polling stations.

We knew that Mr. Maduro’s government was going to cheat. We have known for years what tricks the regime uses, and we are well aware that the National Electoral Council is entirely under its control. It was unthinkable that Mr. Maduro would concede defeat.

We Venezuelans have done our duty. We have voted out Mr. Maduro. Now it is up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate a demonstrably illegitimate government. The repression must stop immediately, so that an urgent agreement can take place to facilitate the transition to democracy. I call on those who reject authoritarianism and support democracy to join the Venezuelan people in our noble cause. We won’t rest until we are free.

La candidata María Corina Machado, de Vente Venezuela, obtenía 552.430 votos que representaba el 93, 13% del total con el 26,06% de las actas escrutadas que la dan como ganadora de la consulta interna de la plataforma unitaria demócratica, anunció la madrugada de este 23 de octubre el presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Primaria, Jesús María Casal, al dar a conocer el primer boletín del proceso.

Después de denunciar un bloqueo en sus servidores, que impidieron transmitir los primeros resultados, la favorita del proceso sumaba 552.430 votos, de 601.010 mil de los que se habían totalizado hasta el momento.

En segundo lugar estaba Carlos Prosperi, candidato de Acción Democrática, quien durante la tarde del domingo dijo en un video que no iba a reconocer los resultados al sostener que hubo irregularidades durante la jornada.
