And it hacks the AI taxis to bring more customers and locks the doors so they can't leave until they have no money. Then it looks for a free source of meat.

So US generators will have to increase the capacity drastically just in time for the AI companies to be culled when their venture capital runs out and most of them are not making any money.

If they want an early election they just have to be even less popular than they are currently which is a challenge to be fair. Of course the two "R"s have to lose more support as well so here's hoping.

It would help if the radio edit version was on a different podcast stream as I suspect that most listeners want one or the other not both.

Would be better if they used to host anti Putin statements on the advert hoarding.

The shipwrekt podcast has a very in-depth account of that battle by ex RN types who actually understand gunnery and ships. They were not very complimentary on either side. Basically the RN ships had been on station for too long and were out of practice.

You will see all the tech bros corporate HQs "based" there for tax reasons and Gibraltar, Panama and British Virgin Islands will go into recession as they lose their best customers.

So will that include Irish nationals? Or as usual all means different things to their voters.

Also plenty of Scottish wars between Royals and various Nobles especially the Douglases never mind the whole Bruce vs Baliol thing. It's actually quite hard to get detail on earlier Scottish history because it's all in the shadow of the Stuarts and Wallace etc

Obviously he doesn't know the least bit of the history of failed US invasions of Canada or the fact that it was created by people who didn't want to be any part of USA.

He doesn't want us to know what he is actually doing. If he has official security he would have to explain his actions and who he is meeting.

When I read in a 70s kid's book that the Germans lost more casualties than the allies yet it is always portrayed as a disaster it started me on a very long mission to find out more. There are more paths to victory than simple yards gained.

If it wasn't for his beloved Brexit we could have afforded both but he insisted in breaking the economy.

Probably because they were used to voting against SNP on every issue and like most referendums, voters voted to annoy the government rather than actually thinking.

They could just buy us then evict every one they didn't need with our leaders last with no complaints. They would force us to wear horned helmets as well as revenge for all those bad viking images.

One can hope but I suspect that it will be sold as a victory and they will then do a full land invasion of Cuba to return it to its rightful owners, the Mafia.

But as you can't get a mortgage to pay it, it does keep prices down for the lower price houses. The real issue is the lack of supply and that needs more social housing to be built at reasonable rents so there is a genuine choice of rent or buy

Similar but at the end of the episode he bankrupts the patient to pay for his medical school fees or another Porsche.

What is the US plan for when the Cubans retaliate by sending lots of small drones to "harass" all those US cruise ships in the Carribbean causing the entire industry to shut down?

Calvados can be incredibly good. Both a recommendation and a warning. Plus there is also that whole Norman thing as well as those few months in 44, so you will probably have to come back

All council budgets are published and she never bothered to read them. Typical reform, can't be arsed to read more than a headline.

Proof that he is not a scientist as they are very strict on definitions. Not that the space rock cares what some apes call it.

So basically they were willing to make any sacrifice to get an ambassador in Washington that Trump would like. Obviously a competent woman would just have got nowhere with him. They should just have got a semi retired professional golfer as the "ambassador" and kept the existing one as his "deputy".

Is he talking about Italy Greece Hittites or really just the people who's ancestors never left their region regardless of the language of those in charge who wanted their taxes and are now the inhabitants of Istanbul.

Not even enough to make the tankies tea before action, but probably enough afterwards when they had finished their Balaklava reenactment.

She didn't randomly explode or collide with any friends or land so that's a successful career in the navy.

He has shown that despite it's huge number of ships and resources the US Navy is struggling and US army can't do anything without allies to base them.

His successors will find themselves in a new naval/air/space race with Europe. The one thing that the US domination of NATO was designed to prevent. At best a lot more money spent on unnecessary kit at worst higher risk of actual conflict. Idiot

Perhaps if you were charging some of your ex faculty "colleagues" or university budget management might help. Or just certain students.

Why was this not hit in the first few hours? Something wrong with the US target priority methinks. I doubt that they were sitting on the footage till today. Almost as if they didn't expect the world's leading exporter of combat drones to have any drones of their own.

I think Mussolini is a more appropriate role model especially with his record for lying about his accomplishments and disastrous foreign adventures.

I think you are asking the wrong question. You should be wondering which scale to start first. Because you know that you will end up doing both. Logically you should pick the scale that matches your existing terrain or in your case looks best on camera. Ultimately whichever you like painting best.

Need? You just subscribe to creators you value and can find things from them if you really want to watch something again or to continue a partially watched show. Turned history off years ago and it's so much better

Until UK citizens learn what their country is actually called they will never understand their own history. Most even have a passport with the name on the front of it but still get it wrong.
