RTing because it still seems like there are people who have not figured out that "destroying Yandex data centers = taking Russian bots offline" makes no sense

Remedy have achieved something unlike anything I've seen in nearly 40 years of video gaming. The back half of this game is wall-to-wall jaw-dropping set pieces.

I can barely remember my co-workers' names sometimes but for 30 years I've had right on the tip of my tongue the name of the little snot who reached over the center field wall and stole Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS from my Orioles

Unclear to me why this approach gets any traction when a) chip controls appear to be on their way out anyway and b) Beijing wants domestic chip suppliers to eat their own dogfood.

a document circulating online shows Harbin Engineering University issued disciplinary warning to 20 students for using VPN to visit foreign websites sad to think of the first email sent from China in 1987 that read “across the great wall we can reach every corner in the world”

The funny thing about the Qing specifically is that the stuff that everyone thinks about as emblematic Qing imperialism (Dzungar wars, conquest of Xinjiang) was not particularly tied to bigotry - the Dzungar genocide was brutal but also seems to have been a spur of the moment decision by Qianlong
