Oh, I love this game, it stressed me out so much I could use some parts of th soundtrack as an alarm clock and be right away awake. It was so stressful and rewarding and the DLC's brought some nice additional missions to the mix. Have fun.

It's hard to judge really old movies on modern devices because theye are simply not made for them. The format, the audio and the medium are all off and people compare it to modern movies made for streaming plattforms, flat TV's and high definition audio devices. And of course this doesn't work.

I had this issue recently whenever I saw a review of the animated Lord of the Rings movie by Ralph Bakshi. The reviewer was laughing how silly it looked like and showed the material from a dvd or streaming service. It was so much brighter and lacked the play with shadows the VHS had.

Highlander (1986). The swords shoot sparks, and everybody has the wrong accent in this MTV Song of Roland. Hollywood doesn't believe in magic or cocaine hard enough to make 'em like this anymore.

Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers.
One day, it will be fully solved like checkers.
Between now and then, or even after, have fun.
People enjoy many games/sports where machines are vastly betterThere are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

This might help you a little, I too have an allergy to milk, but there are two kinds. Milk in general and the animal specific. If you are allergic to cow milk specially you still can substitutice with goat milk, sheep or buffalo milk. I hope you are in a region where these are available to you.

Every time a music band I follow releases a new album the first single is picked appat and "fans" calling this album their greatest failure, that they lost their spark and so on. There are just some people who like to shit on things others might enjoy because their taste isn't 100% catered to

Probably just looking for more soil. 😅 Sadly, as long as the soil is in your apartment/house, they will be there. I don't know the name in your country but the scientific name is Sciaridae, I believe. Hope that helps you to find a remedy.

Do you have plants? Last year I had an infestation of similar ones that came from the potted plants. If it's the same thing you brought them with the plant soil and 1. Need to toss it out or 2. heat it in the oven to kill the eggs. For the ones already on the run, get an insecticide that is pet safe

I saw the animated Lord of the Rings when I was 8. I wanted to start reading it, because I recognized the books on our shelf. My mother then told me, that I should start with the Hobbit. I finished it on my 9th birthday and was pissed, because we were on vacation and didn't bring the first book.

If you do butt exercises, yes. But I do recommend starting doing exercises without the plate to build a foundation. These plades are more for advanced muscles and might be overwhelming for beginners.

My Pops picked up photography about ten years ago, but the pandemic turned him into a full‑blown student of the craft. He spends many of his summer evenings capturing hummingbirds — and recently learned their wings can act like tiny prisms when the light hits just right. Magic in motion.

Truth be told, I was NOT confused with the show bring killed off after one season. The reason I developed commitment issues with shows on Netflix IS the frequent cancellations of their shows after one season. Old TV shows? Yes. Crime Shows also, but everything else is strangled in the crib by them.
