I suspect that this might be a tactic intended for the domestic audience. The current government is extremely unlikely to be in power a week from now, and might be doing this just to force the next government to either follow through or retract it

Concrete is something like a tenth of humanity's total CO2 emissions, so if this is something that lets us use less concrete then that's actually great

Depends on what's on offer in the steam sale! Although I did pick up the Myst remaster, so I might just be having a crack at that

For only 7.99 you can get enough store points to open three Crates of Eden, each of which has a chance to give you four seconds of total invisibility or two silent takedowns!

It's actually in England, although funnily enough the part of England it's in is called Cumbria, which has the same origin as the Welsh for Wales "Cymru". So it's sort of in Wales, just not the Wales that we call Wales in English.

Anyway it's Old English torr, Middle Welsh penn, and Danish hoh. And like many British place names the pronunciation is not what you would expect at all at first glance. It's "tra-pen-uh"

The map has south at the top. Look in the bottom right quarter and you can see the Mediterranean, and the islands at the bottom right edge are Britain and Ireland

Why is the continent described as "west of the Old World" when it's drawn exactly where the southern half of Africa actually is? I can't work out why he would think it's separated from the rest of Africa, but that definitely looks like Tanzania and Mozambique to me

Apologies, I was using "NATO troops" as a shorthand for the large number of countries involved rather than the specific command structure. You are right to bring that up

It's not at all unreasonable to hope for it, but you need to see sufficiently low support for the party in question. That does not look even slightly plausible in the upcoming US election. It might happen in the upcoming UK one, and you can see clearly the difference in polling and reporting
