Yeah, does contradict himself, at least from my understanding of things.

Over New Years and Christmas, are they working on projects?

My apologies, I didn't know about this. https://hir.harvard.edu/true-sovereignty-the-cfa-franc-and-french-influence-in-west-and-central-africa/

The Macron-Ouattara announcement represents a needed reform. But it is just one of many that needs to happen. Going forward, the challenge will be to keep the benefits of the CFA franc monetary zone, namely a stable currency and low inflation, while transitioning to a new institutional system away from France. A monetary system that holds a former colonial power as the guarantor, regardless of announcements or agreements, will always ultimately fail to eradicate neocolonialism.

Are you talking about Overseas France? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_France

Overseas regions have exactly the same status as France's mainland regions.

Seems similar to Puerto Rico, Samoa and the others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States

The French love to riot and protest the govt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_France.

The British frequently review and criticise it's past actions https://www.jstor.org/stable/2637720

Of course, we also acknowledge the Norman and Roman invasions of Britain, but it happened so long ago we don't expect the Italians or French to apologise about it now..

Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans, and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves

...

We are crumbling because of a lack of self respect, morales, and respect for others. Greed and gluttony has consumed us. The top 1% decided long ago they weren’t going to bring everyone else with them. You are cattle to them

Aren't routers usually provided with random default passwords these days?

It could be a picture from 100 years ago if it wasn't for the satellite dish.

Although that's assuming the telegraph pole is delivering electricity, so maybe only 50 years ago.

Penny Dreadfuls and Pulp Magazines are examples of low quality fiction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_dreadful

For me at least, reading generally takes more effort for me than just doom scrolling, where I honestly just look at the pictures and captions.

What is he wearing? It looks to me like a hoody in a weird material.

Edit: looks like it's traditional. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2RETBDR/man-and-woman-in-traditional-dress-holsteinborg-greenland-inuit-eskimo-sissimiut-2RETBDR.jpg

While beneficial to consumers who are able to take advantage, for example by charging an electric car or running appliances, it also threatens to undermine the viability of Europe's renewable energy projects, which are critical to hitting net zero targets.

"It's akin to a hara-kiri," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at Swedish lender SEB "Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and producers lose money. And there's nothing different in renewable energy and power either."

I almost can't believe the absolute shitiness of this. I suppose the implication is why would producers build power stations (no doubt with govt. subsidises!) if they can't make a profit!

 

The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

 

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
