Hi everyone, I've been trying the new app for the TCG and so far it's been quite a nice experience. Obviously the predatory mechanisms that were obvious to be present are quite hard to ignore, and the slight dumbing down of an (already way too) easy battle system surely makes challenges a bit more frustrating in that they get quite simple to read. However, the UX Is slick as hell and the way packets are opened really makes you feel all of that sweet dopamine hit you get from the real thing. Have you had any way to try It as well? What do you think about It?

Italian here. Luckily it seems like the place I live now has been barely touched by Boris, but my wife's parents are stuck at home with flooded streets and whatnot. Hope it's not going to be as bad as last year.

just open a window, my dude.

Luigi / Duck Hunt. What the hell does that mean?

I believe it's either The Blues Brothers or 2001.

Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin's government on several occasions.

I believe it's quite obvious that Girona can't operate at the same kind of level that Man City does, even if they belong to the same state fund. Market just opened up, I wouldn't be surprised if they placed some interesting transfers aimed at generating income for the team while consolidating the identity of the squad. Plus, Savio leaving for Man City is quite a telling sign of this behaviour, imho.

not really; 30 minutes of decent football (which is kind of expected considering the quality Southgate had available) and nothing more.

I wouldn't say he's been a disappointment. His role as a striker has always been more akin to what he's shown in this tournament than what some might expect of him, and especially with this team you could predict that his playing time would mostly be spent on refining offensive possession rather than scoring.

in defense of Matt and Trey, they did apologize on the ManBearPig thing. And it's not like their depiction of Trump is very flattering, either...

We didn’t have Hitler in our history though. You can’t compare roman salute with wolf gesture

Turks committed genocide towards Armenians (and are still perpetrating one against Kurds).

Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist.

It's not about existence, it's about extremism and authocracy making its way into Europe. I don't think any European looks at Hungary with respect, either.

Italy also symbolizes wolfs.

Wolves are not correlated, at least in Italy, to paramilitary fascist organisation responsible for war crimes. And, of course, there's always a degree of interpretation: a wolf is a wolf, a wolf salute is a reminder of the violent recent history of Turkey and its accommodation into the reality of "the normal".

I believe Turkey is a wonderful country, but there's definitely better ways to show patriotism than to resort to extremist political affiliation for doing it. Like, I don't know, a Turkish flag?

the fact that "80% of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol", when it is clearly associated with a paramilitary fascist group, should really make you think about why Turkey isn't looked upon nicely by the EU in general. And I'm frankly surprised that even as a "non right wing Turkish", you still think it's fine to use the symbols that are now widely associated with that political group. I can't think of a world where I, an Italian, would use the Roman salute because it's a "patriotic" salute and because "everyone does it here" (even if a large majority of Italians don't, thank god).

I don't think Grohl has played for QotSA in well over a decade now. Their current drummer is Jon Theodore of Mars Volta fame, iirc.

 

This shit ass site proposes a paying plan for downloading student notes and I'm so fucking tired at the idea that they basically got a monopoly on it. How can I download the docs?

 

Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn't be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

 

As per title. New releases especially are quite hard to find on other clients or p2p resources; what's the best way to get them from the source so that I can share them back?

 

Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone's talking about Baldur's Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG, and I had previously set up Lutris so that it interfaced directly with it. But the game refuses to start. Every installation method I tried has miserably failed at some point or another, and when it didn't, the game just won't boot up (either in Lutris or out of it). I'm out of options and I have asked for a refund. Is the situation with the Steam versions any different?Am I missing something? Help!

 

Please stop me if this is not the appropriate place to speak of issues like this one.

I believe an introduction is due. I have been a Ubuntu user for a little more than a year now and while the whole ecosystem is fantastic and smooth to use, it boggles me that there's still no app that can match the versatility and easiness in use that Musicbee provides. Strawberry pales in comparison, foobar2000 is clunky and clumsy, Rhythmbox is really without any option for control over your library... Even Tauon (the most complete music player I have found so far) becomes overly, uselessly complex in certain moments. What's your take on this issue? What do you use for browsing, editing and playing your music collection? Is there any way we'll ever see something like Musicbee on Linux distros?

 

I am trying to build a collection of online sources from where scouting releases can be easy and up to date with what's happening in the music world right now. Rock and pop? Easy, there's plenty of zines I can browse through. Electronic music? Sure thing. Classical? a bit difficult, but can still find something up to date and interesting to read. Jazz, however, is absurdly niche for online standards. It seems like no one is interested in proposing some form of equivalent to the big online magazines of this age. So, am I missing something? Is there some jazz aficionado here who can help me?

 

Player has been offered a contract until 2029 for 7,5m/year + bonuses as well.

 

It's possible that Di María will return to Benfica on a free transfer. The 35-year old winger scored 8 goals last season in 36 matches between Serie A, Champions League and Europa League.
