Nope, they weren’t. But there were definitely differences whether you played on a Sony Trinitron or a cheap TV. Hell, I even played some games on black-white-TV when the color TV wasn’t available.

That’s not a dog, that’s a viper… which makes this a snake under a plane.

It’s one of Putin’s strategies: To make it look like it is a conflict between the US/NATO and Russia, not between Ukraine and Russia. He also tries to diminish Ukrainian sovereignity by making it appear as if the US is the overlord, as if Ukraine is an American puppet. It’s all about making Ukraine look like it isn’t its own country. That’s why we get those bullshit historic lessons by that pathetic man-child.

Can someone explain to me why this shootdown is even news instead of a statistic?

It’s a military airplane shot down in a shooting war. Does Russia now call the UN security council when Ukraine destroys a transport truck? Why is the media constantly falling for Russia’s bullshit behaviour?

Since Moscow is the Third Rome and there are angry mercenaries, I present you with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Rome_(1527)

Yeah, Prigozhin forgot the golden rule: If you take a swing at the Tsar, you better aim low.

It’s actually pretty recognizable, but that’s because it is Part 1 of Another Brick In The Wall, not the well known Part 2.

It is “Another Brick In The Wall Part 1”, not Part 2 which everyone knows. Curious about the choice of Part 1; I guess that Part 1 doesn’t have such a strong rhythm/groove as Part 2, thus making it easier to reconstruct?

You already forgot that Trump had a lawyer with the name “Pecker” in the Stormy Daniels case? I think there were even more lawyers with penis-names, but I can’t remember all that weird shit that happened.

Ah yeah. I don’t know how often I’ve seen Betelgeuze turning supernova within 30 minutes in a live stream.

Those science titles keep getting dumber. I think last year there was an asteroid which was the size of “half a giraffe”.

I had a Logitech F310 which started malfunctioning, where the left stick’s signal was always halfway to the left. Logitech’s quality isn’t what it used to be. I can imagine something like this happening on the submarine. Question is whether they had a replacement and if they even recognized that the gamepad was malfunctioning.

Fun fact: The Logitech Extreme 3D-stick is used in many professional systems, but those are reliable.

It sounds like you got it basically right, but now think about the sentence “the universe is a part of our dimension” which would mean “the universe is a part of our universe”.

The scifi “dimension” is as meaningless as “plane of existence”; it just sounds nice when you want to explain things away in scifi. I mean, it seems to be easier in scifi to travel between those “dimensions” than between the Milky Way and any other galaxy in the visible universe.

They are using the scifi-concept of dimension which has nothing to do with the mathematical or physical concept of dimension.
