    What'cha Cookin' Tonight II

    I still remember exactly why: KFCs chicken is too greasy for my tastes. The spice mixture is boring. The quality of the chicken is absolutely disgusting. I only went to KFC three or four times in my entire life and on two occasions I was served something that looked like a fried fetus (this...

    I had actually never heard about that, learned something new today :)

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    yes, precisely! the developers did an okay job, the problem lies in simple balancing issues. that is the most frustrating thing about Civ 6.. so many things could have been corrected with little work, but never were. instead we get paid content which no one wants (translation: content that i...

    Do you drink tea?

    Never heard of Rooibos Earl Grey, interesting mix. I drink (and can recommend) this brand, but only get it when you can find it at a store. It's much too expensive in online-shopping. Obviously get the loose-leaf, not the teabags: https://ahmadtea.com.au/products/earl-grey-20-classic-teabags

    What'cha Cookin' Tonight II

    may I propose Oyakodon? I was never a fan of chicken and egg, but that dish convinced me. cooking with dog has a decent, easy recipe. we have virtually all the relevant fast food chains over here (even a five guys..), and the food is, imho, partically indistinguishable all over the world...

    [GS] Guide to fast Science Victory - Religious Russians

    Does a sub T150 standard science win (with all 3 expansions ofc, CivTrader6s vids do not count) even exist on YouTube? There is only 1 recent video, but all settings are cooked:

    [RD] Biden v. Biden

    I think you misunderstood me there, I was trying to say that I am not cogizant of any events similiarly violent and destructive to the European 30-year-war in pre-colonial Africa. (I know there was a lot of war and violence, and obviously there was the pre-colonial slave trade, not trying to...

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    I don't strive for realism or historical accuracy in my games, really. I would already be happy if Civ 6 was a bit harder. If Civ 7 introduced any VC that wasn't "total Hitlerian annihilation of every other race of people by any means", or at least made Diplo, Culture or Space Victory somehow...

    [RD] Biden v. Biden

    You still misunderstand me. Saddam was never an American stooge, we both agree. It is still a fact that he did not have the material means to gas his population, and that "we" supplied that to him. Sure, Soviet influence on the ME is not to be denied, I wouldn't. I am unsure how relevant it is...

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    ours maybe, some players do have games that go up to 300, 400 or even 500 turns (not kidding) on standard speed. they just like building stuff. this is your main point and it is a strong one. You are indeed correct that in the framework of an FFA game there is only one reason to help someone...

    What'cha Cookin' Tonight II

    pasta and chicken is so weird to me. same goes for pizza and chicken, really. I've tried it on multiple occasions, but it just doesn't work for me personally. in other news, I got me some guanciale and will be making delightful carbonara today. I have seen this one before, and this guy is a...

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    I personally think it was solved better in the earlier games and I don't think the climate change mechanic in 6 is very punishing at all, but fundamentally you're right, there has to be a way to solve it within the game. I simply think it should be both more punishing and harder to solve (or...

    [RD] Biden v. Biden

    Who gave Hussein material means to achieve his "goals" though?.. But you're utterly right, it's not just the US who is to blame (I didn't). It's also GB, France, Germany, Israel and a host of other state or individual actors. Also "for the middle-east" is kind of a weird phrasing. I'm not...

    Prince Philip, and DMX, died today

    They had lots in common. Both were distateful homophobes, both were rich and both are now, as is always the case I guess, remembered much more fondly than they were during their lifetime.

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    I would be genuinely disappointed if this wasn't done purely to **** off rightwingers Yes and no. Getting to Merchant Republic is probably one of if not the single biggest boost to one's economy in a single turn since it allows that many more economic cards. For many of the "speedrunning" Civ...

    Is Civ 6 PC: A continuation.

    What, you mean like most leaders in Europes dynastic realm, where Austrians ruled over Portugal and Spaon, or like most of the puppet dictators installed by Westerners, like when they made a Saddam dictator in Iraq even though he was Sunni and 4/5 of the country were Shia? Or like when Rwanda...

    [RD] Biden v. Biden

    It's not impossible that ISIS, or a similiar extremist/fundamentalist/wahabist sunni organisation will rise form the chaos, now that the US has literally executed the most capable leader and general in Iran (the entire middle east?) and ISIS' biggest enemy. I am personally not a big fan of...

    The degree to which @Birdjaguar analyzes and deconstructs the faulty arguments of the "Annunaki" crowd is honestly very impressive. Solid Mesopotamian scholarship there, Bird.

    [RD] Biden v. Biden

    Donald Trump literally Drone-struck more people than any other human being in history (and he has tough competition from Obama!) including drone-striking a famous Irani general, war hero and "ally" of the US and almost escalating the US-Iran conflict into a full blown war. Also, yes, I think...

    What are your thoughts on BitCoin?

    Coin Base is essentially a Cryptocurrency stock exchange. They do hold large amounts of BitCoin themselves, but as you correctly state they are mostly holding them for their users.
