My city still has a video rental store. They've been going for quite some time

I read a book a few years ago about the battle of the beams, the use of radar navigation to guide bombers over their targets and attempts to jam the signals. I knew the basics of using radar to detect raids but a lot of this was new and eye opening for me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beams

You're wrong about Cyberpunk, it was released on both platforms on the same day. I mean it was CD Projekt's own store front.

Both SM64 and OoT have been decompiled and have PC native recompilation ports already.

You literally cannot think of a single benefit for having fast Internet?

Not so much a relic as it was West County actor Robert Newton putting on an exaggerated accent in his depections of Long John Silver and Blackbeard in several films of the 1950s. His depictions were extremely influential on later pirates in film.

Shame that it only seems to be available in physical form and only from the US. The price is already quite high and with postage to the UK it adds up to be quite expensive.

Not just for Germany but apparently for the entire continent of Europe!

Have you tried taking off your sunglasses?

But that's just it,you're not going to reduce sizes. You're deluding yourself.

Nah, 98SE was a clear improvement over the base 98.

While I in no way endorse whatever batshit insane things Trump is doing, I don't think the US has issued a declaration of war since WW2. Declarations of war have been quite rare internationally in general since the end of WW2 outside of a few examples.

Try in The World

Do you seriously believe that the German spelling reforms were done to "drive the Germanic people away from each other"? If so that's quite the insane conspiracy theory you got yourself there. And lmao at "Anglican German".

They really take the piss, even supposedly essential cookies get lumbered with hundreds of "partners" with "legitimate interests" harvesting your data.

Contrary to popular belief, not every single square inch of the UK is covered by state operated CCTV.

This is sovereign citizen level nonsense.

I thought this was going to be about the Comics Code Authority.

I know this is hacker news but you do get all sorts posted here, that's my excuse.

As usual, generalising all of Europe based on your individual country is a mistake as there are some Euro counties where comics are quite popular. France, Belgium, Italy and the UK all have thriving native comic book industries, and I have Swedish friends who tell me Donald Duck comics are very popular there.

I imagine a pristine 1st edition Tintin or Asterix would be quite valuable.

What makes you think the copyright has expired?

>like Europe,

TIL The US pays for the defence of Russia and Belarus and Serbia.

Google Maps is garbage as well, full of inaccurate shit or meme stuff people added but the process of getting it fixed has been made worse and worse over the years.

The report system has been gimped massively,can't even type in reasons any more just have to select from some limited options and hope for the best. Took me over half a year of reporting a permanent street closure near me for them to actually change it and all the whole they were happy to direct people and cars down it . Other times they just outright reject reports without any reason.

Directions have got more sucky over the years.

More and more advertising has creeped into the maps as well, seeing the logos for stores and restaurants over other places and when zoomed out because they paid to be boosted.

I only use Google for street view and, on google earth, for historical aerial imagery these days, not for navigation. For that I use apps that use OSM like Organic Maps or now CoMaps.

That's basically sleep for me. I know I must dream but I only very rarely even remember the smallest fragment of any dreams. So sleeping is like I've not existed for 7 hours from my conscious perspective.

>This is "twilight sedation" and is what you usually get when you get a procedure like an endoscopy

The only thing I got for my endoscopy a couple of years ago was some numbing spray for my nose and a decongestant.

Yeah it was 100% hereditary peers plus some bishops before the 1999 reform act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lords_Act_1999

Labour had campaigned for years to abolish the Lords but when they got the chance Tony Blair decided on a watered down reform instead. Now the bloody place is just packed with political stooges and party donors. Over 800 of them. It's corrupt as hell.

The guy is extremely vain and absolutely loved using his titles and demanding deference from others so this will be a massive blow to his fragile ego. Not real powers but there's still that.

In this country there's still loads of people who buy into the whole majestic nonsense of the royals. I was talking to my mother the other day who was saying how my grandmother was having a big rant about how they couldn't strip him of his titles as they're his birthright and how hard his mother, who protected him, worked etc.

The culture of money

Although the Pergamon Museum also has the Ishtar Gate which was basically smuggled out of Iraq brick by brick.

Only some items were stolen or damaged, not everything.

During the security turmoil following the 25 January Revolution, the museum was broken into on 28 January 2011, by unidentified individuals, and 54 artifacts were stolen. Zahi Hawass, the then director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, stated "My heart is broken and my blood is boiling".[30] Hawass later told The New York Times that thieves looking for gold broke 70 objects, including two sculptures of the pharaoh Tutankhamun and took two skulls from a research lab, before being stopped as they left the museum.[31] In response, the military cordoned off the museum to secure it against looting and theft.[32]
