To be fair my limited experience with blacksmithing has given me the distinct impression that I would have magnificent arms if I did it regularly

This is ABC’s fault rather than OPs, because the post title is the same as the article’s, but it’s not the largest coral reef. It’s the largest individual coral.

To be fair if I was going to depict an elf prince with a hobby of bench pressing trees, he’d probably look a lot like Cavill’s Geralt

I like to think he has a bear as a workout partner, and every nearby dwarven society has a secret training program to try to identify someone that can beat him in an arm wrestle

The Elder Scrolls is probably the one I’ve had the most fun theory-crafting about, but I will admit that you have to pick and choose what to care about.

Also the old Wipeout racing games had a remarkable amount of background plot going on that was really pretty fun. The self-awareness to poke fun at Fusion’s poorly-received changes as being the in-universe result of megacorp meddling for mass market appeal gave me a good laugh, but you can piece together a surprising amount of the world from random references in team flavour text

I’ve never heard of First Law, but it being mentioned alongside the Expanse is reason enough for me to check it out

I have to use Teams for a remote course I’m doing and holy shit no program I have ever used is worse for notifications than Teams. Even turning off everything doesn’t prevent it from flashing on the taskbar, so you then have to go disable that for everything as well. I know someone sent a message in chat, Teams, I am in the fucking call where they sent it

Henry Cavill is jacked enough to count as at least three

It still does. I have no idea why we bother paying articles like this any attention. Then again I suppose it is worth reporting on that it happens generally, and I don’t have any suggestions for how to make news outlets just do an annual summary

While I don’t think that what you’re saying is by any means implausible, there is an actual difference here. All rockets and missiles destroy themselves in the process of attacking a target. Not all drones do. A lot of them have a simple mechanism that drops a grenade or similar

Then it’s no wonder she left

It might allow you to join the clan as a social club, essentially. A fair few of them have newsletters and run events where they get together, so it can be a good network. It doesn’t affect the day-to-day life of the average person, though

Here in Scotland / the UK you’d be absolutely fine so long as you’re a decent person. There’s not even a language barrier beyond dialect, and dialects vary hugely within the UK and each part of the UK anyway. Just please don’t insist that your great-great-grandmother is actually from Clan MacWhatever.

You fool, you’re only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!

It’s one of the many often attributed to Winston Churchill, though to my knowledge there’s no actual evidence of him actually saying it and his other writings go against the sentiment. I don’t know who actually did say it first

Johnson is a slimy tosspot, and his position on Russia is good only for self-serving reasons. Supporting Ukraine let him act out his little Churchill fantasy and distract from all of his domestic failings

They’re actually fairly prolific publishers, though I haven’t personally played much of their catalogue besides the excellent Golf With Your Friends

RNGesus is a dickhead and I’m Longinus

I don’t think it’s necessarily a misleading headline. I don’t doubt for a second that Trump would make some meaningless demand with no regard for reality

The guy that got “installed” was the leader of the opposition in the parliament, had the backing of a clear majority of the parliament, and had been supportive of the protests. It would be weirder for the Americans to support anyone else
