"Reject censorship!" cried the candidate of the party banning books in school libraries left and right.

Yes, 2 had a lot of re-used locations. Some of them did make sense, as the story was almost entirely set within a single city, so certain locations are bound to pop up multiple times, especially as the game takes place over a decade or so.

But the real reason, 2 was developed and rushed out the door in like a year or something? It was a ridiculously short amount of time to develop a sequel to a game as big as DA:O. Unsurprisingly, this led to a LOT of re used assets and locations.

But though it obviously had failings, I, like some others, would probably put DA2 as the high point for the series telling really character driven stories with the most compelling cast of characters.

Could not agree more, Legion has an absolutely amazing score/soundtrack. The Bolero scene? Legendary.

“1oz .999% silver medallions”

So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
And he's selling them for $100 each.

Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
In that case it's $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I'm still guessing it's 3 cents worth of silver.

Why wouldn't they confirm his appointments? Senate is controlled by dems right now. They can either confirm Biden's appointments, and have a dem judge, or not, which risks Trump making appointments to these same positions.

Only time the judges don't get confirmed at the end of a president's term is when the opposing party controls the senate. See: end of Obama's term and his appointment of Garland to the SC.

I use US bank, and their ATMs do give the option to choose whether you receive 20s or 100s.

edit: apparently headline was misleading and it wasn't a US bank ATM, rather a US based bank's ATM, but still, point remains, some ATMs do let you choose the bill.

NYT and WaPo both have articles about it. Paywalled, so I can see why OP wouldn't link em. I can't even get the wsj home page to load on firefox with ublock, so I can't say whether they reported on it at all, but it's not exactly like nobody is reporting on this.

I also haven't read it, but I've seen this graphic in the past and been fascinated by it without having read any.

Granted. Being truly clean will of course demand sterilization. As part of a daily cleaning cycle the house seals itself and becomes an autoclave. The building becomes pressurized and the temperature is raised to 270 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes. You'll probably wanna be gone when it happens.

Honestly, fair criticism, as it is still a $60 game and in my old timer's brain that means everything should be unlockable through gameplay. Unfortunately, that's just not how the market seems to work anymore, so I'll just be glad their extra monetization is only limited to cosmetics and not gameplay stuff as well.

On the upshot, that season pass and the DLC stuff is all cosmetic only. All gameplay additions will be free for all.

Yes, it's called the Apprentice, will come out a bit before the election (was at some film festivals awhile ago, but couldn't find a US distributor for a bit, but recently did) and by all accounts doesn't make him look good. His lawyers were trying to block it's US release for awhile, so I can't imagine it's a trump positive biopic.

The real Chicago pizza is tavern style anyway. And that IS pizza.

Death of the Endless is in both, played by same actress. Despair also shows up in Dead Boy, but I can't remember if she showed up in season 1 Sandman. But generally I think they were only meant to be tangentially linked, so you didn't have to watch one to enjoy the other.

I mean, it kinda is

A quick google says the tour doesn't end till December, so after the election anyway, unfortunately.

I liked Perrin a lot...until Faile showed up in the first place.

But I can't argue your statement.

Rust and ruin, I knew someone would bring up this crem.

I love Sanderson, he is my favorite fantasy author, and you are correct about his marvelous job finishing WoT, but he is just not the right fit tonally for ASOIAF. He doesn't even write swear words, and GRRM's books are fairly liberal with the fucks and the cunts. I would however be in favor of Joe Abercrombie or someone with a bit of a darker bent to their writing taking over if needed.
