Pixel owner here, since the Oreo upgrade I've had a red dot on my Google keyboard (on the emoji button) and when you tap on it you get what is basically an add for some thing that lets you make your own emojis or something. Haven'

HoI4 is a good starting point I'd say, it's prettier and the UI is much more manageable which makes the whole game feel a lot easier to learn even though it's not hugely less complicated than HoI3. EU is a different beast tho

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... 2017 as a comment. First tier is a group of local farmers with rusty AK's, but the stretch goal is a team of operators from Academi. If you chip in more than $50 you get your name removed from the li

Just on Civ, if you like it I'd highly recommend checking out any of Paradox's grand strategy games like Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis. The AI is generally pretty good, although you might see some questionable behaviour fro

Ok I've been poor, so I guess that "qualifies" me to comment: the OP is right, if you're struggling for cash in an expensive city then it's not wise to live by yourself. The argument of "oh but something bad mi

There's wisdom in what my grandma always says: Don't talk about politics, it's rude. And guess what, 25 years of being related to her and she hasn't once hit me with a bit of wood over a difference of opinion.

Personally, I think math should start at teaching kids useful stuff that 100% of them are going to use such as; taxes, credit products/home loans, budgeting, investments etc. I'm sure calculus is useful and great, but the reality

Does any of this have an actual basis in science or is it just some CEO's fishing for media attention by claiming they didn't eat for a week? More importantly, are there any long term studies on the affects of this?

They basically are banned, at least for non-nuclear powers to obtain them anyway (see the NPT). The threat still is and always has been a real nuclear power loosing off their arsenal either in anger or by mistake - that's how you end t

I'd be more inclined to think of it as an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of a relationship. The USSR has historically supported North Korea as well, so the expectation and past relationships at various levels are still

It's a great symbol for socialism really, the whole country is starving to death whilst the literal fat man at the top makes some nukes to threaten America with. Great success!

You can't win these days, you either hit an automated thing of some sort (chatbot or otherwise) or you hit something even worse - the Indian or Filipino call center. It's like a chatbot that doesn't comprehend ANY English,

Why do people get so funny about quitting their job? You're allowed to quit, it's ok! You don't owe your employer anything (professionally). If they don't like the fact you left, that is quite literally their problem.
