I know this falls under "no shit Sherlock" but looks like the Spanish police has obtained intelligence linking two current Afgan taliban ministers to the bombing of the Kabul Spanish embassy in 2015.

Oh gosh I read so many of those books when I was younger.  So very, very bad - but so very, very good.

I will decline to purchase the bundle however. -_-

I read a couple of those but it seems like the editions I had had different covers.

The place I ordered the Philly Cheesestake from also has a merch shop, selling overpriced hoodies and t-shirts based on Vienna's districts. I hope for them that the NBA never sees that page. :lol:

Does it technically count as a pot hole if it's not in the street?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Well, there are definitely weeds in that hole.

Notre Dame restoration continues - the bells are back (hunchbacks unclear) :w00t: :frog:


Really weird seeing those types of massive church tower bells all new and shiny.

I read many of them totally out of order since for me their availability depended on when the German translation was done and when the local book store decided to stock them. I was very confused by the overall storylines.
