Fun little factoid to mark American Independence Day I read today. On average there is a nation celebrating independence from England once every seven days

 

Lets just hope in some possible future there isn't a similar stat for countries celebrating independence from the legacy of trumpist America?

Right now there's a bug where AI values trading states at zero (despite what it says on the UI), as long as you have other treaty terms that will be accepted. I managed to buy half the world in exchange for military access.

I thought they have fixed that.

It's being fixed in the next patch (which is in beta and you can opt into it).

What an inauspicious birthday for America. I wonder what our 250th will bring...

Have you watched The Man in the High Castle by any chance?





I haven't I just know it's a nazi America scenario, which I find apropos

Verified that contents of box is complete. And 75% of counters haven't even been punched, so probably nobody ever played this copy. Maybe a case of "we bought this for you, thought you might like it" that went unappreciated. Looking forward to some playing this weekend.

Ukraine will resume hitting oil refineries. It's the only message that seems to get through to putin and biden/trump.

They should never have stopped.

And year up that agreement about the minerals too when the time is right.

Had 30+ days the whole week, reaching peak of almost 38° in Vienna today. Tomorrow it cools off with thunderstorms to "only" 29, but going over 30 again in the following days, hopefully going to low 20s later next week. The city has opened its "cooling zones" where elderly and vulnerable can come to cool off for a bit for a few hours a day.

Temperature curve of past week in the inner city:

Yeah definitely should use AC in Central Europe in commonly occupied living spaces (schools, hospitals, elderly care homes, large work places, etc) This is what regular summers will be like for the next centuries until a massive eruption in Iceland blots out agriculture for 2 years in the Northern Hemisphere.

I detest this bovine curd-chewing. Just fucking try to even show a little adaptability?

The Americans are a lost cause, fuck them sideways, It's going to take years more and a lot more casualties.
