Nobel committee has had to release a statement that prizes cannot be transferred. Modern world is really weird. Wonder if this is how people felt when the heard their emperor was making horses senators or something.

Cannot? Who's to stop a recipient from doing it?

Why are they asking her to get out of the car to begin with? Wasn't she turning the car around to leave?

Indeed.  They are not the police.  And even the police would just tell her to move her car because it is blocking traffic.

Anyone surrounded by a gang of masked gunmen is going to try to escape the situation.

This keeps being my biggest puzzelment over how could anyone realistically expect compliance when the supposed law enforcement people are coming in unmarked civilian vehicles wearing nothing that a civilian couldn't just buy and put on (including the assault rifles).

I mean I know the true intent is to create chaos and violence, but surely state forces could legitimately curtail or at least hinder such ICE behaviour if they cared enough. Such as, IDK, responding to a call of kidnapping.

Season 1 of Jack Ryan on Prime. I liked it.

I have been playing Fallout 4 with a customisable "survival mode" mod.

I haven't gotten as far as the last time I abandoned it (I think) and I struggle to keep my interest in it to be honest.

I have tried Fallout 4 again, and ran into consistent crashing. Apparently, a new-ish GPU is not ideal for these older games and tries to upscale the graphics until CTD from "driver timeout".

There are workarounds, like installing Vulkan, but I managed to get some stability to .ini tweaks and editing the registry entries for the GPU.

I tried Farthest Frontier. It is like Banished. Very much like Banished. Just more expensive.

I've seen many of these before, but they're even better chronologically.

grumbler, there was a new Mortimer episode on TV yesterday, it's probably on YouTube by now.
