A large convoy of suspected Wagner fighters has arrived from Russia at a new camp in Belarus, new satellite images reveal. BBC Verify's analysis shows dozens of vehicles entering the camp at Tsel, a disused military base in southern Belarus - about 64 miles (103km) from the capital Minsk.

The U.S. government put Intellexa and Cytrox, two European spyware makers, on an economic denylist on Tuesday.

The addition of the two companies, based in Greece and Hungary, as well as two related entities in Ireland and North Macedonia, is part of a wider effort from the Biden administration against makers of malware that is sold exclusively to law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

That’s terrible. I guess it’s a way to “force” people into the higher ultimate tier.

For those curious but don’t wish to watch the video it appears that the animals were suffocated and exposed to extreme heat.

My take is that the console and PC tier are the same exact thing. ( one for console users, one for PC users). This give you online multiplayer and access to more game pass games for an extra $1 per month. Unless you need both core and console to get access to the extra games. That is totally not worth it if true.

I was looking at the genesis lineup. If you don’t have NHL 94, Mickey’s Castle of illusion, Road Rash or Altered Beast what are you doing. Most of what they have is stuff I don’t have nostalgia for.

You forgot about the “best” part. Playing around with config files, only to have something break and have to delete and restart.

Is this why they are cracking down so much on emulators running on Xbox?

Straight shot of espresso to wake up and check the grind for the day. Drink immediately.

Second shot is for the wife’s iced latte.

Third drink is usually a cappuccino to be enjoyed and sipped on.

Make lunch and head out the door.

Listen? Ok.

Respond, return call, take a message etc, no thank you.

My wife and I each thought these were cool but refused to buy these for ourselves. Instead, we got them for each other for Christmas/Channukah one year. It is the best "stupid" gift I have ever got. I have a little Aeropress set up in my office and it's great. Nothing like coming back to your desk to a hot cup of coffee after you have been away for an extended time. I think they were like $100 when we got them.

Save up a sum of money. Open a fidelity investment account. Fidelity does not have a minimum balance account requirement. Learn a bit about no fee index funds. These are low price per share but offer the benefit of investing in the whole stock market. Things like Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index Fund or Fidelity ZERO International Index Fund. These types of funds give you a broad investment profile with low price and reduced risk. Continue to add money to your investment account on a regular schedule. Do NOT take money from the account to buy luxuries. The benefit you have at age 18 of being in the market is time. Any amount of money you have in the market for an extra 10 years will grow leaps and bounds more than you would be able to afford to put in directly. You can also look to set up a Roth IRA for your retirement as well. You can put up to $6,500 per year into a Roth IRA account and invest it. Do this early and often and let the money grow and future you will be living a comfortable life. I am not a fiduciary and talk to your family before you listen to an internet stranger, but this is what I do/did and my retirement should be fairly comfortable. Good luck and have fun.

I still enjoy Foo Fighters and feel that Dave Grohl has grown up and is still relevant. People change as they get older and some even improve.

We live with a shiba, who is smart and occasionally stubborn. All (well most) treats in our house are earned. Sometimes sitting quietly next to the cutting board while I’m making lunch is enough to earn a treat. Evening bedtime treats are almost automatic, but I like to reinforce some of his commands with them. As a result, he is better behaved and he still gets to enjoy the treats.

I think those are called kilts, and some of the cooler ones come with pockets (just like the cool lady dresses.

Nirvana.

Thank you. TIL

Herbert Polzhuber (June 1938 – 24 June 2015) was an Austrian fencer and modern pentathlete. Considered one of Austria's greatest épée fencers, he participated at four consecutive Olympic Games in 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976, being a fencer in each in addition to a pentathlete in his first appearance.[1][2] He is also partly remembered for an incident at the 1965 World Pentathlon Championships, where he allegedly drank 10 beers and a bottle of cognac before firing his pistol into the ground and passing out.

Relevant background music for your pondering. Fitting background music while you ponder
