I guess the European Commission knows EA is going downhill so fast, it won't be a name people remember in 2 years time

LOL, that land of the free

What a joke

I thought this Spider-Man was no longer a joint venture between Marvel and Sony as the contract ended with the last; but I guess they renewed it?

I knew about Doomsday but I am skeptical about that one. For starters, while I love RDJ and what he did as IronMan, I feel bringing him back again is a mistake. They are doing the American thing, milk it until everyone hates it

The second issue I have with Doomsday is that, for the first Avengers movies there was an amazing build up. By the time the Avengers movies came out we already knew and loved the characters so we could understand intuitively the challenge, their capabilities, their shortcomings, etc.

For this one though, I don't even know who the current Avengers are.

Of course, none of that means Doomsday will be a bad movie (and I really hope it is not); however, Disney has a solid track record of destroying IPs they buy so I am concerned

which one(s)? I am a big Marvel fan and not tired of super hero movies but since Avengers Endgame, they have not put out anything at that level

Are they planning to release a good one this year?

Why do you think the USA wants to dismantle the ICC?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm sure that is a risk you are willing to take with your family on the line

Because it will now be available to them... you seem to be under the impression that the SA gov will have 100% control of everything as if illegal material does not constantly find its way into black markets

The Saudi gov was already a "willing and committed US vassal" when 9/11 took place and that obviously didn't stop it from happening

Saudi Arabia nationals were responsible for 9/11

So naturally the USA went off and attacked Iraq and Afghanistan in revenge

What could go wrong?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

no, you are just an idiot who refuses to see reality

 

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
