Yep, that's what happens when you let religious people get close to Law unchecked.

Pornhub is a technical achievement, it has versions for visually impaired and acoustically impaired users, a section dedicated to data analysis and one to sexual education.

YouTube has often copied their advancement in the UX design, like the most replayed graph on the timeline.

They also enacted the Great Digital Purge which has been a first in history, and which scared other platforms as an example of the kind of responsibility that platforms would be asked to take for the content published.

Sounds like hell to me, not being able to settle your mind in one city is something I abhor in tourism. Bringing that to country level is just criminal.

As I stated in another comment, the reason for it being a possibly bad pizza has nothing to do with flavor, but "texture".

Can you explain?

I never tried hawaiian pizza, mostly because I hate soggy pizza. I guess it is not meant to be eaten on a Neapolitan style base, but then again, I am not interested.

I am from Rome, where we have a pizza that would be possible not to get soggy when putting pineapple on it, but it is a curse from God, rather than real pizza.

It is a strong white flour, it builds quite a strong glutinic net (I am translating from Italian here) and therefore keeps a good elasticity after rising, while being stretched and pulled.

I repeat: Canada is quite a big one, it has a developed economy and produces solid cultural products.

You can do tourism wrong (as Italian cities do), and do it right, like Amsterdam started to do now. I was there in April last year and I was able to take pictures of the canals with no one in them but me effortlessly. They literally paid ads to tell British low cost flight tourists not to come visit.

It's called self-care.

I think it is not always produced in Manitoba, but it is the name of the kind of wheat flour that is best for pizza.

Not a Stargate one. I know a few sci-fi movie were shot in notable Canadian cities, such as Chronicle in Vancouver, but I never really recognized Canada in a sci-fi film, no.

 

I mean, sure, it's not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).

And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not "Canada-aware" for most of my life.

I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.

Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.

I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.

Hello everyone, brand new commander here. I have just bought and installed the game yesterday and it is really a pleasure and an eye-candy on my 4K monitor. Finished the first training and the first mission in Dromi.

I am playing with mouse and keyboard for now. But cannot exclude buying a flight controller for this and other games in the near future.

Please advise in general on anything that may be useful to a newbie, but here are a few questions:

  • How much of a campaign is there? I heard the real pleasure is in getting lost, but it would still be interesting to see if any story is there.
  • How much of a multiplayer experience is (left) in there? I could see names that sounded "human-given" in the Ext.Comm. screen but didn't really understand.
  • Am I ruining my experience significantly by playing without a flight stick? I don't think I will buy a huge HOTAS set, but if I can get an extremely good experience by buying something chill like the Logitech Extreme 3D, please tell me.
