The daughter's rats and the gecko are getting bigger, and friendly.

Going to the Peak District tomorrow for a long weekend with the missus. Got ourselves a proper lovely little idyllic Cottage near to a little quaint village. Lovely drop.

How about you read the actual book instead of nitpicking on the words used in the description of it?...

He's fine... I should try to get him back on here hehe but he doesn't seem to have much interest in participating in the forum lately.

I like how Pizarro is 40 and looks 35ish at max, whereas Drobny is 39 and looks like he's 50.

You're into Eastern philosophy lately? We read The Bhagavad Gita as part of Mahabharata at school. Epic poems are really not my thing so meh... The Dhammapada is an important read in Pali Tipitaka but it failed to make a lasting impression on me - and that's coming from someone who has a soft spot for Buddhism... If you ever want to continue reading on it I would highly recommend The Path of the Elders: A Modern Exposition of Ancient Buddhism by Ernest Erle Power (if you can still get a copy - I gifted mine to Panflute a while ago and it's not that easy to come across another one anymore...). That was by far the best explanation and analysis of the core of the Theravada Buddhism that I ever read.

Of course it is, that's why books like this that try to clear existing misconceptions and challenge false paradigms with new archaeological facts and discoveries are important. The thing is, even without political meddling with the past, we still don't know many things about the world and cultures that lived centuries ago and many numbers related to that time are just rough estimates so I don't think the word "imagined" is so wrong here. It's one thing to understand that the image of the Americas being largely uninhabited mass of land with just a few wandering savages is just plainly wrong and was used to justify the means for political goals and expansion etc, but it's a different thing altogether to try and accurately estimate the actual size of native populations in cities and settlements at that that time. I mean we are still digging up "new" cities with estimated population of millions and extended trade networks that we didn't know even existed. New evidence is being added to what we know continuously so previously held views are being challenged one way or another as the overall pool of knowledge grows.

Didn't knew that word ! thanks Wasn't nitpicking or being rude. Things like these are constructed all around the World for political reasons can of worms, who came first, who made it what it is today etc. That's why i find the word 'imagined' meh

His name is Raphael Samuel. I personally think it's a case of SJW's self-loathing in the extreme, coupled with growing up with lawyer parents and knowing how easy it is to register a daft case in Indian courts (A man recently wanted to ban the red colour dresses throughout the country). This is his mother's response Or maybe it's just a case of trying to get fame.

Velvet Buzzsaw: 7/10 Painfully mediocre at times, laced with some incredible scenes. One in particular had me in tears of laughter. Overall disappointing but the genius is laced in there.

Anthem looks shite tbh. Kind of generic Destiny clone - and Destiny is big with people who love Destiny, but most people I know hated the first one and never touched the second one. But then they've also loaded Anthem with microtransactions that are just as expensive as Fortnite microtransactions and even EA's new game Apex Legends (which imo is a great game - I'm a bit annoyed it likely means no Titanfall 3 - but I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with it). I think quite frankly loading a full priced game like that up with microtransactions of the same price as F2P games is outrageous. And then you also have to consider the performance of Anthem in the demo... just right before it's release, so I doubt they fix this anytime soon. But it performed terribly on my Xbox One X - not optimised at all and running at 10 frames per second or less. Honestly with Anthem... I honestly think BioWare have just made a bland game on the heels of the latest Mass Effect, which I didn't play, but sounded like another bland game. How much of that is down to EA's demands on BioWare? I have no idea - they did just twist the production of a game in development into a F2P game that's very different to what the game was intended to be. Honestly though I'm pretty pleased with the new free to play game. But Respawn games have now made 3 games and all of them have been top quality in terms of both gameplay enjoyability and performance... so maybe they're just a good developer that happens to unfortunately be owned by EA.
