    The trouble is the same as when sega executive's came out of the room with Sega vr. Just made everyone a bit sick. No one talks about Nintendo and their red version.

    " With a film crew, the team excavated the newly uncovered tomb in August. But the real surprise was what lay within the tomb. While many tombs uncovered within Petra are found empty or disturbed, the chamber was filled with complete skeletal remains and grave goods made from bronze, iron and ceramic. The intact burial found beneath the Treasury provides rare insight into the lives of the Nabataeans, ancient Arabian nomads whose desert kingdom thrived during fourth century BC to AD 106, Creasman said."

    This was the crossroads of the silk empire. Their water technologies are amazing. Unfortunately it dried up.

    "ban on surcharges would mark a watershed moment for the state’s restaurant industry, which has in recent years relied on mandatory service charges to supplement optional tips and boost staff wages. "

    Translation, having a forum for blaming their own wait staff for making minimum wage. But it's somehow the states problem, not the employer.

    "But this time, instead of assembling under the false banner of “ethics in journalism,” this new campaign has chosen “wokeism” "

    Unfortunately I read the article. Nothing terrible, just smells like they need adclicks. And surprise, people online can be terrible human beings. Didn't we know that in 1999? Everyone I heard on counter strike 1.6 was inventing new horrible things to say to each other.
