I'm scared about escalation
Yeah... :/ And it is going to be "interesting" to see what Hezbollah do when/if IDF move into Gaza.

The start of the game is kind of dumb and rushed. The NPCs are flat and the UI is extremally clunky. The indoor locations have a gray/brown tint and it seems like the game design philosophy was to cram as much useless clutter into as little space as possible which makes it impossible to see what can or should be looted.
The robot companion always get in the way. And the combat isn't very satisfying, every fight is only "shoot gun until enemy is dead". -
Comment on Anger in Sweden as Nobel Prize organizers invite Russia and Belarus to the award ceremonies – several lawmakers say they will boycott this year's ceremonies in ~news

Countries can compete and have very different interests on the word stage and still be relatively friendly towards each other. But when a country invades their neighbors, simulate bombing runs against your cities and murder people in your country then its time stop pretending to be friendly.

So although some book burners are racist asshats, others...a bunch of racist neo-skinheads out on streets publicly burning Qurans just to incite more racism
One of the dudes who burn books in Sweden is a muslim apostate refugee. He claim it is in protest against persecution in his home country. So although some book burners are racist asshats, others use it as a legitimate way of protest.

So if I for instance encounter a locked door and need to level up picklock or if I have failed a boss fight then I have a pool of skill point to use for my second attempt.

Moody Link ParentI put the plastic parts in the dish washer, replace the water filter and use a no rinse cleaning agent for the pump (that is more or less an aquarium pump) . Not hard at all. :)I’ve bought a few of these over the years. they all suck. and they all suck in one specific way.

But my growth climate aren't ideal for peppers.
Not great, not terrible. :)
Two of the gen 2 plants was grown in a hydroponics system away from my other plants. It only took 3 months from seeds until they started to get peppers.

The gen 2 plants was grown in a home hydroponics system and from seed to plants with hints of flowers only took 1½ month. They are now 3 months and are starting to develop peppers so I can get new generations quite fast.
The peppers from last year didn't taste that spectacular, a bit spicy, waxy, slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness. Almost like a spicy green paprika. The original variety are mostly grown for the peppers black or deep purple color and not for cooking and its flowers smells wonderful. But it would be fun to try to cross breed it with a similar colored pepper that have a more interesting flavor.

A year ago I bought a bunch of chili seeds that I planted and then kind of left to its own devices on my balcony together with 3 other types of chili pepper. I watered the plants but I didn't give them any other love.
Despite my negligence the plants thrived and some of the chili peppers developed a very particular appearance.
Perhaps 1 out of 10 fully grown peppers kind of resembled a flower with petals around its base. They aren't suppose to look like that.https://i.imgur.com/Km2GFu3.jpg
I saved the seeds from the largest and most distinct "flower chilis" and planted them to see if the odd appearance of the peppers would come back in generation 2...and so far 5 out of 5 developed fruits have the same flower appearance. Some only have 2-3 "petals" around the base of the fruit but some have 5-6.
My four gen 2 plants have perhaps 60 more peppers in development (out of 100 flowers) and this year the gen 1 plant only have 2 out of 30 peppers that have the flower appearance.
I have only found one pic on the internets of the same base variety that have a hint of a "petal" but none that look like mine.
I know that new chili varieties aren't considered to be stable until gen 6-7 so I have more planting to do :) but which steps do I need to take to solidify the variety except replanting seeds and growing new generations?

In my jurisdiction if a job description change because of an reorg and the employee doesnt agree to the change then they will be let go because the old job no longer exists.
The difference between being fired and let go is important as it can impact severance and unemployment pay.
If you are fired then you most likely wont get severance, if you are let go because of "lack of work" then you probably will get severance. And if you leave voluntarily then you have to wait xx days before being eligibly for unemployment pay, if you are let go or fired then you are eligible right away.
