I assume OP means

Dot com crash

Global financial crisis - sub prime mortgage crash

Covid crash and resulting cost of living crisis

Ah

If we are not careful they will eventually be dumped again in house clearances, because a lot of the owners of these important collections are now in their 80s and are very wary,โ€

Can't he just convert and upload a torrent?

Screw the BBC, archive everything.

ikr, ITT, people getting mad they don't fit into / agree with a strangers green flag list. The world is a wild place and I hope it's not as hostile or absurd as I believe it is.

I'd classify battlestar is an easy game. Both Nemesis and New Angeles are more complex to teach and learn to new, especially non-hobbyist, people. However, this also means games don't drag on or feel long; even if you're loosing there's something to think about and time flies.

I would find it difficult to enjoy a short negotiation game - as the consequences over time are part of the fun. For something short and social I might recommended Ra or Modern Art, both by Knizia, while not having traitor mechanics someone will betray a deal every game.

A thin piece of felt the size of my dining room table.

I use it every time we play anything, at minimum, weekly.

Have you thought about New Angeles?

Nemesis is a great game, but very dissimilar to battlestar. If you are keen for nemesis and social games, get the original. The layout of the map and goal objectives lend themselves better to paranoia and sabotage.

Isn't this a perfect example where stable diffusion excels over the traditional process?

It's an interesting one to me for two reasons.

\1. Israels allies are culturally and ideologically opposed to what Israel has been doing in the region since WW2. It is imperialistic, subjugating and what the west has been trying to move away from in the later half of the 20th century. However, it is strategic to them to support Israel so they will continue to bite their tongues and support their ally.

\2. After the second world war Europe has been very cautious of any nation displaying imperialist intent. The mindset was featured heavily in the Falkland island conflict, etc. With Israel's obvious intent of expanding their land, especially with Zionist ambition, many strategists in Europe may find themselves thinking of the similarities between 1940s Germany and the current political ideology of the state of Israel.

Mullvad has had some awesome projects recently.

Proton have been trying to drive a privacy orientated ecosystem and an alternative to the big three.

Both deserve your money. Great companies

I got real excited to learn the physics of a nuclear gravity bomb.

We have gotten to the point in modernity where so many bombs are technologically guided we must define bombs which fall, and are guided by, the force of gravity.
