I just saw the first movie with a friend and the thought went through my mind. I'm not really sure what something being derivative means, so I looked it up and apparently it's more subjective than I realized.

What are your thoughts?

Hey,

Cozy Grove had performance issues on Switch, specially in late game, or when you had more stuff on the screen. I am wondering if this has improved. Tried searching online and there have been patches but couldn't find any latest mention if the game performance has improved or not. Has anyone here tried it?

Also, if anyone has tried it on Switch 2, how well does it work on that?

A procurement plan obtained by POLITICO shows Berlin’s rearmament spree will overwhelmingly benefit European industry.

Germany's new military procurement plan, obtained by POLITICO, shows that Berlin will steer its massive rearmament drive primarily to European industry, with only 8 percent going for American weapons.

That's a blow for Donald Trump, who has been putting pressure on European countries to continue buying U.S. arms despite the geopolitical turmoil emanating from the White House.

The procurement plan shows Germany preparing to push through nearly €83 billion in contracts over the next year. The list, drawn up for the German parliament’s budget committee, details 154 major defense purchases between September 2025 and December 2026.

Pro-Palestine student activists across the country have struggled to get their universities to respond to pressure for divestment from Israel and its military–industrial complex. So when a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology withdrew from a grant from the Israeli military after hearing feedback from students protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it was especially welcome news.

“This is one of the only cases where we know that student activism and public pressure led directly to an Israeli tie being cut, let alone a collaboration with its genocidal military,” said Mila Halgren, a postdoctoral associate at MIT. (The university did not respond to a request for comment.)

MIT has come under internal and public scrutiny for conducting research on warfare technology sponsored by Israel. In July, the United Nations condemned the school for conducting “weapons and surveillance research funded by the Israeli ministry of defense — the only foreign military financing research at the institute.”

That research included projects on drone swarm control — technology which the Israeli military has used during its siege on Gaza — pursuit algorithms, and underwater surveillance.

The theory for this is i like good things and everyone else likes bad things.

An Irish airline illegally transported munitions to Israel – despite just months before taking part in a Microsoft Teams call with Department of Transport officials after reports of its munitions flights to Israel.

After The Ditch reported that ASL had transported munitions to Israel – on a flight requiring authorisation from the transport minister – the Department of Transport contacted the airline.

The department and the airline had a Microsoft Teams call.

The airline soon after carried out another illegal weapons flight to Israel.

• Serbia and Hungary are collaborating with Russia on energy infrastructure, including an extension of the Druzhba pipeline, which undermines EU efforts to reduce reliance on Russian energy.
• Ukrainian drone attacks on the Druzhba pipeline have disrupted oil shipments and highlighted the vulnerabilities of relying on this infrastructure, leading to a strong reaction from Hungary.
• Serbia's actions pose a dual challenge for the EU by maintaining Russian energy dependence and potentially anchoring Chinese influence, complicating its EU accession negotiations on green agenda and sustainable connectivity.

...

EU Commissioner for Energy Dan Jørgensen unveiled an ambitious plan in June to stop all Russian oil and natural gas exports to the European Union by 2027. A little over one month later, Hungary and Serbia announced a joint effort to build additional infrastructure that would enable Russian oil exports to reach Serbia via an extension of the Druzhba pipeline. Once built, the pipeline will be able to convey upwards of 5 million tons of oil annually to Serbia. The target completion date is 2027.

A recent analysis published by the Western Balkans Center at New Lines Institute explains how Serbia’s actions are “revealing broader inefficiencies in the EU’s strategy to mitigate external energy influences.”

The analysis states Serbia is pursuing a “deliberate strategy of maneuvering between Russia and China to maximize autonomy while extracting concessions from Brussels. The result is a dual challenge for the EU – Serbia’s continuation of Russian energy dependence that undermines sanctions unity, and resource politics that could anchor Chinese influence at the heart of the Union’s green transition.”

...

“Serbian geopolitical maneuvering involving Russia is dangerous to European geopolitical stability and prosperity,” the analysis states. “Russia has historically capitalized on destabilization and conflict in the Western Balkans. This further diverts the region from EU democratic norms and allows Russia to extend its influence in Europe, despite EU sanctions.”

Governments can veto decisions on foreign affairs, enlargement and budget. But this also makes enacting sanctions against countries like Russia or Israel harder to approve.

"Mr Liquorland" hasn't seen people show up on bicycles?

Earlier Chris Hart, of Leith Liquorland, said he wasn’t opposed to cycleways, just poor planning and consultation which undermined businesses. ... Most customers arrived on foot, or in a vehicle, and “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bike turn up yet”.
