For those of us who played Doom multiplayer over a network back in the 90s (the OG “Deathmatch”), you were very familiar with Doomguy(s): Image

Not to mention the iconic box art: Image

I recognise one of those names: Hans Speidel was part of the plot to assassinate Hitler (by detonating a briefcase explosive), and was later arrested by the Gestapo. He also famously didn’t relay Hitler’s orders to bombard Paris with V1 and V2 rockets to his superior.

I can kind of understand why someone like him led NATO forces.

Don’t know about the rest of them though.

Depends where you live. Just look up regional PC builders and see if they do laptops. They pretty much all sell Clevo, often unbranded or you can request they don’t brand it.

eBay might be another option. Or a laptop refurbisher. I’ve picked up several refurbished Clovos over the years that were ex workstations of some big enterprise.

Custom PC builder in a Clevo case or something is my guess. Chomsky but far easier to get better parts in them and since they’re for custom builders, they’re easy to open and upgrade etc.

You are blessed with a country with a functioning education system. It seems some countries only educate to the level of “Welcome to McDonald’s. Can I take your order?”

And that’s the bottom line… ‘cause Stone Cold said so!

That’s because it is. I worked at a place that did this kind of photography for businesses years back. That steak probably got 20 seconds on each side to sear, the grill marks and caramelization painted on, the juice around it some colored glue, the steam some guy’s vape; those sorts of things.

You’d never want to eat the photography subject afterwards.

Repeating old Reddit memes seems to be a bit of a faux pas around here.

That changed on June 27, 2024. You can now have dual citizenship with any other country.

Nice little touch there by the journalist.
