Interesting question, and as lots have already commented, judges are possibly biased to whoever keeps them in power.

Perhaps a lottery amongst the pool of potential judges (lawyers or whoever it may be)

A combination rifle shotgun sounds like something that would be useful for shooting drones in Ukraine.

Careful, you've gone so far down the maze you'll need a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back

It's called the motherboard, so there's something in the name I think too.

Excellent choice! In my vague memories it was an original game with a fun theme

Black & White 2 gets my vote

I didn't remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn ~~rock music~~, ~~mini skirts~~, ~~Doom game~~, ~~horror movie~~ for all the bad things that are happening.

Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy

The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!

It's an old joke updated for new technology .. that's part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

As a fan of both authors I'd just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I've never really thought about it and I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, but they have similar humour in the way they look at humans and social interaction.

Upon leaving the EU any laws that were in use were 'enshrined' into UK law. In order for the UK to remove EU laws we'd need to actively remove them through an act of parliament. (At least that's my vague understanding..) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eu-legislation-and-uk-law

I'm happy to keep the EU laws, it'll save time when we rejoin.🇪🇺🇬🇧

I think the guilty party could only be more obvious if he'd fallen out of a window...
