Two minutes after I woke up, my fiancee texted me. She told me that she was talking to her parents last night and they said that they can't wait to become grandparents... Even though me and her have been together for 4 years, it feels like everything is moving to fast :p

You know you're in trouble when they set up a daily "make baby" reminder on your house's smart speaker next time they visit.

this notebook can only kill people if you have their names and faces (is very labor intensive... writing names takes efforts if you want a large kill count). It's completely useless, say against a random tank crew.

Plus if a conventional army showed up at your doorstep, you can't just Notebook them out of existence (what are their names even?). But you CAN drop a tactical nuke on them... and everything, tanks, IFVs, helis etc... all gone

do you mean in terms of plausible deniability?

Nukes get mobs showing up at your door. Notbooks get you a religion.

Reminds me of the time I had some time off for myself on my birthday over a year ago. I invited a close friend from my college days and her husband; we watched Crimes of Grindelwald.

They dated for the better part of 8 or so years before tying the knot in late 2017, and a year after they married, their respective parents still hinted at hoping for a first grandkid; by that time, Junior was just a few months away from turning 3.

Speaking of Junior, he's turning 4 in just over a week.

Once the new Silk Road has become fully operational and geopolitical circumstances have convinced the EU and the PRC that more intense cooperation is the only way forward, things shall change immensely.
