  I’m not an American but the Marshall plan post WW2 is probably the most successful diplomatic and foreign investment program in history. It cemented us allies and deptors for decades. I doubt this 35000 jobs lost in Jordan will have the effect of 35000 American jobs being created nor do I think it will directly improve the lives of any Americans. I also think this makes room for other foreign interests to be established in Jordan, some of which may be geopolitical adversaries to the US such as China.

  Personally I think this is a good thing because fuck the usa I’m still mad that they couped my countries (Australia) elected leader. But I am sympathetic to the hardships sure to arise because of this in Jordan.

  Hi, I have some questions about this. I’m interested in storing movies and tv shows on Blu ray discs. If I burn video formats onto discs how hard is it to get those to play back on various different Blu ray players. I imagine it’s simple when it’s connected to a PC but what about through typical Blu ray players you might plug into your tv or a gaming console like a PS4?

  The source document wasn’t written by the guardian and I would consider it somewhat objective in its analysis. I haven’t gone through any of their sources yet mainly due to the sheer number of them though.

  Yeah civ5 with vox populi is scratching the 4X itch for me. 120AUD is a little steep for me, I might check it out on a free weekend or for a large enough discount. I feel like with civ you’ve also gotta factor in the hundreds of dollars of DLC that’s bound to come out.
