Speaking of Tucker..The hero of the common folk.

Kanye also got a slice of that pie. =)
Guess this is what happens when Trump is allowed to fire the guy who was supposed to watch over who got the bailouts.
I kind of remember the democrats wanting bipartisan oversight on the loans, wich didnt happen either.

Hot as hell here in långa lander falukorv.
Going over to sisters place to watch my niece for a while in the afternoon, and i have a plan.

She has a crazy sprinkler thingy, kind of like the one below, but its a squid so a bit more flailing going on.

The plan is to put that under this:

I expect great things.
 
Good news (maybe), They are doing a reboot of those guys.
You ever try out their slot?
Think its Blueprint. (edit: i know its blueprint)
I think it was pretty decent, but i guess its very similar to alot of their other slots, sausage party,ted,etc.

Soon you'll have TED Megaways. :D

Although, disappointingly it is a 100% clone of Return of Kong Megaways. :(

Like, whats the point in releasing something like that.
I dont really know of all the different ted bonuses or mini-features, but im sure they could have made an effort and used them for something good.

Indeed Kroffe, not point whatsoever other than cashing in on the Megaways frenzy as long as the gravy train is still speeding ahead. :D

What's worse, they toned down the language as well. So the silly comments are all but gone.

The modifiers are more or less comparable with Beavis & Butt-Head.

Had a quick look at ted, and the locking symbols, extra bonus-symbols, extra wilds etc are all features that would translate well to a megaways slot.
Guess they couldnt be bothered. =)

Yes, i mean whats the point in cloning? Its not like anyone would play a DOA clone eh my good friend Kroffe ;p

Actually dont mind a clone of Return Of Kong Megaways. Its one of the better ones for me so if nots playing, as long as its 10p's, i can switch to the other.

Speaking of clones, was thinking this morning how frequent the bonus is on Halloween Jack compared to JATB.

The big fella comes out more often than the full reel wilds also it seems.

Probably been mentioned before but it plays so different for a clone for me.

Thanks for the laugh bamber, still can't stop! :D :D :D

Barely an iota difference between HJ and JatB. The RTP: 96.28% vs 96.30%

For the rest, there is no difference:

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have found that Whos the bride is slightly similar to Dead or alive, but to call it a clone is taking it way too far.

Even if it was a clone, it would be intended for the asian market, so the clone would have a purpose.
Now tell me dear Bambi, what sort of purpose would cloning Kong serve?
 
Have fun! :)
Oh well, that was a bust.
Got there, nobody home.
Weird.

Called sister, she then told me her appointment had been moved, and she and the kids had gone to the beach.
Thought about constructing the Sprinkoline© and try it myself, but decided to let myself in her house and steal a bag och cinnamon buns out of her freezer instead.
Hopefully this will teach her that forgetting to cancel babysitters comes with a cost.

Don't know what to make of the current geopolitical machinations going on with the west and china, an american film producer has now commissioned christopher steele among others to compile a report on huawei:

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.


Chinese technology giant Huawei has been accused of trying to manipulate high-profile Britons to back the company's role in UK's 5G infrastructure.

The accusations have come in a privately-funded dossier commissioned by a US film producer Andrew Duncan and compiled with the help of ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele.

The 86-page dossier, seen by the Daily Mail, claims that many influential people in Britain, including politicians and academics, were targeted by Huawei to act as "useful idiots" for Beijing.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is reportedly considering plans to phase out the use of Huawei's equipment in Britain's 5G infrastructure within months. Such a decision would be welcomed by the White House and a group of Tory MPs who have been demanding a complete ban on Huawei in the UK.

Trudeau rejects calls to release top Huawei executive

Canada's prime minister is rejecting calls to step in to end the extradition trial of a Chinese Huawei executive.

Justin Trudeau said doing so would "imperil" Canadians abroad by opening them to potential random detention.

Two Canadians were detained shortly after Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, was arrested in Vancouver on request from the US.

Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat, and Michael Spavor, a businessman, have been held in China since December 2018.

Their arrests came just days after Ms Meng's detention in what has been seen by critics as an act of "hostage diplomacy".

Mr Trudeau was responding to pressure from a group of prominent former Canadian parliamentarians and diplomats, and from some family members of the detained men, to end Ms Meng's extradition proceedings.


What's the background?

Meng Wanzhou - the chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei, and daughter of the company's founder - was arrested on 1 December 2018 in Vancouver.

Her arrest was requested by the US justice department, which accused her of breaking Iranian sanctions. She is still fighting extradition to the US.

The US has labelled Huawei a security risk and banned the sale of its products.
US politicians are also pushing allies, including Canada, to block Huawei from their markets.




She could get 10 years jail if found guilty in the US, I can't see this being a good diplomatic move. Very strange and worrying times we live in.

And which company bidding for government contracts is not trying to influence/manipulate/lobby (all the same meaning) "influential people"?

Go ahead and install a 5G network that is years behind Huawei and more than double the price. And best of all, it will allow the US to spy on you.

Just ask Merkel how her phone was tapped by the US. Not a single core item in Germany's mobile network was from China at the time. FYI, a lot of it was from the US. :rolleyes:

Boris starting to kowtow to the US already! As I said repeatedly, chlorine chicken will be your smallest worry. :D

I was posting the articles more for discussion than saying I agreed with this chris steele report etc.., the articles themselves are framed the way they are, first ones I saw really other than the daily mail running it, and they get more than enough traffic and links to their site.

But I wonder why is it all happening now after agreeing for Huawei to help install the 5G network, and Xi was invited over to encourage chinese investment in the UK, had a chat and pint with PM cameron etc..

Regarding the geopolitical angle, given those things are probably decided in 10-20 year plans, it seems strange to make sudden changes in course. It is like there is a divide in thinking at the high levels of govt and influence. Maybe by cancelling the huawei deals the uk will get a better trade deal with the US, that could be part of it?

I think the whole 'security risk' is a cover for disrupting China's economy as much as possible.

Reminds me of the cold war a little.

Edit: I find it hard not to see nearly every move as a desperate attempt to hold on to their failing grip on the rest of the world.

Cuckoo fantasyland mate! :rolleyes:

Never heard of the piecemeal tactic? After getting one concession, there will be the next, then the next, then the next, then the next. The US is not your friend when it comes to a trade deal.

Well, they want to force agriproducts into the UK that use 82 chemical substances restricted in the EU for health reasons, maybe they give you concession and ask for 80 only to be allowed. :rolleyes:

Dream on mate! The US will squeeze you to the maximum.
 
I don't think he agreed with it.




Trump's defence always appears to be a mantra of " I am the President and above the Law', so I tried to fact-check his statement, and it made for very disturbing reading indeed.

So, is the President above the Law?

As the President is the chief enforcer of the law, the reasoning is that he is therefore incapable of breaking the law - according to Nixon.

And further: "Whether you agree that the President can’t commit a crime or not, the power of prosecution stops with the President."

But the following statement is what I personally find horrifying:

"Many of the situations not directly mentioned in the Constitution have come down to tradition and an honor system of sorts. As we currently have a President who seems to feel less beholden to either of those things, gaps in our federal law are being exposed."

I guess the Constitution was just waiting for someone of Trump's ilk to come along, ready to throw honour and tradition onto the scrapheap, in order to find ways to misinterpret/disregard the Constitution when it suits his purposes.

And that, in a nutshell, is what emboldens behaviour which is tantamount to that of those dictators he appears to worship.
