I wonder whether these figures ever account for tax breaks and such? Anybody more familiar with the industry know, since you know... nearly every damn thing made these days has several states, provinces or countries listed in their "thanks for the free money" section of credit scenes.

    "What apps do you need..."
    Not a request or suggestion, just a vent... Only the one, that pisses me off about any and every mobile OS equally. A web browser that can be used for maps/mail/whatever other stuff from whatever other service, so I don't have to use countless pointless apps. Sadly I doubt this would ever happen, the effort to create such a browser that would work perfectly fine and be secure and utilise the hardware features of any phone seems equivalent to just building the OS itself.
    Note: I do think many basic apps are perfectly fine and super useful, even more so when they aren't just a shell for sending everything off to some server datacenter to process your queries.

    Not sure wtf is Argentina playing but it's not football, dirty plays all around. They absolutely don't deserve to win. I didn't like any previous games from Spain, but at least in this one they aren't doing 11man defense constantly.

    I'm sure that new pipeline is gonna help contribute towards hiring of housekeeping/maintenance staff who should take care of non-nursing duties. You know, after it's all done and billions are spent on it and it's generating income for....anyway, no strikes allowed for any governmental/provincial employees soon^TM^

    1. Buy cheap shit on Amazon, that is refundable.
      6a. Select fastest delivery free to you.
      6b. Return item for full refund.
      6c. ???
      6d. Amazon doesn't profit.

    Of course we'd need to do this on large scale.

    Just supports the voices saying how corrupt FIFA as a whole is.
    Utterly useless refereeing, that pointy nose fouling Paraguayan sack of shit, whatever his name is should have been sent of 3 times and I don't even like France or care if they win.

    Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

    Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
