Did my promised Nation, Small world all expert PC players in #Humankind. All random set-up except rivers (maxxed)
The small world does change a lot everything is so compact.
I got a small continent on my own, and used my Pama-Nyungan to rapidly claim it.

I cannot believe that those around Vonn are not stepping in to stop this.
At a minimum of 2 downhill runs with an ruptured ACL (and other damage) this has the potential to be catastrophically bad.

I hear from the other room the kids are watching Bluey, the "Rain" episode in particular. Very distinctive music on that one.

After reading a few guides, I dusted off Old World again and did somewhat better than the last few games.
Definitely need to focus even more on military build-up than i did even in this game.
Completed 10 accomplishments for a win that way, though I was leading in score.

Shopping done, the chipper is still going strong.
Running constantly, but only being used occasionally as the debris is readied before being put in.
Head is already pounding, not going to be a good day for me here.

A neighbour is having some tree removal and landscaping done.
There is a massive industrial mulcher/chipper right in front of my house, about 20 feet from my desk. Going to be hard to focus today, its VERY noisy.

Latest Humankind run through.
Huge map, 9 opponents. 5 Advanced, 4 expert.
Everything about the map random, except lots of rivers.
Initial expansion was nice and quick, found a large continent shared with just 1 expert opponent. Blocked them in nicely and eventually allied with them.

Played CIV 6 during the winter storm. Marathon, Immortal difficulty (never won on Diety), Huge splintered fractal map.
Played the Cree. Decent start in that I got 3 cities settled before anyone really got close. However, soon after that Portugal declared a surprise war.

Davante Adams is 0-5 in conference title games. Only other player since merger who has played in 5+ conference title games and lost them all was John Cappelletti (0-6 for Rams and Chargers)

Mike McCarthy. Green Bay. Dallas and now Pitsburgh.
Three massively storied franchises, I doubt there will be a coaching resume like it for many, many years.
Good luck to him (except when facing the Packers of course)

I would have loved to see Haffley with all his defensive pieces fit next season, but he totally deserves a chance at being a Head Coach in the NFL.

If DHS is actually looking for sex offenders, have they tried 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in DC ?
Sometimes the old guy there flees to the sun and can be found on S Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach.

I really don't understand the Bill's decision, one of THE most successful coaches currently.
But no-one pays me the big bucks to do so.
He will not be out of a job for long, that is for damn sure.
