Not all Jamaicans are black, either. . . And if it's like a Great-G-G-G-Grandfather, not even a small fraction of DNA from that person would be present (though it might be sufficient to confirm ancestry.)
It would have been easier if she said she was from New Jersey.
Some are comparing her to Gypsies.
The tanning thing is more common amongst British ones (who most wouldn't know were gypsies as even their grandparents would have noticed the trend away from the lifestyle, which is why most of the caravans are antiques.)
The MSX Turbo R has been difficult to emulate, but I discovered an emulator that works with the files I had (user data files which comprise of an uncommon 4 diskettes, in addition to 8 or so game files, only 6 of which have been fully translated.)
The Blue MSX emulator will only work if downloaded (online doesn't work for it, though neither does Retroarch seem to give options to change functionality for MSX) http://bluemsx.msxblue.com/download.html
My Dad would tie a door knob to some dental floss and yank mine out. So not so creative. Lol

This was specific to Cuba with what led up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It should be mentioned that US intel didn't even know the full extent of Russia's missile proliferation, and even at this time it was terrifying to what extent Russia had prepared to use the island of Cuba to potentially strike the US.

Weird mystery reports suggesting that very unusual and well documented cases, suggest that something like a sasquatch is real. I tend to doubt most of the sasquatch reports as they have evidently been hoaxed on more than a few occassions (much as over 300 alleged ufo crash sites have been reported in the last century which is obviously not the case.) These were unusual however, and another video by this guy is worth checking up on, as he does a good description of scary diving scenarios.

Hi everybody, meet my better half. She has Aspergers and teaches autistic children. Loves languages: speaks French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew. She's got it together better than me, I think.

I think these might be old videos they made and are just recently uploading (though they do mention soldiers. . . and getting into Chernobyl. . .) You can use CC autotranslate.
I don't think I have the patience to play this yet. I just started and finished Assassins Creed Rogue (which was largely a product of Ubisoft Kyiv team) which combined the Unity engine with gameplay from Black Flag, and AC3, which aside from the obnoxious cutaway into the Abstergo office, was somewhat a more interesting game than AC3 and Black Flag (which still had a better story and character dynamic, with far less glitches in gameplay which don't emerge until later in the game.)
Big Trouble In Little China (1986 by John Carpenter starring Kurt Russell)
I can kind of see where the movies Gremlins (1984 by Joe Dante) would have inspired this one, as it has all the cliche Asian stereotypes in a cringe way (even similar, you had directors like Stephen Spielberg showing Indian people eating monkey brain, which though might be somewhat true as you can go into Indian restaurants and find an actual brain masala dish, though to think the Hindu Indian people wouldn't have an issue with something resembling their god Haruman, or even something signifying cows sacredness, being eaten.)
John Carpenter's films had a huge influence on the Duke Nukem games.
I planned to check out the "big" 1980s directors (John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, Wes Craven, Clive Barker) that were less mainstream.
It's not peace when you know you are being lied to. Ukraine had agreement in early 90's that they would be defended if Russia ever invaded it (which it did and lied about in 2014.)
So Russia invaded Ukraine following military action in Donbas?) The threat of Russia was leading up to this for months, and I suspect Uranium was being misplaced for weapons programs after Ukraine was discussing increasing nuclear power capabilities.
references Russia admitting involvement with their own soldiers (which suggests this was a deliberate ploy to manipulate the Ukrainian government into succession, which is no different from if a foreign government involved itself into a Civil War by proxy for eventual takover, and you are perhaps correct that governments shouldn't be allowed to disregard sovereignty; and if that were the case why is Russia attacking civilians locations knowing they are for no other reason than shelters, or genocidal attacks against Ukrainians which would be a bit like if Russia decided they would just annihilate muslim groups? And these were foreigners to Ukraine.
Protests against the Russian government involvement in February 2014 lead to the escalation of the covert invasion, which lead to a Trade Union House being burned and 39 consolate members being killed by the locals in Odessa. Most of these events are escalations and false trusts, the same as how the Azov battalion became more militarized against the incursions which were clearly foreign based support.
****************
Did the annexation of Crimea result from legitimate favor to Russian-nationalists (and is it not the same as claiming that any minority group would rather declare independence of free-will?)
So basically the people in charge of Ukraine's defense in 2014 did turncoat and fled to Russia, so if people acting in the best interest of Ukraine was represented, you may have to re-evaluate what actually happened.
Reuters - Why Ukrainian forces gave up Crimea without a fight - and NATO is alert:
"The career of Sergei Yeliseyev helps to explain why Ukraine’s armed forces gave up Crimea almost without a fight"
And perhaps the situation with the Odessa protest started out peacefully, and when Russia had knowingly involved itself with invasion it then lead to a bloodbath.
Wikipedia - 2014 Crimean status referendum:
"The Venice Commission declared that the referendum was illegal under both Ukrainian and Crimean Constitutions, and violated international standards and norms"
The problem is when Russia is believed to have caused death and destruction and then tries to blame rogue Ukrainians or marauders as causing assaults when it's evident that people within their own military are causing the harm present. This is especially telling when things like the Beslan massacre were Russia addressing a terrorist organization, and their approach to resolving the conflict was by firebombing the school with children inside. This seems to show a certain precedent for how Russia deals with conflict when they believe they can get away with blaming or denying accountability, much as has been proven when Putin is clearly shown responsible for poisoning or killing people he views as a threat to his power-base.
Incidentally one of the family members was working for the CIA and assisted with the freedom of Jewish concentration camp victims (where one of the survivors working for US Congress commemorated his efforts) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_Wal ... onnections
It kind of reminded me of one of the Rockefellers who died young while getting stranded near Papua New Guinea where he was presumed cannibalized, though may have died under different circumstances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rockefeller
A man who survived for a year with a tribe in the Amazon rain forest investigated Rockefeller and claims someone gave a confession of having eaten Michael. His own account is rather weird as well.
It's my understanding the hotel was near completion but was abandoned when Indonesia faced financial collapse during 1998, and was never used. Since these videos were revealing this hotel, security guards used to watch over it and request somewhat large fees to check it out, until part of the hotel posed a major safety issue and became closed off.
Bali also has a strange tourist attraction where they extort visitors for $45 to take a boat for a 20 minute trip to see exposed bodies decomposed beneath an ancient banyan tree. The first image is of that. . . The above video also explores this part of Bali, in addition, visits the Paris catacombs. https://theworldtravelguy.com/desa-trun ... kintamani/
He explores the more famous aspects of the catacombs.
The above video continues an investigation (but only from the other end of the city where the mine operations started from) and you can check a continuation of this video at 15 minutes into this video: https://youtu.be/7BGhoG51Gc4
A comment has a bunch of highlighted sections to listen to. I get the impression that they are mostly bullshitting and are probably acting in most of it, because most all of it is obnoxious "can you year that," which of course you fucking can't because they are always talking.
I can kind of understand if this was a virtual world, but it's the most mind-numbingly retarded layout for a house conceivable. The guy only directed shitty B-rated films, and their is no fucking way he could afford such crap. Not even Jeff Bezos seems this retarded and he could actually afford it (and I'm wondering who bought it?)
It even contains a moat, for when you need to fend of invaders during a zombie apocolypse:
"The residential property features nine bedrooms, multiple kitchens, a nightclub, four-lane bowling alley, salon, gym, 50-seat theater, a running track, a 50-car underground garage, and a moat."
I'm starting to see why it's called Secret Lives, as the absurdity of it shows the misplaced values. That $177 million Malibu home mentioned was a 1920's home that was renovated (and likely due to provinance of who owned it; but I digress, that even historical properties attached to more famous clothing designers have been left abandoned and in ruined, such as a Scottish Chanel property,) and it sold for $36 million more than this place, which suggests that the initial $500 million asking price was trying to justify how misplaced it is, as the only person that would live in this is someone that likes getting locked inside malls. The thought that it could only justify its existence is if someone invited all of Los Angeles and had a 24-hour party 365 days of the year, with a price of admittance, which I'm pretty sure it's not commercially zoned for; and yet it was clearly designed and decorated as if someone was so wealthy and didn't want to bother with traffic, so they curated the place with the shallowness and vacuousness of commercial enslavement and turned to alcoholism.
Usually in history (such as the 'gilded age') when people invest so much into a property due to incredible inequalities, these properties get abandoned and run down for a number of reasons, which in turn means they don't often remain around or even function as a house (if this one even does to begin with) a decade after being built.
Good luck to whoever bought it as it would certainly be an investment that even a multi-billionaire would have to justify owning in some way. I'm also expecting they will change out the odd 'museum' art, which looks like bloodied bullet holes on canvas, which also contrast with the ones with solid blood color streaks. The Playboy room was also a classy touch, which may go well with the micro-suede which doubles as a sound dampener for when people scream in panic while running down the halls once cabin fever sets in.
This property likely will be used as an Airbnb (that is until residential zoning might forbid such operations,) and I can easily see that being a good investment if people pool together money and make use of it for that purpose, though it would likely require constant staffing to maintain as well, and I don't see a security room being mentioned which you might want to install, in case of legal issues when hosting parties. . . This would attract people "out of the woodwork" with such intent to exploit the wealth (and/or generosity as it were) of whoever uses it.
Update: as I was saying, a $5 million+ mansion used in a hit movie 20 years ago was left abandoned around the same time. The wasteful absurdity of it is palpable. https://youtube.com/c/XPLR_YT
Another home had become abandoned following the death of the owner, and/or was forfeited to a bankruptcy court, where apparently some golf course development now owns it, and according to posts on the video, the neighboring house of the Saudi Prince that owned this is another prince related to them. It is an ugly and rotting wood with rusted-looking brutalist-sytle home that looks similar to the glass church near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, though located in Virginia, and most of the house appears underground, and I'll try to see if an exploration video appears, as someone could likely have entered through the pool room roof. The property had a reputation for drug busts which is typically what happens when sitting abandoned.
According to this it was built and lived in by a Saudi royal for a month, and ever since then has been abandoned. . . So apparently criminals started to use it for drug trafficking. At some point it passed hands to an inventor who died in 2011 (and I might remember seeing this mentioned somewhere.)
Hampton Court CCTV footage of alleged apparition, in addition to looking at an apparition photo which they believe is Sybil Penn (a nurse to Queen Elizabeth who died of small pox and had sightings and activity unique to her presence show up following after her tomb getting moved to a new location due to damage.
More recently an even creepier apparition seems to have been captured, which they attribute to Queen Elizabeth’s nurse when she had small pox (and herself died from it while Elizabeth survived,) and apparently when her tomb was moved activity started showing up in her former apartment space she lived in, which then became an office, and from description it seems similar to how I imagine this figure to glide across the floor. As to why it seems to have long flowing hair (which looks nothing like I’d imagine Sybil Penn to look like judging by her marble funerary sculpture.) Is this spooky apparition the Grey Lady of Hampton Court?
