Overwatch 1+1 = 2, or 1+0=0, or 2+2=1?

Overwatch 2-1

110k reviews is not surprising.

Earlier this month another video was released showing the IR camera feed on a Reaper drone in 2021 capturing a mushroom shaped, cold object flying above the Syrian countryside. The Reaper gets a lock on the UAP, the operator zooms in to get a better look, and then suddenly the mushroom diverts course, breaks the lock and then appears to zoom off in what can only be described as instantaneous acceleration and change of direction. No apparent flight surfaces and the object was showing as cold compared to the surroundings.
Just a mushroom breaking the laws of physics, while being recorded and practically mocking the drone operator

Your first question is free. For the others, please pay 100 Tim 🪙 each.
No, vacuums are not traditionally classified as power tools. But, I consider anything whose vibrations make my hands shake, to be a power tool.
proud jay
what kind of vacuum do you have my guy lol
summer cedar
It's got a tough motor inside a small body. I think that's why the vibrations reach my hand after holding it for an hour.
Like this, but with a less convenient handle. It's a 1.2KW motor.
800W less than a 2KW jackhammer.
And I wish mine had a handle like that.
But, mine's a slightly older model and I have to hold it up on the front.
summer cedar
Sorry, Dieter?

ok but from a PC point of view it's kinda new
median wraith
I will increase my prices 10€ for each AA tech added
the fact they charge the same price now that they charge in consoles
is absurd
always has been 10€ at least more in consoles
as they provide the platform
here they don't provide anything

COD was 80€ on consoles meanwhile was 60€ on PC
for example

also invest on future consoles
here is the user that invest totally on the platform

they cover the cost by charging 30% of all games sold on their platform

normally they do the 1 dollar = 1 euro conversion, which is already insane since the euro is a stronger currency, but this is just scamming
