It's an argument

but one that no-one's noticed until now, which makes me wonder how valid it might be

1/
I assume agt is like that for not having an unlimited transition period: infringement of 3rd-state relations provisions in EU treaties.

If backstop in place indefinitely, then becomes de facto 3rd-state relation, but on 'wrong' legal basis

2/
counter-agt might be that it's contingent on failure to agree alternative arrangements, so axiomatically only in place when nothing else is

3/
We need a lawyer for this one, I think

A quick run-through of how the EU has dealt with non-approval of treaties, just, you know, in case:

1/
I'll start by noting this very useful book by @dermot_hodson and Imelda Maher, who are very much worth reading on this

2/
In short, the EU doesn't like re-opening texts, so failures to approve result in efforts to give the non-approver enough political space to accept the same legal text

For all your keen types who didn't take this week off too, a couple of things to keep in mind over the weekend:

1/
Next week is the return of Parliament (and all those holidaying people, bah), so Sunday is going to give an early indicator of who's out to make the running on the Meaning Vote

2/
On gvt side, how senior a figure gets wheeled out to make the case for? Probably not the top level (save them for next w/e), but can they find someone with an air of genuine enthusiasm for it all?

Right, a bit early for this sort of thing, but let's try to gather ourselves as 2019 kicks off with an update on what been happening in Brexit-land over the break:

1/
You'll recall that pre-Xmas the talk was all about UK ratification of the Withdrawal Agt and May's huge problems therewith

2/
You'll also recall that a major issue was with the time: to wit, there isn't much

May's gambit in delaying the Meaningful Vote seemed only to make sense in pushing the rhetoric of her deal or no-deal: vote late, so there's no time for alternatives

OK so you may have seen The Eternal Castle [Remastered] going around.
It's a CGA-styled game that came out today. Looks nice!
But it has backstory. Let's look into that.

store.steampowered.com/app/963450/The…
So according to the developers, this is a remastered/reimagining of a game they found on a random disk at their dad's office as a kid. That version sadly broke, and they were never able to find the game again.
So that inspired the creation of this version. steamcommunity.com/games/963450/a…
and if you look around the internet, you'll find a copy on the internet archive! it includes some nice screenshots.

But sadly the game doesn't work. It's asking for disk 2, and disk 2 just isn't here.

I'm gonna play Dork Souls II offline with a ton of mods and report. Please mute this thread if uninterested, it will get spammy and spoilery.
Mods used: Second Sin, SpeedDemon, Item Randomizer, Clean UI, Reshade with MasterEffect.
The first change you'll notice is a few steps into the tutorial. The Second Sin mod is an enemy placement mod. It replaces the harmless little critters in this zone with wheel skeletons! I have only played the 1st area on a burner character, so I dunno yet how hard it is.
Obviously, the only way to play such as challenge run is as a deprived with no gift.

🔹

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

It's been 20 days since Q last spoke to us & there's been a lot of speculation as to whether or not we were being left to stand on our own. Last night, Q showed in full form & on fire. Settle, there's a story to be told.

From Sea to Shining Sea, Q is letting us know we're about to learn what Sessions has been doing quietly behind the scenes from the beginning. Something BIG is about to happen and as Q often says, #TrustSessions

In order to understand the story, first we need to understand 38 US Code Section 519 - Supervision of Litigation. Here, we find Sessions, and ONLY Sessions shall supervise ALL litigation unless otherwise authorized by law.

Okay, babies. So, I've been reading the Manafort indictment and watching the Trumpnet's response to it for the last hour or so.
IANAL (and also I'm not a lawyer) and I'm a little short on sleep, so I won't be attempting an in-depth explainer on the charges themselves.
You can read the indictment here, if you're interested. justice.gov/file/1007271/d…
