Nice pomp and pageantry, but the fact is that the real transition to Chinese rule already took place two weeks ago–and it was hardly so civil.

Broken Tooth), sauntered into Courtroom No. 1 of Macau’s old courthouse to face the verdict in his criminal trial.

Biden said the new round of sanctions will target Russia’s largest banks, wealthy individuals, and further isolate the country from the global economy. The sanctions were designed to have a “maximum long-term” cost to Russia, Biden said, while limiting the impact to the U.S. and other countries. “This is a dangerous moment for all of Europe,” Biden said, adding that Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine represented “a sinister vision for the rest of the world....

“We are not going to go to any part of the state, or visit any community, where we would take away from relief efforts,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday, adding that the trip is being “planned in close coordination with leaders on the ground.” The news comes as state and local officials have urged evacuees not to immediately return because thousands of homes remain without power and other services, and many roads are still blocked by downed trees and other debris....

Following the announcement that the Oculus Touch controllers will be released later this year, Valve used Steam Dev Days to confirm that it is developing new VR controllers of its own. As reported by TechCrunch, Valve’s new hardware allow users to both pick up and drop virtual objects without actually letting go of the controller itself. The prototype images that Valve shared during the event seem to suggest that the controllers are wrist-mounted which is a lot different from the existing, wand-like controllers for (Valve’s VR headset) the HTC Vive....

It can be incredibly frustrating to play against, which is what makes it so fun. What is the Dark Magician Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel? Dark Magician Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!
