The fabula of "Dune" was heavily inspired by the historical novel "The Sabres of Paradise" by Lesley Blanch about these events.

Yikes, there’s was a UK music group of the early nineties called “Sabres of Paradise” I imagine this book was the inspiration for their name.

Although I don’t think their music reflects any of this.

I felt like there's some base plot that is solid and holding it together, but all the intermediate filling was tasteless. Then I noticed the part: "From creators of the Game of Thrones"

like hobbits drinking ent water

Is that why they sent Scott Kelly for a year up there and then compared him to his twin?

didn't they do that to test the effects of being in space for a long time on general health, dna status? See how much bones degrade, if blood chemistry stays the same, etc.

Stormgate looks like it was developed a decade before SC2, not a decade after

In what sense? Graphically or gameplay wise?

Either way, that's arguably not a bad thing. Approximately a decade before SC2 was a golden age of RTS games. Homeworld and Red Alert 2 came out around that time. Give me more of that and I'm happy.

“Only opposition party” is a fundamentally fascist way of seeing things.

I genuinely can't follow that train of thought

Was the recent change to legislation which made only 3 years of residence enough to apply for citizenship a trigger for this? In most countries it’s 5-10 years

With extra sauce of numerous mergers and rebrandings. So, every 3 to 7 years, this phoenix of shit is reborn

> With extra sauce of numerous mergers and rebrandings

That's actually a good hypothesis that hasn't been examined before, I believe.

TBF, it's been called Tieto-something for thirty years or so. The most recent merger is visible as a suffix until the next one. Except if there isn't one for a while, then they revert to just Tieto after a few years.

Source: Worked at "TT Tietotehdas" (organic part of the name, not a suffix, AIUI) in 1996 and have had to do with it every now and then after that.

On the “suffix” side there was EDB -> rebranded EDB -> EDBErgoGroup -> Evry in several years. Also changed hands following a loss of major customer in 2015 before being merged with Tieto

Sure, but I wasn't thinking about this particular case but more generally. We have all sorts of results already on M&As from which to draw.
