The people of Afghanistan did not choose their government. Nor were they involved in the Doha negotiations on the withdrawal of American and other NATO troops. Nor have they voted for the policies changing the country, including the question of education for girls over the age of 13. So much for what are now domestic political matters. But the economic shock therapy being visited on the country is an international matter with regional, political as well as economic consequences....

While the original Don’t Starve already released on Switch in April 2018, Don’t Starve Together is essentially an entirely different experience. It’s a standalone multiplayer component, but one with so many additonal expansions and new mechanics that it’s hard to compare the two. Don’t Starve Together also allows up to six players at once, making it more robust than the average co-op game. As a result, Together is worth checking out on Switch even if someone has played the original, and its release is just one piece of Don’t Starve getting a resurgence it deserves....

Trump himself weighed in Friday, tweeting that ESPN is “paying a really big price” for its alleged left-wing bias. Without mentioning Hill by name, Trump demanded ESPN, or perhaps Hill, “apologize for untruth.” Trump’s tweet came only two days after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that Hill’s “outrageous” comments constituted a “fireable” offense. ESPN declined to comment Friday morning.

“Once again, The estate and family of Isaac Hayes DID NOT approve the use of ‘Hold on I’m coming’ by Sam and Dave by Donald Trump at his 2024 Presidential announcement tonight,” Hayes’ Twitter account wrote on Tuesday night. “We are exploring multiple legal options to stop this unauthorized use.” The musician’s family continued to rail against Trump in a follow-up tweet. “Stopping a politician from using your music is not always an easy task, but we are dedicated to making sure that Donald Trump does not continue to use ‘Hold on I’m Coming’ by written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter in further rallies and public appearances,” they wrote....

Though Iran denies involvement, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have both blamed Tehran for last weekend’s attacks on the facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais in the east of the country. The Iran-backed Houthi militia—currently fighting a Saudi-led coalition as part of Yemen’s civil war—has claimed responsibility. Trump has declared the U.S. military “locked and loaded” to respond to the strikes, while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has decried the suspected drone and cruise missile attack as an “act of war....

Two weeks after Lake lost her midterm race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, the former president suggested the election was rigged against his endorsed candidate, saying it was “almost as bad” as the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden. In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that Lake should be installed as Arizona governor over the victorious Hobbs, while making claims about the voting machines in the state....

Wednesday December 18 History was made today: President Donald J. Trump became only the third president in history to be impeached. The two articles of impeachment passed almost exactly along party lines: abuse of power (230 in favor, 197 against, with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii voting “present”) and obstruction of Congress (229 in favor, 198 against, with Gabbard again voting “present”). The final vote came at 8:53 p. m....

“This is very big news. People are starting to see the light. Great for America,” Trump wrote in the statement. Included in the statement were two tweets Raffensperger posted on Monday, saying that counties in the state “cannot continue” to infringe on ballot drop box rules. “Restoring confidence in our elections is going to be impossible as long as Fulton County’s elections leadership continues to fail the voters of Fulton County and the voters of Georgia....

“This is wrong and not who we are,” Trump Jr. wrote on Twitter. “Be peaceful and use your 1st Amendment rights, but don’t start acting like the other side. We have a country to save and this doesn’t help anyone.” The comment was attached to a video of Trump supporters clashing with federal police in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. The area entered lockdown on Wednesday afternoon as a group of protesters pushed through fencing and breached the building....

Riot police gathered around the Legislative Council on Wednesday while the law had its second reading which, if passed, could mean a jail sentence and a fine of up to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars ($6,449) for anyone who misuses or insults China’s national anthem, the BBC reported. Officers fired pepper pellets and made around 300 arrests in several locations. It comes only days after unrest was sparked by a national security law which China’s ruling Communist Party is seeking to impose....

Dubbed “The History Tour,” the former president will discuss the history of his administration at the events, O’Reilly tweeted Tuesday. Held on December 11, 18, and 19, each event will begin at 3 p.m. local time at their respective venues. Tickets will be available from June 14 to the general public at Ticketmaster and via the websites of some of the venues hosting the tour. In a press release announcing the tour, Trump said he plans to address “exactly how things were accomplished, as well as challenges, both good and bad....

Results of a national survey, conducted by Morning Consult and Politico on Wednesday and Thursday, suggested the sitting president’s approval rating reached its lowest point since the beginning of his term in the White House. Figures indicated that 60 percent of respondents now disapprove of Trump’s handling of the presidency, with 49 percent noting “strong” disapproval. Just 39 percent of the individuals surveyed said they approved of the president, and an even slimmer portion of responses expressed strong approval....

While fans assumed that the evil version of Stephen Strange, who has now been labeled “Sinister Strange,” in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer is the one they last saw in What If…?, there could possibly be some disappointment coming their way. It turns out that the team behind the much-awaited film loved What If…? episode 4 and simply hope to recreate some of the madness in the upcoming sequel....

During the late 60s and early 70s, the BBC regularly deleted content from its archives. This was done for a variety of practical reasons: sometimes, there was a lack of space to store the footage; other times, the BBC no longer had the rights to broadcast given material. As a result of this practice, dozens of episodes of the classic series were deleted, and 97 are still considered lost to this day....

Java conveniently provides a built-in solution to the problem: Javadoc. Javadoc Can Help You Document Your Code Automatically Hopefully, you already follow good coding practices and include explanatory comments in your code. While this type of in-code commenting is certainly helpful, it doesn’t really provide anything comparable to a manual. Sure, another programmer can look through your code and read about the specific classes, methods, and functions that are in front of him....

Taylor gave the Dodgers a two-out baserunner in the top of the ninth of a tie game Saturday and looked ready to set the team up with runners on the corners after a single by Cody Bellinger, but he made a last-second decision to turn back to second and was tagged out in a rundown to end the inning. The next half-inning, Braves third baseman Austin Riley singled down the left-field line to score second baseman Ozzie Albies and walk off the Dodgers 3-2 in Game 1 of the NLCS....
