Suffice it to say there are some incredibly ambitious mods for Skyrim, ones which go beyond tweaking the original formula or improving the graphics, but actually extend the shelf life of this already lengthy RPG. For many, modding TES5 is not just a neat little extra to be done after completing the main storyline, it’s a vital part of the experience. After more than a decade, many people have seen pretty much everything the game has to offer, possibly multiple times....

In a recent post to Twitter, AMD announced it will be unveiling the latest addition to its Radeon RX 6000 range, which could be the Nvidia alternative many have been waiting for. The tweet states that the official announcement will be made on March 3rd at 11AM EST (8AM PT or 4PM GMT). Not much else can be gleamed from the tweet other than a link to the company’s official page which showcases previous unveilings....

Talks of team red preparing the follow-up to its current Radeon range have been hovering around the web for some time now. Whereas team green appear to be offering cards that go for brute power, AMD seems to want RDNA 3 to offer more efficiency. Indeed, Nvidia’s 4000 series has already shown just how massive it is, even compared to its bulky predecessor, so no doubt many will be interested to see what the competition will be offering....

“It was a well-prepared surprise,” says Mikhail Margelov, chairman of the federal Foreign Relations Committee and an ally of Putin’s. “These bases were symbols of the cold war. We wanted to remove those symbols.” That Oct. 17 meeting at the Defense Ministry did more than set the stage for another soulful Bush-Putin photo op. It was an indication of the Russian president’s growing confidence and latitude as a leader–and a measure of the power he has come to exercise over Russia’s once fractious (and often uncontrollable) government bureaucracy....

The flight from London to Philadelphia was forced to divert to Dublin after a cleaning fluid spillage in one of the lavatories temporarily knocked out the two members of the cabin crew and left several passengers with itchy skin and burning eyes, according to Airport Webcams. The product had been left behind after cleaning prior to flight AA729 departing London Heathrow, leaking into the main cabin and causing a host of problems for passengers and crew, including skin and eye irritation....

The price levelled off before markets closed, but with sustained chatter around AAL on Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets community, and speculation the stock could double in price in the coming days, those eager to make a fast return, as well as the hedge funds holding short positions on the stock, will be eager to see how the share price plays out today. The price of American Airlines’s stock rocketed from $15.40 to $17....

Who would’ve thought that Disney could have me wishing I was Japanese? Having seen “Pearl Harbor,” I hope Disney will cut a lot more scenes. (I’d especially like to see the romantic moments chopped, as well as those in which you’re supposed to take Alec Baldwin seriously. Those bits bombed worse than the Japanese did.) But maybe Disney is onto something. I mean, why should historical dramas offend our current-day allies just because we used to be bitter, hateful enemies?...

Clarkson was in high spirits, despite the fact that she was playing at a venue with only about 3,000 seats. She had to cancel her original summer tour because she wasn’t able to sell enough tickets at larger venues. Clarkson’s new album, of songs she wrote herself, was in the news earlier this year because RCA Records president Clive Davis had expressed reservations about it. Davis reportedly wanted Clarkson to use the kind of established songwriters that made her last album “Breakaway” a hit (it sold over 5 million copies)....

The woman, a former interpreter for the U.S. military, spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo from Kabul on Monday night. Identified only as Sara (which is not her real name), she told of her failed attempts to flee the country after the Taliban’s takeover. Now that the last U.S. troops have withdrawn, she said she’s lost hope she will be able to leave. “I just found out that they left, and I was just silent for a little while,” Sara told Cuomo....

Researchers estimated $140 billion in total medical debt in collections based on consumer credit reports. Americans living in lower-income communities and in the South, especially in states that did not expand Medicaid, owed the highest amount of debt. “It’s a nationwide problem. Medical debt has become the largest source of debt and collections than all other sources combined,” Wes Yin, PhD, associate professor of economics at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and the study’s co-author, tells Verywell....

In a speech from a bridge built in 1939 that was deemed a priority for repair in 2014, Biden spoke about the new plan in terms of how it could affect everyday Americans. “This isn’t esoteric, this isn’t some gigantic bill — it is, but it’s about what happens to ordinary people,” he said, according to The Associated Press. “Conversations around those kitchen tables that are both profound as they are ordinary: How do I cross the bridge in a snowstorm?...

A 16-year-old has been charged with two counts of aiding and abetting second-degree murder in the January death of 38-year-old Otis Elder, according to WCCO-TV. Locke’s cousin, 17-year-old Mekhi Speed, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly shooting and killing Elder. Earlier this month, court records revealed that the no-knock warrant that led to Locke’s death was requested by Minneapolis police because of the alleged “violent” history of the suspects tied to Elder’s death....

In February, Locke was fatally shot by police officers during the execution of a “no-knock” search warrant. On Wednesday, the Hennepin County District Attorney’s Office announced that it is not filing criminal charges against the officer who fatally shot Locke, saying that there is “insufficient admissible evidence to file criminal charges in this case.” In response, the district attorney’s office wrote, “Under Minnesota Statute section 609.066, the analysis must be evaluated from the perspective of an objectively reasonable officer in a similar situation, not the victim....

No. 2 Florida State (10-0) fooled you again. They teased you. They made you believe the nation’s longest win streak was over. They made you stay up until midnight again. Then the defending national champions won in your face — again. The Seminoles escaped Miami with a 30-26 win and kept that streak at 26 games and counting . Face it, America. Jameis Winston-led Florida State is the nation’s favorite television show right now....

American Airlines announced plans keep Boeing 737 Max planes off flight schedules until December. The 737 Max jets were removed from the airline’s schedule after a combined 346 people were killed in two separate crashes involving the aircraft. President Donald Trump ordered the Max 8 and Max 9 planes to be grounded back in May, while the Federal Aviation Administration worked to determine what led an Ethiopian Airlines flight to crash within five months of a Lion Air crash involving the newest 737 Max models....

“People used to write songs about T-Birds and Corvettes,” he said ominously. “Today, they write regulations.” But frankly, I don’t know what Bill Ford is talking about; I’ve been writing love songs to cars for years, albeit not the kind of songs that Bill Ford wants to hear. Instead of the tributes to muscle cars and huge sport utility vehicles that Ford seems to crave, my songs tend to be tributes to small cars (my song, “Little Brown Chevette” was an ode to Chevrolet’s ill-fated effort in the 1980s to take on Honda and Toyota) and the unbridled joy of fuel efficiency (“Fun, Fun, Fun (‘Cause Her Daddy Bought a Hyundai Excel)....

As he prepares for the Belmont Stakes on June 6, American Pharoah, who won the Preakness Stakes here at Pimlico on Saturday, will do the bulk of his training at Churchill Downs, where he won the Kentucky Derby on May 2 and has been based since shortly after his win in the Arkansas Derby on April 11. He arrived here the Wednesday prior to the Preakness and will have the same itinerary heading into the Belmont, trainer Bob Baffert said Sunday morning at Pimlico....

The 73-year-old man, whose name was not released by police, fell 361 feet during a hike on Jenner Mountain at the northern end of Konigsee Lake in Bavaria at around 2:30 p.m. Jenner Mountain, 6,148 feet tall at the summit, is part of the Göll massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps. Popular hiking trails there lead to the Hohes Brett and Scheibstein peaks, and to Berchtesgaden National Park in the south....

About one-third of Americans in 2018 said they were very happy in response to the same poll questions, but over the past two years, that number has been cut in half. The latest General Social Survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago drew on a half-century of data, including people’s responses to the coronavirus pandemic this year. The fewest amount of Americans reported being happy since polling began in 1972, and the 2020 survey reflects the first time that fewer than 29 percent of U....
