Dwarf Fortress: How to Remove Floors and Walls Dwarf Fortress players that have a wall or floor that is in need of removal should begin by selecting the digging order icon in the bar at the bottom of the screen. For full clarity, this icon looks like a pickaxe, and clicking it (or pressing “m”) will cause a number of options to appear above the aforementioned bar. One of those options has the appearance of a set of stairs with a red strike through it, and indeed it is the key to removing floors, walls, and other constructed tiles....

The Bianconeri have won four of their last five games in all competitions, but they are three points off the pace at the top of Serie A with unbeaten Napoli leading the way. Juventus 11/1 to beat Benevento 1-0 Star defender Alex Sandro started only two of the champions’ five league matches in October, while Dybala - outstanding in the opening weeks of the campaign - has scored only once in all competitions since hitting a brace in September’s Turin derby....

Move over, rich guys. The kid bagging your groceries is now driving your wheels of fortune. It’s not just Mercedes with its hatchback (the only Benz to come with cloth upholstery).

Jaguar, known for selling cars with six-figure stickers, recently introduced the $29,950 X-Type to go up against low-priced offerings from BMW and Lexus....

The Blue Devils outrebounded the Seminoles 46-24, with 26 of their boards coming on the offensive end in the 78-56 win. A high number like that is indicative of not shooting well; Duke did not, shooting 31 percent for the game, but aggression in going to the glass cured the shooting woes—and gave Krzyzewski his 900th win at the school. "That's a lot of wins," Krzyzewski said. "I thank Duke for keeping me....

Freshman guard Coby White heated up in the second half to change a close game into a 15-point Tar Heel lead, but it was the continued defensive presence of Williams that ultimately propelled No. 3 UNC (26-5) to victory. A Williams block on an RJ Barrett 3-point attempt — which would have cut UNC’s lead to two with 56 seconds left — stemmed the tide of a Blue Devil comeback....

Pittsburgh’s string of terrible luck has continued with the team’s announcement Wednesday that Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung (also known as a pulmonary embolus or PE), and is out for a minimum of six months. Monday’s vague “chest discomfort” was the warning sign that led to the diagnosis, and the treatment will involve at least six months of blood thinners — something that precludes any involvement in contact sports....

Over 120 goalless minutes in Salvador, Louis van Gaal’s team struck the post or crossbar on three occasions and the Manchester United-bound manager unleashed an unexpected secret weapon from the bench during the dying seconds of extra time. Krul, who has an unremarkable penalty record at Newcastle United, came on for Jasper Cillessen to save Costa Rica’s second and last penalties from Celso Borges and Michael Umana. Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt were the Netherlands’ flawless foursome....

The notable Premier League free agents The Premier League confirmed on Friday that the striker has been released by Manchester United, having included him on their list of free transfers this summer.

The resolution, adopted by the U.N. last Thursday, requested that High Commissioner Michele Bachelet prepare a comprehensive report on the human rights situation in the Philippines, citing concerns over Duterte’s brutal war on drugs. Duterte is accused of overseeing thousands of extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, and arbitrary arrests and detention under his anti-drugs crackdown. He has also used incendiary rhetoric against his critics, the media, and political opponents. “I will only face, be tried or face a trial in a Philippine court, presided by a Filipino judge, [and] prosecuted by a Filipino....

Now Gearbox Software finally got it out but unfortunately for a lot of gamers, the company behind it and even their PR company, Duke Nukem Forever certainly did not live up to expectations. We’re still working away on Game Rant’s Duke Nukem Forever review but it’s safe to say it’s not a great game. Reviews across the board are slamming it for a variety of reasons and it’s not creating a good situation for publisher 2K Games....

RELATED: Dungeons & Dragons: Tips For Writing Your Own Campaign Goblins have evolved since those early days and now have their own library of lore in the D&D universe. Like so many other things in everyone’s favorite TTRPG, Goblins were inspired by creatures found in the works of JRR Tolkien, but modern Goblins in D&D don’t have much in common with their roots. They aren’t related to Orcs at all, for one thing, and are instead part of a race known as “goblinoids....
