I hate the accuracy of your analysis because you are 100% right that so much of that era was forgotten (except by those who lived it and still hold onto those details). Enron had absolutely turned Texas into scrutiny central and someone in Bush’s administration didn’t like their friends going to jail for being corrupt. The Bush family had also used their connections to Saud to enrich them and their friends during the 90s without knowing that they were being used. 9/11 is the day Bush realizes it and was completely unable to do anything about it because of hat direct family connection. So instead America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq as a distraction.

The entire foreign policy of right wingers is cleaning up the personal history of the grifters who run the party.

Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by eating berries (www.theguardian.com)

As McClish told it, the 34-year-old outdoors enthusiast from Boulder Creek, California, lost his bearings after beginning his hike the morning of 11 June. He had not informed anyone else of his plans, so it would not be until the afternoon of Thursday, 20 June, that the unkempt-looking hiker was found at the bottom of a remote...

He’s enthusiastic, not experienced, about the outdoors. He told no one, had no bearing or equipment, and got lucky that he was found. The article was being gracious about his abilities to be outside - and he survived a week and a half with nothing so the article can’t say he’s bad at it.

Capitalist oligarchs want a system based on having money to pay for education, health care, childcare, etc. Each part of our lives will have a price tag and only the rich will be free to live as they want - the rest of us are tied to their decisions and will accept the scraps given to us.

Part of their plan is to dismantle the education system and make everyone too stupid to know how we lived and how much we are being abused.

State judge upholds most fines against group seeking repeal of Alaska ranked choice voting - Chilkat Valley News (www.chilkatvalleynews.com)

An Anchorage Superior Court judge has ruled that opponents of Alaska’s ranked choice election system violated state campaign finance laws in their effort to gather signatures for a repeal ballot measure....

Alaska also has a form of universal benefit income (UBI) from oil industry payments to Alaskan residents. The payouts arent enough to actually live on but it’s regular free money for a population that can actually use it.

The true horror is that this is some Greek smut. We need good, clean Christian nudity for our money.

ChicoSuave ,

That the obvious part. At this point Netflix is looking at drastic transmission costs in the coming decade. Video is obviously taxing and require huge amounts of data but Atmos is no slouch either.The gamble, is in how customers receive the news and how it impacts playback.

Audio sync issues, subtitle playback, artifacting on anything over 1080p will all cause customers dissatisfaction. Using a new way to save data is a great idea, almost literally a no brainer, but does a technical solution always work out of the gate?

ChicoSuave ,

It’s pretty clearly MATH! The Universal matrix, it’s circular.

ChicoSuave ,

Using ads to make fun of politicians is a great fucking thing and we need to do more to get the popular voice in front of the discussion.

ChicoSuave ,

A side effect of so many streaming channels is that they are all feeling the pressure to keep up with the catalog depth of Netflix and Disney/Hulu. This results in lots of mediocre content being produced to create the illusion of lots of stuff to watch. But no one wants to watch it or hasn’t heard of it to build mind hype for it. All that content is wasted money to prop up a failing service that is bleeding every contender dry. There will be more like Paramount. Consolidation is coming.

ChicoSuave ,

No one challenged the law makers to prove that they were right. They are lying because they can get away with it - no one in any position of power asked or was asked which foundational document was forged by forefathers from Christian (or any religion) doctrine.

Conservatives really hate all other people, even the people they should trust.

Clouds will form over the spot as a warm wind blows in from the southeast. Flecks of rain will fall and a slow rumble will build from below as the ground shakes and a hole appears from the fallen ground. A representative of each will be sent: a sheriff, an artist, a socially conscious libertarian, and a racist.

They will each give you one gift and then the sheriff arrests you and takes you to be judged by the racists. The others watch on in quiet disapproval, to the abortion or the arrest it isn’t clear. The racist then says “As foretold, the skies open and you’re on trial in another state.”

Brown sauce? Please, that’s only a thing in Britain. The only sauce which defies national borders and cultures is mustard .

Ketchup is a western sauce. Mayo is an JP/K sauce. Hot sauce isn’t even mentioned but is more widespread than brown sauce.

ChicoSuave ,

Oh, so true. I didn’t want to assume any Continental tastes because it is so varied, but ketchup and mayo are absolutely a European sauce. Thanks for the reminder.

Since the game is still in early access, will this be a systemic change or some ad hoc justice to create headlines?

Ah, the yearly ritual continues. Bethesda makes a game that needs bug fixing, let’s the players fix it with mods, then B tries getting players to pay for the mods in the hopes they can finally charge money for mods that are needed to fix the game.

Classic Todd. Can’t wait until he quits making games. Bethesda might actually use a new game engine besides the Creation Engine.

GN is so good I watch the ads on their channel.

Reactionary policies are always a bad attempt at solving the problem and it’s hard for many folks to see that, much less deeply understand it enough to guide their decisions. People see something they don’t and they want it gone, not to study it to banish it.

It’s part of the appeal for right wing parties. Authoritarians use force to squash the problem and it feels good to see toxic equivalency meted out to those who hurt us. The goal isn’t to stop crime from happening, it’s to cause crime to know what it is up against and that will stop most petty crime. But organized crime will rise up and become a second government to those who wanted strength over study, brawn over brains.

Let them live in their cage. They made it, let them enjoy the fruits of their labor.

ChicoSuave ,

Charlie Kirk hates homosexuals so much that the Right Wing Inversion Principle means he must be gay too. He started a movement that acts like a support group to help keep him scared and in the closet.

In Tech, an IPO means the business is market ready to be sold off in pieces, ie stocks. The people who buy the product don’t care what it does, they use the product maker as a vehicle to more growth and profit. Typically that means the people who now own the business make poor choices about cost cutting, like off shoring support and removing unuseful documentation while removing people with critical tribal knowledge about processes. Each step the new owner takes will be to make the business more profitable, and in the world of business, the only thing they care about are the numbers and not the environment or people that created those numbers.

Don’t Call It an ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store: As Asian groceries like H Mart, Patel Brothers and 99 Ranch expand, they are reshaping American eating habits, and the American grocery market (www.nytimes.com)

Last year, Americans bought half a billion packets of Shin Ramyun, the spicy, beefy Korean instant noodle. The bold red-and-black packaging feels inescapable: It’s a staple of college dorm rooms, bodegas, middle-of-the-country Walmarts and viral TikTok videos....

ChicoSuave ,

No, please keep calling it Asian grocery store! The distinction helps me and others like me know that the store will have cultural or regional specialties that can’t be found in white people stores.

It’s also why La Superior is also a thing for Hispanic specialties. I like having to go to Seafood City for veg and La Superior for spices because their buyers know what makes their selection big unique and a good value.

Please don’t bleach and iron the social fabric to remove everything that is “different”. Homogeny destroys history.

ChicoSuave ,

Seafood City is a chain. I used to go to 99 Ranch exclusively but Seafood City has ube and fresh lychee, so it’s become a regular stop.

He gets away with it, which is why he’s doing it. Once other countries close their borders to Russia, the blood fued to retake Crimea will become very real to Russians.

Nah, keep it Hebrew and really make them question their support for Israel. If talking about Israel is a controversial subject, make them explicitly say Hebrew studies isn’t allowed.

TST is fun to rile up the thumpers but having a real geopolitical hot potato land like a bomb in Terra Haute would be amazing. They aren’t ready for so much spice.

ChicoSuave ,

No, the system that maintains these unsustainable standards isn’t the problem. It’s the people who don’t fit into the mold. We need to change people to preserve the system!

Washington man arrested after fatally shooting teen who had BB gun (www.usatoday.com)

Myers, who says he’s a licensed security guard, was sitting in his car Wednesday to conduct “overwatch” while his son trains because “he has seen numerous crimes occur” in the parking lot, according to the probable cause statement....

ChicoSuave ,

Wow, the article even has a section detailing why the boys were there with BB guns:

The two surviving teens told police that they were at the store to return or exchange Hazrat Ali Rohani’s BB gun because he was having some issues with it, according to the police report. One of them also said that he had his own BB gun with him and brought it along so employees could check out a “magazine issue” he was having.

Myers straight up murdered the kid. Fortunately the article also points out he was arrested and the video evidence shows clear 2nd degree manslaughter, so he’s going to jail, losing his guns, and most likely won’t watch his kid grow up. His kid has a chance to grow up without a bad influence in his life now, so that’s good.

100 million a year for someone who has hundreds of billions. Yeah, he probably doesn’t mind.

Korean food usually looks amazing and constantly smells delicious but eating it isn’t as satisfying. I’ve had the elote and potato corndogs. Potato was super awkward to eat since it’s the width of an upper arm but as short as a hand. Felt like I was trying to pelican a corn cob.

Elote was tasty but just the batter. The dog itself was bland and the batter had pulled away from the dog and fried for too long to get that gold color. The inside was super heated hot dog water and salt.

And the sticks they use are like closet rods. The result is a poorly built fantasy that looks good enough to buy and try but it’s not good enough to be a repeat customer.

Comparing the Civs steals the joy they bring for their various reasons.

  • Civ 1 was unlike anything else and so legendary it created the 4X genre.
  • Civ 2 had the best espionage until an expansion for 4. Civ2 also defined the scope for all future Civs.
  • Civ 3 was fine. Resources were a good addition and tile quirks, like Floodplains on top of another base tile like desert, helped bring tons strategy and gave the ability to grow Tall.
  • Civ 4 was probably peak Civ for many people, especially including DLCs.
  • Civ 5 removed unit stacking and made happiness a resource.
  • Civ 6 emphasized the city development aspect and brought back the climate stuff from 2, 3, and 4.

They are all good but they are not collectively suitable for every person. Civ6 is amazing but it took me literally 30 hours to finally have it click. I also have 550 hours in Civ 6 and over 1200 in Civ 5. CiV is also a high water mark but it overshadows the real value and fun in 6.

It’s a shame most folks will ignore us and say 6 was bad for being too game like.

How is Valve pumping up the concurrent player count not a bigger news story? That is like the metric for calculating popularity of a game and Valve is openly fudging the numbers without anyone caring. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
