    He said it pre trump. I'd be curious if he'd revise that stance.

    I've been on a bit of a gnocchi kick with pesto. My salmon intake is high. Steamed or fried in a pan, it's great. We picked up some fake meatballs and they're great. I'm eager to eat them again....

    The theme of all these meals is I can prepare them really fast. I swear my eating habits are dictated by what I can create in a short amount of time.

    Every now and then I dip back into this mmo project gorgon.

    I'm working on trying to get an xp parser working to track xp earned per hour. There are so many things to progress I want to get a sense of how to min max the process. And I get to work on some programming skills.

    On ebay I got a cross brand pencil. Great brand, normally too expensive for me but 2nd hand it rules.

    As someone who loves freeze dried fruit, if I had enough space to let it run quietly 24/7, I don't know if I could justify getting it. It's a neat hobby though!

    I somehow have the feeling it won't end with him asking to goto the judges chambers and explain he might be a potential witness.

    When I read about these things, I just wonder how the powers at be will just not let it happen.

    This will be viewed as an attack on the hard working Americans who supply the nation with energy, or an expensive do nothing venture, or something to be avoided since California is known for rolling blackouts, so why should the rest of the nation subsidize them?

    But the fact that we have a grid for the east coast, west coast and Texas is a major national security threat. It needs to be updated.

    Tin foil hat time: I think the concern is that an over reliance on technology from China might allow the CCP to trigger a remote 'kill switch' bricking the devices. It's very likely that he has this theory because we might have such a switch.

    They can't flat out ban them, so they just need to minimize the impact to cause no point.

    I don't think I'm the demographic for the film. I just can't help but think about those early 2000s CGI TV shows. Comedy movies don't exist anymore, but this looks like a strong comedy action film.

    I was not sure if I should have picked it up or not, because I never got really far in the first game.
    But I really like RF2. When things go your way, it feels great. An ice build with shatter is probably the easiest way to win.

    I kind of struggle to get into it. Any advice? I think I should start the game mode where I start with a squad.

    It's a great turned based puzzle game. You collect items and the more you collect the more monsters spawn and if they hit you before you hit them, you lose. Simple concept but the 'board' shape makes it very unique.

    When I lived in a city, I'd ask where the nearest grocery store was. For a house, I'd probably ask if the schools are bus or walking distance.
