And of course those in power (no matter if they are good or bad governments, in your opinion) want to stay in power. So of course they go out of their way to make things worse.
Last week, Indian government officials directed X to block the “Cockroach Janta Party” handle, citing a threat to national security, according to Indian media reports.
That just makes the point more clearer.

I am not convinced that solar/wind and storage solutions will win. Hybrid solutions, a combination of all of the above will probably will be with us for awhile though I do hope that a 'cleaner' method is rapidly adopted.

Guacamole lovers unite - 15,000 Pounds of Guacamole: Tancítaro, Michoacán Reclaims "Avocado Capital" Title with New Guinness World Record
Some of you may think of chips and guacamole, not me! My G-mom would make guacamole hotdogs for lunch, dinner, and breakfast with fresh avocado, onions, lemon juice, toasted hotdog sliced, on a lightly toasted tortilla. For gringos in the family, hotdog bun. As we got older we modified it for taste, maybe add fresh cut jalapenos or sauerkraut etc., some even put cheese on it (shaking my head in total disapproval!)
Here is recipe for you to follow, if interested - its a fancy one, skip the cheese please:

I don't know what that means or maybe to a place where I may get better informed.

I personally hate that statement, for I, and many of us were younger and here we are with all this stuff.

I wasn't around during the downfall of Rome, and I wouldn't want to either but parallels are eerie.

I wait a reasonable amount of time but if I see a chair has a 'hotel towel' only and no other personal artifact then out it goes. Some are a bit more aggressive like this fellow, but I do understand:
"It soon stopped when some lads were going down in the middle of the night and throwing all the towels into the pool."

For those of us who can say, "I was there when...{fill in your blank}...". That sounds silly to others who don't understand and maybe years from now you will. I heard that often enough, that am repeating it. I, understand.

That type of license (identification) is needed to travel inside the country, let alone external. Dead beats shouldn't get a free ride but having a state issue become a federal issue without due process I think should raise concerns.

It's funny and sad at the same time. As a British colleague told me once, nothing sets off a Brit more than anyone who skips a queue.
