    I only buy the occasional couple of eggs for making custards. I don't really get the hype.

    I’d say we should copy MAGA. Party-within-a-party is the approach to use. I want to see the few good Democrats run under a new name but still officially keep their party.

    TBH as someone that played Skyrim first I would be happy if they mostly copied Skyrim’s systems into Oblivion.

    I see the ultimate end result as China out-soft-powering America. Jury’s still out on whether Russia collapses under the weight of their war with Ukraine. It’s not too late for Europe to screw them.

    I watched your video and then rewatched much of the original content nuke (just in the background while working).

    The video you linked is mostly about the general white-washing of Israel's behavior but it does talk a bit about Ethan's video. I think it's correct of them to highlight Ethan is biased and omits facts that he could have engaged with while still pointing out Hasan's issues. Ethan does clearly state that he considers Israel's occupation of the West Bank a genocide, although I don't believe he does the same for the destruction of Gaza. However, given that he is able to say one of those two is a genocide I think he would or could say the same for Gaza. From what I see this makes him more ethically aligned than the Jewish people of Israel. I believe we need to engage with whatever gradient exists and move people like Ethan to be more critical of Israel's government.

    I still think that the people roasted in the content nuke aren't good role models. Even if it's your job to tell people about the Gazan genocide you don't need to laugh along with terrorist propaganda. Hasan and his moderator that Ethan focuses on both seem like insufferable people even though they are on the side of the oppressed.

    You’re right. It’s surprising I’d never heard of him as described as more than Samoan.

    Should be a perfectly okay movie. I was disappointed that Bubbles wasn’t played by a larger actor. He’s overused, and not black, but The Rock would have been a better fit.

    They're only in warm regions now. I suppose most of their efforts right now are on handling snow and ice.

    I think the real solution here is computer vision. They already have internal cameras. If they had infrared it shouldn’t be hard to detect warm liquid left behind.

    They don’t. I’ve gotten into a Waymo before that had vomit inside. I had to call support to let them know. They gave me a $40 ride credit.

    I travel very light. I tried Frontier for the first time a couple of weeks ago and did fine with my smaller backpack. Ended up being $38 round trip SFO to PSP and I even got exit row seating one way and window with an empty to my left the other. No frills but certainly the best deal I’ve had.

    At this point it sounds like none of the sodium cyanide is known to have leaked? It’s just a jet fuel leak so far.

    I personally stick to the definition I learned in school. I think we need to make major changes, and giving capitalism a definition that demonizes it makes it harder to implement those changes. This way we can talk about socialism without it being an opposition to capitalism. It’s rather an evolution. We simply move from reinvestment into enterprise by small groups of owners to reinvestment from the workers themselves.
