Except she does stop, for 3.5 years at a time, only to crawl back out from under her rock to get some attention in her brief period of pseudo-relevance as a potential spoiler. Away with her.

Thanks for the rec! I also love that you presume that there will be a next time, cuz, uh, that’s accurate. These little boxes are powerhouses, I probably want one for a TV set-top box now that all the TV boxes (Roku, Amazon Fire, even Android TV and soon Apple TV) are riddled with ads.

Beelink and Minisforum are legit

I wish I knew a lot of this when I first started shopping for a mini PC. I ended up with a Beelink model that I’m quite happy with, but it seems almost luck that I didn’t pick another one, and I would have liked a “reputable brand” search function.

Kinda, there was a progression to travel to different planets, etc. I mostly played it with friends and messed around, so I didn’t pursue it very far.

I generally agree. At this point, I can’t tell if Stein is that stupid or not, but she’s still be used to undermine representative democracy. A candidate can make good points and still be a tool of fascism.

Sounds like the beginning of a supervillain origin story.

I don’t have much sympathy for the McMansions, but there are huge sections of Pacific Coast rail line threatened by coastal erosion, and it sure would be nice to get some nice high-speed rail along there.

Bob Hoskins, though I admit, my decision is partly colored by his many other awesome roles.

It is fairly short, but at $25USD, it was priced reasonably enough that I didn’t feel cheated. And frankly, I don’t have time for very long games, I really can only manage short games, so it works out well for me.

Little Kitty Big City, which is some great, silly fun.

The comment on that website is chef’s kiss:

“Instead of a Dark Lord you shall have a Queen!”

This was my interpretation as well.

I like it fine, and I bet you could incorporate those design elements into a lot of cool merch, which is a nice rule-of-thumb for useful flags.

If true, this is the most stereotypical Chinese company move ever.

Congrats to every news outlet that covered this ambush hearing breathlessly, you’ve done exactly what House Republicans wanted you to do. The thin façade of pearl-clutching over anti-semitism, from a caucus that courts neo-Nazis, was utterly transparent. But they wanted to attack elite universities, and every news outlet gave them a megaphone and context-free coverage.

Journalists still haven’t learned how to cover an extremist party that has no policy agenda and is only interested in culture wars and scoring political points.

Even where US military aid is brand-new material, the American military contractors are the ones profiting from it, spurring the American economy. It’s almost more an economic shot in the arm than it is international aid.

La Zona en Reclamación ain’t gonna save him, Maduro and his regime are already doomed. The question has been, how many people will he make suffer to cover up the failed policies of Chavismo?
