I mean, the author probably has realistic concerns about their own safety concerning the Israeli public’s opinion on the war and their government’s attitude towards journalists.

Absurd! The Dikdik party is the only sensible solution to the social and economic malaise our people face every day.

Bah, some folks just lurk for a bit first. Get a feel for the vibe of a place and proceed accordingly.

And some just jump right in. Neither is wrong or right, just different.

Does the foreign vacuum work better? Is it more compact? Are the technologies it is built on protected by IP law? If it’s a cheap junk crescent wrench that I’ll use once because I need it only once, I’d rather not pay double for quality.

Do they? As much as we like to play it quiet, the US exports a lot of food globally- China gets some $17b worth. Those tend to be perishable, so any hot war would have to be over quickly for China to come outahead, and any protracted war would see them need a new breadbasket eother domestic (reducing the industrial/military work pool), or international (which comes with the same risks they have now over US ties).

It sounds like Mr. Carville is happy enough ruling over a burnt-out husk, so long as he doesn’t have to do anything about it.

Is this to mean that state gov’ts and services will have to pick up the slack on nat’l parks, or is there no mixing of the two labor pools?

What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?

Besides sourcing, I guess.

Ehh, for a bit Virginia tried enforcing them with aircraft.

It stopped because it was expensive, not because it was too authoritarian.

Woah, you can trust big corps!

But only to fuck you over.

What a sensible, decimal system!

Don’t strain your eyes there, Legolas. That day is yet far off.

Had to look up Chisinau, but it looks nowhere near the Transnistria region that has been … contentious. Was the move difficult regarding personal goods/customs/etc?

Voyager does, for one. I think Connect does as well.

Sorry, MSM? I can’t read this as anything other than mainstream media.

I heard it was a tragic stroke. An act of God if ever there was one.

Those prices are absolutely bonkers if that’s JPY (¥). For reference, $1 ~ ¥150.

Why combine extant states? Just pull a colonial Europe and draw a whole new map over it! Nuts to “natural boundaries” or “cultural similarities”, everyone on the east coast from DC to King’s Bay is now part of the State of Midlantic.

What behaviour was this colleague exhibiting that made you forget to never put anything unofficial in writing?
