Drilling in the North Sea is the equivalent of trying to pay off your mortgage by digging through the couch cushions. All the oil and gas out there is essentially gone and what little you can extract will be incredibly expensive and environmentally damaging.

I have Salvadorian in-laws that play a similar looking game called “loteria” which is similar to bingo and played at family gatherings. I assume most Central/South American countries have a similar game.

Confusing as hell that we have moons called Titan, Titania, and Triton. Really need to spice things up a bit

What I saw was that she was found with cuffs still on

I imagine because most Jewish Americans aren’t Zionists, as any who are would move to Israel.

The article is all cropland, not just corn. So it includes things like wheat production in the western great plains, fruit and vegetables in the Imperial and Central Valleys in California, apple farms in Washington and Michigan, oranges in Florida and California. But you are correct that most corn, soy, and alfalfa are grown for non-human consumption

Maybe you should look at who has been expanding the surveillance state for the past 25 years, because it’s essentially a bipartisan issue in Congress and all administration. Edit to expand on my point, but the Democrats continued sycophancy to giant corporations and refusal to enact policies to benefit actual people is why America has accelerated towards fascism for the past 30 years.

Only one country has threatened war against NATO in the past year, and the Swedish government didn’t list it

Yeah I doubt the Kurds are interested in fighting wars the US anymore since they have been burned every time. I believe that Kurdish armament this month is purely defensive since they have no idea how this is all gonna play out.

Because the government believes in the war. That’s why they have made any criticism of Israel illegal. Starmer is literally just a return to Blairism which is why Labour is so unpopular now.

I want to know where the wookies names come from. What’s the etymology behind Chewbacca? Because it’s certainly not coming from anything the wookies are able to say.

None of the Gulf states are able to drill for oil, and even if they could they wouldn’t be able to ship it out. Look at a map of where all the middle east oil fields are

The US is out of money, industrial capacity is decimated, and the only viable tax base is the billionaire class who have made it clear they have no intention of paying. IDK how the US will be able to keep up this pace into next month.

I think the current understanding is that Iran is leading with all their cheap missiles since American and Israeli defenses will only last a few weeks of sustained attacks. The calculus works out in Iran’s favor to slowly introduce their more sophisticated arms as US/Israeli defenses slowly get overwhelmed.

Woah, I can’t believe that the party the jumped head first into Iraq with the US turned out to be complete shit the next time they had power

I read it as melting snow, not just getting it off the drive way. But just blasting the snow from your driveway onto to street won’t be a ton of help either since that still needs to get plowed.

There are thousands of parasitic wasp species. Just because they aren’t dicks to us doesn’t mean they aren’t dicks to us.

It actually doesn’t remove the snow, which I think makes it a PERFECT analogy since you’ve wasted a shit ton of energy on the flashy,expensive, idea instead of just doing what actually works.

I work at a print shop and all our printer drivers require PDFs, so use those if you want something printed please. We can convert as need be, but PDF is always preferred.

University of Toledo and Walsh University have already said they would accept transfers and try to match financial aid packages. The school should have announced this last semester though to give students enough time to plan accordingly.
