No pledge. And “God bless America” should be dropped in favor of “Yippie-Ki-Yay, motherfucker”.

I don’t really like America’s Test Kitchen, but I believe anything Lan Lam says.

Shit, even in America we know FIFA is corrupt.

Trump should learn the history of the Praetorian guard before requesting one.

It’s ironic that a pair of soldiers who are expected to go into the most dangerous situations and are prepared to mitigate those risks as far as possible would get taken out by an OSHA violation.

I notice that military and police are often vexed by threats that can’t be solved by shooting it.

This would be a lot funnier if SA wasn’t so common among the militaries of the world.

Some malicious USB drives have a capacitor that will discharge and fry your whole system. Unless you have an air-gap system that you don’t care about, unknown USB drives should be disposed of.

Oh, and all this and more can be accomplished with a sneaky charging cable too. So you have to dial in your level of paranoia to suit your situation. The person most likely to tamper with your computer is a spouse. Search and chat histories as well as GPS devices are becoming common in divorce cases.

This is theater. Kaliningrad has a land border with Lithuania, but not with Russia. Invading from there would require a buildup that would be obvious and create logistics that would be insane. If Russia moves tanks to Kaliningrad, it’ll be through Lithuania.

A friend once told me that the South could never have won due to the industrial superiority of the North. I said that sounds like wisdom in English, but it’s a joke in Vietnamese.

Because Arabic and Jewish culture value the uniqueness and singularity of God, while the Pagan cultures of Greece and Rome (where Western Christianity developed) valued multiple persons in divinity with responsibilities over different aspects of life.

When Christians were oppressed by Rome, their crime was not worshiping Jesus. But rather their refusal to participate in ritual or pay respects to the other official State gods.

I can’t help but notice you didn’t say anything about how your potential new partner might feel about this. Perhaps you didn’t think it was relevant, but that’s a huge blind spot if you haven’t considered it.

Calling the war for independence a revolution is an insult to that word. Revolution happened in Hatti, France, and Russia. What happened in America was just an “under new management”, one George for another.

Even the leader of Shin Bet called these people terrorists.

People watching Bat21 in the future are going to be so confused.

Yea, Communism is famous for being unable to compete in would class athletics. : /

I get the larger point, it’s just that this metaphor doesn’t quite support it.

Don’t tell his wife.

This is bad. Lane’s argument is that freemium software is tore up from the floor up. You’d get the impression reading this summery that he was just bitching about one program his Boy Scout troop used.

So, you can pay for Apple TV+, just like you always could, now through another app. Brilliant.

Is this the one where he defends pedophilia or where he bullies trans athletes? Maybe he’s opining on how people with Down Syndrome have lives that aren’t worth living, or that sexually harassed women should stop whining? Perhaps it’s his opinions on how drunk women earn their rape.
