bad weather?
That’s what she said.
It’s been a decade since Russia started the war in Europe. Those corps have had plenty of time to evacuate.
you can see the loud
I wonder if this is the reason Russia is suddenly so interested in getting their PoW’s back that were captured in Kursk? Were those the fortunate sons of the politically well-connected? Could there be a serious psychological threat if the political elite learn just how much better life could be if they got rid of Putin?
who are, ironically, not communist
Not really. Its trees from a time before micro organisms evolved the ability to eat dead trees. These days, the solar energy collected by trees will get used to power the metabolisms of fungi before those trees can get buried and eventually become new coal & petroleum.
I suppose an impact from a sufficiently large asteroid could turn the entire crust of the planet into magma, sterilizing it and therefore opening the possibility that new oil might be created some day.
I wish the Democrats would lay off the gun control.
Regarding taxes, both parties fail in different ways. Democratic tax policy fails at the Federal level - low/zero taxes at the Federal level makes sense because the Federal government hasn’t needed to collect taxes since establishing the Federal Reserve banking system and moving off the gold standard. Republican tax policy fails at the State level - low taxes at the State level makes less sense, because the states actually need the money to pay for programs that market forces do not provide for.
Neither party is doing enough to make our military industry more efficient, less organizationally top heavy, and less corrupt. Spending resources on war is bad, but losing a war to tyrants like China or Russia would be worse. I want USA to have more weapons for less money.
Both parties fail when it comes to welfare programs. Republicans would implement sadistic and self-destructive abolition of all safety nets. Democrats craft welfare programs that pull the rug out from under people as soon as they start down the road toward financial stability, trapping people in poverty by removing the safety net too soon. For example, Medicaid is the only good healthcare available in this backwards nation, but you need to stay poor to get it - earn too much money and you’ll end up poorer than when you started.
Or simply working out of troll farms in China or Russia while being bankrolled by Republicans in USA. Same M.O.

If you’re baking something that needs exact amounts of certain ingredients, then yeah, a scale is easier. A scale is more accurate, but its slower than using a measured scoop for recipes that don’t require more precision than the scoop provides.
You don’t actually need the full set. If all you have is 1 tablespoon and 1 cup, it will usually be OK to just eyeball the fractions.
Its not any random spoon or cup. We all have measuring devices of standardized volumes.
for example:

The things people drink out of are many different sizes of course, but when the word “cup” is used in the context of a measure of volume, then yes, they’re called “measuring cups”, and the volume is standardized.
Same thing with teaspoons and tablespoons. They’re not just any random spoon - when talking about measurements, they have a standardized volume and you need to use a cheap and ubiquitous measuring device if you want to follow a recipe precisely.
Most people in USA do not have a scale in their kitchen, but we do have a measuring cup and a set of measuring spoons.
heroin dealers too, aka the pharmaceutical industry
Yeah, there’s no good way to shut down the production of alcohol. All you need to make it is water, air (wild, airborne yeast), and food (sugar) and if you don’t have one of those things then you have bigger problems than prohibition laws.
“Mr. Deez-Nuts was my father’s name. Please, call me Bofa.”
corporate sponsors like “the other guy is bad” more than “here’s the plan to get the working class a bigger slice of the pie”
My 2024 bingo card didn’t have a major corporation litigating in favor of AI rights in order to avoid liability, but I’m not disappointed to see it.
Apparently they’re pushing south from Belgorod rather than directly trying to deal with the expanding area of Ukrainian control south of Kursk.
