Which is dumb as hell even if you only look at it for selfish reasons. Most of the high technology manufactuing and design for the soviet union was there, they had shipyards, port access, minerals, and the knowledge to use them IN ADDITION to not wanting anything to do with the soviets anymore. It should have been a no-brainer to foster that relationship and protect them with more than a paper agreement.

No shit. That's what the west/NATO/the EU should have done from the start when Russia invaded back in 2014... and when they invaded again in 2022...

• Drive in a predictable manner, don't assume anyone else is doing that.
• Don't be nice by letting someone go out of turn, or waiving someone through when your are supposed to be going, or by forfeiting your right-of-way. It goes back to the first bullet point or driving predictably.
• zipper merging is a critical skill, learn it and use it.
• driving slowly is not safer if everyone around you is driving quickly but like you said, drive only as quickly as road conditions and your skill allows. When in doubt, go with the flow of the other cars around you unless you feel unsafe doing so.
• I am not sure of where you live or what side of the road you drive on but dear god, learn where the passing lane is and what the etiquette for it is.
• a bad driver never misses a turn is an expression for a reason. Don't be unpredictable, if you are gonna miss your turn/exit, just go around and catch a u-turn. Its not the end of the world.
• spend money on the parts that let you steer and stop. Both are safety critical, don't be a cheepskate on safety stuff.
• don't drive like my brother

The Expanse series is kind-of near scifi that goes cosmic.

The democrats should have let it get shut down the last time this came up. Stop letting the republicans keep running stuff into the ground like this. Fight back and make them own that it was the republicans who caused the shutdown.

The Dropkick Murphys put out two albums recently in his memory/spirit. Okemah Rising and This Machine Still Kills Fascists. They are both excellent. Their newest album is also awesome and a more classic DKM style.

I bought a hisense tv last year, you can run advtv to cripple its ability to phone home and disable stuff, then install projectivy launcher to bypass all the other bullshit.

Sony also was an option for that.

Who is this for? I get that there is a profit motive for this slop but are consumers actually getting anything out of it at all?

I am a big fan of my xperia 5v. Yes, its not current but its still a great size, great battery, removable storage, ip rated, and has a headphone jack. You can probably get them cheaper now too. I think I paid $500 a year ago for mine when I was shopping it vs the 10vi.

We don't want him here in Houston. How much did this fucking photo-op cost the state?

That picture would be funnier if it was a picture of Frank Beard, their drummer who has no beard.

Cast Iron is the way.
