The phrase “IRQ in use” is still enough to give me nightmares.

Israel never wanted a negotiated ceasefire because they’re the ones doing all the firing. Has Gaza shot back in the last 18 months?

It’s just not the same if a child slave didn’t suffer for it. Or something.

Given all the horrific history of conflict diamonds, etc, why would anyone not want a lab made stone at this point?

Driving them out of life and into death, as seems to be the stated policy goal of the Netanyahtzees.

So if you Google for “democracy” you go to jail?

That’s actually an interesting point. And you’re right, the effects of their HK policy will surely be to remove any doubt in Taiwanese minds that they need to defend their island with force.

I mean.. I disagree? I think it looks like a retro-futuristic Mini Cooper or something. To each their own.

Any Britons care to opine as to whether this is an important enough issue to UK voters as to be able election winning message? I don’t necessarily just mean general opinion as I expect many people are increasingly critical of Israel, but rather, is the ongoing war top of mind enough to win votes over inward-facing issues/campaigns? What is public sentiment like and how passionate is it?

I have a Renault 5, was one of the first owners of the new EV model! It’s a fantastic car, but interestingly, the whole interior material is.. denim! Seats, trim, everything. Even the inside of the roof! And it’s made out of recycled blue jeans. How cool is that?

Sounds like the Netanyahtzees are already drooling over the prospect of more lebensraum.

Apparently this is the name of a construction/engineering firm here in Lisbon Portugal. Amusing coincidence

Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?

 

Do you like old fashioneds, and wine? This is the drink for you! I can't remember now where I got the idea, but I've been making them forever.


2-3 shots Bourbon whiskey (personal favourite: Jefferson's Reserve, the gentle alcohol notes but strong wood flavours blend gracefully into the wine notes!)

1 - 1.5 shots' worth of tawny port (don't need anything too good here but a basic 10 year Graham's or similar will do)

1 teaspoon simple syrup (take it easy on this since the Port itself will impart sweetness!)

1 big ass ice cube

1 maraschino cherry

 

I'm a fan of custom and unique twists on cocktails; and if you're reading this, hopefully you are too! Let's move beyond the typical basic stuff and discuss more interesting recipes that have a special place in your heart, particularly if you've concocted them yourself, or put a twist on them.
