Honestly a tunnel to northern Alaska would be an amazing trap for invading armies. There’s just miles of rugged mountains before you even find a road. Then you get to deal with Canada…

Board games. Catan junior, Loopin Chewie, Robot turtles, Tsuro, Abracada…What?, camel up.

There’s nothing quite like today. There’s things that are similar, but social media has really made things worse.

Populism is rising because things haven’t been great for a lot of people for a long time, and it’s too hard to ignore anymore. Globalism and free trade were massively oversold to the masses, it hurt wide swaths of people that have been ignored for decades. People that feel disenfranchised will vote for change regardless of the change proposed.

Social media has escalated everything as well. The echo chambers are enormous and essentially impossible to avoid. Many traditional institutions are also extremely weak now that would have forced more interaction between people with differing views and limited extremism. Social media also does a great job in conflating the size of various groups and beliefs, a few dozen people can make a community seem as large and impactful as a few thousand .

Healthy is relative. A handful of fruit is generally fine. Eating a few pounds of grapes in a day is probably a bad choice. There’s also a lot of people that conflate fruit with things that have fruit in them as about the same.

This is the massive gulf between level 3 and 4 systems, and why level 3 is potentially dangerous.

The rate depends on debit card use.

My debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.

The grand unified file.

Definitely avoid monster hunter if ambiguous hit boxes aren’t your thing.

Each vote is approximately equal in the house which is the proportional body.

It has proportional representation, it’s just really big portions.

This was close enough to what the og Netflix was and unsurprisingly it was incredibly popular.

There’s also about that many nuclear powered ships in the US Navy.

I like conspiracy theory that it’s to stay in the news cycle while Clark is hurt.

Had to be me, someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.

The price at all is ridiculous. Touring a rental is a sales action. Yes you have to pay for someone to administer a tour, but that’s a cost of doing business. It’s also weird because you generally don’t pay to tour homes for purchase.

It has been standardized, but like most standard there are competing ones.

The prequels have a solid narrative throughout, the sequels don’t even have a consistent narrative in a single movie.

It doesn’t matter if you pay or not, the government will take the house for non-payment of taxes and the lender gets fucked.

It’s more that the government is first in line to get paid. The Bank doesn’t care a ton about you going bankrupt, as they are second only to the government in getting their money back.
