It’s a whole different caliber of right wingers. Some of them not even retards, which makes them much more dangerous, but more predictable. The only thing so far that has been positive for trump is how monumentally stupid he is an how lazy he is, which prevents him from implementing a coordinated plan, it’s just random destruction here and there.

Which won’t kill (hundreds of) thousands of people, like the covid policy, or usaid, or epa, or CDC shutdowns. It won’t abduct people on the street. It won’t ban certain religions from entering the country. It won’t sell pardons, or shit coins, or shares in a scam to directly benefit the president. It won’t crash the economy. It won’t put kids in cages. It won’t put state secrets in bathrooms, sell classified info to Russia and won’t rape anyone.

This wouldn’t make it to the top 10 stupid ideas of any week across the pond. Over there you need ID to buy bread and groceries are a hoax (according to the president).

Same way. But there’s a difference between proposing a VPN ban and nuking a hurricane.

Well, you collectively elected Trump for president.

Twice.

Guys, guys! This dude is coming from the right, get him!

I grew up with real ones but became lazy. Plus I lived for a long time in a 22m2 studio and no real tree would fit so we bought a skinny artifical one. A realistic one with some asymmetric branches and high quality stiff needles.

Still going strong after 10+ years and moving twice, will probably last another decade.

You should try buying a carp!

Only if you’re not careful

They are not too big to fail for Europe. The EU has fined msft, Google, meta and others. Apple even changed their flagship product to comply.

Why ban them when you can tax them and fine them if they don’t comply? Sure, we need to be vigilant of lobbying, but there are no current alternatives to most American tech giants.

Countries have a veto power for most important decisions, precisely to avoid what you described, and for many other things you need a qualified mayority (something like 80% of countries and 80% of population, 9r something like that).

It’s more like “you like communism? Look at every single time it has been attempted (on a scale bigger than a village)”.

Not the only thing, oligarchs from the east are also doing their part, and to be honest, oligarchs from within too.

Stainless is just a piece of metal. Indestructible. No rules. Requires some skill to avoid food sticking, but it is doable. You can cook anything, anyhow and clean it however you want.

Non-stick is… well, non-stick, but there’s a ton on rules. No metal, no dishwasher, no stacking, … However they are really non-stick, no skill required.

Cast iron is like a middle ground. You cannot ruin the pan, but you can easily ruin the coating: no wine, no tomato, no lemon, no soap, no dishwasher, etc. And the non-stick effect is weaker than Teflon or ceramic, it still requires skill to use.

As a hobby cook I have never gotten into cast iron, I use 90% stainless steel and 10% non stick (mainly for pancakes) and for my wife who doesn’t want to fiddle with temperatures with stainless.

That will fetch many mewgabytes.

That’s the only problem I had with it.

That it isn’t a statistic.

Never argued it isn’t bullshit…

Yeah, the problem with empires is they can only destroy themselves, usually. Which they are on a tremendous path of doing.

IQ isn’t a statistic.
