I want to believe that things can be changed electorally, but I know that it wouldn’t come from anyone near power currently. Mamdani is the greatest hope right now, but he’s ultimately going to be in an ivory tower. He’s also been very clear that he’s being elected to run the ivory tower of America, so I’m not downplaying neither the significance or his awareness of the role.

There’s no argument that Republicans have found a number of large exploits in the system that they are currently manipulating to “win” the US federal government. Whether or not such a system is theoretically capable of being repaired is up for debate, but it sure as hell isn’t going to happen at the hands of fucking Democrats.

That was one whopper of a reformation!

“pick a fucking struggle” Is now my favorite thing

You’re correct, the ICC’s jurisdiction has never been recognized by the US, or a bunch of other countries for that matter. They could still prosecute individuals and convict them, but the US wouldn’t hand them over, and it’s not likely that anyone would attempt to come get them.

There is a pretty large number of ICC fugatives from all over the world, notably Russian and Israeli officials. Afaik, France and the UK are the only two UN members with veto power that recognize the ICC’s official jurisdiction.

“Baby has a phone in its pocket of this I am sure”

You could conversely say it’s really dialed

Our newer car senses when I put my phone on the passenger seat, then yells at me incessantly.

None of these demands are remotely acceptable to European leaders, either. Donbas is the part the headlines focus on, but the security guarantees sought by Russia are more egregious, given they would leave Ukraine totally defenseless.

We have MAC addresses for all of our devices. Surely that should be sufficient!

I heard about this on the “If Books Could Kill” podcast. Pretty hilarious stuff.

Edit: Actually, I think it was Maintenance Phase. I listen to anything Michael Hobbes does.

🤷 No idea. Sounds like you should do a research piece about it!

Afaik, it’s traditional to Central American (and maybe South American?) cuisine, but I don’t know any science-y aspects to it’s use. You make salsas and guac directly in it, and I can say they do hit different, but I can’t say exactly why.

Interesting thanks for chiming in. I’ve only ever had a molcajete.

This is not the case for modern detergents, but is held over from when soaps were all made from lye. The polymerized layers of oil that you have will stay mostly in tact with some dish detergent and a light scrub sponge. After washing and drying mine off with a towel, I apply some oil and heat it on the stove for a few minutes to maintain the seasoning.

But absolutely mortar and pestle should never ever get soap, particularly something like a molcajete made from volcanic rock. I just wipe mine really thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth.

Edit: SMFH don’t mass down vote someone for having inaccurate information. Had they not commented, they wouldn’t have opened themselves up to the opportunity to learn something.

Even if I don’t learn anything new, it’s always good to refresh. It’s literally one hour out of my year, so not much of a sink.

In the US, I don’t think anyone reads their state driver manual. I read it every year because it’s the only thing I can be sure of that makes me better than 99% of everyone else.

Feel a real sense of superiority

Jake Hanrahan, from Popular Front, recently made a documentary about favelas with footage and interviews from a number of gang members. It’s part of a project called Away Days and there is also a podcast of the same name.

Debian and Ubuntu based distros have PPAs which serve the same purpose as the AUR.

RTFM, Mom!
