As an Australian, another middle power, Mark Carney’s speech was a good one. The sooner us similar powers can get together and choose another way, free from the power mad “great powers” the better.

And this is why, no matter how abhorrent some people are or seem, or even if they admit their guilt, that the death penalty shouldn’t be enforced.

Hey now, it moves much better than some worn socks. Some of those are rock solid.

Culo is “ass” in Italian. I’m assuming culo us is an Italian American’s bum

Di- = maybe 2 bums
Ri- = maybe walking away?

Bit of a stretch. You could argue that the Spanish, Portuguese, French or British empires were long lasting, more extensive and had a greater affect over history than the 125 or so years that the US has been a major power (half of it’s history - prior to that it was mostly insular). Just in language alone, let alone diplomatic and cultural ties.

But yes, he has ushered in the final destruction of the US’s standing in the world. However, it was set up to fall since at least the Reagan-era which you could argue we’re still in.

I make my own sandwich bread, and it’s far nicer than the bought stuff. Yeast based, not sourdough but that’s fine too. I use a tin for those. They’re generally more wet - about 70% hydration. They’d be fine not in a tin but would be flatter, and would benefit from chilling.

I also make “rustic” loaves which are drier and stiffer about 60% and are firm enough to not need a pan at all.

Until he talks to someone else. He’s just parroting the last thing someone said to him.

The ability to buy a house isn’t the only indicator of an economy. Neither is GDP, or CPI, or any of the other numerous stats if used in isolation. Millennials (and their cusps - xennials and zennials) already accepted that we’re poorer than our parents, financially at least, and we didn’t riot. We voted differently and continuously push for other things.

As soon as the GOP started bleating that the Biden administration were doing it to them, which they weren’t (Merrick Garland was a limp-backed baby chewing on a pacifier) you just knew what was coming. Dems weren’t doing it, and they expected GOP to be the same. They are not the same.

This what you mean?

The AI overview says about the 24-25 stat is about 90gb but that’s not the main driver for the shortage. It’s more due the first bit of my statement - AI. The companies creating these AI models are sucking up all the RAM.

Likely due to your Netflix account suddenly not working for some reason and you’re missing the latest episode of Gabby’s Dollhouse

I got married to my gf of 7 years and started going to uni.

That’s why I subscribe to aww and dad jokes too

Ah, the ostrich approach to life.

44 and can remember lots about what I did as a 3-4 year old including first day at kindy and school, Christmases etc. phone numbers, birthdays, dates and everything. Can recall much of my time throughout my teens and 20s too.

Don’t ask me what I did last weekend though. Time goes much faster as you get older (perceptively) and I don’t feel different but know I’m getting older because I’m watching my kids grow up into (mostly) functional humans. Often I’m shocked it’s the weekend again.

We are long past peak oil. Look I’m not saying we’re not going to need oil long into the future and its use for aviation is currently unsurpassed but the argument is our reliance on oil is waning as newer technologies have come into play, especially in the power generation and automotive sectors. Chemical and plastic production is still vital and that can’t be done without oil. We’re not getting away from using it for a long tine but it’s past it’s peak.

What Dumpy forgets is supply and demand (because he’s one of the worst business people ever) and releasing more oil into the market from his imperialist acquisitions means a drop in value - even the oil execs were apprehensive as to whether the takeover of Venezuela and being told they need to fix up their processing was a good thing as they don’t want the market flooded as that will cause the cost of oil to plummet.

Thats because he’s stuck in the 80s. It’s common for people with dementia to fall back to a time they thought was good and for him, it was the 80s when oil was king.
