There will likely be a lot of stupid conflicts over the Arctic in the oncoming decades, sad to say.

You nailed it. True patriots understand that this country will never be free until people of any gender identity can legally operate high-speed jetpacks in schools.

Unfun fact:

A lot of that infomercial gear is originally invented as a disability aid, and has to go for this fringe market to get manufactured if a big medical equipment supplier doesn’t license it. You either make a tool that can do something big like helping a maimed soldier fight again, or your disability aid gets a silly-seeming commercial that mocks the difficulties faced by the people that the gadget’s creator was attempting to help.

It’s almost a moot point with how many taxable components going into those jet chunks could be impacted by the tariff before the US government procures the finished good. The resulting cost overrun is part of the grift.

If ya like learning cool lefty shit and care about the political economy of health, the Death Panel podcast is a nicely chilled refresher in a world thats’s served well done with ketchup.

What in the parabolic FUCK are they talking about?! Beyond being a nauseating atrocity, the IDF statement is c/noncredibledefense levels of war-as-satire. There is no stockade big enough. The common 120mm mortar has a lethal radius of 30m from the point of impact, and has been given a 10% probability of ‘incapacitation’ at 100m. A common M795 155m high explosive howitzer shell will generally have a ‘kill radius’ of 50m, with fragmentation spreading significantly further.

If there is an argument, I’d hope it’s more about not ending up with unsafe or disappointing chemistry. Suspending CO2 in a liquid doesn’t need anything so proprietary, and especially not from a company that’s an active participant in settler-colonial occupation of Palestine like Sodastream.

Ideally, give folks a chance to mix each pour to taste if you’re sharing this. Follow a wine spritzer recipe for guidelines.

If you want to make it bubbly without diluting, force-carbonating it with CO2 like a homemade soda is fun. Transfer the wine to an appropriate pressure resistant vessel before gassing. Some bargain bubbly is made this way.

Cheap sparklers like cava or cremant de Limoux that use the champagne method might make you happier in a lot of cases, of course. Killer picnic pairings if you’re having fried chicken.

(Iran building tons of cool shit and cultivating local expertise under sanctions is an amazing accomplishment , and I hope they’re building sweet-ass planetariums)

They look like that for accessibility, to be driveable and comfortable for even the tallest and shortest postal employees, and that makes them goddamn beautiful.

You joke, but there’s credible intelligence that Iranian scientists are close to completing an Antikythera Mechanism
