Once a day if you’re on military time

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky could be up your alley. One of the best books I’ve read in recent memory

That actually makes a lot of sense, especially combined with the other answers of how some sanctions are trickier implement. Thank you!

It seems like there’s always another sanction package, why didn’t they slap them all on there in the beginning of this whole thing? What’s the benefit of holding some back and letting their economy limp along for a bit?

Yep

We built some gas turbines for them at Siemens and trained a few of their people for a new factory we had to build in Riyadh as part of the turbine deal. The individual people we were training were nice enough but it felt like morals just went out the window when the Saudi money showed up.

SLAMMED! Feels like most headlines are written by 12 year olds these days

That sounds like a win, honestly. Get all the MAGA idiots to emigrate, seize and auction all his assets, step 3: ???, step 4: profit

I am SHOCKED

Yeah, but Trump is medically incapable of not posting insane ramblings with more information than necessary anywhere that will let him, which I believe is the point they were making

We live across a back alley from a hookah bar that was called “A Buck R 2 Lounge”. There’s a shed in the back where all sorts of ATVs and dirt bikes meet up to terrorize the neighborhood/city, it sounds like we live in the middle of a motocross course. They recently painted the building black with purple trim (as hideous as it sounds) and put a new sign up proclaiming the establishment is now called “Rico’s Rush”. I wish someone would just burn the place down already, starting with the shed…

Surely Matt Gaetz will be furious to hear about this

What kind of barbecue? I’d prefer a vinegar-based North Carolina style sauce

Enjoy your Sony phones and, uh, nope just Sony… :( RIP my LG V60

Edit: if you want flagship processors with your headphone jack and microSD. Zenfone 10 lost the card slot. Motorolla has some compelling phones but usually with a lower tier processor.
