“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” — Mark Twain

The first step will be class consciousness, including what’s left of the middle class.

No way! Me too! Happy belated, btw.

Thanks for the correction! I’ve memorized that the other way around.

A quart is a bit larger than a liter. Four of them make a US gallon.

Your nuts?

Just one?

Thank you for the well thought out response! I feel like acids are a potential solution. You could use tomato or pepper acids for flavor and microbial resistance.

Roman soldiers used to keep their lupini beans in red wine vinegar for longevity. They’re very high in protein, and the acid in the vinegar would create lactic acid, which helps break down muscle during exercise.

There is no backdoor in Apple’s encryption. That’s the reason the US and UK governments have prosecuted Apple repeatedly.

The UK banned encryption without a backdoor, so Apple turned off encryption rather than compromising their standard.

Oh absolutely. We should be leveraging Israel’s aid to ensure compliance for Palestinian aid delivery and maintaining safe routes.

That’s correct. Her husband also had a restraining order against her, for him and their children, due to her psychosis. After being released from the hospital, she showed up at his door, begging to see the children. He declined due to her excited state, and recommended she go home and rest. She killed herself that night.

It’s a horribly tragic story of a woman who bore way too much trauma for one lifetime, but it really isn’t suspicious once you read the details.

I said they were elected into power. Do you believe Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are representing their constituents in our representative democracy?

I have moved no goalposts. I maintain the defense of innocent civilians, regardless of their residence. This became a debate when you suggested there are no innocent civilians in Israel, simply because Netanyahu is the aggressor. That’s wildly narrow-minded.
