I bought one of those as a gag gift, it went over really well.

Aircraft carriers are powered by on board nuclear power plants, they don’t use conventional fuel at all.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a version like that. It’s possible since she was half asleep she’s misremembering the order of events, because Tiny Tim does die in the hypothetical future shown by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

But after Scrooge changes his ways, Tiny Tim lives. That’s explicit in the original work and all the adaptations I’ve ever seen.

Whenever I’m walking up stairs I worry I might trip and hit my teeth right on the edge of a stair and knock my teeth out

That’s right, it’s just the Germanic name for the same deity.

Donnerstag means “day of thunder” and is named after Donar, the god of war in old Germanic mythology. Donar is better known by his Norse name, Thor.

It’s only fair, that’s what they ask countries like Venezuela and Bolivia to do. Oh wait no, it’s actually even less reasonable, they just demand the results be reversed when they don’t like them lol

I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that

They’ve been calling for it for ages. But peace predicated on an actual end to the war which means a full end to the illegal occupation and siege of Gaza etc.

Didn’t she?

It’s been a while since I felt like that, though I know what you’re talking about. I think I’ve come to terms with it and have a really healthy outlook now. I don’t want to die or anything, there’s a lot more I want to do and see and learn, but I also don’t fear death whenever it comes. In some ways it will be a relief.

Let me know if you find something like that, I’m also interested.

Ukraine wasn’t present for the vote apparently that’s why it’s black and not green

No problem. The author is definitely a lib who wrote it from a pro-US perspective as a warning basically, like “if you don’t stop treating Puerto Rico like shit they’re going to leave you for China” but if you can look past the ideology I think it’s got some good info.

If Puerto Rico were independent it could start doing deals with China which the US doesn’t want, I read a whole book about that once which I can’t remember the details of super well but maybe the book would interest you.

Well she has no chance of winning, so it’d be sort of weird if she did care about that or was talking like it was a real possibility. It’s still good that there are anti-genocide candidates like her and the PSL candidate on the ballot. I don’t think people who vote for them are expecting them to win, they’re signaling their disapproval of the two candidates who might win.

Did you mean to say Harris?

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check that out!

I just wish the iPhone podcast app would display the episodes in the proper order

Probably Israel warned to evacuate that building prior to bombing it or something.

Can somebody interpret his hint? How did they blow up those tankers?
