Ironically the Taliban’s popularity is partly derived from opposing this practice.

Look at the paper thingy lining the bottom. That thingy should be clean and unmarked. Strawberries ripen after being picked so you don’t want to select the ripest berries unless you want to eat them quickly.

Like with most produce it is about knowing how to select them. In many cases there is a national group/council for whatever fruit, nut ir veg you are thinking about and they have guides as to how to best pick things and what season to expect the best produce.

We don’t need to balance the budget anually. It needs to be in balance within the cycle which is typically much longer than a year.

Because that means spending money to destroy product.

Gibson was born in Peekskill NY and moved to Australia when he was 12. Sadly, he’s right at home in America

Urotsukidōji, Legend of the Overfiend. It’s a loving story about bringing humans and demons together through tentacles /s (seriously /s it is very much NSFW and violent)

He was big in a band called DC Talk which was christian rock/pop. They are that genre’s biggest act. This is big news for those people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tait

I really liked She-Hulk and would enjoy seeing more.

I have a buddy that makes animations for video slot machines. When a new slot machine program is finished the FBI goes over everysingle line of code to make sure it is honest. There are no claims of proprietary information that prevents this evaluation. Our voting machines are treated with a lower standard than our slot machines.

Not to mention that any conspiracy would need to involve many local officials who would notice odd results in their area.

For example, my area of New Jersey leans heavily to the democrats and it would be odd if Cittarelli, the republican candidate, wins the governor’s race for my town. I might not notice oddities in another location but in my town I would know and start asking questions. There are many people who would see the same and do likewise.

For the 2024 elections it would be hard to cheat the entire election. That might change but right now it’s more likely that Trump won because Americans are not paying attention.

Could be a former cop who knows where keys are kept.

Could be someone who stole a cop car.

It’s because you cannot under normal circumstances engage in a killing spree but most can get laid if they have previously put in effort.

“Drug commercials as you know them really only began in 1997, when constraints were further loosened, and new meds began to feature in television commercials. For its part, the FDA notes that no federal law has ever outlawed drug ads, justifying its progressively lax regulation.”

The next paragraph explains why I mention the 1990sbecause before then you would have to have printed on screen the side effects.

Drug ads were only legalized in the 1990s. It was much better to not have to constantly see them.

Everybody sucks in this conflict.

You are correct

Iran was keeping to the treaty until we ripped it up.

Radio Free Asia, it is a US government news service.

Radio Free Europe/Asia are US government news sources. They are only sometimes credible.

I have been protesting for various causes for decades.

Engaging with police using lethal force is not going to endear anyone to the anti-government cause that desperately needs more people involved.
