I recently got sick and decided to play through ff2 (iv). I’ve owned it since I was a kid but never beat it.
I finished it in less than 24 real world hours.
I was astonished at the difference being an adult makes with regard to gaming.

It’s technically our second place and it’s bigger, newer, but needs a bit of updating.
It’s not everything we wanted and between closing costs, moving costs, the exhaustion of moving and adjusting to the move I don’t think we’re going to do it again before we’re priced out of the thing we want.
We were hedging against either a bigger market correction or a bigger price explosion. Instead we just got weird global stress and fatigue.
Arguing from empathy with no regard for facts is hopeless.

We need both.
Yeah I’m as confident about the shit chocolate as this guy is about the chocolate shit.
Don’t forget Coca-Cola Fanta.
“some brands of bikes” make frames out of carbon fiber with wireless derailleurs and have rear facing radar to detect when other bikes or vehicles are approaching, how fast, and on which side.
When your exercise, your recreation, your hobby, and your transportation are all the same thing, it’s easy to justify spending more to make those things as easy and pleasant as possible.
You can get a perfectly usable bike for very little money in America… Probably still made in China though 😂
While it’s a fact that the middle class is shrinking, I think you’re miscalibrated.

Just BROADLY speaking, the pro Palestinian take right now is that Israel should be removed and Palestine given all of the territory.
Like, that’s the take. They don’t just want an end to the violence - Israel wants that too. Hamas has been dedicated to the destruction of Jews and Israel for basically forever.
So it’s asymmetrical.
The pro Israel take is “destroy Hamas so that these attacks stop and there can be peace.” But it’s important to note that up until the October 7 attack Israel only wanted peace. This new policy is a reaction to an unprecedented attack.
I have some organic cyanide you might be interested in…
Yes.
This is the thing people don’t understand about a ubi.
I had a coworker who’s wife was a… Case manager? For welfare. Her whole job was determining whether or not people were lying/exaggerating about various elements of their claim.
First of all, government union paper pushers make decent money. There was an entire office full of people that covered cases in their region only.
Second, it’s a soul sucking job. Her primary assumption was that everyone was cheating and lying and she needed to minimize everyone’s payout.
UBI solves both of those things and by plugging it directly into the tax system people can be free to try to earn a better living, which studies have shown most people want when they are given a UBI.
Increased productivity, increased employment, increased entrepreneurship, increased mental health outcomes, there is literally no downside except for needing to tax the rich.
So wait, your position is that Israel is behind the Hamas attacks on Israel, in order to justify their military action against Gaza?
Do you have any evidence to support that?
IIRC Jews have called the land west of the river Jordan Israel for a long time, too, 3000 years or so?
So what do we do, get into a competition to see who can find the oldest historical documents? Or just accept that we have two (or more, really) groups of people that have historical and cultural import around the same region?
And more importantly, can we do that without the constant terrorism? I think we can all agree that terrorism is bad.
Probably similar to all the other aid.
They’ll send construction supplies that will be used for tunnels instead, and pipes for plumbing that will be used to make bombs instead.
So much aid has been directed to Palestinians only to be stolen by Hamas.
There’s a difference between a historical description of the land, and a formal Nation.
Even Mandated Palestine wasn’t Palestinian-run, it was British.
If I poke a bear and then it chases me home and eats my family while I’m hiding in the basement, it’s my fault.
Only instead of poking the bear I’m murdering its cubs.
It doesn’t matter how much stronger the bear is than me. If anything, I SHOULDN’T POKE THE BEAR.
Hamas terrorists hide amongst innocent Palestinian families. If they weren’t cowards they would wear uniforms like the IDF and most (if not all) of the civilian casualties would be avoided… But Hamas doesn’t want that anyway, because they use the civilian casualties to justify their violence.
That said, I agree with what you’re saying. At some point you have to say “if you two can’t play nice, you’re both grounded”.
There was no Palestine in 1900, it was the Ottoman Empire.
They collapsed after a spanking in WW1.
BBC explains it pretty well:
The real controversy seems to be around her calling them fromage fighters.
Edit: FREEDOM fighters lmao, but I can’t bring myself to fix it.
Anything that can happen will happen, and because the manual is finite, eventually the will be a situation that the company is unprepared for.
Take responsibility, yes, but don’t act beyond your authority. Tell the person that you’ll find out, and ask the appropriate person.
If there is time pressure, don’t take on more than you can reliably handle - don’t take info and promise to contact the person unless you can do that. It’s always better to give the person contact information and ask them to call or come back.
For years companies loved “I can” statements. “I can help you with that”, “I can find out for you”, etc. But I think that might have fallen out of favor, check with someone younger than me (lol!).
Nothing is nonstick like Teflon … But the VAST majority of cooking doesn’t require that level of nonstick, either.
Unless you have a French omelette addiction, you probably don’t need Teflon.
