I'm always thrown by sourness in cultured butter unless there's an added actually sour thing in it. Lime really would meet my requirement and the heat certainly wouldn't suck.

The morons who are still out this late screaming at each other, I have to wonder how their week will be.

Anyway the concept of Vikings as only braining monks is rather ahistorical. Significant trade flourished and many if not most were traders. At some point paying raiders off became popular too. Which really the extremely wealthy church could have done bc they weren't spending it on social services.

If I have to explain why Vikings, a show I'm aware of but haven't watched (and knowing it has lots of spin-offs and such) vs the Catholic crusades (that's who was running the show!) boy howdy I dunno.
Arn is a fictional knight written by Jan Guillou and was huge in Sweden taking place in Outremer.

Not in Protestant countries, that problem is very much in the past.

People who are really fucking tired of people. The people moving to the country. Honestly shocked it's not higher.

Because no one likes the fatuous and thieving Catholic church. Also they like people who wash at least once a week.

Might throw together a fattoush using some and a loaf that didn't work out right.

Yeah I would like them more savory but I'd venture a jam, especially if I could add some jalapenos.

That guy is whiter than a whole klan rally. It's like oppositional disorder manifested into an actual human who clearly gets off on blaming women for his own shortcomings.

It's a white mom's time to shine the whole fucking sun on themselves moments they just can't pass up. Or bots posing as them because people are perpetually predictable.

I'm puzzled you wouldn't use the obvious shrinking Caspian from the jump.

This read is a level of violence I didn't expect from such a nice young man.

You can ramble about PACs but PACs aren't showing up to talk to your neighbors and friends and helping them mail their ballots or getting them to polls.

Elections are decided by the people who show up.

Agreed.
There's scads of editorial cartoons about young voters that's basically Godot and that's still true. It's true not just in the US.
Local elections have the most power over your day to day life and people who claim to care most opt out. It's like selling ice in January in Juneau.

Its elections draw eyeballs and clicks specifically because of its size. It's a bit like complaining the sun is so hot while you're on Mercury. And again, trying to pull in others is probably worse for NYC itself.

NYC is the largest city in the country, there was never a need for it to be national (probably hurts NYCers that they get so many upwardly mobile types who run as opposed to good administrators) and I've been keeping to my 'I don't live there, can mind my own".
The SM engagement mill was bad.

Possibly? I imagine London ONT is still better than KY. Still it has that "close to a city you would prefer to live in but in reality you will not be able to get there as often as you'd like" vibe.

Yes PRC's attachment to supplies through Hormuz are overstated. If anything there's at least one country in North America, if not three, that see some upside to the Strait being closed. To say nothing of a number of S American countries.

Of the options even the PRC wouldn't want to use Iranian ports for any kind of support mission. Iran's oil is only valuable because it comes at a significant discount and direct involvement really blows up the whole "secret" trade.

Fair.
I think a live test is most likely anyway, for the exact same reason it was for Pakistan, India and DPRK. The data is way less important than the dramatics.
There remains the Test Ban Treaty but lololol Iran and treaties.

KSA continuing to move all its oil out through that chokepoint rather than massively upgraded pipelines to either the east coast (which until recently was rather peaceful) or to Oman is just a reminder of how stupid the Saudis are.

Does China have that kind of force projection or nearby support services at harbors? I guess Gwadar isn't that far.
comment in response to

These are all separate questions and pretending Iran is an any way actually meeting the terms of its previous agreements, like the NTP, is ridiculous.
BTW testing doesn't necessarily have to be in the form you think. It can be modeled computationally.

Most expensive vanity project to flex on your neighbors since Qatar created Al Jazeera.
It has felt like a lot of edging for no release.

Given how the current arrangement came to pass you'd think a lot of people would know you absolutely can get a worse government than the one you had. The Shah was horrific but Khomeini was definitely worse!

There's also no minimum age limit for ATVs in Louisiana? And why is People of all magazines running this story?
