The power bowl is nice combined with other stuff. During Hatch chili season, I roasted up some Hatch chilies and removed the skin, stem, and seeds. Chop one or two up and stick them in the bowl. Combine with a heated tortilla.

Though that varies by country. It is also maybe not meat based but milk based.

And many items can be customized to be vegan or vegetarian with some simple substitutions or exclusions. The only problem is when the kitchen makes a mistake. Not a calamity for someone who is just trying to get a lot less meat in their diet, but a reason to be pissed when a vegan wanders into a region of reduced fat sour cream.

I’m not too surprised. It must be quite unpleasant working around a noisy piece of machinery like that.

Not really. It was always her tactic to make him go nuts. Provoking him into shouting over her would have gone along with that and just made him look bad.

I am a very narrow supporter of eugenics. Specifically, I am against any further breeding by Elon Musk.

I nominate Vivian Wilson.

Muskrat? They really are repulsive creatures.

Oh certificate, I thought you meant mark.

During the US occupation, the Taliban absolutely did attack civilian targets to further political goals. They attacked everything from restaurants to embassies to a university.

The left wing circular firing squad

Well, it’s going through my head right now, so I will count it.

Ceilings in my ass

That works until it doesn’t. Keeping your state out of play means Democrats can focus their limited resources on other states. Let it become a closer contest and Democrats may find themselves expending resources in areas that should be a slam dunk.

I just started looking up the different ways to order beers. Wow. Even if it’s based on the metric system, each country really did go and reinvent the wheel.

I’m doing a series of conversations/interviews with my parents’ generation to keep a voice record of their stories. As part of that, I’m doing transcripts that start with the transcript feature of Google’s Recorder. It can do some nifty things like assign speakers to individual voices. I have to clean up the transcripts some, but it’s far less laborious than dealing with a 15-20 minute conversation. I can fix up a transcript in maybe 5 minutes.

Place names in general in the Pacific Northwest. Alaska is from an Aleut phrase. Out of the 36 Oregon counties, 10 have roots in indigenous language or culture.

Make America Great Again. Leave the dog shit.

Depends on who writes him. The modern Marvel Cinematic Universe has more than its fair share of mustache twirlers.

Sure, I’m talking general trends.

• Black Panther’s Killmonger: Saw injustice against Black people and how Wakanda was doing little to stop it.
• Thanos: Motive changed from trying to impress Death (the Marvel entity) to watching his home planet of Titan starve to death from overpopulation, leading to killing half of life.
• Scarlet Witch: Mom misses her husband/kids!
• He-Who-Remains: Sure he kept a timeline devouring monster at the end of time, but it’s for the greater good!

That’s the opposite of (genuine) fiscally conservatism, since it implies large fiscal deficits. Not that some fiscal deficits are inherently bad, they are widely misunderstood when used in a limited way.

That’s an obvious strawman argument. How about a spectrum between high taxes, generous social safety net and low taxes, skimpy social safety net? There are people with beliefs all along that spectrum. Of course, then there are people who want low taxes and a generous social safety net, but that’s another matter.
