If you'd rather avoid liquid smoke try using smoked paprika instead. Store bought does the job but if you can find the good stuff at a local farmer's market, it's worth it.

No, but it's so immaterial it hasn't really been worth the effort to exclude it yet

Yes... but... this becomes one of those things that everyone should buy to be prepared but few actually do or they forget.

I keep a little crank-chargeable radio in our emergency kit but most people don't. If the cell networks go down (and they usually do in severe weather and most other big emergency situations) most people will lose all of their access to information.

I wholeheartedly agree, but I don't think there's any saving it at this point. Car manufacturers are dropping it from new models and that's the only actual AM/FM radio most people actually buy these days.

Same thing happened to the phone network. It used to actually be possible to call 911 when the power was out. The central stations all had battery banks and diesel generators. Unless the lines were cut, you had service.

Or will they have to wait for space whales in the end again. Although I doubt they’d want to visit anytime soon.

They don't seem to visit that often anyway. Surely Thrawn and/or Ezra would've tried to hitch a ride back at some point in the past 11 years if more whales had shown up.

His only crime to them was not marrying her after he trafficked her.

Oh, they don't care about that. Conservative men can molest and rape whoever they like with no obligation to marry anybody.

The Universe probably wouldn't fit in a sphere of any size and it very well may be infinite.

But looking at a very large spherical region like the visible universe from our perspective here on Earth, everything is moving away from us. If objects were being pulled towards one particular edge of our imaginary sphere, it would look very different. We'd see a clear drift in that direction, but it all looks pretty even across every direction we look.

Not if the Dems agree to vote to keep him

That seems a tall order given his long history of biting the Dem's hands every time they reach out. This is a problem of his party's own making and stems from not honoring their earlier agreements around the debt ceiling.

Besides, they can't agree to something he hasn't (and won't) ask for.

They claim to be, but it's been a lot more talk than action over the past few decades. That's why Trump picked up so much blue collar support. He didn't do anything for them either, but he spoke to their anger.

What he believes in his heart has nothing to do with the crimes he's been charged with. He interfered with official processes and concocted a scheme to submit a state of false electors. Believing he was doing what was right has nothing to do with the legality of the charges.

USB 2 can transfer 1 gigabyte in about 20 seconds

It's still alive and kicking under the old framework though. Most ISPs dropped their news servers ages ago but there are still loads of free and subscription providers out there.

I don't know what this committee thinks it can accomplish that the fediverse hasn't already picked up the torch on, but power to them. The less centralized and more diverse the Internet is, the better.

I'm preventing a nuclear holocaust right now

I agree. I think tech progression has been mostly beneficial, but I could do without DRM and centralized social media.

For one, he destroyed the legitimacy of the federal judiciary & supreme court. Which is terrible, but great. Like Voldemort.

For a minute there I thought this was going to be about a nuclear aircraft. That's some wild 1950s shit right there.

The Senate will probably never have 66 votes to impeach him before he dies of old age, but there is no reason he cannot be prosecuted and jailed for bribery and corruption. There are actual laws against that.

Allegedly, Ira Behr wanted to end the series by making it all a fever dream by Benny Hill but Berman wouldn't let him.

None of the republican candidates are minimally acceptable. All of them are authoritarian and wish to end democracy. I think it's more dangerous if one of the less crazy-sounding ones gets the nomination. Biden is unpopular and there's a very real chance anybody who's not Trump will win simply by virtue of being somebody "new."

The ideal scenario is that Trump gets the nomination but can barely campaign in the general because of all of his court obligations. It gets even better if he's knocked off a few state ballots and/or the republican party tries to take the nomination away from him after the fact and they tear each other apart with infighting.

Exactly. It would be beyond stupid for "Liberal groups" to try to disqualify him now. He's on track to sail through the primaries and lock up the Republican nomination. Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake.
