Iran has shown that the United States needs NATO, and NATO needs the United States, more than ever. If Iranian Shaheeds and their manpeds / S300s are hitting US fighters and sneaking past defenses, who knows what more advanced or just sheer high scale weaponry could do, air superiority does not feel guaranteed.

A near peer (Russia) conflict would be ugly on a scale not seen since WWI, a true peer (China) conflict would unleash horrors we cannot imagine. We will all need each other, as NATO is a significant deterrent factor, which could actually save the lives of millions through deterrence, or shift the balance of warfare through increase manufacturing and safe zone output.

things like this give me hope for the future, if we can come together and preserve our cultural legacy like this - what else can we come together and do?

glad I didn't listen to my spouse and built my badass computer right when the 9070XT / 5070TI came out (went with the 9070 for the 16gb vram, happy with the card).

honestly it looks rough, the movies aren't even that dated yet (with the exception of the first, but its charmingly dated IMO).

Right? The gymnastics to support conversion therapy on one hand and on the other claim books in the library are making people gay is absurd.

love the reusing the marinade for a sauce bit, gorgeous char for a pan sear, my hat is off to you, I feel like I struggle to get a good texture on tofu, but I usually go for cubes not slices- might have to experiment with slices a bit since it would be easier to keep track of the sear for ~6 slices instead of ~64 cubes.

I'll always be fighting right here next to you sibbling, and I think the majority of actual people who are living under these circumstances agree.

that looks amazing, was the tofu on a grill or did you get that char on a pan?

totally agreed, and enrich themselves.

We should be instating term limits, ranked choice voting, reverse citizens united.

These alone would be a big (bipartisan) step in the right direction.

Some of the takes on here are quite unhinged... Thanks for fighting the good fight.

Agreed, we are seeing a record number of congress people leaving office... I think its time for a new wave of politicians who are willing to work together.
