I mean, parts of Wales have a tradition of rap battling a horse skeleton for beer. Seems like you might be right.

Gwlad! Gwlad! Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Wikipedia has a list of places named after each president. I see zero southern schools named after Obama. You might be on to something.

But apparently it can't cover the cost of monopoly go!? That, that amuses me. I need to look into that one more.

Alcor is generally considered your best cryonics bet right now. Not a great bet, but your best bet.

Wow. Way to show you have no understanding of neither the proposed solutions nor NIMBYs. The idiots voting them down don't care about what is actually being proposed, they care exclusively that it will lower housing costs. If there's enough housing for everyone their house suddenly isn't as precious a commodity and their retirement plan just withered away.

There's plenty of people who would happily move into new apartments.

The original was titled "October Rain" (a reference to an October Hamas attack),
had lyrics like:
Hours and hours
and flowers
Life is no game for the cowards (most I've heard felt it in context to be saying screw Palestine, they started it and hide in their holes killing, let's bomb them all)

And the Israeli delegate to Eurovision (the board member guy, not the artist) said they were sending a song all Israelis could connect to.

So yeah, my albeit western interpretation is it was very anti-palastine, pro-israel

Welsh doesn't have k,q,or x. Could be Greek?

If only denser housing structures and public transportation and work from home didn't all keep getting voted down and shouted down by NIMBYs so we had a better way. I get out and vote and write letters to elected officials. Not much more many of us can do.

I haven't heard it at all so I can't comment, but I do know they were forced to re-write it pretty late in the game to turn down the more obvious anti-palastine political messages in it after several countries threatened to boycott this year. It might have already sucked, haven't heard either version, but a late re-write changing it can't have helped.

I prefer option 3: Everyone brings some cake to the party, and everyone gets to enjoy the variety of flavors, because we all pooled resources.

I'm not against subwoofers. I'm against noise ordinances never being enforced even if you call a complaint in and police are usually seen patrolling around town so you know there's plenty free to respond.

Do you mean with the Voyager FDS? There's a big difference between patching a system 30+ years past it's planned mission date because at everyone's amazement it just keeps going and being valuable versus the Neuralink developing issues a few months after being installed when many expected it to fail because of the news of high failure rate among the primate test subjects beforehand.
