Have you ever seen someone butter meat. It's the weirdest thing. Sure it's a fancy way to cook steak, delicious even, but have you ever watched someone put butter on a hamburger or bacon? That second one stuck with me, fuck you ohio...see you this summer though.Sure, Best Food, right
Arthur Ave, the Bronx, now that's food, not some fried butter/turkey legs & corn dogs
No wonder anything West of the Hudson is fucked up.
They have never had good food
Making a Midwestern pilgrimage this summer. Flying into not chicago IL and then picking up my pop and heading to the middle of nowhere Ohio. Going to take my son along, it will probably be the only time he visits a place like that and it's where a considerable chunk of relatives live. Might be interesting and insightful, it has sort of bothered me lately to not have family or ties to anywhere. Will be weird at least, it's Amish country and those guys are ok in my book, I very much enjoy talking with them.
Gonna buy a bunch of fireworks in Indiana and shoot them off as we drive down the road.

Fuck yea
Those almost simultaneous events in China with the 2 major chip suppliers to the World bursting into flames/Covid hit showed the vulnerability of relying on one source, fucking China?
Build the shit fucking here

Texas might have trouble with their abortion laws on this one, many San Francisco types who are educated work in the industry, these people aren't dummies and many women are among them, there will be fierce competition for talent, specialist engineers and technicians, the @Fogdog types!
Getting such people to move to Texas with recent events could be problematic. It ain't the machines that make these businesses work in the end, though they are required, it is the people who are the biggest factor, you need talent too. California will have an edge here that incentives can't make up for, but it isn't the first time that fascist politics hurt their economy. Dunno how far the project is along in Texas, but other chip makers in more liberal states will be recruiting rare talent in America too.

Very good point that I never factored in.Texas might have trouble with their abortion laws on this one, many San Francisco types who are educated work in the industry, these people aren't dummies and many women are among them, there will be fierce competition for talent, specialist engineers and technicians, the @Fogdog types!
Who the fuck would want to live/work in Texas?
Especially ones with brains.
So, I guess they'll have gather local talent
Good fucking luck

Chip making and electronic manufacturing is ramping up in America, with long overdue industrial policy. Automation will make electronics assembly feasible in America, people just plug in the displays and pop the printed circuit board with the surface mounted components into a case with a battery. Most electronic assembly is done completely automatically these days with pick and place machines using components from tapes and wave soldering. In China thousands of workers have been laid off from the industry because of automation. Chips and electronics are strategic industries, vital to the functioning of a modern society and chips are not created overnight, months of fabrication are required on the silicon wafers once production begins.Very good point that I never factored in.

Taliban leader orders women to wear all-covering burqa in public: Decree
Afghanistan’s supreme leader and Taliban chief on Saturday ordered the country’s women to wear the all-covering burqa in public - one of the harshest controls imposed on women’s lives since the Taliban seized power.
“They should wear a chadori (head-to-toe burqa) as it is traditional and respectful,” said a decree issued by Hibatullah Akhundzada that was released by Taliban authorities at a function in Kabul.
“Those women who are not too old or young must cover their face, except the eyes, as per sharia directives, in order to avoid provocation when meeting men who are not mahram (adult close male relatives),” the decree said.
It added that if women had no important work outside it was “better they stay at home.”
During their first regime between 1996 and 2001, the Taliban imposed similar restrictions on women.

Imprison the women and let the perverts run free seems like a reasonable solution, for the dark ages.We all knew it would come, just not when.

You could do worse with legislation and we are seeing examples of that from American red states lately. Banning contraception will go over like a turd in the punch bowl and that appears to be next on the wingnuts agenda, after they are done with abortion and math books.Oh! Canada!

With advent SpaceX and others, space travel will be much more common in the next decade hundreds of people a year might go into orbit and there are several plans for orbital hotels as the price per kilo plummets. A few years will see humans on the moon again, this time to stay, but they will stay under meters of it, not on the surface in glass domes. Soon, like the internet before it, space will be invaded by assholes. I'm waiting for the first American space tourist to be caught with a gun, cause there are brown people there and some ain't even Christians!

I imagine bringing a firearm of any sort aboard a spacecraft or hab would be treated like murder 1. Space cops won’t have guns; they do not interact well with thin-walled bubbles of air. Tasers, bear spray and orher nonprojectile weapons.
