> The whole word means something like "Cymbalistson"

it means, literally, son of the cymbal maker


No, that’s not actually “the problem”


what is? there is no problem if you understand the way the world truly works. people drive cars. the utopian bicycle world does not exist.


“The world”—this all depends on where you live. There are plenty of places that are very bike-friendly. How do you think they got that way?


sure fine. try nothing. fix nothing. better nothing. do nothing. accept the bad.


There are lots of problems. But if you think that one of them is groups of people engaging in athletics and enjoying the outdoors, then I would suggest that one of the problems may be in the mirror…


Maybe you shouldn’t be driving …


Paracetamol is available in the US as Tylenol/acetaminophen


The bowline


We are trying to create scarcity. This is literally the opposite of the Star Trek economy. We are so fucked …


agree with that. russia has too many fronts. can easily be ganged up against. if the western powers are united in the opening, they can completely neutralize russia's northern port.

Negroponte's brother was Bush II's DNI, and there is a ton of speculation about Epstein's involvement in foreign intelligence ...


Oh his track record cuts longer and deeper than that. Look up what he did in South America. There's a whole lot of blood on John Negroponte's hands. Nicholas must take solace in the fact that he isn't directly responsible for as many deaths and as much corruption as his brother John, for what it's worth.

>Based upon the Committee's review of State Department and CIA documents, it would seem that Ambassador Negroponte knew far more about government perpetrated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the committee in 1989 or in Embassy contributions at the time to annual State Department Human Rights reports.


DNI = Director of National Intelligence

(I had to look it up)


Negroponte was DNI when Epstein was on trial, it makes no sense.


What trial? You mean when Acosta cut a deal because Epstein “belonged to intelligence”?


or macro-brewed lagers. bud used like a dozen different hops in their flagship beer in order to reduce the effect if a particular hop is unavailable.


Yup. But I also understand that some of them use hop oil extracts (could be wrong). Never tried it, but I have to think it loses some of the nuance of whole leaf or pellet in the process. Which is fine, they are optimizing for consistency and scaling. McDonalds vs Five Guys.
