Societal issues like crime would be greatly reduced if people were able to live with relative security regarding housing and food.
Hobbies and recreational activities provide significant mental health benefits. If everyone was able to afford housing, food, and some recreation we’d have a massive shift in this country.
I’m not even saying working particularly hard. Everyone seems to need a job and they don’t all have to be back breaking hard work to earn these things. Mcdonalds and Kohls aren’t prestigious jobs, but shouldnt those workers deserve to know they have a roof over their heads and food on the table?
I love how you just casually included the iFixit channel.
It’s true though. They’ve got teardowns for just about every major mobile device, and then some. As for their store, I bought the screen I’m typing this on from them. The shipping could be better, at least in my experience, but the products are definitely high quality.
Guatemala’s ruling class spent months trying to negate the democratic election of anti-corruption, centre-left, progressivist, social-democrat, now-President Bernardo Arévalo. Certainly, the ruling class will screw with the whole system, and, possibly, they will attempt to kill him.
Bernardo is the son of former president Juan José Arévalo, whose time in office immediately followed an uprising that deposed U.S. backed dictator Jorge Ubico in 1945. Hate runs deep.
Keep in mind that the tenuous peace in Guatemala is consistently marred by gang violence, institutional corruption, kidnappings, and murder. This ray of light for the campesinos, indigenous people, and impoverished majority is, hopefully, sustainable with a mandate to improve Guatemala into a place where people can live. It would behoove (United States of) Americans to support this president as he could move the needle on making life liveable in Guatemala and stemming the flow of refugees and migrant workers to the North.
I just looked it up and my first pair of darn tough socks are 7 years old with no signs of failing. I feel like I got my money’s worth. I’m not sure I would even make a warranty claim at this point.
Caspian report is crap opinions passing as geopolitical knowledge and analysis. I have watched a few of his vids. and the guy doesn’t know what is really happening in other foreign countries, but it doesn’t stop him from writing 30 mn long bullshit videos and impressing an audience that is just as uneducated about those subjects as him. i.e Any one who claims to know everything about every other country in the world is a FRAUD.
Why do you think it’s just the narrator’s lone opinion and not the narrator describing the research performed by a team of people on the subject of each episode?
What’s your best geopolitics channel then? Or is the very idea of one also a fraud to you?
Anti-Chef: Jamie tries to cook from cookbooks if the greatest, but he’s not a chef or anything, and you see all his mistakes, such as his recent deboning of a chicken, where he mistakenly de-meated it as well and had to venture out for a new chicken. It isn’t bits, just a guy that wants to cook but isn’t always so good about following directions, but he learns skiing the way.
Food Wishes: Chef John was a chef, and he makes a wide variety of things in easy to understand ways. He’s got lots of catch phrases and such, but he’s old so they’re endearing instead of obnoxious. His speech pattern can be somewhat off-putting to some, but I got used to it, and he’s just trying to be upbeat.
Tool Reviews:
Project Farm: Putting tools, small outdoor machinery, oils, batteries, bungee cords, etc through the paces to replicate real world use and some materials testing. It’s pretty fun for a review, and shows what tools are good at their price points.
Music:
David Hilowitz Music: I don’t care about his actual music so much, but he makes obscure instruments or repairs broken ones he finds in the trash and ends up with very unique things. He also makes sample libraries from all sorts of things, musical or otherwise, so you can play a version of all his weird stuff.
Cars / General Mayhem:
Garage 54: Some Russian guys with old Soviet cars that do strange Frankenstein experiments with them. Welding 4 engines together, tires made of various objects, all kinds of horrific and entertaining things!
Chef John’s recipes are always spot on; it’s rare for me to make something of his I don’t like. Sometimes they require a bit of extra effort, but he always tries to make his recipes as accessible as possible, talking about what shortcuts are appropriate.
As far as I can tell, it’s a purple state. The right republican would have to come along to pull moderates/libertarians in the state and Trump will only lose the state again - he talked a lot of shit about John McCain; that’s not going to go well. Don’t get me wrong, every state has it’s Trump cultists, but there’s just not enough.
OK, immature jokes aside; Saturday is movie night for me and my friends, and we’ve been spending the past year going through the entire Star Wars franchise in chronological order.
Tonight we’ll watch the last half of The Mandalorian season 2. We’re nearly finished!

Laden with ads and an algorithm to keep you watching as long as possible. A decade ago you could look something up on YouTube and find a quick video and be done. Now even the most basic answer is a ten minute video, which is required for monetization.
