I'm pretty sure he got that fixed. I don't notice it on his newer stuff like the new top gun, at least

There has been a concerted effort by the US Govt to remove as much Indian culture as possible. Moving tribes from their homelands to reservations where the plants used in dishes are different, forbidding native languages, taking kids and schooling them to be white while they're a thousand miles away from home to prevent cultural passing down, all adds up to a loss in recipes and traditions.

Indian tacos, while delicious, aren't exactly traditional because they're made with flour and other ingredients supplied by the US govt.

However, there are other things that have lasted - wojapi (berry sauce), kanuchi (nut soup), and some others. Mainly things that could translate between regions and be orally retold until they could be written down. Now it just takes a Google search to find them.

But overall, it's hard to build a menu on pre-contact food. There's a few restaurants, but it's not easy.

The Cherokee Nation has an annual bike ride following that trail, and when it started in the 70s there wasn't any indication as to where the path was. Today, there's a lot of markers (many funded entirely by the tribe) that indicate special spots along the way. However, there are still a lot of unmarked, unknown graves. They get found every so often, as a testament to how many died that no one recorded.

That's a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.

However, the size doesn't fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!

He should drop an album while he's on top!

If the computer can do transports, why is O'Brian even in the transporter room? Just to suffer? Fucker doesn't even get a chair. Stare at the wall for 8 hours, standing straight because your can't even lean.

Who did he piss off?

We won't understand until it starts happening to us. Not to worry, it'll hit everyone soon enough. The ones already alive today in our cushy first world insulated biomes will feel it.

Unfortunately, only the ones without the power to make any changes will be the ones that suffer most.

Yep, that's exactly what it did. Maybe there was a way to do it, say if you had a VPN, but people picked up pretty quick to ban a single IP.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

This is the first I've heard that they're planning other engines other than the hydrogen. Which I certainly hope for, as hydrogen-only would put it out of reach for a lot of people due to how impractical it is to find a hydrogen fueling station right now.

My other concern is that they won't make many of these. I'd rather it not be a 1 of 500 that sit around in collector's garages collecting dust.

I haven't heard it, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
