If you call people in the Southern US a Yankee it won't end well for you.

Ah, going the George Bush route that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. So, let me tell you about the unicorns on Mars. What, you can't prove they're not there.

Seriously though, we do have quite a few records from then since the Egyptian kings really wanted people to know about them. We also have archeological finds of where the workers lived. Also in them being given lavish tombs that regular Egyptians at the time didn't. This stuff is really not hard to look up.

By all accounts the builders of the pyramids actually had nice places to live, and a higher quality of life than most Egyptians. In truth there is literally no evidence they were slaves outside of the story of Moses.

Things can change a lot in nearly 20 years.

While I can agree with the 4K argument a bit for the hosting is expensive part, I do think it goes way beyond that or long videos. Youtube exists on a scale most don't even realize. Tens of millions of people upload content every day. We're talking thousands of hours worth of video every day.

Not to excuse YouTube for a lot of dumb decisions they made, but even on their best day the site just breaks even due to the cost of hosting.

I use Vivaldi Mobile Browser that makes it a lot more usable.

If we had ranked voting or a true multi-party system it would be fine.

But we don't. By all means, vote for a constitutional ammendment to make that happen, but don't ignore that doing it in the current system usually leaves us with the greater evil being the last one left standing.

Probably looking at all republican debates since 2015. In short, the lowest its been since Trump.

That last part is all that really matters in this case. None of them can make their insanity interesting to watch without the reality TV star around.

Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam is definitely the most impressive that I've seen.
