This is kinda how I operate. Just listen to pandora while I'm doing other tasks and see if new songs grow on me, then every few weeks, I put all my thumbed up songs on spotify playlists.

They both appear to have 8GB. The firestick comes with a lot of bloatware, though. If the TV Box doesn't, that might work.

Yeah, I really don't understand why people always repeat the line that "Jews and Muslims have been fighting forever". This conflict is a direct result of outside interference, and it seems difficult to understand why things were set up the way they were. I need to do much more reading, because from what I understand, there doesn't seem to be a plausible explanation, other than the powers that be wanted endless conflict. Generations later, you can't ask Israelis to give up everything they've known, but the Palestinians were made to do the same thing, already. It makes sense for Israel to do most of what it does, now, in defense of itself, but it doesn't make sense that we're here, in the first place. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are screwed over and over. There doesn't seem to be a way out of this that doesn't involve one group wiping the other group out. Nobody is going to come along and say "screw ethnic and religious histories, let's just be human and share the land".

"but there’s a growing sense that it’s too late, and it’s time to do a deal,” the former senior administration official said.

It's too late because you didn't send what they said they needed to win, you ape. Unreal.

Meh, I was upset with the rise of the extreme right, but it seems like the US is passing the test. People are being tried for their crimes, election tampering, etc. Just because you build something doesn't mean people won't try to tear it down. It's certainly not perfect, but it's also not a finished product.

Tom Kippur war was 1973

Ah, yes. When the Arabs tried to dislodge the Israelis on Tom's birthday.

Want the list of the 167 banned ones. Those are obviously the ones that won't cave to the pressure.

First time I heard Blouses Blue play in Cyberpunk, it caught me off guard. Fuego by Bomba Estereo was another video game banger. Born Free by MIA went pretty hard, back in the day. That riff in Pantera's Cemetery Gates never ceases to get me fired up. Bobby Shmurda's Hot N**** is up there with the best eats, ever, and got me the first time.

What Andrew says was correct, of course, but Zelenskyy was under pressure to do something, in order to keep the inertia of aid coming in. Now that it looks like a quagmire to the casual observer, things seem a little more perilous.

I agree that the west can out-produce Russia, but I'm less confident that without the US, China will continue to stand by, if that's what you can call their current actions.

I also agree on the Eisenhower reference, and have pointed out before, that as much as people freak out about it, it's somewhat necessary. I'm a veteran, and I thought the hero worship of the GWOT was too much, but now I fear that the pendulum has swung too far the opposite way. At least back on reddit, you'd see people absolutely trashing the fools that volunteer for the military, complain that defense spending was far too high, etc. Then, as soon as things pop off, it's, "Russia better stfu or we'll come over there and kick their ass". You can't have it both ways. I'm pretty Left on most issues, but we can't even focus on building a good society, if we aren't secure, first. Our advantageous geography has granted us a lot of leeway, but the world gets smaller, everyday, and our allies aren't granted those advantages, anyway.

Curious about this, too. I can't fit stremio and iptv on my firestick, so I'm hoping to find something bigger, but cheaper than a Shield.

Ukraine has had a rough few months, for sure. It appears that the Russians have outdone their own doctrine, when it comes to the surovikin line, dooming the Ukrainian offensive. Long term, I don't think Russia has enough skilled troops to conduct another serious offensive, but I think they're content to occupy eastern Ukraine. At least until everything is replenished in twenty years, and they decide to move again. The western style of maneuver warfare hasn't proven fruitful, and that is likely because Ukraine is unable to get and maintain air superiority. But that goes back to my point - the west took too long and sent too little. It's easy to see why Ukraine is frustrated with the supply situation, and now fatigue is setting in with a lot of people in the US. We've fumbled plenty of foreign relations in the past, but this seems like the most justifiable war since WWII, and we're failing the test.

Hope you're right, but the reason cluster munitions were sent was because Ukraine was running danger low on ammo. The more this stalemates, and the longer air supremacy is lost, the worse the situation looks for Ukraine.
