I am reminded of Benjamin Franklin's "Fart Proudly"

Well, after looking through, I saw that some of my favorites are not on here.

Kraut: makes well thought out video essays on politics, history, culture and everything in between. He also tells you his reading list that went into making a particular video.

Adam Something: bit of politics, bit of urban planning, bit of shitting on Elon Musk, bit of shitting on stupid ideas.

The Great War: started in 2014 doing week by week of the first world War, 100 years after it began. Now is doing a similar series on the second world War.

The Operations Room: breaks down historical military operations minute by minute, incredible level of detail.

Korean Englishman/ Jolly: Josh and Ollie a couple of British guys introduce korean food to people and on Jolly they go get into other foods and hijinks

Townsend: showing what life was like in early colonial America

So.. at what point will paranoid people start screaming at their keyboards while typing, "just in case"?

"Florida man punches DeSantis in the dong" is a headline that would be funny.

I think you're right, there is likely an Irish version of hogwarts. I base this more on the Irish having their own quidditch team than anything else.

Oh I didn't write it, I meant to say I had it saved.

I have a large write up on this from the Daystrom Institute on that other site. I don't think there are rules against linking there, so here you are: federation citizen's migration guide I know this is only tangentially related, but it does have the idea of locals deciding how to allocate resources. And a summary of another daystrom discussion that I remember: Sisko's restaurant might have significant cultural value, so the city council allows him to operate his restaurant as long as he has patrons to his restaurant. Hence why he's concerned about turnover, even though money doesn't exist.

I can't find the saved link to the second discussion about why sisko cares about turnover, sorry

With respect, your excellency of avarice, training a chihuahua to kill is a bit like putting a stick of dynamite on a tactical nuclear warhead.

(I'm only joking, I've met tons of chihuahuas who were wonderful.)

As far as the physical books, barnes and noble made a collectable edition, which I have on my shelf and is a beautiful book. Also the price isn't insane, you can grab it here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/barnes-noble-leatherbound-classics-the-foundation-trilogy-isaac-asimov/1106658785
