I guess they don't consider it bluesky defeating twitter if twitter is commiting suicide. Sounds like pedantry to me.

The earliest recorded use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for warfighting occurred in July 1849, serving as a balloon carrier (the precursor to the aircraft carrier) is the first offensive use of air power in naval aviation.

If you need something more modern, these for example are from the early 90s

A currency for sure. Both crypto and not

You're confusing the ingredient list with the cooking order. Chili is a chili based recipe because that's the main ingredient, the ingredient that needs to be there, on top of which you can add other stuff.

Those are just used as aromatics, they're not a main ingredient . You can replace them with other stuff or just omit them altogether and you'd still get a Chili. But if you replace the chili, then you just get a stew, can't really call it chili anymore.

Take beef bourguignon, for example. It's a stew as well but its main ingredients, or base, if you will, are the beef and the red wine. Can't replace those and still call it that

I mean.. you can just mail it using a burner email. Simpler. Why go through the trouble of printing it.

According to google (and since the name implies it as well I'm inclined to believe it) it's actually a chili pepper based stew. With or without meat. Tomatoes and beans are common ingredients, but not part of the base.

Cannibal. To be a vampire requires her to be a mutated/magical type of chocolate, doesn't it? There's more to being a vampire than drinking blood.

A word for word translation of the french title would be "the beautiful chocolate maker/seller". Not calling her a chocolate. (Also, I'm assuming that's hot chocolate that she's carrying)

Well, sure, but Israel is literally surrounded by enemies. It doesn't seem like it because of big daddy USA. But without them they could easily team up and attack from multiple sides. Especially if they get backing from Russia/China/UAE .

I dunno, just spitballing here, I'm no expert

Oh, yeah, definitely. I think everyone's got their share of the blame. The whole thing is fucked.

Ok, I didn't look at the states that Harris won, because that would've taken longer and complicated things.

Only looked at states that trump won.

Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

Most efficient points/voter states:

Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

Georgia needed 120k for 16

Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

And Nevada needed 52k for 6

For a grand total of 400k you'd get 56 votes that could've taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would've secured the win.

Other close calls:

North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

Arizona needed 140k for 11
