(good for grilled cheese too) when the cheese is melting, force some into the pan to sizzle and crisp up. You can even toss a handful of cheese directly into the pan. The idea is to get crispy cheese bits embedded into the tortilla and clinging to the edges.

Also serve with pickled onion.

Personnel is much more apples to apples. Comparing spending between two nations muddies the waters.

I assume you're commenting on US spending, but consider that other countries don't have to pay US wages and benefits to it's soldiers, contractors, and manufacturers. If we could buy our weapons from India, recruit our soldiers from China, and build ships in S.Korea our defense budget would be much smaller without having to ration a single fighterjet.

Did you know that we spend almost 4X as much on social programs than we do on the military today?

The trees clogged the land, the water, and when one inevitably got struck by lightning, continent wide forest fires were common.

IIRC, it's these trees, not dinosaur bones that became most of the oil/gas deposits.

It's worth noting that when it comes to a species wrecking the environment, causing mass extinction, changing the climate, or spoiling the atmosphere, humans are not the first and we're not the worst.

"Cracker Barrel" refers to 19th century rations. The Cracker was a shelf stable hard-tack biscuit and they were packed into barrels or boxes for transport. You would have encountered hard tack in the military or as a poverty food.

There is a story about General Lee and Jackson meeting before Chancellorsville while sat on these boxes called the "Crackerbox Meeting"

I don't think the name is related to the anti-white pejorative.
