If anyone is in Nashville in the future, here's my recommendation: Hot chicken sandwich - Tennessee Brew Works Fried Hot chicken (oil based) - Prince's Chicken tenders that have hot breading (oil/powder based--NOT buffalo) - Hattie B's

Living in Nashville, I have a plethora of options for hot chicken. Sandwiches aren't usually what I go for. But they can be damn good. Some of you need to come down here so I can show you what real hot chicken is. Your assholes will hate me.

I threw in some dollars. Hope it helps. It's no fun seeing a pet need surgery and being surprised by a big bill. Yay for pet insurance though. That's really good.

The fuel process does not exclusively have to arrive at nuclear weapons material. It comes back to a lot of things that bmbmbm mentioned. In the 60s, the only nuclear power technology we had was that which lead to The Bomb. Safety issues surrounding the production of the fuel were pretty common. And the anti-nuclear weapons movement was coming into prominence. All of that combined pretty well for all those boomer hippies. Now, the CORRECT analysis of it all leads to the conclusion that you CAN have green power and reduce CO2 emissions WITH nuclear power. The nuclear weapons thing can be alleviated with different fuel cycles and processing techniques and reactor designs (which currently exist). The safety issue was solely because of corporate resistance to regulation and federal regulators just not going after those safety issues (and the federal agencies surrounding weapons production CAUSING many of the safety issues). If you haven't heard of Karen Silkwood, she was a technician that worked at a fuel production plant in Oklahoma that uncovered a bunch of safety regulations the company was violating. She started blowing the whistle. And mYsTeRiOusLy she wound up being contaminated with uranium in a few instances, including her house. And as she was traveling to hand over documents to a reporter to further add proof to the accusations, she was run off the road and killed. The documents she had were never recovered. Basically, the company she worked for had her bumped off because she was trying to make work safer, which would mean fewer profits. Shit like that is why all this is intertwined.

There's been some bummers, but I wanted to share a win. I've been saving up some money through the pandemic and I decided that I was going to make a dent in my house payment. So I put down an extra $5,000 on my principal this month. I don't really know what that does to my amortization, but I'm tempted to fill out the paperwork to round my payment up to knock an extra payment off every year. OR I could refinance while rates are low.... I just don't know what the right call is in the long run. I'm not moving anywhere anytime soon. I already invest and have a good emergency fund. My house is my only payment, really (outside of utilities). I probably need to talk to a bank or something... But it sure felt good to take a big swing at my house.

Jesus christ. Dude, I'm sorry. That's terrible.

France got left out because they were hemming and hawing over the technology transfer about those specific submarines. Not coincidentally, it took France over 10 years to get the first boat of the class Australia wanted to buy in the water. So they're just big, red, and mad about the fact that they couldn't deliver and that Australia is more inclined to go with someone who can.

Between the acquisition of new submarines (that will clearly have vertical launch systems) and tomahawk cruise missiles, this will give Australia 2 of the 3 pieces they need for a nuclear deterrent. The other piece is a nuclear warhead. Australia is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty... but so is Germany. And Germany has a nuclear sharing agreement with the US.

I guess if Australia wants to spend their money on operating nuclear subs, sure...

Something something actionable threat in Minecraft.

Fuck, man. This one hurts.

I spent 5 years inside DC's foreign policy 'blob.' Here's why the experts keep getting us into unwinnable wars like Afghanistan. WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM My time at a leading foreign-policy think tank helped me understand why we keep winding up in disastrous wars — and why Afghanistan won't be the last It's possible to bypass the paywall with a quick finger on the Stop button. I thought this was a fascinating article coming from someone who spent time in the world of the Foreign Policy think tank world. It displays the way money and people flow from government to think tanks to the military industrial complex, and back again. And it's all in service of perpetuating the profit of these defense corporations through slick neoliberal policy proposals of fighting foreign imperialist wars for the purposes of "spreading democracy" or "advancing human rights." Long story short, there's going to be another Afghanistan.

Evangelical here, definitely. Southern Baptist and Church of Christ.

An ancient man being exploited by unscrupulous promoters got knocked out in a very short amount of time, likely suffering a TBI, thereby proving once again that that 'sport' is worthless because if it were a real sanctioning body the fight itself would not have gone forward due to the danger in it. Oh, and because it was so short, Trump barely got any time to commentate.

MOON GROUP PAYING BUSH FOR SPEECHES - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM HW was huge in with the Moonies because their leader was a CIA asset in South Korea and a vehement anti-communist.

I'm definitely going to check this out. I have several friends that sell essential oils and now whatever that 'pink drink' nonsense is. I hate MLMs with a passion, so this should reveal a few more reasons why.

God damn America.

That shit's going to be on the wikipedia for Afghanistan forever.

So the Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the rules and might suffer greatly for it. Great.

I just don't understand how someone with Larry Elder's views can be the leading candidate here... Do people just not care and all they see is "Democrat bad"?

Yeah, I thought contempt for the rural citizens was solely the purview of liberals. Friedersdorf slots right in there with the moneyed, well heeled elite. He can get fucked.

Holy shit at WaPo quoting fucking Alex Berenson. It's a banner week already for the two Papers of Record here in the US. It's no wonder we're in as bad a shape as we are.

Really glad to see these presidential preference polls not even nine months into the new administration.

Yes. But this wasn't an editorial, or even in the opinion section. It was presented as a full on news story. In Invoking Beau, Biden Broaches a Loss That’s Guided His Presidency - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Referring to Beau Biden with families of U.S. Marines killed in the Kabul airport bombing drew criticism, but the president remains haunted by memories of a son he described as “me, but without all the downsides.”
