I'm 60. I would argue that 20 years is not a long time. Keep pushing.

Islay Scotland has burned a shitton of peat over the last couple of centuries to make malt whisky and it's very small. Wonder how much if their elevation they've burned?

Change won't come overnight (at least without revolution). Like evolution, it requires constant pressure on the system. Changes that are too radical kill the organism.

A long as people think we can jump from Geoge H.W. Bush to Bernie Sanders in one election it's going to continue to fail.

Votw Harris this time. Vote for the person slightly more liberal than her next time, etc. It's a process.

You can find it on YouTube.

My wife is there.

She's gotten two knee replacements this year and is scheduled for a hip replacement before the end of the year. And last night I reminded her she's been meaning to go to a dermatologist.

Google makes money on ads. They make $300-$400 annually per user by displaying ads.

They are motivated to tarpit you in order to show you more ads.

Giving you your results quickly and efficiently costs them revenue.

Use kagi, or another search engine.

Yes, he has played a significant role in past elections all the way back to Reagan, and you haven't noticed.

He's an intellectual pundit that was on Fox News until 2017. He writes political commentary for the Washington Post; his column currently appears in 415 newspapers.

He won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary.

He continues to appear on MSNBC to this day.

He's also considered to be a baseball expert who has written extensively on the subject including his own book. Their "baseball fan" comment was intended to be cute, I think.
