It is kinda interesting how the actual drones used in warfare look like what a movie studio would make as a mock up for the stylish drone they would use in a movie. Bare bones structure to keep it light, no aerodynamics, just the necessary moving parts and tacked on parts they need to make it work.

Slava Ukraine!

I really enjoy green olives in a gin martini, especially the ones stuffed with blue cheese.

Can't stand green olives in any other format that I can think of.

Roasted sprouts are the best sprouts!

Sauerkraut was just too overwhelming as a kid, but I love it now. Some other foods were the same, but that is the one I remember.

I liked black olives as a kid, then hated them in my teen years through early 30s and find them tolerable now.

A lot of people hated vegetables as a kid if they were made bland by boiling, and like them a lot more when they have them roasted or just with some seasoning. I remember having bland steamed brussel sprouts at home which are just awful but one of my friends roasted them and they were awesome. My dad cooked up some awesome seasoned steaks and that friends parent bought the wrong cut and cooked it well done so it opened my eyes to how much of a difference preparation makes.

I'm not saying apple will do anything about it, just that they will let the cops know what is causing the reboots if asked.

The police could just ask Apple, it isn't like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.

It is important that when we are addressing issues of sexism, that we try to make sure that the ideas are easily understood by women, men, girls, and boys so that everyone understands how to support equality. If we only focus our effort on men and boys, without recognizing the influence also has on women and girls, then it will not be as successful. For example, the social expectations of women and girls to dress in certain ways is commonly enforced by men, women, girls, and boys even if the influence is only targeted at women and girls. Not to mention the toxic masculinity that is applied to men and boys by men, women, boys, and girls that are commonly reinforced by telling men and boys to 'man up' in stressful situations.

You are right, that is smooth as butter.

Wabi-sabi is about being close to perfection, but not reaching it. Basically the same concept as hand made things having small imperfections instead of being cookie cutter.

It isn't about apathy and filth.
