What about Spain's first astronaut, Luis Carrero Blanco?

On 20 December at 9:36 am, a three-man ETA commando unit disguised as electricians detonated the explosives by command wire as Blanco's Dodge Dart passed.[2] The blast sent Blanco and his car 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and over the five-story church, landing on the second-floor terrace of the opposite side.[3] Blanco survived the blast but died at 10:15 am in hospital.[2] His bodyguard and driver died shortly afterwards.[2] The "electricians" shouted to stunned passers-by that there had been a gas explosion, and then fled in the confusion. ETA claimed responsibility on 22 January 1974.

(Absolutely wild story, ya love to see it folks. )

Well for our non-American audience, Walz would be a pretty average European Social Democrat. So yeah pretty great for American standards, but for the rest of the world? Ehhhhh...

it would lose them Michigan

I think this was a big factor in the decision. Sure, Pennsylvania is now more up for grabs, but Walz helps to secure Wisconsin and Michigan with that upper Midwest energy.

Can confirm. I'd say I like what Walz has done like 80% of the time. Still a lib, but you could do a lot worse. Plus I do kinda admire that he's just some Midwestern guy who just kinda wound up there unlike career politicians. Super surprised he came out of nowhere a few weeks ago and now is on the ticket. Its wild.

Just install Firefox, head to about:config and turn some things off and call it a day.

Seriously this. Im tired, I don't have the physical or mental energy to keep up with all these new reskin browsers. I already left Chrome, Firefox can be "good enough" with the right settings.

Yayyyy finally got one on my first try

spoilerNot too surprising given a pretty decently diverse economy, with a lot of agriculture at the forefront, but poor as hell. Had to be eastern Europe.

Lol of course, it didn't take long at all before this was SOMEHOW blamed on Russia. The mental gymnastics on this one are absolutely mind-boggling.

Source from the Ukrainian Reich propaganda ministry if anyone else wants to read this shitshow for themselves.

Huh. Learned something new with today's country.

spoilerKinda surprised that Algeria is so incredibly oil dominated. I guess it makes sense, but given its one of the larger African economies, I thought it would be more diversified. Oh well. Im still going to blame the French. france-cool

Followed by the thoughts of blasting that song flying the Hindenburg into a forest fire.

One of if not my all time favorite Chapo bits.
