Yeah that kind of thing also reinforces gender binary.

I thought people in this thread were talking about not scrubbing the inside of the machine walls and I could relate.

This comment made me realize people meant they just don't clean the basket... What the fuck

Like, if I make something that doesn't leave any significant residue I might dump the crumbs and use it again but even a little oil and it's getting cleaned.

Check out Dreaming Spanish's method and content (Comprehensible Input)

Over a year at it and my progress has been amazing. About 1000 hours now. (though I need to do more speaking...)

I can understand everyday speech, TV shows, books more than well enough to enjoy them thoroughly. I still get lost sometimes but that's expected at this stage.

I had the opposite experience with it lasting longer. My homemade sandwich loaf will not last more than a week without molding... Supermarket bread (the mass produced stuff, dunno about the made in store stuff) is packed with preservatives and seems to last at least two.

But it's so much better that it was never going to last that long anyway.

I usually make two and freeze one

I won't even get started on how that's not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.

There are exceptions for the very few things the US authorizes to export to Cuba, but in general:

  1. What are the “180-day rule” and the “goods/passengers-on-board rule”?

The 180-day rule is a statutory restriction prohibiting any vessel that enters a port or place in Cuba to engage in the trade of goods or the purchase or provision of services there from entering any U.S. port for the purpose of loading or unloading freight for 180 days after leaving Cuba, unless authorized by OFAC. This restriction is applied even if a vessel has stopped in Cuba solely to purchase services unrelated to the trade of goods, such as planned ship maintenance.

Kids don't theoretically need a SSN and they can apply for their own at 18. But it makes things unnecessarily hard.

No of course not why would the most powerful man on earth and former VP to the president who made that progress with Cuba have any responsibility to change anything.

He had the power and has not done it. It IS as bad as Trump's actions to uphold them.

I was more pointing out how Biden has done little or nothing to REVERSE Trump's regressions despite having the power to.

 

I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.

Seriously how do people write such slanted headlines it's fucking art.

Alternative title: "America continues to illegally occupy area of Cuba near Cuban military facility"

 

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus.

The clandestine operation has not been previously reported. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China, a Reuters investigation found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vax campaign. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.

Reuters identified at least 300 accounts on X, formerly Twitter, that matched descriptions shared by former U.S. military officials familiar with the Philippines operation. Almost all were created in the summer of 2020 and centered on the slogan #Chinaangvirus – Tagalog for China is the virus.

Sorry it took 35 minutes over my promised timeframe. My fault. I should've been keeping up my Ansible config not bumbling around manually. Then I would've known that I needed to uncap pict-rs' memory limit. Ah well we got there in the end.
