The OG drug for that began life being tested (but performing poorly) for treating hypertension and angina but displayed a notable side effect. Sort of a "digging for water and striking oil" situation.

The T was actually short for Tal Rasha. Kissinger's soul shard was plunged into his body and he now fights eternally to prevent his escape.

Yuri Shvets sounds like a Brace persona who comes out when the TrueAnon studio HVAC dies

I had great success the other day with rice, red lentils, mirepoix, and garlic cooked with vegetable broth instead of water. I second "most anything can be cooked in a rice cooker"

Yim and, dare I say, yum

The benefits of a rice cooker cannot be overstated

Hot fresh rice, tuna in olive oil, soy sauce to taste

Miso soup with a scoop of 3-4 day old rice in it

The gate unentered, the threshold uncrossed, the bloody Mississippi

As for the pockets, Ms. Taymour suggests you think of them less as places to store stuff, as they once were intended, and more as architectural elements or “an accessory to your outfit.”

Let us consider that every ton of food sent as humanitarian aid by Russia is a ton of food not purchased from the US. Every ton of food not purchased from the US is x dollars that did not have to be either borrowed (with conditions including economic restructuring) or earned by selling goods and industries at pennies on the dollar to Western consumers. It does not solve the issue of developing productive forces in the target nations, but its impact is more anti-imperial than it might initially appear.

Changing material conditions to foster the development of a proletarian class is a solid theory of how to build working class power and consciousness. You might deride it as just infrastructure, but the workers who maintain and transport goods on that infrastructure (as well as the people who provide goods and services to those workers, and so on and so forth) now have more economic power and ability to organize in solidarity with each other than subsistence farmers would have against their landlords. And before anyone can build, say, a tractor factory, there must first be adequate infrastructure to supply said factory and take its finished goods to internal as well as potentially foreign markets.

Castle of the Winds is tons of fun, I remember getting part one on an old demo disc and replaying it constantly when I was a kid. Not the most complex or detailed game of its kind, but the sprite work is still fresh in my mind an embarrassing number of years later
