Hurricane was nowhere near my area but it was high enough to drive winds here and fro about in the mountains. This poor monarch flew into my sand pit to get away from the 35-45 mph winds. He was ok tho and found good shelter

Rock and Roll!

this porto foid in my building used to flirt with me, we'd see each other doing laundry and stuff, but now shes definitely getting fricked by some other guy in the block, i love her smile, shes got these kinda straight, perfectly straight, and straight down teeth, that almost look too perfect to be real. the straight-down-angle is amazing, and she has great gums when she laughs.

should have made a pass at her. i dont have the balls.

Great stuff.

Main point being:

" Sub- Saharan Africa and the United States show especially low TFP growth. During 2011–2021, global TFP grew at an average of just 1.14 percent annually. To sustainably meet the agricultural needs of a growing global population by 2050, we must now aim for 1.91 percent average annual TFP growth. "

Humanity is off by 0.7-0.8%

That's 10's of millions of extra people that won't have enough food available for them.

This is likely also what is causing food prices to rise globally.

Global population growth needs to be kept down to 0.05%.

Just enough to keep growing, but so low that every other thing being developed provides for way more than base needs for everyone.

Yes, a sooper srs(ish) post, but I'm a dumb Yankee , and I want to hear

Bibi is the plump head mensch of Yisroel. Despite being kicked out of his initial run at PM due to corruption (real or alleged), he managed to get reelected again just last year. And like any good politician, he divides people.

One side is the rightoids (ranging from your average chud to the more stereotypical Orthodox Jew ), which generally likes him because he is a trad free-market lover who is hard on the Ar*b Question, or because he supports Hasidic/Settler interests (like increased security, more border walls, bringing more Torahic values to a secular society), and all that

The other side is the leftoids/non-conforming rightoids (often either a Liberal/Secular Jew , a socialist of some flavor , or an Arab ), which generally hates him because of the above (you know, no to racism/colonialism/capitalism/Zionism/Judeofascist theocracy/etc), or that he is a cynical wannabe despot who desires to become tyrant over the Land

Since he managed to escape a corruption investigation to again become a big guy in Israeli politics, he's been making a lot of big changes to the political world ever since, namely by bringing in more aggressively rightoid influence (namely from Haredi/Dati and even Kahanist folks), and by modifying the judicial system to reduce the power it has over the nation. And like any other bigname politican these days, the actions has resulted in a dang ol' deep divide in Israeli society

That is, until the Fire Nation Hamas attacked

Much like how Dubya managed to turn a nation that was split over his election (remember the Florida recount stuff? ) into something that greatly supported him and his actions in the immediate aftermath of you-know-what , can the "Third Intifada" provide the necessary push to make even the least observant Arab-loving Labor-voting Israelite from Tel Aviv go Boppin' with Bennie Boy? ? Or is the everyday divide too big to gap, even in such a crisis like this?

(Granted, given by what happened to Bush's perception as the chicanery in Afghanistan and Iraq kept dragging on, this may not be such a good thing to emulate in the long run? )

Why did this show up in the recommendations of a Knife Steel Nerds video

Why does he sound like a stinky R*manian or Portutard whispering in his room so his mom doesn't hear while she's recovering from BJORN STORAPIKAR

Why can't we have Skyline Chili outside the Ohio Valley

Why not 60 patriots ? After all the limiting factor is ammo
