I remember listening to Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown when I was a kid, not knowing English at all. Great song but very inappropriate for kids, which my parents probably thought was funny.

I think the creator and writer of The Wire based the characters and plot in his experience as a journalist working for Baltimore Sun. Some characters are less fictional than others, but I think he wanted to depict and emphasize how the city works. So maybe not too far from the real Baltimore.

I think while some characters are plain shit persons, many characters have a lot of depth in them, making you feel and root for them despite being the “bad guys”.

It also shows that doing what would be considered “right” will not always work out for you.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

It’s Markdown, which is a a fairly standard and minimalistic formatting syntax.

Yeah, strange design choice since the other buttons in theUI are not pill shaped.

Aside from that things look very nice.

Would you mind clarifying what you think is misleading in the title?

There are so many things you can do between nothing and full on invasion. Your question cannot possibly be in good faith.

Yeah, I admittedly chose the latter :)

I admittedly haven’t read the material, but your quoted text sounds very vague and indirect. Perhaps there was more content that was more direct and concrete.

A lot of people don’t seem to mind it, but to me it really tastes terrible. Even if I got it for free I wouldn’t drink it.

EVs still create a lot of co2 in production so I’d expect it would incentivize people to use and demand more efficient means of transportation. Trains, busses combined with incentives to do better city planning.

EVs aren’t silver bullets. Will still be cheaper to use an EV than a car running on gas.

1. Tax carbon (and equivalents)
2. give back all carbon tax to all citizens, equally
3. Increase tax linearly over time, and let folks and business plan their transition predictably.

This will incentivize people to demand affordable transportation, transition to alternatives, get low income citizens a reason to not oppose increased cost of living. Big consumers have to pay, low consumers will pay a little but get more back.

I think most civilians in Gaza are busy trying to survive. People are starving and trying to avoid being killed. Constantly moving. Even if starving refugees did run in to one of the hostages, how and to who would they relay this information? And with that information relayed, what could the informant expect happen to the the camp that they stay in?
