'House' is a common shortening of 'House of Commons', the elected portion of Parliament. Parliament as a whole also includes the Senate. The distinction matters here because the tax cut has not passed through the Senate as of yet.

US history is a little more than unblemished, though. Hell, not even history. They are literally arming a genocidal state as we speak.

Just in general cast iron has this sense about it like people think it's made of gossamer and not a chunk of literal iron. They aren't that delicate. Even coarse scrubbies are fine if not applied too firmly.

Sweet and salty is a good and valid flavour combo.

The obesity rate is high and increasing because the environment humans exist in changed. We aren't fundamentally different biologically than we were 100 years ago. Our food system very much is different from then.

Are we really going to have to start saying 'genos-unaliving' to get around content filters?

It's not especially challenging if we simply refuse. 2% is fine.

Of course the idea is that 5% of our budget goes to American weapons. Just another shakedown attempt from the wannabe gangster president.

I wasn't expecting an article from windowscentral.com to be that pro-SteamOS over Windows.

People understand the concept of, "no infinite growth on a finite planet," but then refuse to accept that that holds true for us as well. The world population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Obviously we can't do that forever. Especially in the context of a climate crisis that is making less land livable over time. For completely practical reasons we are going to have to set up some kind of system that can function in equilibrium rather than requiring growth.

I'm not a real fan.

Observing from outside, UK politics looks really grim.
