I’d highly recommend the old Humongous Entertainment games. They were high quality kids adventure games with fun worlds to explore, characters to talk to, a million different things to click on that give an amusing reaction, and simple puzzles to solve to advance the story. I’d say to start out with Putt-putt and Freddie Fish, then move onto Pajama Sam and eventually Spy Fox.

I had a blast with those growing up, and I think they still hold up well.

Certain diets and lack of critical nutritiants can make it very hard to sleep.

If you can, try:

1. Requesting a vitamin D blood test from your doctor
2. Ensuring your getting enough potassium in your diet, especially before bed. V8 juice is a convenient method of adding potassium to your diet. Salads are also high in potassium. Morton’s Lite Salt (half salt, half potassium) is another good way of getting more in your diet.
3. Consider taking a magnesium oxide supplement (500mg) with meals, as most people are deficient, and few foods have it.
4. Avoid caffeine entirely.

I always add it to a pot of chili before simmering it for an hour (usually about a teaspoon per 3lbs of meat, I just eyeball it).

If I’m making tacos, I’ll add it to already cooked meat in the pan along with the spices and water (to be boiled off), which will make it extra beefy.

Also works great in a beef or veggie stew, beef stroganoff, or vegan beef macaroni soup.

I haven’t tried it in ramen, but that’s a great idea!

Honestly, a cheap Condor carrier will be fine for most people, they hold up well.

I’d recommend getting plates from Redstar defense, they’re extremely good for the money, and they’re one of the only leftist makers around (they also sell at-cost first aid kits with high quality NAR gear, and carriers).

Your buddy may have an unfounded bias against them, as AR-15’s are in general extremely reliable, and don’t require much maintainence or cleaning for the most part, especially since most people don’t practice all that much.

A shotgun is a great choice for defense though, and often is a better choice than an AR.

This post on the subject of privacy may be relevant.

Unfortunately it was chosen somehow to start at 12:00pm on a weekday, stifling participation.

Was this intentional? Like a targeted assault or robery? Did they fully penetrate a wall?

Marmite. I enjoy it on toast, but I use it more often as a vegan beef bullion replacement and umami booster, of which I think it’s unparalleled.

I picked up the small one, the miyoo mini. It’s a pretty great little handheld with particularly good community support. The buttons, D-pad, and screen are excellent, and it can support up to ps1 games.

The only downside I’ve found with it is that my fingers can cramp up slightly if playing fast-paced games that require intense trigger or d-pad use. For short sessions it’s fine, but I wish it was able to fill the hand more for certain games. There is an attachment for it that gives it a more normal controller shape, though I’ve held off on it.

Overall a great little device, especially for the price.

That’s what I know them for, anyway :p

Asimov is weirdly dismissive of Orwell’s experience in the Spanish Civil War and the Anarchists who faught in it.

He also turned left wing and became a socialist, fighting with the loyalists in Spain in the 1930s. There he found himself caught up in the sectarian struggles between the various left-wing factions, and since he believed in a gentlemanly English form of socialism, he was inevitably on the losing side. Opposed to him were passionate Spanish anarchists, syndicalists, and communists, who bitterly resented the fact that the necessities of fighting the Franco fascists got in the way of their fighting each other. The communists, who were the best organised, won out and Orwell had to leave Spain, for he was convinced that if he did not, he would be killed From then on, to the end of his life, he carried on a private literary war with the communists, determined to win in words the battle he had lost in action.

The Anarchists were consistently under attack from the Communists, having to move troops from the front lines fighting Franco, to instead deal with Communist raids upon the anarchist communes, until they could be convinced to cooperate again as Franco would win some other battle against the weakened socialist front.

The communists then really did eventually go full ham into betrayal mode, declaring the Anarchists and Trotskyists secret fascists helping the enemy, and rounded them up to be imprisoned or killed.

It is no wonder why all that would deeply sour Orwell on Stalinist communism, and why he would write so fervently in warning of it.

Means and Ends: The Revolutionary Practice of Anarchism in Europe and the United States by Zoe Baker is a great one.

Also new for me. Looks interesting though.

Edit:

From reviews at its release, it looks like it wasn’t all that good, which explains why it flopped and slipped into obscurity.

While Rausch and Scorpia agreed on the game’s high difficulty and reliance on trial and error gameplay, she considered both the result of poor puzzle design.[6][15] She also criticized the time limit and lack of traditional detective gameplay, and called The Space Bar’s comedy strained and inferior to that of Superhero League of Hoboken, despite “some genuinely humorous touches”.
