It’s fantastic, I am usually skeptical of alternate history as they tend to be lazy and are often masturbatory, but this book is great.

Yeah, I was trying to be careful with my comment not to imply the reason for secession was “states rights” since there are still plenty of idiots who are happy to bang that drum.
They didn’t secede because they were told to stop slavery. They seceded because it looked that the national consensus was moving against the expansion of slavery to new states and territories, which would have limited slave states overall power in the long run.
They were very explicit that they were leaving to protect slavery as an institution, but to be fair nobody in power was threatening to abolish it when they did so.
I really liked rebels a lot (especially once they improved the textures). I just can’t bring myself to get invested in Star Wars anymore given Disney’s handling of it thus far.
The last season of the Mandolorian wasn’t even good. It spent most of it’s time setting up other crap I am not interested in. There really isn’t anything they can do that will make the premise for the sequels not a lazy regressive pile of garbage and it’s dragging this show down with it. I didn’t even bother with Ashoka since that looked like it was going to be even more of that.
New Haven is generally thin crispy crust cooked in a coal oven and a bit charred on top. Basically a NYC pie cooked in a hotter oven. They might do the sauce a bit different, IDK.
Chicago’s thin crust/tavern pizza is far better than deep dish. That’s what they should be promoting.
Neopolitan is floppy in the middle more often than not. Still usually delicious, but it’s not what I would consider to be the platonic ideal of pizza.
They have to get usable at some point, but I got tired of the (shitty off-brand) smart watch I had after a couple minutes. I replaced it with a fully analog Seiko watch and a fitness tracker ring.
Way easier to manage and still meets the needs addressed by the smart watch.
You understand though, he was angry in that situation that he was going to face consequences, it’s totally different.
It’s so stupid though. The German conservative aristocracy wanted fascism (mainly because they were incredibly unsettled by the post WWI shake ups and terrified of bolshevism) and thought they could control the Nazis to their own ends. That pretty much immediately backfired on them. These people have to see that…

I think I have seen Central America referred to as a sub continent, but that doesn’t really make sense other than to create a formal differentiation between them and USA/Canada.
Yep my wife is an expatriate of Iowa, they are a surprisingly prickly people about outsiders.
One thing that I (seemingly incorrectly) kind of disliked about Ascend was that if was so focused on kind of being an e-sport. My favorite part of the original were the havoc and ultra renegades mods and bringing it heavy weaponry to try and crash through the other guys base before they could do us. The new games feel like you just see the lights zipping through at 300kph and my reflexes can’t keep up with that anymore.
Yeah, it really depends on the dealership (which I will admit sucks). We bought a Hyundai earlier this year at a dealership (at the recommendation of a body who is a mechanic for that brand at a different dealership) in NoVa and overall it was a really great experience.
It’s been a while since I watched it. Could you elaborate a bit?
Dreamcast also had fairly poor 3rd party support aside from Namco as I recall. I agree they could have made hay in the West, but that was an uphill battle without EA and I think Activision really bringing anything to the table.
In hindsight they should have done a twin stick controller too. I liked their controller, but the Xbox controller was that that should have been.
