NYC pizza is the best. I stash slices of Joe's Pizza from the Lower East Side in my backpack on my way to Paris. Paris baguettes and butter are the best. I stash baguettes and butter in my backpack on way back to USA. Best Mexican food

"We just got back from Mexico. It was great!" Then "We just got back from Thailand. It was amazing!" It can either mean they assimilated into a new culture, or they went to the Marriott in whatever city. When I travel, I

Interesting idea, but how about don't let news outlets be owned by the fat cats they're supposed to be critical of? The Telecommunications Act of 1996's supposed purpose was "to promote competition and reduce regulation

1) Most MSM harped on that it happened but not its contents. Same with other leaks such as emails, paid speeches, cables, etc. The story gets out. The substance of the leaks, however, are not widely discussed. Only that it happened. 2) I cl

Freedom of speech has its downsides, yes. My only point is to _add_ to the discussion, not _delete_ discussions. We have laws in place for defamatory speech and plenty of other exceptions. Saying false things about climate change or how &qu

The mostly uninteresting Hunter Biden laptop story suppression from mainstream media, Twitter, and Facebook in a very obviously concerted effort, and only for a period of time before the election, with orders from the top is a sign that, wh

How about "fight" "disinformation" "weapons" with explanations of the truth. The 4th branch of the govt AKA the mainstream media has proven a failure of disseminating truth when it counts, and thus has eroded o

Cars/trucks do an extra special addition though: park in a lane because you're delivering something, or, ya know, doing something outside of the vehicle.

Friends, if we were all evil, this would work seamlessly. The only outstanding item: what do we name the fee? Keep in mind names already taken are service fee, small order fee, heavy order fee, pickup fee + dropoff fee, Chicago fee (regardl

California secures our freedom of speech, but in business there are protected classes, one being "national origin" [0]. So you can call someone a donkeydick but not insult them based on their nationality. I wasn't bothered bu

Is USD a scam? It's based on "faith" but pretty much works. Does that make it legit or a scam? If you have enough bombs and willing to spill enough blood to defend said faith, then it's legit? Crypto is a broad term and

This HN. They all missed the boat on crypto so it must be a scam forever. If the permissionless part isnt attractive to someone, then they can add an issue on the repo and say "trust me i'll pay you".
