Those companies have been actively cooperating with US intelligence since forever. No news here really.

Maybe it's a cultural thing? I know there are places where men refuse to cook, but most men I know enjoy cooking. That being said I've noticed men usually pick a few dishes and become really good at cooking them, whereas women wil

Yep that's correct. And the main asset that navies protect are trade routes. So you can see that they would want to protect the South China Sea since that's their gateway to the world. But the West Coast really only connects to Am

They definitely won't be parking their navy off the west coast. They have nothing to gain and the cost will be huge. China is being aggressive in the South China Sea because they're insecure about the US navy being so close. If th

Lately I've been boiling up cheap bones and offcuts. You get a few L of stock and a few hundred mL of fat – enough to last the week unless you're deep frying.

My guess is most people can do it for a few weeks, and some exceptional individuals could keep it up for longer. If there are a lot of people in the company doing 996 every day I think they're probably spending most of their time doing
