Master and Commander (2003) ends by promising more adventures, and it’s still hard to believe they never came. Crowe & Bettany were perfect, and Patrick O’Brian left behind more than 20 novels that could’ve sustained one of cinema’s great franchises.

In Alabama a man said "Roll Tide" to me as a greeting.

Later that same day, the same man said "Roll Tide" as a goodbye.

I asked a woman at the store what it means.

She said, "Roll Tide."

I asked what it means.

She said, "It means Roll Tide, sugar."

So I began collecting evidence. I kept a list. I am not embarrassed about the list.

I have now heard "Roll Tide" used as: hello. Goodbye. Thank you. I am sorry. Congratulations. That is unfortunate. I agree. I disagree. And once, in a hardware store, as a complete set of instructions for installing a ceiling fan.

I heard it said at a funeral.

It was appropriate. It was the most appropriate thing anyone said that day.

I began using it. Carefully at first, the way a man handles a borrowed sword.

I said it to a cashier. She said it back.

I said it to a police officer who had stopped me for a broken taillight.

He looked at me for a long moment. He looked at my face. He looked at my taillight.

Then he said it back, and nodded once, and did not write the ticket.

I wish to be extremely clear that I am not claiming those two events are related.

I am also not claiming they are unrelated.

A man at a gas station heard my accent and asked where I was from. I told him Japan.

He said, "Roll Tide."

He meant welcome. I knew he meant welcome. There was no ambiguity at all.

I have been in Alabama eleven days.

I have one word.

It has been enough for everything.

I have started saying it in other states.

It does not work in other states.

I said it in a warehouse store in Oregon. One man turned around.

He was from Alabama. He said it back. We did not speak after that. We did not have to.

I say it anyway.

NUCLEAR POWER.

IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.

IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.

AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.

IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.

THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.

NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.

NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.

NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.

IT'S EFFECTIVE.

IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.

NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.

WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.

BUT WE SAID NO.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?

ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?

Excitement over yesterday's Montreal shooting was palpable. The opportunity for politicized narrative exploitation appeared limitless: a violent attack in a Jewish neighborhood filled with key Jewish insitutions.

But then the facts emerged. The shooter's name is Seth Hatfield. The police officer he murdered was Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane of Algerian or Moroccan dissent.

The only Jewish person killed was a Lebanese immigrant who apparently was accidentally shot by one of the cops. And the shooter's lengthy manifesto had nothing to do with anti-Semitism, Israel or leftist ideology but instead relied on a nuanced and hybrid form of an incel worldview.

And just like that, interest in this incident evaporated as quickly as it emerged:

LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida.

Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama.

He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.

[Jesse Jewell @Jester2069]

This man has no idea what "power" is.

Constant reference to storage capacity and no discussion about the CPU or GPU, or ram. That's like dogging an Audi R8 because a Ford Fusion has the same trunk size at 1/2 the cost.

Steam machine prices, it's about the same power as a PS5:

- $1,049: 512GB Steam Machine (no controller)
- $1,128: 512GB Steam Machine + Steam Controller
- $1349: 2TB Steam Machine (no controller)
$1,428: 2TB Steam Machine + Steam Controller + 2 extra faceplates

To compare:

- PS5 Digital: $599
- Normal PS5: $649
- PS5 PRO: $899

Insane 💀

How they make almond milk, step by step.

1. Acquire almonds. A few.
2. Soak them overnight, as if preparing for surgery.
3. Blend with several litres of water until the almonds are thoroughly outnumbered.
4. Strain.
5. Throw the almonds away. The almonds. The part with the food in it.
6. Bottle the leftover water.
7. Add lecithin, because the water keeps trying to separate from the other water.
8. Add gum, so it has the nerve to call itself a drink.
9. Add back the calcium you just tipped down the sink.
10. Add vitamins from a tub, so the label can lie with confidence.
11. Add salt and flavouring until it stops tasting of regret.
12. Sell as natural. Straight face throughout.

How they make raw milk, step by step.

1. Milk the cow.

That is the step.

Twelve steps to make a nut do an impression of milk. One to get milk off the animal that patented it. They put the warning label on the cow.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

Anyone wondering why I'm criticizing Israel a lot today...

Your Defense Minister just said this:

"We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again. The 200,000 Lebanese residents who were in the 'security zone' are never returning again. Not one of them will ever return to southern Lebanon"

Your Minister of National Security said this:

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn."

And that's just today. You think this is normal?

a) It’s ‘Piers’.
b) I knew you’d bottle it, Warmonger. All mouth and no trousers, as we say back home.
c) On your little-watched show tonight you raged at President Trump for wanting to end the Iran war, and urged him to keep bombing. Did Netanyahu tell you to say that?

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
