I got my glass Oggi moka pot on sale at Grocery Outlet, a “last chance leftovers” type retailer, but I have learned to work with it, and can make a decent cuppa when In get things right.
My moka is also only a tiny 3 cup model, and to get a little more volume, I pre-wet my grounds with hot water so that a little less water volume doesn’t get absorbed by them.
Maturation and fruiting happens suddenly
My point is that the US used to have a lot of rail infrastructure, both inside cities and for intercity travel, but scrapped most of it, and neglected what was left, mostly in favor of building freeways for automobiles.
Therefore, as relevant to this subject, we don’t have bullet trains.
What strategy?
More like geography. Iran is on the Strait of Hormuz on 2 sides, and no amount of firepower can overcome that.
This, right here.

If the drone is low enough for this guy to explode with a sling, it’s already reached its target.
Also curtains for him and everyone within the blast radius.
Treat one of those well, and it will serve for generations in your family!
To get instructions from your refrigerator that is already part of a botnet.
Pick fights with your spouse carefully:
With this one, I wouldn’t complain that they never go out to dinner, the movies, or on vacation.
By 2018, China and Russia were able to agree on the same chipset, giving users “access to the total of GLONASS-BeiDou zone coverage, which spans across 40 functioning satellites” and “encompasses the Earth’s entire surface,” according to GLONASS President Alexander Gurko.
The bad news is that most “Western electronics” are Chinese electronics, since so much of it is manufactured there.
Here in the US, some articles are free, but others are paywalled.
It’s unpredictable.
But I understand the need to raise money, given the BBC’s budget woes (free article) from the decline in UK TV license fees from less people watching traditional TV these days.
I’m sure in the UK it’s free, possibly elsewhere.
Russia: We are losing on the battlefield, therefore we must kill more civilians.
Didn’t they do that already 1 month ago?
