For most of modern history, powerful nations have carried inside them an old imperial dream of war. The dream is simple. A crisis begins. Armies move. The stronger force crushes the weaker one. A capital falls. A flag rises. The ***** signs papers. The winner redraws the map and calls the new arrangement peace. That is the war story empires like to tell themselves because it gives violence a clean ending. It makes war look like a tool. Brutal, yes, but useful. You apply enough force, the enemy breaks, the world rearranges itself, and history moves on. That story is dying. The modern war machine can still destroy almost anything it touches. It can level neighborhoods, burn refineries, block...

My husband and I live in California. For a variety of reasons, we want to purchase my parents home in Connecticut and basically become their landlords while they continue living there. They are in their 70's/80's. We want this to be a "business deal wrapped in love" meaning we're not looking to make a profit or anything, just want to pay what's fair and relieve my parents from the stress of home ownership, while still allowing them to live out their golden years in the comfort of a gorgeous home. We plan to sell it once one of them goes and then look into a smaller single-person living arrangement near us in CA or my sister in CT when the time comes for that...

Unfortunately, things change and life changes. So I have to free up some space. This is the ultimate gaming table for any type of game. This is perfect for a centerpiece for any gaming store as well. Well over 100-150 pieces of terrain. This is the Hexengarde line that was printed and I hand painted everything (except for that one building.) Completely modular. The different terrain set ups are endless. This is a 6x4 board and clearly I have plenty of additional pieces in the totes that didn’t make the table. Looking to part ways with this entire lot. It would need to go all in the same lot. I can do free shipping within the continental US. International shipping will be a bit mor...

### December 1967 After months of jostling and under-the-radar preparations (research, mollifying interest groups, and what not), President Richard Nixon took to the television and radio air waves to announce [Project Independence](https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v36/d237), a nationwide effort to establish total energy self-sufficiency and even perhaps an energy surplus within the United States. While some response to America's increasing energy dependence was perhaps expected, certain measures seemed more drastic than political pundits first expected: a sign that Nixon was perhaps internally spooked by the almost realized prospect that several of the world...

been talking with an agent for over 30 minutes for compensation because the order was taking so long and people who cane after me got their things first, he was useless and I told him to transfer me to a supervisor since they’re probably more useless (not) just for him to tell me the same BS the other person told me. god, I was so tempted to cancel the F\*\*\*\*\*\* order while it’s in my trunk so instead of having to save $20, they would have to refund $200 worth of food for the customer, but I didn’t since its not worth it. its also funny how I waited 20+ minutes for a food order before from a restaurant and when I wanted to cancel the order, the app said it would give me 2 more doll...

Last night's dinner: bacon lemon parm buccatini with roasted green beans We've been financially helping out my parents, but they insist on buying us stuff we don't need and won't use from temu with the funds they free up from us paying their bills. Every visit is a dump of **** we don't need that they insist we'll want "because it's so cool". It'd be one thing if it's just one nice sweater from Walmart but theyre going the more is better route, so they'll take that $30 and get us 10 cheap sweaters of the most insane fabric you've touched with handwash only all over the labels and act like theyre treating us like kings. The clo...

I am cleaning out a bunch of older inventory. These are good bags! All are real leather! Here’s the deal: all bags are $100. BUT - if you buy multiples, the price goes down! 🌟buy 2, pay $85 each 🌟buy 3, pay $75 each 🌟 buy 4 or more, pay $65 each. Shipping is not included. Sorry, rates have gone up and I can’t afford to ship free too at these prices. All callouts noted. I do have more photos but these are bargain bags. We’re not going to do a photographic dissection. 😀 1. Crinkle PRDA tote. Crinkle distressed leather exterior, unsure if interior is real leather or not. Looks brand new - no signs of use.  2. Med CC black double flap. Silver hardware. No signs of ...

One particular fire exit keeps being blocked in our store and a few of us have been complaining about it. We've ALL been reminded about it but either someone or some people keep doing it. We've been told managers cannot check the CCTV to find out who it is unless someone is seen doing it and then they will be investigated. No investigstion means no CCTV review. Is this right?

Sorry for any typos, I don’t my glasses on and I’m crying my heart out. I don’t know what to do, because I’m in a lot of emotional pain… TL;DR: I (age: 22) got married to Adam (age: 27) on April 19th, 2025. On May 5-6th 2026, I found his secret instagram account that was created on July 26th 2025. He kept denying it was his and even threatened me to never come home and called me “obsessive” and “unwell” because, if it wasn’t him, I wanted to know who behind such horrible thing because that account was full of chats with women only he knew, erotic content models and he even tried to buy sex toys for men. He had blocked my old instagram account and my dad’s, it was linke...

Hi! I’m so excited because I published my first app in the App Store. But, now start the hardest part… marketing. I don’t use social media frequently so I’m very new in this world. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions about this and also off course about the app. My app is a recipe book which you can share with your family to organize the meals. So everybody will know what’s the meal of the day. Apart from that, you can import recipes from social media videos (like TikTok), create recipes with AI, search community recipes and organize the meals plan with AI. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tasty-note/id6752576344

this is coming someone who is diagnosed with bpd and I was thinking about this, so just wanted to share my experience! my previous relationship, I wasn't in therapy and I could barely communicate due to a whole host of issues between us and me having (suspected at the time) bpd, and so did they. both of us would split over small things, I wasn't allowed to wear certain clothes or go somewhere without telling them which made me lash out, but i also split on them for being late or mentioning their ex who we had a bad history with, etc. there were good times of course, but at the time when we split, it could last for days and It was really hard to deal. not saying anyone was in the ...

We are in a generational mess with many issues, that need to be fixed. ***None*** of them can be fixed without first curbing an autocratic President. I will frankly admit that the Democrats do not exactly excite me. I so wish that I heard a coherent, unified game plan from them, beyond ‘Trump is an ass’. That having been said, what this Congress (& the Republican party in general) has shown us is that, on their best day, they are nothing more than a rubber stamp for Trump. Without some checks & balances, we are inevitably barreling into autocracy. Our country - & the world- is in imminent danger. Trump’s eviction from the WH therefore must take priority, over e...

Hey everyone, I’m a dev and I’m tired of current cloud platforms taking massive cuts or dealing with insane, volatile price surges on spot markets. My co-founder and I are mapping out a decentralized P2P AI inference network. The model is straightforward: * **For GPU Owners:** You run our lightweight agent (via a simple Docker container) to host popular open-source AI models (like Flux or Qwen). You set your minimum hourly rate. **You keep 90% of the revenue** generated by your card (we only take a flat 10% commission). * **For Renters/Devs:** They never get direct access or SSH to your machine. They just query our central API, and we securely route their inference requests to you...

I'm still waiting for my first order from them to be delivered. But they have an active presence on Reddit. This was my third order from them. https://preview.redd.it/eual74vdhw2h1.png?width=1220&format=png&auto=webp&s=b394de4349b77bbd887eb85d44cf8f0ae910feee

Hey all, I'm a solo dev and Dew is my first iOS app. Origin story: I was snoozing my alarm 5-8 times every morning and It felt like I was starting the day already losing. Every alarm app I tried either let me snooze forever or required me to do math problems / scan barcodes / yell at my phone. I wanted something gentler that still made me actually show up and leave with something tangible. So I built Dew. The alarm goes off, and to dismiss it you have to type a sentence about yourself such as "I'm capable of handling today", "I'm proud of yesterday". Dew saves them in a Reflect tab so you can look back at past mornings, and sends you one notification a da...
