You realize that Netenyahu and his fascist Likud party are the ones responsible for eliminating democracy in Israel?

Sir Terry Pratchett.
A phenomenal author whose ability to weave a story is fantastic, but was also adept at writing in jokes and references that make re-reading the novels a delight.
Flip the script. Have a bunch of adventurers hired by a guild to take out a dungeon full of “monsters” goblins, ogres, etc. See how long it takes before they realize its a mall/bazaar or that the guild wanted it gone because the mall/bazaar owners refused to capitulate to the guild.
1TB can be Recommended Chrome Ram?
Mar-A-Lago is in Florida.
The golf course that was at risk is one in New York State.
I think it might be the one that his head lawyer(Alina Habba) conned a victim of years long sexual assault by her(the victim) manager to accept a shitty deal that forces the victim into silence and to accept a fraction of what she is owed. Which, incidentally, is how she became his head lawyer.
At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?
Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.
Unfortunately its all in person knowledge from living in the area.
Coast Salish Agriculture: permanent exhibit at UBC Botanical Garden. Specifically how they cultivated groves of Garry Oak trees.
Searching Garry Oak or Garry Oak Tree turns up a fair bit of resources to read there.
In general, a bit to read about a non PNW native agriculture is a short excerpt in The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. He talks about what we consider the “natural state” of the island of Manhattan. To paraphrase: If you consider it plains or meadow, that’s not the natural state. That state was one created and managed by native people in the area when European explorers and settlers arrived.
As for their use of the western red cedar. Again, in person. For in person visits and information I would recommend:
• Grouse Mountain maintains a small collection, as well as some respectable Alpine-ish hiking in the summer.
• Sea To Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC: tourist attraction run by the local native band.
• The best would of course be the UBC Museum of Anthropology. Edit: which works with the native groups to display/restore/preserve artifacts. Its not just pilfered stuff.
Also, if they meant Christianity conquered the Celts. No. That was mostly Julius Caesar, who slaughtered at least a quarter of them, enslaved another quarter and the remainder were tricked into shit land deals for wine and Roman weapons(just like their French, Spanish and British descendants would to most of the rest of the world ~1500-1700 years later.)
No, it’s pretty arguable that the first nations of the “Pacific North West” had it ridiculously good for a hunter-gatherer society.
Which is why they didn’t progress into “more advanced” tools or housing; they didnt need to. For example, Western Red Cedar is very close to a perfect wood. Grows quickly, grows very straight, little to no knots, easily split and can be turned into fibers for clothing, but its also fairly strong and can be made into structural housing. And it’s naturally rot resistant.
Hell, they made ocean capable dugout canoes from them, as well as everything else from homes to totem poles, artwork, furniture and clothing. Then for food they had rudimentary agriculture for some items, but most of the coastal diet was Pacific Salmon, caught though spears or nets.
As far as I understand it, the only aggressive culture in the region was the Haida because they lived on relatively small chain of islands. Everyone else basically just lived and partied.
Live your life and enjoy what you can.
Be glad that you got to experience what you did.
If you have the funds, go tour things we know are vanishing, so that you at least have a living memory of them.
Automation and Beam NG. You can make cars in the former and it has tools to import them into the latter where you can drive them around.
I made a hot-hatch with a supercharged V6 that can go well over 300kph. Also have reproduced the Jaguar xj220 and an 1980s Camaro.
The former is insane, it’s just raw power. I fiddled with it and now it is a mid engine supercar that does wheelies when accelerating.
The Camaro is just hilarious fun though.
Not a sweet spot.
Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.
For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.
You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.
But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.
The US spent alledged millions, and when completed the Soviets bought the thing by the container.

Fizban Dragonborn get a much better dragonbreath and a pretty respectable ability at level 5. Regardless of Chromatic, Metallic or Gem.
And the redone Earth Genasi get to turn any class into limited Barbarian with a bonus Group stealth bonus
I now need to find a way to shift out the Hermit Crab that turns into his Eldritch Cannon for a mysteriously blue Hedgehog with attitude.
Except that the reintroduced Canadian wolves into yellowstone proves that one dead wrong.
My Artificer wants to help people.
That’s why he’s building out magic-tech that can cyborgify(steampunkify?) animals.
Just because towns don’t want rats equipped with eldritch cannons, flamethrowers or healing pulses isn’t his fault. Its a stepping stone to putting those things on people.

Oh yeah, its his party, he’s just the face.
It’s the offshoot of the same party that led Albert Einstein to distance himself from the concept of Israel back in the late 1940s.
Also, allegedly that most of the reason Hamas got to execute their October 7th plot in the first place was that Bibi had all of those soldiers off intimidating the judges that were overseeing his multiple criminal trials
