Ok, that's a spicy cheese, & I suspect it'll go to waste, Schnucks Carolina Reaper cheese. I will say I had my doubts as to how spicy they could make it, but yeah, I'm impressed. Problem is what to use it for, I put a liberal amount in my chili, & its got a decent bite. Usually I use shredded cheese in my omelets, and while this might be fun to combine with a sweet egg omelet, I suspect I'd find it too hot unless I put a very small amount in, & I don't have a matching cheese... Anyone want it?

Dear Mr. McClure,
Warning: This document contains privileged information from Elections Alberta, and permission
from Eberhart may be required before publication.
According to Elections Alberta data, Joshua Eberhart does not vote in provincial elections. The
question then becomes how does someone who does not even vote get talked into leading a
recall? I believe Mr. Eberhart acts as a proxy for Alberta Resistance, a left-wing activist group
weaponizing recall legislation to target UCP MLAs and provoke a general election. This
approach contradicts the spirit of recall legislation, and therefore, this application is without
merit.
Kind regards,

Yeah, but the Coast Guard is still under DHS, which should not exist
DHS was created in 2002-2003 by the Bush/Cheney regime, as "a needed reorganization" for "stronger security".
The term "homeland" had not been used before by any president and is -irrefutably- reminiscent of Nazi terminology, something corporate press studiously ignored then, and to this day.
It has weaponized agencies that used to be legit, and has long been a haven for reactionary bigots. DHS itself needs to be abolished

We're looking to migrate to another Mastodon server, to one that's ideally still urbanist focused, but is a little more moderated and with a healthy admin focus. Does anyone have any recommendations of servers for an account that's mostly a publication feed of transit and land-use community journalism?
We used to live on mspsocial.net (love them!), but are looking for a server that allows anonymous access. We'd prefer not one of the huge servers where moderation is generally lacking.

@Synchro It has a great idea about time travel in that they build a box that simply reverses time while you're inside it. So if you want to go back an hour, you have to spend an hour in the box. And if you want to go back a week, be prepared to spend a week in the box and pack supplies. So it's not a trivial "jump to whenever" time travel.
They start to use it, successfully, on minor tests, and everything seems alright. Then things start unraveling...
The web becomes far more interesting when you explore it on your own instead of letting a bot spoon feed you the highlights. π It just feels more human.

As a Christian myself, I agree with this.
That form of Christianity is formed by hate and thus, when it succeeds the only one who would be happy would be the devil himself.
I can't think of a better way to scare away converts from religion then to manipulate people who are religious into acting stupid and proud.
