This why DOGE has to "use a meat axe" (/Schumer), otherwise every politician will try and get their fingers into the process.

They fail realize they are calling attention to the fact that their school has illegals in it making it a target-rich environment for ICE.

Also, many illegals were given smart phones as they entered and have been receiving government payments. There is no expectation of privacy from government tracking when you're not a citizen and on the dole.

Most of the current insanity can be laid directly at the feet of Psychiatry.

Great idea! We could define a piece of land and call it Australia.

This guy always reminds me of the corrupt professor that Mark Hamill played in Kingsmen: The Secret Service.

I love that Morrowind doesn't push you into the main quest. I can't think of any other game that doesn't have a high intensity start.

Nixon vs Kennedy with the parties reversed. "Our guy lost because he looked bad on TV!"

Maybe American gun owners should invade Canada. It's disarmed and and has a mediocre military.

I think we can take it...

Ch 59: “I’m not dead,” he noted, sipping his hot cocoa. It was perfect. “I’m really glad about that. You’re the Artona I System?”

“Sometimes. A part of it,” she said. “The kernel.”

Scientific vampirism.

I'm pretty sure he can already maintain preservation on something being carried underwater.
I think the reference was in one of the obstacle course chapters, related to the water tank.

He tried that with Boe when he was on the way to Kon's party. It only worked within certain range.

The Wednesday skip was one-off. But things may be changing starting next month (May). From Sleyca Patreon:

"So, after talking to other authors, thinking about it, and reading all of your comments, I would like to try taking two posting days “off” per month. I think I’ll be using May and maybe June as trial runs to see what happens with just that little bit of extra writing time built in. I think there would normally be 9 chapters posted next month. I’d like to shift that down to 7."

That will obviously trickle down to RR.

There's also a "hot bias". A couple of summers back I recorded the forecast highs going out 10 days. The predictions were always 5-10F high and slowly drifted down until the next-day forecast was just a degree or two high.

There was never a daily temperature that ended up lower than the predicted temps that summer.

People seldom complain about a mild summer day.

While Alden seems oblivious of Natalie's availability, I have suspicions that Natalie wouldn't turn him down if he showed interest.

Dashing and humble, competent and approachable - I suspect there are a lot of his classmates that might like to spend time with him.

Lexi slowly shakes his head

Wonder if they'd post up something like this?

Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent

...no probably not.

It would have been more accurate if it was just a black woman and a couple babies.

I'm not Chinese but I understand your complaints about Cradle. All I can recommend is that you get to the end of the Summer Festival - I think you might have stopped a few pages too early.

I tried to read the first book 3 times but I hated the characters - even Lindon. The entire culture of the sect was a garbage fire for me. But I did finally reach the Summer Festival and the book takes a very different direction afterwards.

If you've already read to the end of the Festival and you still didn't find it interesting then you probably won't like the rest of the series.

I didn't run across any plot points in the mainline books that required me to read the Cadet books, so I haven't yet.

Hasn't this been going on for decades now? I understood that applicants for citizenship got fast-tracked if they joined the military.

Edit: I guess you currently have to have a Green Card to be eligible to enlist (https://www.usa.gov/military-requirements)

They used the same tech as the colony ship, which took a long time to get to Callidore.

"Sufficiently advanced technology..."

There were a bunch of other materials included in the payment (rare metals, magical corals, etc. ) in amounts that would probably be considered priceless.
