I’m guessing chicken eggs are as popular as they are mostly because chickens are easy to handle

There’s more to it. Chickens lay lots of eggs (like a dozen) before going broody (when they stop laying and just sit on the eggs to keep them warm), so production is high. Penguins OTOH, lay one of two per season.

Except that they are. Chickens that are actually raised free, and peck on insects, herbs and other stuff outside lay eggs that are absolutely delicious, and the meat is also very tasty. You can even say that they come pre-seasoned, if you don’t mind chewy meat.

The almost tasteless eggs/meat come from industrial scale farming that feeds the chickens with grain-based feedstock in large amounts, so they grow quickly. (source: my aunts raised free-range chickens for both eggs and meat. They were really tasty)

Oh boy, the opening of the markets on Monday will be… entertaining to say the least.

The only stocks going up will be companies that sell popcorn.

Big Cheeto was afraid the penguins would flood American markets with cheap eggs, thus the tarifs.

Not to mention it would be a buggy mess, geared towards on-line only content and predatory gacha mechanics. Remember that abortion that was the last SimCity ? It pretty much gave Cities: Skylines a permission to print money.

This will trigger the world to move away from the Dollar as the currency for international trade, which will cause the collapse of the American financial sector.

I don’t see it happening anytime soon. To rejoin, they woukd have to accept all the new rules, one of them is adopting the Euro as currency. I’m not sure the English voters would be willing to abandon the Pound. Scottish, Welsh an Irish, maybe.

It’s like you don’t know that Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo were on opposite sides of the Farrapos war or Rio Grande do Sul likes wine and São Paulo drinks more beer.

Regional cultural differences and history don’t come into question when it comes to how one country perceives others in the side of the world, so please, refrain from those simplistic ad-hominem arguments.

All the old people who voted for the Big Cheetos will be really surprised when their faces are eaten by the Face Eating DOGE Leopards and their cheques stop arriving.

I doubt their Faux News addicted brains will be able to learn the lesson, tho.

As a resident of a Continental Country that is not the US, we’ve pretty much always seen Europe as a single, monolithic thing. It’s hard for us to grasp how something like France, which is just slightly bigger than Minas Gerais, 4th largest state of Brazil, is a completely separate thing from the rest.

The project had a massive ecological and social impact on the region. People who lost their homes and farms to the lake, were still not re-settled or compensated almost 20 years after it was formed, it displaced native peoples from their ancestral lands, drowned old growth forests which caused them to rot and release CO2 and methane, disrupted the reproductive cycle of several species of fish, towns that were far from the river and then were close to the expanded lake were inundated by mosquitos, I could go on.

But hey, progress right ?

Fucking dictatorship.

Itaipu was completelly unneccessary, A chain of smaller dams would have provided the same capacity, but with lower and more distributed impact, but the fucking dictators had to show how Brazil was capable of tackling huge engineering projects.

Reasons why Ubisoft is in the shitter, facing hostility from both gamers and shareholders alike. It seems the Guillemot familly is hellbent into destroying every last shred of good will left.

That’s the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as “national security”.

Than crowd of protestors is basically half of Greenland’s population…

If he scraps the CHIPs act, Intel will be bankrupt before the end of his term. Even worse, it could be bought by a private (in)equity fund.

maybe even certainly healthier.

Fixed that for you. Anything is healthier than American “food”. Even British foods, possibly.

Calibre is the ultimate e-book manager/reader/editor. apt install calibre and you’re set.

No one will accept a deal with the US for the next 20 years. Zelensky would get a better outcome if he made a pact with the actual Devil than with those bozzos in DC.
