The objections against lighter fluid are usually taste not cost wise. Never used the stuff so I can't comment.
But I think that for me this is more of a - a knife never runs out of bullets situation. If you are grilling you will have paper towels and cooking oil nearby, buy you can run out of lighter fluid.

I would think that this is a wash, because you still need something to ignite the coals when you use a chimney starter (just throwing a match in there doesn't cut it in my experience)
Soak kitchen paper or cotton in cooking oil. can get a chimney starter to emit blue flame in 6 minutes.

but the Weber charcoal chimney is in the mail, so I must burn with passion regarding grilling quietly to myself.
this is all you need.

because we both hate cleaning the grate
usually grills are self cleaning if you raise the temperature enough to glow in the dark.

Grilling. Do you grill? What do you grill? How do you grill? What are you grilling with? How often?
- Yes
- Mostly skirt steak, ribeye and pork tenderloin 3/4. Sous vide - first 3 hours warm aging at 47C, then for tenderloin and ribye to 54, for skirt - 56-7 for 24 hours, then I use top gas 800C IR grill - for some reason they are really cheap in europe https://images.app.goo.gl/HmAKhd1wsQh1874o7
- Whenever I need to impress a girl
Such thing is btw quite cheap to design yourself - just take 2-3-4 donner burners and the rest is just protection, housing and copper pipe.
good thing - you could prepare absurd quantities of meat before and it is the tenderest possible. But it takes away all the romance.

What would their alternative be?
Crybulling. Zelensky is master of that.

If Russia has access to swift, European sanctions really don't matter.

Honestly the best thing Putin could do is accept it. Ukraine will never accept it, so it is a safe bet.

This is one of those - please adopt it. Since the easiest people to be declared outlaws are the visa overstayers and people entering not at point of entry.

Leaving the polymarket here - seems to bet on Parolin and Tagle so far.

but I do feel that was the mainstream position on the Motte two years ago, and on most of the rest of the internet
Definitely not here. From the moment the blitzkrieg failed it the consensus was "the worst possible thing to have is meatgrinder, so this will turn into meatgrinder"

Historically wars always start bad for Russia. No matter if they are on the offensive or defensive. Afterwards it is a coin flip if they win or lose.

afaik the shortening of the lines of communication brought on by the german retreat considerably improved german logistics.
You can't shoot an ammunition futures from a canon. At the end of the war Germany was starved for all and any resources.

I do believe that the frontline has barely changed in the time since the counter offensive. And there are maps to support me. In 30 years we may all be dead or ai slaves, but right here right now the front line is very stable and there doesn't seem to be chance of big swing in either direction in the next few months. So aside from the body bags this is effectively ceasefire as long as the diplomacy of hammering a deal is concerned.
Ukraine may be sacrificing a lot to keep the things stable, but it doesn't looks like there will be depletion of their ability to provide meat for the grinder in next two years.

You don't need ceasefires to have peace talks. The front is stable enough so that is in effect ceasefire. Just start the direct peace deal process.

Never heard of the guy, but he sounds like Krugman from Temu. And the quoted passage can only be described as "not even wrong". Nothing there suggests that he actually understands the technologies involved. There was an old joke - they build a semiconductor plant in USSR. And their glorious leader says - this year semiconductors, next year full

Maybe a "golden" ring with high value
I would suggest to create 3 rings for the old money Wasps, then 7 for the blacks and asians, 9 for other whites and hispanics then one golden for the president.

I correct myself - Tariff implementation and execution was a mistake.

The tariffs were a big mistake.

The body count was not low. And it was unprovoked attack on US state. If the same ships were doing freedom of navigation between manchuria and japan and the japanese sunk them, without too many US casualties do you think that the reaction would have been the same?
China doesn't want japan, if they want korea they just have to wait, so the only possible hot war is over taiwan.

On the other, I think technological edges are much more likely to matter in sea combat than in land combat
But the war in china will be naval combat for US and land combat for them.
Now, it is quite hard to sink a super carrier
I think this notion will be challenged at some point. Fairly sure that things are more fragile than expected.
Shoot them at the leg is different. If there was strong castle doctrine, killing them would be the best option.
Dealing with another country military is a bit more like trying to kill a made man. Scaring them away is usually the better approach unless you are prepared to wipe their entire organization away.

China showing that they can bitch slap US naval power, but choosing not to inflict massive casualties is absolutely good for china. You can destroy as much material as you like and as long as the body count is low it will be shrugged.
I think that a lot of people still live with the first seasons of good eats, not realizing that the 80s suburbia is long gone. More and more briquettes are pressed dust with some starch as binder. And they deprive themselves of the brilliant asian briquettes with hole - those things can make your local blacksmith passing by to ask if they can use your forge for some minor work.
