I do love a map that's willing to go county-level, but there's not nearly enough "contested territory" on the map.

it's the kind of setup you get when the filmmakers want to make a political movie without actually taking a political stance on anything, because having a political ideology underpinning your movie risks putting off half your potential ticket buyers

my guess based on the trailer alone is President Nick Offerman is just capital-E Evil for some reason and that sparks a civil war without really needing to dig into what circumstances could theoretically cause a civil war in the contemporary United States

the idea of someone scooping all the bread out of a bagel and it being anyone other than a jolly fat person doing it so they can fill it with cream cheese or something... to do this to make it more healthy instead of less healthy disgusts me

Let’s be clear: All bagels are great. (Except plain bagels—like...live a little for once.) But a chronic problem, as any regular bagel eater knows, is over cream-cheesing. There’s often an inch-thick layer of cream cheese between your slices of bagel, and it gets squeezed out on your first bite, covering your fingers and generally making a mess.


Does this person not realize you can like eat the two halves of a bagel? Have I been eating them wrong my entire life?

Plain bagels are good in soup. They've got the density to not turn into a soggy mess like most breads, but don't gently caress up the flavor of the soup. Just tear them up into smaller chunks first.

Probably not, but how well does that river actually freeze? Does it get cold enough, and/or is that river slow enough to fully freeze over? Seems like a lake shipping route would stay pretty open, and skipping a snowmobile across open water is kinda risky.

Plus this was all in relation to Detroit laying claim to farmland on the Windsor side. Not sure what anyone is going to be doing with that farmland in winter.

Lack of ice alone can not stop the snowmobile patrols from reaching the south shore. .

But the main point is that unless there is coordinated effort by armed forces to prevent cross-river movement, a government which seeks to control both sides of a waterway can easily do so. There isn't an East Egypt and a West Egypt split in two by an impassable river.
