Just hold on for a while. If those deer keep at it, at some point the wolves will multiply and become a greater force to control the deer population.

Unless they're the same sex. In that case, you're shafted.

This is the kind of parenting that may lead to kids leaving home & disappearing from the parents' lives the day they turn eighteen.

Am I seeing this right? Are you calling one of the defining works of Fantasy literature a "Christian book?"

He's right though.

Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).

Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.

I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone's mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.

With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I'd say less is more.

A step heavier. For the London example, think more like the Overground, the Purple Train or Thameslink. Or the many railways radiating out.

For other examples, think systems like the LIRR in NYC, the RER in Paris or the S-bahn in most major German cities. (though the Berlin one functions more as a metro that's just legally a train)

Re: legally a train
Metros and anything lighter are governed by different laws than trains. So German U-bahn is legally a tram, governed by the BOStrab, while S-bahn is legally a train, governed by the EBO

According to one source, the only media that for a long time made it into the states is media that the US government approves of. I could go into detail about it, but it shows up quite prominently in this video.

Christian conservative ancap propaganda to be more precise. The guy behind it was once recorded saying "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem."

I remember someone got into such a billboard and replaced the ad with IKEA-style instructions on how to replace the ads in those billboards.
