While I understand it is nuclear powered, I also assume it has a full payload. Even if not. The optics after an Israeli minister says there are no civilians and nukes are on the table aren’t good for us to be engaging like this. He may have been suspended, but the rhetorics right now are not acceptable.

Yes, a 14.6 billion dollar arms pledge for Israel and a 100M pledge for aid for Gaza. The first trucks went on Saturday. 500 trucks a day normally pass and the US vetoed the ceasefire resolution to allow aid in so the trucks are barely moving, maybe 20 per day. What will the aid be worth when people starve. Woman having babies without hospitals, cancer centers out of drugs, people being operated on without anesthesia. Biden’s language has been inflammatory and encouraging this tragedy to expand. Compared to Obama, Clinton, or Carter, I can’t even recognize Biden as a Dem.

Just ran six jars of popcorn through my instapot yesterday and will be inoculating today with my first run of popcorn. Ordered rye but it is weeks out and didn’t want to wait so go some popcorn from the bulk section of my grocery store. Interesting to see the mix. By left over, did you do a grain to grain transfer or just mix the two as you didn’t have enough at home to fill all the jars you had?
