Among the wealthy there will always be the search for the rare and exotic. I'm not surprised that this has become some kind of distorted 'destination"

What could possibly be the value proposition here?

Guinea is hard to find. Where in PA? That's where I'm at but I haven't heard of this place.

I had hope that this would be a blip of an assault and a ceasefire would be brokered. Now, it feels almost certain that one of the most cursed regions in the world is going to be plunged into a civil war without a clear justification, and where everyone loses.

Climate change has been particularly unsettling this summer because it has felt like a constant reminder that it can't be escaped. Even if you aren't in Florida or Arizona or Greenland, even if you feel like you're insulated up in Vermont or Canada -- bam, 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.

I'm down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time

I'm not surprised at all. Even if I WANTED to move, we wouldn't be able to afford to buy our house back on the open market. We got lucky, and now we're stuck.

Building or buying up in this market feels like a dream, so we're slowly improving the house we have to fit our needs.

My hill to die on: 343's bungling of the MCC was one of the biggest daggers to Microsoft trying to catch up to Sony. Halo has never been the same since.

Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.

Great article. If Morocco's claim is rejected, what's stopping Algeria from trying to step into that power vacuum? Does Western Sahara have any sort of organized military that could resist against armed conflict over its resources?

I wouldn't be surprised if we just saw the region become a capitalism pseudo-country, with US/China coming in to buy off the resources.

I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens' issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?

First whole bean coffee? Oh man, welcome to the good stuff.

No matter what coffee purists tell you, the single best change to my daily coffee quality of life was simply going from ground to grinding fresh whole beans every morning. I will never go back.
