Dad, I'm hungry!

Right, what do I cook for tea?

Errr, McCain chips. These will be good.

You know they'll come out nice and crispy if you cook them in a rye fryer?

Just say, Alexa, open McCain, and Alexa will help you.

What? You mean if I say Alexa, open McCain, Alexa will open the bag of chips for me?

Not literally open the bag of chips for your dad, but Alexa can tell you how to cook them

and give you ideas for tea.

Ah, okay. Alexa, open McCain.

Well done, dad. Such a tech wizard.

Chip, chip, hooray.

Crispy air fryer perfection with McCain.

Debating the ends of wars.

We've been looking at not only our circumstances in the first century AD,

and we can see ahead there's some bumpy roads for Rome over the next centuries.

We can see into the 21st century. It's a trick.

And we enjoy philosophizing about how global north, sometimes called Europe,

is going to extract itself from the quandary of the Ukraine war with the Russian invader.
