I recently picked up an Owala 40oz that tapers to fit a cup holder. Stainless with double wall insulation. Lockable lid. Replaced the plastic straw with a stainless one. Having the option to chug or suck on a straw is really nice. I just wish the lid and mechanism for drinking was also stainless instead of plastic. I also prefer a paracord handle that detaches on one side so I can attach it to a bag instead of the ridged attached one.

Thank you for the additional color. I’ve participated in dozens of parades. This one strikes me as very weird. So, good on Mamdani to sit that one out.

Yeah, it’s not my intent to make what amounts to an ignorant comment. My thought has always been that Cinco de Mayo and St Patrick Day celebrates cultures - not blatently stating that it’s a “country” celebration… The title of this parade, from an outsider looking in, doesn’t seem to emphasize the culture, but rather the country.

Around my area, we have the Polish Day Parade. The point to celebrate the Polish culture. In this case, calling it an Isreal Day Parade seems to bring the country as the subject, not the culture and not the Jewish religion.

I never knew of the existence of an “Isreal Day” parade. Is there any other country focused parades out there? I don’t recall there being a British Day parade or Mexico day parade.

It’s probably something comically small. Like $5k. Most politicians are cheaper than we think.
