They were used in the Franco-Prussian war a bit.

The grass Joto starter was literally named after looking in the spice cabinet.

Also Jewish, so no Jesus

We had a couple weeks calling people “F.A.G.s’ and “M.A.G.s” for 'female ass grabber” and “male ass grabber”. As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.

China is currently boxed in by American aligned entities. Every island off the Chinese coast large enough to throw an airfield on is controled by an American ally with American military forces on it. Taiwan is of massive strategic value because it would allow Chinese vessels to access the Pacific Ocean unimpeded.

Hydrologicly they are one, two lobed lake. But for cultural and commercial reasons they function more as two separate lakes. Similar to how the Adriatic and Aegean Sea are the same body of water as the Mediterranean.

There’s not really any swing voters who are undecided. There is a massive group that is voting for Trump, and a lot of people who would rather stay home on election day. And all year it has been “Biden needs to win” but now even the DNC is horrified that he is totally unappealing. He belongs in a hospice unit, not the White House. Biden has been like this since the 2020 primaries, just now everyone has to see how old Biden really is.

And in the fucked up hellscape that is America, a fuckton of legal debt. First to the ER that saved your life and then to the mental hospital that forced you in because of your attempt. And guess what! Neither are in network so you are now am extra $100,000 in debt because you decided your financial situation was beyond salvage.

That is actually why they’rea big discrepancy between male and female studies rates. Attempts are about even but women typically choose less effective/reversible methods such as sleeping pills. Men tend to choose more violent methods like firearms or hanging which results in higher success rates on suicide attempts.

That’s why they are advocating for a tax on those items as well. Makes them similarly priced to non-UPF options while also givign money to something useful like healthcare.

Recently watched the episode were Barclay is terrified of the transporter while Geordie and O’Brien try to tell him it is the safest form of transportation ever and accidents never occur.

Like dude, every ither week something goes catastrophicly wrong with the transporters and either maims, kills, phase shifts, or de-ages someone. Or it sends you to a parallel universe. Or in Barclay’s case it gives you an infection or traps you in the transporter.

“I’m cooking” and “I’m cooked” are also total opposites.

Who amongst us has never accidentally shifted into 1st instead of 3rd?

Yeah it was progressive at the time since it stopped the military from digging around and asking your family if you are gay, especially since there weren’t even civil unions in most states back then.

What i don’t understand is why Obama didn’t pardon them all since DADT was overtirned in 2010

We still do that today, just with thr patient under anesthesia so they dont freak out about uaving a hole drilled in their skull.

It really just isn’t possible for most ooffice buildings. Think about how many bathrooms/kitchenettes are on a floor of any office building. You would have to likely double or triple that number to convert to housing, which is an absolutely insane and expensive prospect that would require gutting the entire building and resoing the entire plumbing and electric systems. It’s chraper to jist tear the fuckers down and build something made for condos/apartments.

Americans dont hate Iran on ideological grounds. They hate Iran because they are jealous of their theocractic republic and desperately eant to emulate it.

It’s een hotter here in NW Ohio than in Houston all week.

I remember beong blown away at the definition in the leaves i could see driving home after getting my first glasses.

I think most space faring civilizations would orient themselves to the the local system they are in. Same way that maps of Manhattan are always rotated 29 degrees so the avenues are running up and down the page. Out in interstellar space i think a ship would orient to the galactic plane just for the ease of navigation. It’s a lot easier for the navigator to plot a course if the ship is already oriented to their maps, e en if the computer does a lot automatically.

But I don’t think mamy ships would spend much time hanging out in interstellar space. There is just way too much nothingness coupled with a shit ton of radiation since you are no longer being protected by local solar wind

Edit: this is all assuming FTL travel. I think the expanse probably does thing things closest to reality with the bulky skyscraper shaped ships that creat artificial gravity from acceleration. They don’t have much in the way to really orient to anything since “up” is the direction of travel.
