I know I don’t have the skills to drive one (at least not yet lol) but those things are engineering marvels.
I’ve always wanted to see one invert at speed to see if their downforce really is enough.
I can’t imagine all the materials sciences that go on behind the scenes.
I’ll take F1 over Nascar any day.
Disclaimer: I’ve never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are “turn left” or “winding, twisting course” I think I’m going with the one that has more variety.
I posted a Stargate meme to the Stargate page. One post in a month.
Over a hundred people up voted, so it’s got some lurkers at least.
I imagine a LOT of people are lurking and just waiting for their pages to be more active.
ITT: Addicts trying VERY HARD to justify why they relapsed, and just like addicts getting quite upset that someone suggest they not relapse.
“yeah but it’s just for…” “I only use it because…” “well until other things get better…”
Well they sure as fuck can’t get better when you run away looking for an answer instead of asking someone who might know.
While I agree immediately jumping to “Russia is backing this” is a small leap, this is hardle sophisticated, and hardly new. Russia and the US jave been involved in proxy wars for decades. Literally as long as either has been around, more or less, but pretty open about it since the cold war.
And hamas officials meeting with putin in Russia doesn’t sell the “Russia isn’t behind it” story either.
I believe it’s certainly possible, if not probable, but given tensions in the are never easy in occupied Palestine, it’s no surprise an oppressed people hit back once in awhile. It doesn’t take much prodding.
Maybe they should have stopped short of bullying terrorizing and straight up murdering civilians for checks notes walking home decades ago, then people might see the more sympathetically like Ukraine.
Ukraine is by no means perfect, I have known quite a few from my more religious teenage years having gone on a church trip. We had a woman named Ina attend our church for many years, and although she stopped going (same) I see her around town all the time. My point is I’ve heard stories for decades about the bad and the good. Israel has a lot of catching up to do if they want sympathy.
And also Ukraine didn’t respond to Russia invading by blowing up hospitals, schools, and Russian refugee camps in Sevastapol.
The moment I get notified, I’m canceling.
The high seas are easier to sail than ever, and options abound for VPN.
My hat could use some light dusting.
… Which has nothing to do with the post.
“for convenience, every house number shows a flag”
I could live there my whole life and probably get them mixed up if it they didn’t do that. Not that I’ll ever even see the place, but still.
Why do you think their bicycle infrastructure is so damn good
I’d love to have that kind of cycling stuff where I live.
“worry you can’t point out the literal war crimes of one side of this three sided war, because one of the other three sides also commits them”
And if you point out the hypocrisy, you’re a nazi or anti-semite. Because apparently the government and military of the country of Israel represents ALL jews.
And I guess bothering to point out that the situation isn’t a simple “take out one group and MAGIC PEACE!” solution that people seem to be implying. Plus the fact that anybody slightly questioning the official story gets shit on when the official story is basically the exact excuse the GOVERNMENT (not the people) of Israel has been waiting for to get what they want, and have made no secrets about for decades.
Maybe if we hadn’t stuck our collective noses in it for the last 80 years, they’d be a lot better off.
Honestly I don’t see how it could be LOWER. I have a very dim view of the US Healthcare system, particularly where insurance companies are concerned.
Why do the surgery that only has a 93% chance of success that will give the person use of their legs, that costs $250,000 when a $300 wheelchair will get them from A to B.
Given that I have had to wait MONTHS for an appointment before, and my primary care Dr I have to schedule 2 months in advance, when people complain that they’ll have to wait longer than a week to see a doctor I wonder who they fucked over to get Healthcare that quickly.
Hamas represents all Palestinians the way Israel and the IDF represent all jews.
That’s because people don’t pay attention. There have been several times over the last few years where I see a story of IDF leveling an apartment block or executing a group of people, it’s always hand-waved as “they were terrorists, trust me Bro I’m looking at the evidence that I can’t show you for security reasons”
And the world turns.
Days later one of the victims sorry TERRORISTS stabs an IDF soldier on the street? PROOF THAT ALL PALESTINIANS ARE TERRORISTS is the gist of every news outlet.
When you move into your neighbors pool house, don’t be surprised when they chase you around with a baseball bat.
Yes, it IS unfortunate that civilians get caught in the crossfire. But when one side started by targeting civilians, it’s not as simple as “these guys are terrorists and the people who fight them are inherently good” like a shitload of people are trying to make it out to be.
gestures wildly at the world ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
What a long winded way to say “I am a piece of shit who likes to see others suffer, because feel I am superior.”
Either you stand to unfairly gain from the current system, or you’re an idiot who not only listens to companies like Walmart tell you about “welfare queens” but buys it hook line and sinker.
Or you’re a troll, I guess.
Because if you think what you pay in premiums is less than what you’d pay with properly managed universal healthcare, you’re simply stupid. Not ignorant, stupid. Unable or unwilling to learn.
Next you’ll tell me ALL tea is sweet tea!

I think they’ve all taken this to heart, like good Ferengi.
