Honestly, if they could get it to 26 bucks a year, I’d get it just for the 99.9% protection rating. That’s fucking awesome.

Go see a doctor as soon as you can. Also, drink plenty of water.

The article makes it sound more like a car problem than anything else. If you stay alert, off your phone, and don’t ride above your skill level in the bike lane, you will be fine.

People ride on the sidewalk in sharrows and death-gutter style bike lanes.

This is the drug I’m super hyped about. Even if it was $35, it would be life-changing for millions of people.

Battlefield 1, I liked its slower-paced combat and need for teamwork for things like ships and the heavy bomber (original, not the super heavy).

It was different than almost all contemporary shooters, and I really found that refreshing. It also had a strong art design and really looked the part for WW1, even if some of the weapons were prototypes or team weapons (which should have been cut, imo) or vehicles were tweaked for gameplay (understandable, the German tanks were extremely tippy, and the French tanks were slower IRL)

Turkmenistan has some amazing propaganda and surprisingly, interesting music on the propaganda channels. Never would want to go there, though.

The fuzzy hat horse sing-along segment goes surprisingly hard? 16:31, pre-stamped:

Ticks are one species that I hope go extinct. So gross.

The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.

I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it’s the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.

Not all of it. Just this scum.

They shouldn’t be there. The national guard is for fighting wildfires and vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people during the pandemic. They are not to be abused for idiotic political reasons, especially for protests with very few bad apples.

Ah, that’s exactly what mine does sometimes.

The other nice thing with ebikes is that they can actually haul a ton of heavy stuff for you up hills. 35c day while going up a treeless hill? No problem. It makes getting groceries stupidly easy, even if your city is blessed with insanely steep hills.

It’s also great for places with little parking, like beaches or parks. I accidentally did a 70km day on an ebikes because they are so insanely efficient. And I still had just under half a charge, amazingly.

Since 2020, we started dating two years later. We’re married now :)

The people can’t do much against an MQ-9 reaper, much less strategic bombers that can fly well higher than civilian aircraft.

If it comes to something like Red Dawn, we are fucked.

Shitcanned? Some of these people need to do hard time in prison. They are getting Americans and other civilians killed due to medical malpractice. Halting medical shipments to poor countries will accelerate various diseases like wildfire, which will spread worldwide due to air travel. Cutting food shipments will make people turn to bushmeat, a known vector for novel diseases that we have zero resistance to.

And disbanding vaccine scientists, health advisories and food/disease monitoring means American children, elderly, and immunocompromised shall die. Even healthy people will have unnecessary days where they are very sick, which will cause the economy to take a completely unnecessary hit. In an era where, let’s face it, the economy isn’t having many good days anyways.

The truly sad thing is that Pestilence and his goons halted food and medicines that prevented or suppressed serious diseases in poor countries. This will irreversibly spread HIV, TB, and other terrible diseases like malaria.

Even more worrying, people that used to be fed grains and other food staples from American farmers are no longer getting food shipments. This means American farmers can’t sell their crops to the government anymore, and the people who received food are now starving. This encourages instability, war, famine, and worst of all, bushmeat hunting, which can harbor all sorts of endemic diseases. Some have rarely come into contact with people, so they’ve never made the jump to humans as a host. But the more people hunt wild game, the more and more chances it has to get things just right in order to jump to humans and spread. This is most likely the root cause of HIV and COVID, and there’s speculation that Ebola started infecting humans the same way.

This is already a huge problem, and it’s only to get worse as climate change makes conditions even more favorable to bacteria, viruses, and most worryingly, fungi, which we don’t have many medicines for.

It’s eerie, too. They used to be the good guys. Now, they are actively evil. And they (health agencies )are the ones that are supposed to stop shit like e.coli, mad cow, and various waterborne diseases from entering our food and water supplies. Very unsettling…

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between older S3 sleep and modern sleep?

Modern construction on a budget. It uses little more than reinforced cardboard and a moisture barrier. Sometimes the cardboard isn’t even glued or nailed in. So it can literally get unfolded by the wind, and suddenly the only thing preventing your house from getting water damage is a .3mm piece of plastic wrap that you HOPE the contractors didn’t damage or install improperly.

Here’s one such house. I don’t know if it would even last a decade without significant repairs. They voided the warranty on the roof already too, so you could be out tens of thousands of dollars before you even move in.

You can mix extremely hot hot sauce (my recommendation is Da Bomb Evolution)* and water and spray it in a wide arc on the ground/grass and on your plants. Most animals HATE spice and especially getting it on their paws, which they have to lick clean. One or two times of spice events, and they won’t come back for awhile. You can respray every few weeks to keep animals at bay. Just be sure to wear swim goggles and a mask, as it can pepperspray you too. Be sure to rinse your fruit before eating, of course. But ideally, you won’t even have to spray the actual fruit.

*A bunch of us did a big wing night challenge on a ski trip, and Da Bomb Evolution is far and away the most hot and horrible hot sauce. Not a great flavor, but extremely spicy as a novelty sauce.
