Thanks.

Lasted about two hours, batteries were frying them so they took out the batteries trying to shut them off, but they just kept working due to ambient current on the lines.

It also brought up how much more random it is, it’s not like a hand grenade that expands equally. It’s more like someone threw a bunch of loose bottle rockets in a camp fire. They’re all going to go off, but the chances of hitting one specific spot is low. Obviously we’re all spinning and hurtling thru space too, so it truly is just random fucking chance.

Still not a “big” one…

I think it was late 1800s America got hit by one that allowed unpowered telegrams to be sent nationwide for like, a while. If we got one that strong in the modern era, it would blow every single electric transformer on that entire hemisphere. Not just hit the safety and cut out, like actually explode and be permanently destroyed.

Those things are already difficult to produce for multiple reasons, and losing them on that scale would take over a decade to recover. And it would obviously happen in the wealthiest places first, and global demand would mean other places can’t afford to replace any from normal breakage, along with driving up the price of a lot of materials used for other electronics.

We won’t see it coming either. Like, the article says we’re predicting more the next few days, but that’s because these are always happening, and when there’s one big one, there’s likely to be other big ones.

It’s one of those things you can’t unlearn once you realize we’re at a constant risk of something that would basically ruin society. At least it’s a coin flip if it hits anywhere specific when it happens. Because eventually it will happen

Prebuilts have become about the only way to get a deal for a while now.

Why do people feel the need to do that to themselves?

None of us are in her orbit, she does not interact with an average person.

All the women in her circles look like that, and we all (to varying extents) want to look like the people around us. You don’t even realize it, but it’s a thing.

Now, what makes high level cosmetic surgery so bad, is that it is insanely expensive and done by world class surgeons. So rich women started out doing things that made them conventionally more attractive in subtle ways.

Poor people want to be like wealthy people. So they got the same surgeries done at a lower quality.

But older wealthy people want to look like current younger people they see. And for Hollywood that means young women who couldn’t afford good cosmetic surgery but felt they had to get it and didn’t want for their faces to finish growing first.

What were flaws then become intentional, and since it’s easier and still being done by the literal world’s best, the result comes out almost identical regardless of the face that went in.

We’ve went thru that cycle a couple times. But there’s no signs it’s stopping, shits gonna be real weird in a nother couple decades.

You start with the result you want and work backwards:

C. Everything Biden did should be undone.

B. Biden did something frequently

A. Say any use of innocuous thing is invalidated

You see it a lot online, when people say X is true because of Y. But if they admit Y is flawed, that doesn’t change their mind about X. They’ll just invent a new reason.

You say Cloaca and it’s one of those words everyone’s heard but don’t really understand…

Combination but vagina

Really gets the point across

Weird…

Could have sworn she had tiger blood coursing through her veins

Reminder that her daughter’s dad is Charlie Sheen, meaning that at the height of his crazy, Kate was shacking up with him

She always seemed intelligent, but I think it’s just because she has an English accent

Like, she doesn’t even know chickens have a combination but vagina, and we’re supposed to take her word on this?

There’s a non-zero chance her daughter and the boyfriend are fucking with her too. Even if I saw an egg come out of someone’s but, I’m gonna take the logical explanation that he or someone else put it up there. Especially since it was apparently hard boiled.

It’s a big club, anyone that’s not fascist is in it by default…

Why do you make a handful of accounts a day to spam posts?

Why not just use the same account for more than an hour?

Weisenburg and Thomas had plans to purchase a sailboat, firearms and ammunition as well as recruit homeless people from Washington, D.C. to serve as their “mercenary force” as they invaded the Island of Gonave and staged a coup d’etat.

Weirdly specific that they wanted to go from North Texas to DC to re ruit mercenaries to invade Haiti…

I’m watching the press conference now, and I think a big part is Mamdani talks with his hands and has a bunch of giant flashy gold rings on.

trump just zones out like a baby watching someone jingle keys, and then says “I love this guy!” Probably without even realizing why.

I had to go back and look at old pics, he always wears them, but they’re insanely shiny in this video. I think he got them polished and trump has “jewelry store lights” that accentuate gold to make his spray painted home Depot shit look real.

So you come in with freshly polished real gold and it’s mesmerizing in comparison

In a logical world it would be. But criminally I don’t think anywhere differentiates type of weapon other than “firearm” and “deadly”.

They need to fully separate it from date rape too. Back in my younger days I knew 3 different dudes who got dosed out at bars. I highly doubt they were intended rape victims, but a lot of robberies start out with someone slipping something into your drink, then getting you in the parking lot.

Drugging anyone for anyone reason should qualify as attempted manslaughter. Which, counter intuitively is a real charge.

It makes it easier to charge rapists too because you don’t have to prove rape, and can even charge them before a rape happens. If you can prove rape, throw it on top as additional charges.

I mean, they literally are weapons…

Potentially deadly

Sessions at the summit, which Nature attended, covered a wide range of health-related topics, including psychedelics, brain implants and anti-ageing therapies. Academic researchers or clinicians were not among the speakers at the sessions, which were peppered by comments critical of the medical establishment.

I don’t know if that was an intentional joke, but fucking hilarious to add that.

The molehill is your focus on the word believe

If I walked up and took a sandwich out of you hand and ate, would you say:

I believe that’s my sandwich

And expect me to give it back? Or anyone to help you?

Or do you think:

You just stole my sandwich

Would be more effective?

You’re acting like this is one isolated incident with zero consequences…

And I readily admit, I over estimate people’s critical thinking abilities, but it seems very clear with how Israel and Russia treat borders, and how chummy with them trump is, that this could very likely be the start of the same behavior.

But like I said, I often think shit is ridiculously obvious just to find out other people just can’t connect the dots.

I’ll never understand why people get so belligerent instead of just asking questions till they understand.

Can you at least tell me why you didn’t want to ask questions when you ran into something you didn’t understand?

It’s a widespread issue, and I legitimately want some insight into your choices here.

You think a hostile nation’s military headed by a demented narcissist showing up on another country’s sovereign soil and placing signs that it belongs to a different country…

Is a molehill?

Buddy, if you don’t understand why something is serious, I’d highly advise you to ask questions instead of loudly proclaim it’s not a big deal

What??

This wasn’t a random place, it’s a fucking beach with people who go there routinely…

What “great lengths” did you think it would take to determine which side of Trump’s ridiculous fence this was on?

You think people that live and work right next to the border, are unsure about where the border is?

You think it’s something you can accidentally wander across?

Mexico knew that beach was theirs, but when pushed they said it might be instead of saber rattling that America just tried to seize a fucking landinghead

They also said unauthorized access or photography was not allowed in that area and that ‘if you are found here, you may be detained and searched.’ Mexico’s foreign affairs ministry said its navy removed the signs from the sand, which it believed were on Mexican territory."

That’s the result they wanted.

It’s Mexico, clear as day, but Mexico just waffled on it and said they “believed” it was Mexico.

They’ll take a page out of Israel’s playbook and start saying “until we figure this out, it’s a buffer zone”. Then just keep expanding it and not obstructing Americans from “settling” there, once they’re established, then it’s obviously America because why else would Americans be living there?

NK is so pissed because a single SSBN pointed at wherever Kim is would prevent NK from ever launching any kind of attack.

If all of SKs nukes are on land, it’s conceivable (but very unlikely) they could somehow take them all out before they fire.

An SSBN is a deadmans switch. You can glass an entire country in an instant, but the SSBN will still get you back.
