When it goes up, your boss buys a mew boat. When it goes down, you lose your job.

People don’t realize just how far north Europe is. The French who first settled Montreal got there in the summer, and seeing that they were at a similar latitude as Paris, prepared for a Paris winter.

They had a very rough winter.

We had uniforms that dod a great job of taking most of the grime for me. But operating a Banbury was the dirtiest i have ever gotten at work.

Pass a full panel drug test and have a pulse

Damn, he didn’t have to do UT San Antonio dirty like that

Used to work at a tire factory and we got paid $1.50 a shift on shower time. I absolutely needed it with how filthy i would get each shift

Why would you pay for the stove when you have two personal heaters that work for free?

Because from 1990-2022, “fight for your country” meant help the US invade some country in the Middle East. No shit no one in Germany or France wants to do that.

They essentially just want a return to feudalism, but they know that would get them laughed out of any serious discussions, so they dress it up as “economic liberty”

India would be amy Libertarian’s wettest dream if only they weren’t incredibly racist. Worker’s rights are almost non-existent due to a neverending supply of fresh labor at any skill level, barely any environmental regulations enforced by the government, and is essentially just a capitalist free for all.

Of Ukraine is anything to go off of, initial success in repelling the invasion will lead to a nationalistic wave of support, but as the war devolves into grinding attrition with China unable to get a foothold on Taiwan and the Taiwanese unable to do anything about Chinese firepower raining down on critical infrastructure, the population will want to find some sort of peace deal.

The Fed isn’t earmarking the money to dig up and replace each pipe. It’s grant money for municipalities to apply for to fix their pipes. So maybe it’s gonna cost Citytown Ohio $24 million to swap their pipes. The city can issue a bond for $16 million, get a grant from the state for an additional $6 million, amd a federal grant for the remaining $2 million. Meanwhile, the federal government wont issue anymore funding for their water treatment facilities until all the lead pipes are removed. So Citytown can either get off their ass and start digging up pipes next month, or be SOL when their sewage treatment facility needs an overhaul in 8 years.

If a blue shell os able to send you back to 12th, that sounds like a skill issue. Drop back and ensure the shell takes out second place as well.

Well, it’s definitely fall here on Lake Erie. Crisp autumn air, although the harvest is going on and it’s wrecking havoc on my allergies.

At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn’t have a game to show for it.

A Sarasota impact is preferred since it forces the storm sirge further south. An impact north of the bay means that all the storm surge gets funneled straight into Tampa Bay and the area of higher population density

I’m gonna tell you right now it is more than just one county. Every rural county in Ohio has wind turbines on the ballot every election cycle, with the farmers opposed and the town/village residents in favor. Part of that started off because (in my county) the electricity was mostly going to go to Michigan rather than lowering rates here in NW Ohio. But that quickly evolved into “wind turbines cause brain cancer”

I mean, i would also be pretty pissed of my cousin made millions on a book about how I’m a lowlife scumbag who deserves everything that happens to me.

Whatever makes sense

I can see how small airports would make sense in Denmark since the landscape of islands and peninsulas makes direct paths by road or train nearly impossible. I’m in Ohio, which is comparable to Poland in geography. Rolling plains along a smooth coastline in the north with sizable hills and low mountains in the south. Flying from Toledo to Akron doesn’t make any sense since driving that is less than 2 hours, and so passenger rail would be a mich better option. You barely even see commercial flights from Cleveland to Cincinnati since the driving distance is doable for a day trip. A rail line connecting Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati would be perfect for us instead of lots of tiny airlines.
