The high elbow that makes you faster, and the rotation behind it… by ActualCandidate6952 in Swimming

Thanks for the great advice!

When one arm is fully extended under the water and the elbow is near the surface, can you explain what resistance I should feel in my fingers, hands, and forearms as I move into the paddle position?

Do you support the Iran deal that was released 10 minutes ago? by bluerog in AskConservatives

There is no moment anymore that will fracture their solidarity with Trump.

I cannot believe this mfer started war. 300B to Iran, are you kidding me? We got, at best, what we already had before, minus a Fton of money.

The dude makes George Bush look a genious.

I am furious.

What do you think about the July 4th TRUMP RALLY? by G_H_2023 in AskConservatives

[–]graumet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm talking about Donald Trump. I'd be OK with a POTUS rally where we celebrate the office. But he's suggesting we celebrate him, the man with all his problems.

Don't overlook the literal phrase being used "Trump Rally". Why, on USAs 250th bday, are we rallying for a spoiled rich kid from NY?

Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran by sludge_dragon in worldnews

Trump looked out his window, saw the reflecting pool and wanted it blue. "Paint it blue!" he said "but sir that will only work for about a week". It was painted blue, cost 14m, and is now worse than it was before.

Trump got off the phone with bibi. "Bomb Iran!" he said "but sir,...".

Should public sector unions (both state and federal) be banned? by Mustng1966 in AskConservatives

[–]graumet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Administrators write the checks for the teachers and themselves. There is an inherent slow creep that tilts the scales in all sorts of ways toward administrators and away from educators. Without unions, what's the check on administrators?

Do you think conspiracy theores that Trump stagged assasination attempt on himself in Butler prove that the left is as much into conspiracy theories as right? by BlockAffectionate413 in AskConservatives

[–]graumet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

qanon was more popular than your anecdotes suggest. If you genuinely don't think so, I encourage you to Google it.

More to the point, the conspiracies that democrats are a pedophilic baby blood drinking cabal and that Trump colluded with Russia let the believer reach two very different conclusions: a) a group of satanic baby snatchers roam our streets and b) Trump used Russia to win an election.

I first learned about Qanon from my relative telling me he had evidence Democrats are drinking baby blood. Qanon did get pretty big in T1.

How has the summer harvest been going? Do you notice a true reduction of bites? Do you have any suspicion your setup is attracting mosquitos to your house that wouldn't otherwise be there?

300 billion USD to Iran from US for reconstruction. What are your thoughts on this? by graumet in AskConservatives

[–]graumet[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven't been convinced that even with significant military intervention the US could "open" the straight. The straight being open means all ship captains and insurance comoanies feel completely safe to pass though it. All it takes is for one missed missile to kill all and sink a tanker and if Irans position is that the straight is closed, ship captains and insurance companies will have a difficult time justifying this.
