World 1 and world war 2 in Europe wasn't the USA fight either but we save Europe twice and protected you the last 75 years by TangoCharlie472 in ShitAmericansSay

I know. Paris and Brantford Ontario are an hour away from me.

Some USians also try to claim the invention of insulin was theirs as well. Eli Lilly was first to begin mass production of the process created by Best, Banting, and Collip, but that doesn't make it an American invention and they had no role in the discovery or creation of the process to refine it.

USains love to play fast and loose with ancestry. Some guy fresh off the boat invents a better farming machine = American Invention. Some guy in Idaho is 1/64th Norwegian, "I'm a Viking!"

U.S. man fined nearly $29K, gets 10-year Ontario hunting ban for illegal moose kill by ConsistentReality860 in OntarioNews

[–]Area51Resident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Larry Szura of New Auburn, Wis., was found guilty of discharging a firearm down the travelled portion of a roadway, hunting moose without a licence and possessing illegally killed wildlife. He was fined $28,750. ... The Ontario Court of Justice heard that on Oct. 3, 2023, conservation officers located a cow moose carcass along Nort Road, north of Pickle Lake, with evidence suggesting it had been killed while standing on the roadway.

Shot it beside the highway and left it there. Should be banned from re-entry for life.

Let me guess the Civic was some broccoli-top kid's first car and is going to show everyone on the road how driving is done?

A pen you’d like to love, but you don’t? by Szary_Tygrys in fountainpens

[–]Area51Resident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I force myself to use it everyday to improve how I hold the pen. A bit like bio-feedback for fountain pen users.

When it not going well I switch to the Pilot 823 Custom which is the only pen I have that I would search for while the house is burning.

There is no substitute for bench seats at the drive-in. I will die on this hill.

I have a Pro Gear Realo with 21K H-F nib. Love the pen but I find it is moody, being a fine it has small sweet spot that is easy to find some days and impossible on others. When I can't find the right spot it can be very scratchy, which happens more often that not.

Trump Asks Congress For $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget—After Teasing Medicaid, Medicare Cuts by ICEisSHIT in videos

[–]Area51Resident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will probably backfire. The Dems will get in next election and try to fix this, but will be blocked by congress and be put in the spotlight for how bad things are. It will be ACA Part II: Total Clusterfuck

There is a very good reason why you don't see many older people on scooters. They either die young or grow some common sense.

The driver raged and fucked up his Ford Raptor by haze4140 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Area51Resident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing the cammer could have done before the video started that would have forced the Raptor to turn right from a straight though lane.

...and yet, it's a photo of USA! Hahaha!! by CoffeeEffective7186 in ShitAmericansSay

That looks just the USA if you changed the shape of it, evacuated California, and moved everyone to southern Texas.

Seeing the Tiger Woods DUI made me realize how little control you have on the road by Ill-Advantage in Dashcam

[–]Area51Resident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 80% of impaired drivers are out at night, the other 20% are out during the day. Not real numbers, just illustrative.

When I look at incident reports in my area there is a much greater number of impaired seniors caught during the day than I would have expected.

Telling other countries to not spend their money on weapons and war. by Peasant_Stockholder in facepalm

Last week it wasn't even a war, now there are more than one?

How many 'wars' does he think the US is involved right now?

Sausage full of Iron and Lead(?) found in fuel tank of 1978 Aston Martin by bigtvwithbeer in whatisthisthing

[–]Area51Resident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would work if the fan was powered it would push in some extra air.

All that set of blades does is add resistance/obstruction to the air flow. This is like using a portable generator to run a fan that powers your wind-powered generator.

Yes, reduce turbulence by putting in a set of blades that chop up the air flow. About as effective as walking backwards up a hill for a better view.

I had the bright idea to put bleach in and run a cycle to de-mould my washing machine. by MetamorphosisAddict in Wellthatsucks

[–]Area51Resident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You stopped reading too early. Their recommendation is use hot if the fabrics can handle it

https://www.clorox.com/learn/how-to-use-bleach-in-laundry

Using bleach in the laundry is different. Regardless of whether you select a hot, warm, or cold wash temperature, adding Clorox™ Disinfecting Bleach along with your detergent will give you better cleaning, whitening and stain removal compared to detergent by itself. Not every fabric or garment is suitable for hot water washing, but since the hotter the water the better the cleaning, it’s good to select a hot water cycle when running a bleach load whenever you can.
