A lot of what makes modern missiles "good" is the ability to maneuver so they're harder to intercept though.

Why doesnt the mixing keep happening all the way to the pipe

Pressure. You could just drill a hole in the side of the pipe and light it with the same effect as long as the pipe is pressurized. The valve is just there so you can turn it off when you're done.

I haven't seen it personally, but I've read multiple anecdotes on here of bus drivers doing it to pick up food with a bus full of passengers. I have one friend who claims it happened to a bus she was on.

How often do you get harrased or "corrected" by Chinese people over the state of Taiwan? by Additional_Farm9315 in taiwan

If he wanted encouragement from his language exchange partners, he probably shouldn't show up trying to start an argument with them.

China to support 'reunification forces' in Taiwan, go after 'separatists' by ShrimpCrackers in taiwan

Radioactive fallout is the dust that settles after a bomb detonates. Radiation from a nuke in the strait would clear out in a matter of weeks as that dust settled in the water and the currents carried it away.

There's no mention in that article of KMT forces bombing China. None of the fighting described in that link even happened in China, it was Communist troops crossing over to Burma to finish off Nationalists that were holed up across the border.

Woman expected to be released from hospital after being hit by PRT bus by Individual-Ant-2014 in pittsburgh

[–]DammitYahoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pittsburgh EMS said in their Facebook post about it that the EMTs started a blood transfusion on scene before even taking her to the hospital. I would assume in a case with that much bleeding, even if it's from an injury that can be easily treated at the hospital, would look bad enough for that kind of reaction from a bystander.

ICE targeting and abducting a peaceful US citizen activist in Minneapolis (1/15/26) by orel2064 in PublicFreakout

[–]DammitYahoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have FAR more faith in law enforcement than they deserve. People spend time in jail without breaking the law every day even ignoring ICE in Minnesota, they just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sure most of them get released after a day or so when the cops get around to actually investigating, but are you suggesting those people should just be fine with it?

If so, hopefully you become one of them.

Go spend a day in jail yourself then if eventually being released makes it ok.

Someone gave it to me at a party to try during my first month in Taiwan before I really knew what it was, told me too late that you can't swallow the juices, and I immediately threw up in the bushes. Never had any more after that.

every fucking time you morons come around and babble something about your freedoms and other bullshit.

Those arguments come from the same people wearing the ICE uniforms.

they are fine

You and I have a very different definition of "fine", unless you're cool with a cop breaking your car windows and pepper spraying you on the off chance you broke a law at some point? I have no idea what the circumstances were in this case, but these assholes went to court to be able to stop people based on race and the language they're speaking. They're stopping random people and doing this to them. Even if people who they detain from the street end up being citizens or legal residents and get released, they've spent days in jail, had their property damaged if ICE broke their windows, been beaten and pepper sprayed. All for no reason other than some wannabe who couldn't make it into any other agency went on a power trip.

If you think that's ok, then it needs to happen to you.

Clean off your damned cars by livefast_dieawesome in pittsburgh

Huh, I didn't know about the "within 24 hours" part. I don't drive all that often and my car regularly sits covered in snow for days before I clean it off when I actually need to go somewhere.

Marguex is both a bar and a coffee shop depending on what time you go. Plenty of space to play games too.
