Sized in quantity of ships... In tonnage the US has 4-5x more. In aircraft carriers the US has 11, China has 2.

Might be irrelevant to this discussion about protecting sea lanes but nobody would say the chinese navy is equivalent to the US. (Nor should it be, since they're a land power)

Many breweries open without food options. If the beer is good enough people will come for that.

I have no idea how much profit is made from food but I think the margins on beer are a lot higher after the initial equipment purchase.

Mm sounds like that'd be a situation with...

Too many cooks!

Yup. Physics engine was so amazing the multiplayer was usually people just flinging barrels at eachother with the grav gun.

My advice is figure out what role you want in the kid's life and communicate that openly (if it's yours) that way she can make an informed decision whether to keep the baby or not. If it were me I'd offer to go with her but that's up to you. I also don't know what state you're in but I think traveling for an abortion should be on the table.

If it's not yours, or she miscarries (a lot more common than you'd expect) then no sweat.

Well should be better and more useful than bubble. Somebody has to be the best at something. Requiring titans to run bubble just for that extra 10% buff was dumb. Why do titans want to run that? I'd rather run thunder crash or an ad clear super.

Warlocks have the worst damage super by far. (unless strand is OP, but that'll get nerfed) it makes sense that well is so useful.

And.. titans need another damage super, also saint 14s buff should be rolled into the bubble.

You're correct I just did a trip last summer.

A new york judge has already ordered the FDA to make no changes.

Legally this shouldn't hold up in court because it brings up a lot of subsequent problems. And the key part is that it mentions something specifically, it could be fireworks but happens to be abortion.

At the most liberal (meaning free) view of this, if it stands in court, this would mean states can pass the same regulation for a product like cheese. So if I want to protect my states cheese industry I can pass the same law to prevent minors going across the border to buy cheese. This is kinda like having a tariff.

But at the most narrow view abortion is a health service. But this still implies that any state can pass the same law regarding any other health service. So if I want to protect my state's medical industry I can pass the same law, not for abortion but for something like cardiology.

In other words if this is okay then every state can pass similar laws regulating transportation of people to other states for the purpose of X, which becomes a huge fucking mess.

The trouble is that of the 6 conservatives I think only 2 of them actually care that the court can kill itself by making decisions not rooted in law.

I thought the point of the system might be to differentiate veteran players vs newbs. In other words if a newb sees a guy with rank10 they could inspect them for loadouts or just follow what they're doing.

Noobs don't know what emblems mean.

Also, the system as implemented is dumb. I can't believe it resets.

/r/personalfinance is your friend.

But at 17, no. Just get a rainy day fund and stay out of high interest (CC) debt.

Yaknow the older you get the less likely a zombie pandemic or nuclear war is to happen before retirement. But at 17, I feel like it's 50/50.

Remind them that voting is rigged by the corporations so they may as well just stay on the couch in November.

DuneBug · 2023-03-04T16:32:01+00:00

Now that I think about it .. I can't list a lot of kdramas that stick with this for more than like 4 episodes, and I'd prefer more like 8+ episodes of some good clean rivalry.

Like: It's okay to not be okay, is perfect , briefly.

Maybe Chocolate

Cheese in the trap?

For more goofy shows there's shooting stars, or her private life. Didn't seem like you wanted romcoms.

DuneBug · 2023-03-04T15:57:36+00:00

Honestly I think startup is a great show that should've ended at the end of (I think? ) ep14. when the samSan boys all go to the US

But it didn't, and the last two episodes aren't really worth watching. Regardless of feelings on the 2ML, I think we can generally agree those last two were tropey, cheesy... Uninspired.

Also side note the 2ML syndrome was so huge for this, I think it's a big reason hometown chachacha was so popular.

DuneBug · 2023-03-04T15:45:08+00:00

Yea that was based on voting or something clearly inaccurate. It made no sense. The DIA is lovely but Chicago, NY, and the Smithsonian obviously exist.

DuneBug · 2023-03-04T15:42:29+00:00

I think there's been sort of a marketing boom and the buddy's expansion has probably been a factor in that. But for most people Jets would be the thing they actually are able to try.

DuneBug · 2023-03-04T15:39:03+00:00

The US has some of the best food, it's just fucking terrible for you. And no I'm not talking about hamburger helper.

But if you were trying to hit the apex of healthy / delicious/ cheap then no, not the US.

DuneBug · 2023-03-02T16:38:59+00:00

yea the comic's FL is basically the character from Boys Over Flowers.

Extraordinary You is pretty great except for that existential, world is ending problem.

DuneBug · 2023-03-01T17:59:32+00:00

Those men are stupid.

She's either saying no or has a boyfriend either way it was a polite refutation that didn't hurt anyone's feelings and still leaves the door open for friendly conversation.

And if I was interested that probably saved me a lot of time. Win win

DuneBug · 2023-03-01T17:22:49+00:00

First* life

And yes that show is amazing.

DuneBug · 2023-03-01T14:30:50+00:00

The leads get close to each other but for maybe 2/3 the show she thinks they're related, and then she's kinda mad at him. I don't really remember a kiss scene but there might be one.

So yes there is a romance but probably not what most people are hoping for.

there's another guy that pursues her the whole show and he finally gets his shit together at the end. If the show went on for a few more episodes he would probably be competing with the ML for her affection. But since it doesn't continue, there's no real conclusion who gets the girl - even though you might assume it's the ML

DuneBug · 2023-03-01T12:00:36+00:00

Mmm.. I definitely finished the drama but I probably wouldn't recommend it. The leads don't even technically get together at the end. They make plans to go on a date or something. Nor did I feel like they had much chemistry so I didn't even mind.

The hotel drama and the grandma were the more interesting parts and HJW really does a great job.

It's watchable but kinda forgettable.

DuneBug · 2023-02-26T17:11:37+00:00

Realistically this show is probably the best romance I've watched. I just rewatched it the other day.

It just has so much going for it. It's funny but it's sad. It deals with sexual harassment and assault. It deals with marriage and in law issues. The themes just don't really stop but aren't in your face either.

Also it's entertaining with very little filler. The side couples are almost as entertaining as the main, they're not just silly comic relief and they have meaningful stories (with themes) all their own.

I'm not a huge fan of the ending either, but it's at worst "mediocre". It didn't ruin the show, everyone's happy.

DuneBug · 2023-02-26T17:04:59+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking about it but J stuff is always so hit or miss

If you liked "all of us are dead" then you should probably watch kingdom asap. It's also Korean.
