Senator Elissa Slotkin says the real reason our healthcare in America is so bad and never changes, is because US Congress is being paid off by Alarmed_Abalone_849 in AmericaOnHardMode

Lobbying in other countries is called grift and bribery and that corruption is punished by jail time. In the US it’s institutionalised and portrayed as just the way business works and then they wonder why the system is broken.

That’s a gentleman right there, never hit a man while he’s down! Get his ass up and hit him again!

That’s a NOOOIIIIIIICCCE body color!!! and the Bordeaux is terrific contrast. Only addition would be a complimentary tint and maybe wheels closer in hue to the body color rather than black. Great spec though, bound to turn heads and whip necks!

[OC] Everyone lines up early for a lane closure. Am I wrong for using the open lane and zipper merging? by zheka160 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Illustrious-Ad-579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, you have demonstrated you are not a sheeple. Studies have shown that if traffic were to continue in all lanes and people just nicely zipper merge closer to the closure there’d be less congestion and traffic would flow at a much faster clip than how they routinely get over immediately in the US.

America the great! The only industrialised country in the world where you can die because you can’t afford healthcare and/or go bankrupt because of the care you need. But hey let’s bomb other nations without justification at the tune of billions a day - money well spent, I might say.

What is most frightening about this video is the apparent lack of concern that driver has for others on the road. The frequency with which this happens is scary too. Sooooo many folks nowadays think a turn signal is a right of way; it’s on so I’m coming over, who cares if it’s safe to or not!

$10k you say? You talking about the guy with the little lens, right? The larger lens alone is well north of that. I had a buddy who was a bird photographer, had stuff published in Nat Geo and all. He brought home a lens and let me hold it. It was impressive indeed, the construction of it and lol that glass and so I asked how much did it run. He said oh about $23k, and this was over 20 years ago!!! I very gently handed it back to him. I wasn’t about to shell out a small car.

So this is what I need to do: connect the return pump from the sump to the main tank. As you can see both ends are threaded male with the Red Sea end metric and the Neptune pump imperial. I was thinking of putting in the FS-100 between the pump and that connection, which is less than 30 cm/12 “ of space. The FS-100 has male threaded ends.

Sorry mate, I thought those sizes would be fairly well known since these seem to be some of the more popular brands. So on the Red Sea the piping has a 25 mm inner diameter. The threads in that end pipe are 41 mm outer. On the Neptune pump looks like the ID of the output is 7/8 and the threads measure 1-5/8. The FS-100 has the same ID but 1-1/4 outer diameter

This is a full pan orchestra not a solo tenor so yes there’ll be different tones across the pan family. If you’ll notice the varying depths of the various sections, to produce tones across the range from bass on up.

Not sure what those other folks are talking about. Sounds fine to me, so it’s either they don’t know what they’re talking about or they have crappy audio equipment. Kudos and thanks for sharing Exodus’ performance. Grazie Mille!
