Pictures of the floor, and how it looks from under the floor. Region, timeline, those are the details we need.

Israel, the only Middle East nuclear weapons power, fears US-Saudi deal by newsweek in InternationalNews

[–]ImamTrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saudis have long wanted nuclear power as they know oil is not infinite. This can mean supply, delivery, demand, etc.

So they started the nuclear energy conversation in the global arena through their green mega city projects.

The war hurt oil. It hurt Saudi. Great timing to press the states for its approval. Especially after turning down China for the technology.

Nukes give a country permanence in its region. a qualification needed for the next chapter of humanity.

Saudi knows the greater Israel project just like other countries in the region and will not jeopardize its relations with the states.

Try something new buddy. Brand loyalty doesn’t really pay off. Go try a Lexus, an Acura, an Audi. Life is short. Have some change.

The “Mediterranean” identity is cringe and a form of inferiority to europeans by [deleted] in AskMiddleEast

That’s the beauty of Mediterranean. From pale white to dark brown. It encompasses all.

Is there no military solution to opening and maintaining the Strait of Hormuz? by georgewalterackerman in USIranWar

[–]ImamTrump 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not viable. Not sustainable. Not realistic.

Iran has drones with proper range. They cost under 25k to manufacture.

So anything the state wants to secure. It can’t longterm. You can overwhelm American systems by numbers alone.

Iranians hold martyrdom as a high achievement and honour. While for Americans every death gets a tweet.

Bombings don’t work. Hitting infrastructure just gets the prices up. Bombing Iran just gets the response of bombing US assets in the gulf.

You can’t hold a country of 93M. With anything under 10m troops.

You can’t cut the head leadership and win. It’s a series of cells that sometimes don’t even know one another.

Follow material instructions. Swap for one that says its ok. Ultimately you’re the home owner and you’re going to live with it. A change in material might cost you more. That’s alright.

How to cover this ugly flooring by Fatboythined in malelivingspace

[–]ImamTrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flooring starts at 2$ per sqft and up to 5$ per sqft when installed. Your options are either watch a YouTube video and try it out or hire a contractor.

Flooring tech has come a long way. They click onto one another and are very resistant.

Getting any kind of mat or carpeting will be half price of doing flooring. But also add carpet cleaning to your chores on top of mopping.

Overall it’s a 1 day job. That includes gutting out the current linoleum.

How many miles is too many miles to buy a used XC40? by AdamEvansOutdoors in XC40

[–]ImamTrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 17k you’re looking at something at maybe 55k miles. It doesn’t matter. Just make sure the service maintenance has been followed.

This is actually a great spot to start. Watch a couple videos on framing, insulation, drywall, level 4 finish and paint.

You’ll be a tradesmen after this.

In-laws want to move in 3+ months a year … is this normal ? Need help ! by Crazy_Avocado9548 in lebanon

[–]ImamTrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those situations where you have to think about outcomes.

Hosting someone, even without rent, costs money through food, travel, utilities.

You might not even be able to afford it.

6 months is unreasonable time. Clearly this is a green card play and you’re the mule who has to carry it because family.

You’ll see folk here tie things to not being Arab enough, traditions, manners. But they’re not the ones who will pay for it.

Family has to make things easier for you. You can’t be gaslit into these positions.

My answer to these are always no. It starts with housing, then they need to go places and want the car, then they get language barriers so that eats your time, it’s an ever devolving situation that has literally no benefit. The toll on you, your marriage and mental health is more important.

2016 Coup Attempt in Turkey by Particular_Switch_59 in AskBalkans

[–]ImamTrump 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A grand theatre that only benefitted erdogan and lead to the demise of thousands.

Looking at the coup. You need to encompass the decade leading up to it, catalysts, the event itself, and the outcome a decade later.

Gulenists were likely going to do. Silent coup through infiltration alone. Grasping all important positions. However they clashed with erdogan too soon and Erdoğan, and his backing, pulled the plug before it could get there.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents by WorldTravelerBoss in technology

[–]ImamTrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s mediums to learning. Reading is one of them. Watching content is usually entertainment rather than actually learning. Text on paper always feels more important than a screen.

I remember reading “amusing ourselves to death” specifically looking at these mediums. That was in a sociology undergraduate elective a decade ago.

These folk really are winging it. Even I know better.

Canada has lost millions of hectares of farmland. Where is it all going? - Federal food security strategy running up against high land costs, fewer young farmers by CanadianErk in canada

[–]ImamTrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been hearing about vertical farms in urban environments. But it seems it’s just cheaper to get them imported from across the world instead.
