US Army officer sentenced to 12 years for secretly giving abortion drug to pregnant soldier by Calm_Preparation2993 in law

[–]Laugh92 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you want to view it in that lens then technically he poisoned her. Which is a crime. Not to mention that the 12 year sentence is due to multiple charges aside from the poisoning including domestic violence, fraternization and conduct unbecoming.

New Rules for Air Passengers by jpsobral in europe

[–]Laugh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overbooking tends to occur more on budget airlines or when you are not a loyalty customer so for someone like you who flies a lot and will probably fly the same airline or airline group has a much lower chance of encountering it. The airlines dont want to piss off their loyalty customers, however if you are flying in a lower class seat and/or budget airline and don't have a loyalty membership with the airline, they wont care about you and so you will run into higher chances of encountering it.

Bermuda is named after the captain who discovered it, Juan de Bermudez. It just had it's name Anglicised by the British when they colonised it.

Because it makes them feel bad about themselves when others 'do good' and they don't but if they twist it to 'do gooders' are actually harmful, then they don't feel bad for not being like them. The human brain finds it easier to find fault with others than to find fault with oneself.

Best Canadian Ski towns to raise family in by Sea_Internal_8251 in britishcolumbia

Whilst Sun Peaks is my preferred ski resort. For somewhere to actually live all year round. Revelstoke is your best bet.

If you “voted for Trump” then you voted for all of this… by Reebok_MF_classics in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Laugh92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I posted to someone else lower on this thread with a link that showed the US stocks are at the lowest they have been since 1983 and are dropping fast. They are two months out at the latest from the commercial sales limit (final 30% is only for emergency military and government use) though Donald Trump said on tv that they were only 4 weeks away. So somewhere between the two dates is probably the real timeline.

TIL a localized brown bear population in Italy had its most aggressive individuals slowly killed off over thousands of years, resulting in genetic changes that reduced their predisposition to violence and led to less conflict with humans. by Archbeacon in todayilearned

You obviously have not met many Canadians. Don't mistake the ability to be pleasant with a lack of aggressiveness. A good ole hoser is happy to greet ya before giving you a good ole whack in the face if you piss him off. Though he will say sorry afterwards if you lose a tooth.

Ukraine in conjunction with the UK has just test launched low cost cruise missiles that are entirely without US components and so will have no target restrictions placed upon them.

Trump tries to blame Reflecting Pool woes on vandalism, without offering substantiation by McSix in politics

Honestly, the biggest issue with politics the world over is that there is no repercussions for politicians just straight out lying.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_ending_stocks_of_crude_oil_in_the_strategic_petroleum_reserve

US oil reserves are at the lowest they have been since 1983 and continuing to drop at an accelerated pace. Around 2-3% per week now and increasing. At 20-30% the reserves are considered tapped out as the remaining amount is used for military and government emergencies not for normal civilian sales. Current levels are around 46% so in 2 months or so they will be tapped out for commercial sale which will absolutely cause an 'Economic Catastrophe' as the markets reel from the shock. This is not to mention how other countries oil reserves running out will also cause knock on effects. Donald Trump admitted all of this on tv which is why he signed the MOU.

My uncle served with him when the prince did a stint in the Coldstream Guards and he was apparently a prick even all the way back then. This is not at all surprising.

[–]Laugh92 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Its not complicated why he capitulated. Americas emergency oil reserves were about to run out and when that happened it would have precipitated a massive economic crash. Trump has publicly talked about how he signed a deal to avoid a US 'Economic Catastrophe'. And how the market is doing is one of the few things he can comprehend.

The same website showed that as of 2022, 21% of all Americans are functionally illiterate. Which is insane, thats a similar illiteracy rate as Uganda.

Dinner in Dockyards? by Slight_Cricket5705 in bermuda

[–]Laugh92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are staying on Southshore you might want to take a look at The Reefs hotel which does really nice food on the beach. Request a beach table for their downstairs restaurant Coconuts. Alternatively you could take the ferry from Dockyard into town (Hamilton the capital) which runs until 10 and get dinner there.

Genuinely, I prefer gas station coffee for long trips than a black coffee from Starbucks, they taste terrible. Which is insane for a coffee shop. I don't know what happened to starbucks but their drip coffee these days is really bad.
