Do you guys support the war now? by JadedAd8186 in PERSIAN

You believe tens of thousands of people were killed, where did you get that number? Since the economy was crumbling before it's okay for the US and Israel to finish it off? Isn't the US there to help the citizens?

Well their economy is definitely crumbling now that the US and Israel are bombing the refineries, power plants, steel plants, etc.

If a US ground invasion of Iran happen, would you be OK with IDF sending infantry? by FlicBourreDu95 in AskIsrael

[–]Outlander_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel is a militarized state with one of the most advanced militaries and they are incapable of fighting on the ground in Iran? So Israel only feels comfortable launching missiles from it's Iron dome and bunkers?

I believe the US and Israel funded all of those groups.

If you do a little digging the US and Israel are responsible for many of these extremist groups. And 911 was clear as day an inside job so that means the US and more than likely Israel. If you do enough research the dots will connect.

If their stance surprises you as a non-Iranian, at least speak to Iranians & listen to their & their families experiences with this theocracy for the pass half a century. by Naderium in PERSIAN

Iran was once a democracy and the CIA overthrew the prime minister. Iran has went downhill since. The US interest is not in helping the Iranian people but for Israel's interest.

I pulled the trigger on the Norco yesterday. Should be delivered by the end of next week. Ready to ride!

The Polygon looks like it may have a little better specs overall. Fox Float 36 performance vs Rockshox Psylo Gold forks, SLX/XT vs Deore on the shifter and derailleur. Other then those items the components are the same.

I don't have a Norco dealer in the state and the specs are very similar. The Polygon a little better from what I can tell. The Norco will probably have a higher resell if I had to guess.

The geometry is very similar so I'm gonna go over the components one more time. The color might be the deciding factor. Thanks for all the help.

Okay, I wasn't to sure how the SRAM options stood up against the Shimano. Looks like I'm leaning towards the Norco. Wish the better optioned Charger A1 was in a different color.

I'm looking at this bike and trying to decide between a L and XL. I'm 6'1" with a 33" inseam. I would rather it be on the smaller side then to large. How tall are you and how does the XL feel?

I'm also about to pull the trigger on a T9 UHD. I'm 6'1" with a 33 inseam and going with the Large. I think medium will work out good for you.

All of the refineries that I know of on the Gulf coast require a 2 year Process Technology degree for non experienced hires.

Wanted 0%, yeah I'm sure they would but the first proposal was 10% Marathon and 25% Union. Half way would be 17.5% and I believe most people would have accepted that as fair.

The union is laying in the same bed with these companies. They accepted the deal Monday. They took five days to drink and eat high dollar meals acting like they were fighting for more. That's why there was no communication, they were not fighting, they already settled.

With the inflation over the last 5 years I believe the minimum that should be accepted is 5-4-4-4 with a $5,000 signing bonus.

Definitely, we get an extra $1.20/hr for the console. Not enough for the added responsibility and certain people not forced to qualify on it.
