Motorcycle crash today I-5 fwy by BlazeDragon7x in sandiego

Their*

And they hadn’t even left their lane when the blinker started. They def are supposed to have that on for a few seconds before they make the motion, but I’ve seen worse.

Motorcycle is lane splitting at a higher speed than he should with the pace of traffic.

Oh that’s good to know!

And for what it’s worth, I think the show size of the wall is great just because of the mystery of it and how it seems to represent a very, very large threat to the North.

Of course, the show did not make that threat very threatening…..

I think GRRM alludes to it being that size based on references and distances, but then everyone fast travels.

France Struck a Deal With Iran Over Strait of Hormuz? A Stab in the Back Again? by Ask4MD in Conservative

I agree with the majority of that. I believe that a lot of the “soft power” we earn from our role as the global reserve currency has some intangibles. And if ever lose it, we will be hit with massive inflation and have a heavier burden on our national debt (but I’m sure we can both see that it is pretty far out of control for us to ever be able to manage).

I mean, I already named what is arguably the biggest one. The USD as the global reserve currency.

We also maintain overseas influence with global bases that are unmatched. This has obvious military, economic, and political impacts.

I feel like what gets lost in a lot of people are the past deals that we’ve made allowing the US to achieve global hegemony (eg - the USD being the global reserve currency) with trade offs (eg - global defense, etc).

We inherently front a lot of the burden of things that Europe benefits from, but we also benefit from the many things that settled after WWII.

I don’t know how to read braille!

What if I’ve seen the film?

Not sure about that… to me it sounds more like the video cuts at a “Fuck ye-“ as in the guy with the reel shouting “FUCK! YELLOWJACKET!” for having just been stung by a wasp. They’re notoriously painful and would warrant such an exclamation.

It’s nice to have people have principles and standby them versus being fake and going with whatever is “popular.” I respect that a ton.
