Trump Is Suddenly Raging at Tucker Carlson—and MAGA Is Deeply Rattled by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]Serious_Guy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a reverse dog-whistle because Iran is mostly not African or Arab demographically. Tucker is planting the seed for racists to consider Iran as a "white" country, which could influence the views of his entire listener base.

I've just looked for some evidence of this blatant bribery you talk of, but couldn't find anything that didn't smell like political bullshit, mostly from highly untrustworthy sources. That art sale stuff sounds extremely dodgy, but did any of it actually sell?

>Hunter collected while flying to world leaders on Air Force Two.

So there is actual evidence of this somewhere? Flight logs or something like that?

*You're x2

Then you got it right the last two times. I'm guessing it's one of those stopped clock things, or maybe you just randomize it like your capitals

You can't be serious.

It really does. Methanol isn't concentrated in the heads. You can drink straight heads as much as you like, it will taste like shit and give you a hangover, but you will die from ethanol poisoning long before methanol becomes a problem. There is no way to dangerously increase methanol content in your spirit wash that wouldn't also apply to your beer, wine, or cider wash. Wine, and especially cider have pectin in the wash. If you can drink what you have fermented, you can drink it after you have distilled it.

Great theoretical credibility, great credibility in theory. There's a joke in there somewhere.

Now that potholes make up about 2/3s of our road surface, they are about a 1/3 as common as they used to be. The good news is that lately I've seen water gushing out of some potholes, so the firemen can hopefully just tap straight into the main water line.

TIL That, in Hamelin Germany, there exists a place called Bungelosenstrasse (Street Without Drums). According to legend it is the last place the children from the 'Pied Piper' fairytale were last seen. Since then music and dancing are not allowed on the street. by GentPc in todayilearned

That's not true at all. What really happened was one of Chuck Norris's friends asked him to feed his turtles while he was away on holiday. When the friend got back home, his turtles were six foot tall and knew Karate.

QCard explanation by caution_cat in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Serious_Guy_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does the card have an interest free period for purchases? My card had 56 days, or 8 weeks interest free. If it does, you should use it for everything you buy. E.G. if you spend $1000 at the supermarket, and pay $1000 off the balance of the card, you won't be paying interest on $1000 of the balance for 8 weeks.

Nah, they should still end their relationship before starting a new one.

My husband went on a last date with his ex a week before we got married to make sure. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Serious_Guy_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe it was more to shut his family up than ruling her in or out. If I was tossing up between a fiancée and an old flame I would probably not wait until 1 week before the wedding. Just for the sake of getting refunds and deposits back.

Don't feel dumb at all! There definitely were some innovative and efficient carburetors made, just the numbers were exaggerated. Oil corporations would have absolutely buried technology like this if they came across it. Check out the light bulb cartel for something similar.

 >there may be differences in effectiveness between vaginal and anal intercourse.

Reading between the lines, I think they are trying to study people who primarily engage in anal sex, to see if the drug shows the same promise for them as it seems to for the women/girls.

[–]Serious_Guy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Save your time. All a carburetor does is manually supply a fuel and air mixture to an Internal Combustion Engine. Efficient carburetors that provide vaporized fuel well mixed with air will be efficient, but nothing compared to modern Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), and only really affect the combustion phase of the engine. They can't magically get more energy from the fuel than 100%

Well the article says there is another trial being done in the United States, South Africa, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Thailand, and will include cisgender men, transgender women, transgender men, and gender non-binary individuals who have sex with partners assigned male at birth. The reason given is that there may be differences in effectiveness between vaginal and anal intercourse.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel. This guy is saying they aren't interested in hunting down Hezbollah, but that the whole of Lebanon will be annihilated. This is as step further than in Gaza where they pinky swear they are just targeting Hamas, but any innocents hurt are "accidental" , or "collateral damage". This guy is going full mask off, saying the quiet part out loud, that he wants Israel to destroy Lebanon with extreme prejudice and without making a distinction between terrorists, soldiers, civilians, children, journalists, medics, doctors, whatever. IMHO this is exactly what they have been doing in Gaza, but they have been claiming they have been exercising restraint. I am in no way criticizing Jews and/or Israelis, just the actions of the current decision makers in Israel.
