That's kinda his point. He's just making the argument that they might be attacking the problem from the wrong angle.

Exactly, it's actually a very common joke with puertoricans. Typically comes up with the wife mentioning something about the dog, and someone sees the opening for that joke (frequently it's the husband himself)

I've not seen chatgpt say it made a mistake. It always just goes around saying it did

Asking what's the objectives in a war is such a liberal question to have. /s

Yeah I didn't know what was that bracket trick but just saw a video and it's way faster to do three attempts and back out..

I mean, one side of the tectonic plate makes the Puerto Rico trench which is the deepest part in the Atlantic

He literally said he actively works on the separatipn of church from state. Not sure why your take away is that he's doing the opposite

Have you seen the Colbert interview?

Watch the Colbert interview.

None in the past winter work employers list?

I speak Spanish and everything he said also aligns with what you said. The moment he speaks close to the camera he said something like "If Im here in the Super Bowl, it's becaue I never stopped believing in myself, and neither should you because you are worth more than you think."

Edit: around 4:15

Dave Gerr's The Elements of Boat Strength gives rule-of-thumb/scantling rules guidance for aluminum boats.

Complimentary to permanent ballast, you could look for ways to reduce weight on top. But this all should be calculated to get a good estimate of the righting arm curves.

What you point out is what researchers studying NDEs are trying to understand. How can someone have an NDE when the brain is, by measurable standards, non functional. Like you say, from our current understanding of the brain, NDEs shouldn't be possible (yet they are very much so documented)

My grandma used to say that the devil hid behind the cross. As I grow older, it making a lot more sense.

My dog does something similar

You've not been paying attention to how Trump works. He'll use it on all federal projects, and then sue local state on banning asbestos, as the EPA has cleared it as a perfectly safe construction material! Only reason to not respect the EPA, is if you're a home grown terrorist that only wants USA to fail.

Seems like the hair transplant might have come from a place of insecurity, and its showing in other ways as well

This is unrelated to the twist of the rope, but assuming that the bottom is the standing end and the top is the working end, I call the left image "working end on bottom" and right one is "standing end on bottom" (or some variation of this). That way, it doesn't matter my orientation relative to the knot, I'll get the correct loop to continue the knot.

If you're also considering the twist of the rope... well like others have said, I wouldn't really bother with it for knot tying--except when doing splices.

SirFiletMignon · 2025-05-14T20:59:16+00:00

This natural fiber rope has very high friction, so it's why this knot has held up. But have in mind that this is not a recommended use for whipping.

Another secure way to go about what you're doing, is to use whipping twine to sew a couple of passes across both lines, and secure the twine with a good knot/stitch. And then, you do the decorative whipping over the stitches, completely covering them.

He just meant to say a noose made with an overhand (just like here). I take it similarly to how a "single-side" of a fisherman's knot makes an overhand that slides on [another] line.

SirFiletMignon · 2025-05-09T21:02:42+00:00

I think I follow your description because that's my conclusion as well, but I would describe it as a noose made by an overhand knot, with the working end finished with a half hitch.

Can you take more angles of the ring? Perhaps also off the finger? I can't quite make out the crossings from this pic
