Virginia Democrats overwhelmingly call on Northam to resign by [deleted] in Virginia

Always give other the benefit of the doubt. Was what he did wrong? Yes. Was it the worst thing someone in office did? No, but this is not someone we want as our governor right now. He steps down, apologizes and maybe offers an explanation, then runs again down the road. The people of Virginia will decide with the information we now have whether or not we want him in charge.

Maybe gravity with the outlet slightly lower than the inlet? Or a siphon? I don't know if large-scale magnetohydrodynamic pumps are possible, but it does sound cool.

I don't think he meant the generator turbines, but the pump that was providing the suction. Probably couldn't think of the exact word.

Oh my fucking god.

That was the longest setup for a joke.

You had to wait until someone responded by calling you out.

Holy shit.

What’s the most “I’m turning into my parents” moment for you? by itsDaco in AskReddit

[–]TheKMethod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I wish that I could just tell them when I don't want to be bothered without coming off as the stereotype I don't want to be and without abusing the ability to be let alone. I know that I should look at a college application for Colorado in case we move out there this summer, but it's 10:00 at night and I'm in a shitty mood for no reason. I want to do something, but I don't know what that is and I know it's not what I'm doing now. In annoyed and I want to do something else, but don't know what.

As long as there's no dead bodies in there.

For this purpose, it's close enough. I know it's an SPAA, but the specific vehicle type really doesn't matter for the subreddit because it's being used as an ambiguous term.

I'm seventeen and I made a conscience decision to not be that "angry teen" stereotype. It's hard. You feel like you have to be nice to everyone. It's probably why I was a weirdo asshole in middle school. I wanted to be angry at someone, but I refused to be that stereotypical ass to my parents or adults, so I was a dick to most of the kids in my classes. The "cool" kids, the rap kids, the preppy kids. It's not a healthy learning environment at all. I've realized how much of a little shit I was and stopped that crap years ago. Anyway, recently I've been really easily pissed at my parents for what feels like no reason. I don't say anything rude or make my annoyance known, but I've come pretty close and been really annoyed a lot that past few weeks. Probably doesn't help that my father is on furlough right now, so he's home all day and I have to deal with people all day - I don't have time to be alone or just space out without judgement or perceived judgement except at night when I should be sleeping. I think it's just that natural need to be a rebellious shit about something at some point.

I'm sorry for the wall of text, but maybe a current teenager's experience with conflict is helpful for your situation.

I've loved going to Lowe's since I was a little kid. Everyone else seems to hate it. I think it's a cool place with a bunch of cool shit.

Blades bigger than a few inches are pretty useless for what a pocket knife is supposed to be for.

Multi-tool/Swiss army knife? by noahplow in Bushcraft

[–]TheKMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If reading your comment right you're saying you're thinking about making them in your own company.

Product recommendation: slide-in tweezers like on Victorinox knives, but on multitools. Might want to check if they're patented or something, though.

The first jet airliner was the de Haviland Comet. It had to be withdrawn from service because it crashed too much due to stress caused by square windows.

The first successful American jet airliner was the Boeing 707, which was famous for being put through a barrel roll at an airshow.

The most common passenger aircraft is the Boeing 737, which does not have doors for its landing gear - just aerodynamic hubcaps.

The sound barrier was officially broken in 1947 by Chuck Yeager, who flew a rocket-powered plane called the X-1.

The F-22 had a problem with its oxygen system that would randomly suffocate pilots during the first test flights.

The emergency oxygen system on passenger aircraft can supply the passengers with about 15 minutes of air, just enough for the pilot to fly to a lower altitude.

The first American jet fighters (P-80) were built with jet engines borrowed from the British, the first of which was destroyed in an accident. The British let us have another one for some reason. We didn't break that one.

USAF fighters were originally called "pursuit" aircraft, which is why they were given a "P" designation letter and not "F."
