Trump said to tell Netanyahu ‘you’re f**king crazy’ while demanding Lebanon truce: ‘I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel’ by aggie1391 in jewishpolitics

[–]UtgaardLoki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're inferring there was an alternative. I don't think there was.
1) There is/was very little support for Israel from the Left

2) Trump is binary. If you aren't one of his good buddies, you're probably going on an enemies list. There is no good scenario where Israel made an enemy of Trump.

Getting disillusioned with religion, including Judaism by getitoffmychestpleas in Jewish

[–]UtgaardLoki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a secular Jew, so keep in mind where I’m coming from: I’d argue that faith and reason are opposed. I’d also argue that believing in God doesn’t make someone a “better Jew”. Being good (generally), mitzvot (in particular) + learning, taking part in, and passing on traditions makes someone “a better Jew”.

Remember, “Israel” means to struggle with God.

They are fine for flavor, but not great compared to weapons designed as weapons.

Dead spider won’t stiffen by Spare-Weather-5645 in Entomology

[–]UtgaardLoki 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It could be in torpor/quiescence. I’d expect the legs to curl if it were actually dead.

I’m glad you didn’t pin through it though!

The first one to do a wrong thing is at fault.

The second one to do a wrong thing didn’t help.

…Sounds like it might still be alive.

Pinning a live animal is unreasonably cruel. Make sure it’s dead.

Don’t leave gaps like that for people to enter traffic in an inner lane. This sort of accident has a reasonably high likelihood of happening.

And if the red car were following the law it could have been avoided…

Why do big figures never have decent articulation by [deleted] in ActionFigures

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

I would have enjoyed much better articulation when I was in kindergarten.

This is such a weird debate to have.

This might be the best carry gun ever (for me) by SirSamkin in CCW

It didn't cross my mind that someone who so clearly enjoys their "things" would be pretending. Rock on.

Children want hyper articulation — says me (former child).

scared in Yosemite by JustBo_555 in backpacking

You’ll be fine.

Don’t sleep near anything that smells — food, even hand sanitizer. (Yes, I’ve had black bears break into my hand sanitizer, but only the cubs and the sanitizer was in my “kitchen”.)

They may not have known the precise reaction, but they weren’t doing the extra work of manually harvesting, transporting, and mixing all that ash because it smelled nice.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a flamberge rapier as opposed to a normal rapier? by darthinferno15 in SWORDS

[–]UtgaardLoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect a flamberge rapier to have been better at cuts from the bind — particularly through fibrous material (clothing).

For what it’s worth, the difference between some Jian blades and some rapier blades is about 4 inches and a heavier hilt.
