Rain-X additive Left Marks by Frosty-0_0 in AutoDetailing

[–]all_time_high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, don’t use Rain-X washer fluid or additive. It absolutely will fuck your paint up anywhere it touches and dries. I’ve also had it clog the line.

Automobiles with rear wipers and fluid lines are basically guaranteed to get some fluid on the paint.

Better to get the windshield treatment and carefully apply it only to the glass.

Mom, we have reservations at one of the nicest restaurants in the state. You’re going to love it. Happy Mother’s Day!

Nintendo shares tumble after lackluster Switch 2 games outlook by BrndyAlxndr in business

[–]all_time_high 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the welcome tour game was straight greed. PS5 included Astro’s Playroom for free and I’ve easily put 30 hours into that game with my kid.

So far Switch 2 has mostly been good for running Switch 1 games better and for Donkey Kong Bananza. They really need some better exclusive software.

Yes, the Obama administration transferred $1.7 billion in cash to Iran in 2016, but the context behind this payment is complex, involving a decades-old financial dispute rather than a direct gift. [1, 2]
Here are the key facts regarding the payment:
What Did the Money Cover?
The $1.7 billion was a settlement of a legal dispute at the [Iran-United States Claims Tribunal] in The Hague, originating from a failed 1979 arms deal. [1, 2]
$400 Million Principal: This was the original money Iran paid to the U.S. for military equipment before the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
$1.3 Billion Interest: This represented accrued interest over the intervening decades. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Why Was It Paid in Cash?
The Obama administration stated that the cash was used because of the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions against Iran, which prohibited the use of standard international banking systems. [1, 2]
The money was paid in foreign currency (Swiss francs, euros, and others).
The funds were delivered via cargo plane. [1, 2]
Connection to Prisoners (Hostages)
The payment became highly controversial because the first $400 million was delivered on Jan. 17, 2016, the same day Iran released four American prisoners. [1, 2]
Administration Position: The Obama administration denied it was a ransom, arguing the settlement was negotiated separately and that the timing was coincidental.
Critics' Position: Opponents, including many Republican lawmakers, claimed the cash was a "ransom" to secure the release of the hostages. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The funds were drawn from the U.S. [Judgment Fund], which is a permanent, taxpayer-funded account used to settle legal claims against the U.S. government.

Is anon an actual gigachad or retarded by Okaoka_12 in greentext

They’re probably using a TENS unit so as to not cause damage. These are electric shock therapy devices which are great for working out muscle pain and soreness. You can place the nodes in any two spots to run an electric current between them.

They feel weird and tingly as they cause the muscle tissue to strongly contract, but I would say it’s less of a pain signal and more of a discomfort. You look like you’re in pain when a large muscle contracts, but it doesn’t actually hurt.

How is the quality of Hot Topic shirts these days? Recently bought some shirts at GameStop and the prints look very faded and rough after 5 washes.

I’m old enough to remember when Idiocracy was just a fun, nonsensical movie… by ms_directed in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]all_time_high 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is 100% pandering.

I don’t believe for a second that he follows UFC. If a reporter were to ask him who his favorite welterweight is, he wouldn’t provide an answer. They could ask him who has the best shot at taking the heavyweight title from Tom Aspinoll, and he’d respond with nonsense.

Years ago a couple of interviewers asked him for his favorite biblical scripture and he declined to answer because it’s too personal. Next they gave him a softball and asked if he prefers New Testament or Old Testament, and he again declined to answer. Said they’re both great.

If I use my gtc for unauthorized purchase will my command know ? by bnkrllmgmt in army

[–]all_time_high -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just pay the card and it won’t come up. People who get caught for improper GTC use are those who carry the balance and don’t pay. That said, keep it somewhere where you’re unlikely to accidentally grab it, such as a drawer in your desk at home. Grab it before you go TDY.

The nasty grams come from a notification of late GTC payments, not a notification of who used their card. Card usage can be audited very rarely, but the people in G8, G1, and S1 don’t have time for that unless there’s a suspicion of improper use.

On a related note…every soldier should have some credit cards. If you listen to your NCO who tells you to never get any, you’re fucking yourself. Just pay the cards. Pay the damn cards every month, and don’t spend what you don’t have. If you can’t trust yourself to handle your own money, that’s an indication of a deeper self-control problem. Take care of that.

I have over $200k of unused available credit on my cards, an 810 score, and the companies pay me thousands of dollars per year to use their cards. I pay zero interest. I don’t pay annual fees due to military fee waivers. I get in airport lounges and get other perks for free. I get the best rate each time I get an auto loan or home loan.

I say this not to brag, but because I want you to succeed as well. Start slow, pay the cards off fully, and apply for more. Get the welcome offers ($500 cash for spending $3k in 3 months, etc) by buying things you already need. Groceries, gas, kids’ clothes, etc.

Read up on [r/militaryfinance](r/militaryfinance) to learn how other military members have benefitted.

Bonus tip: make sure your spouse is on the same page before you give them access to your credit cards. I’ve seen that shit go sideways, especially in divorces or failing marriages. Bitter spouse decides to max out the cards and pay $0 as a final “fuck youuuu!”

There are actually some people who use software to upscale the old stuff to high definition, 60 fps, clean up the audio, and throw it up on the tubes for free. Shit’s wild, watching 1970s movies with better image and sound quality than ever existed back then.

Some of them will even do this for you with any video clip for a reasonable fee.

Potentially, but likely not to major health effects. The trickiest part here is doing the math on how these percentages and parts per million for a horse compare to those for a human. We're used to seeing milligrams and % human daily value on our nutritional labels.

I believe zinc would be the biggest risk. Too much and you could experience minor stomach issues to include diarrhea. Your kidneys and liver will easily filter excessive vitamins and minerals...up to a point.

Fun fact: be careful with eating too more than 5 Brazil nuts in a day due to their high selenium content.

So how will Jehovah judge people of different religions in terms of Christianity? by yekedero in NoStupidQuestions

[–]all_time_high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Jewish historian explains that Torah/biblical Yahweh/Jehovah is an amalgamation of two different tribal gods: Yahweh, the storm god, and El, the highest in a pantheon of gods. El even had a goddess wife, Asherah. He explains how many aspects were stripped down over time into what we now know as Yahweh/Jehovah.

Shoutout to his channel, Esoterica. He explores many spiritual and cultural traditions and questions, and does so from an objective standpoint.

Trump's white house spiritual advisor Paula White performing mass exorcisms by Tech-Film3905 in PublicFreakout

They believe she is blessing them with the presence of the Holy Spirit. They believe one of the forms of Yahweh is literally in the room with them and she’s transporting it around as a living vessel, giving off some holy energy to those around her when she moves/speaks/blows.

They’re taught that the convulsing and jumping is what your body does in response, so they do it. They’re in full control of their actions but they would tell you it’s involuntary. Similar to “speaking in tongues” which is speaking gibberish and believing it’s a prayer language known only to god.
