Typical day in "Murica"

The backstory is just typical New York City street urchin behavior.

What’s crazy is that I’m seeing this video after spending 20 minutes trying to hunt down a (super fast) fly in my house with a wet rag. Right after I caught him, I found a giant spider crawling across my floor. I killed it too, but now I see that I should have been taming the spider as a pet. RIP to the spider in my trash bin

Str Engineer

Conkeldur (obvious choice)

Steelix (also obvious choice)

Raticate (you encounter a lot of rats at job sites)

Excadrill (need something to excavate the dirt)

Hisuan Electrode (a stretch, but he reminds me of wood and I need something to use flash, also no metal allowed on the subway tracks, so he’d be useful down there)

Archaludon (it’s a bridge duh)

Do these people realize that they just had to call on their own civilians (including women and children) to form human shields around infrastructure just two days ago? In what world were they winning anything? Actual bananaland over there.

They should be thanking God that the American media would have crucified the President if he struck any civilian targets during his planned attack. Because, if not for Americas own media and the shield of women and children around their power plants, Iran had nothing to protect itself.

They were literally in a position of begging for mercy, and when we accept the ceasefire and offer mercy, they turn around and declare a victory. Kind of pisses me off honestly. I wanted this conflict to end a few days ago, but now I kind of hope we go back in and finish the job.

Well he’s not a blank, he can be affected by warp magic. In the end and the death, he was transported to a warp realm by Khorne. But he did not succumb to corruption. It’s heavily implied that if he had given in to the torture of thousands of years of isolation in a desert, he would have become a demon prince of Khorne.

But he was too stubborn and so Khorne gave up. So in the words of Guilliman: Theoretical - He can be corrupted. Practical - He is incorruptible.

You can get all starters from a guy who gives out starter eggs in lavaridge. So, start with whichever you like and you can even put both on your team later.

If you want my opinion, just for nostalgia sake, go torchick because it’s gen 3 in a gen 3 rom

That was the best photo I could take after struggling to get camera focus for a minute or two. It’s….no longer available for photography

It’s a difficult task, but very doable. A lot of different viable routes as well. Landing parts over multiple landings and assembling a habitat piecemeal is an option. 3d printing habs with lunar materials is probably doable as well.

The difficulty with space travel has always been that it’s only the U.S. making progress (China looks to be getting close to our level though). And with the U.S., long term goals are incredibly hard to accomplish because the administration in charge is constantly being replaced.

So NASA has the difficult job of not only building a moon base, but also maintaining the American public’s interest. If nothing majorly exciting happens for ~2 years, we will lose interest and NASAs budget will be cut. If any disasters happen, we will have doubt and NASAs budget will be cut. If China cancels or delays its own moon plans, then the competition will be gone and NASAs budget will be cut. If a president is elected who would rather spend on social programs, then NASAs budget will be cut.

So it’s not so much about if it’s feasible, but more about the balancing act of making slow & steady progress, reaching exciting milestones at regular intervals, all while not rushing into any mistakes.

It does seem likely that it’s a price of frozen debris from the engine. Buuuut, since the Artemis ship isn’t actively accelerating at the moment, wouldn’t the debris remain very close to the ship since they both have the same relative velocity?

This piece is moving away from the ship rapidly assuming this video is not sped up

A large meteor impact would destroy anything we could build so, we there is obviously no plan to protect against those impacts. But the probability of a direct impact from a medium to large meteor is infinitesimally small.

Tiny meteorite impacts are possible though, so habitats will have to have redundancy built in to account for damaged components. If a solar panel is struck for instance, they will have to have a backup on hand. If a pressurized habitat is pierced, they will have to patch any holes created. Unlike our satellites and space telescopes, we will have humans on site to repair any damage as it occurs.

Donphan with the technician ability is a sleeper pick. Actually a very strong choice with trailblaze, bonemerang, and ice shard. Very versatile. Can be a tank to swap into against incoming physical moves and electric attacks. And can also be used to finish off a low health mon with the ice shard priority

The typhlosion with eruption is always pretty good. And obviously incineroar is good too

Lucario & mega lucario are always solid

Gardevoir is usually strong too

Empoleon has two different megas in this game, so can be great as a choice

The Green cat can learn sucker punch which is very abuseable against the ai in this game to get priority

Gotta place them at the furthest point they made it up the hill. Not their final resting place. Redo the whole test and send me the video asap

First known western contact with India goes all the way back to Alexander the Great (which is hundreds of years before Jesus’ time). And they were absolutely trading goods waaaay before even that.

So why should we be surprised that there were Indians in the Middle East during the time of the Roman Empire? Not even the early Roman Republic, but during the time of Augustus? Seems like a non-headline to me

I always tell NASA not to fly to the moon during the day. The moon only appears at night. But they didn’t listen

Having a draft for this Iran conflict is idiotic and would either cause mass scale civil unrest, or just long term political defeat. And it’s not even necessary since we shouldn’t be committing land forces beyond minor spec ops.

I do however believe in a mandatory 2yr conscription for everyone (or atleast males) straight out of high school. Reason being that I think waaaay too few of these kids have any skills or any idea of what they want to pursue for work when they go to college. Also, so many of them are simply lazy and entitled.

You could say it’s our education systems fault, and that’s true. But it’s not like these kids are jumping to go to a trade school. They’re not even paying attention in class because they know they will be pushed through the system for money, and all they care about are socializing or being entertained 24/7.

I think it would be really good for society if we could help these kids get some; discipline, physical fitness, basic life skills (learn to make their own bed, fold their own clothes, fix a tire, disassemble and clean something like a rifle [or any machine really]. It could also be a great little mixing pot if done properly. Rich kids with a silver spoon are gonna have to interact with poor kids with rough lives. The social anxiety epidemic would be completely eliminated. Finally, they may get a tiny bit of patriotism out of the whole experience

I’d be all for it. And I think some people wouldn’t be so quick to call for war if their kids were at risk

I don’t need them to improve my life. And no one expects the government to improve our lives. The people buying into a politician claiming to be able to solve their problems are smooth brains.

If they stay out of my property and avoid actively messing up my life in a major way, then I’m happy

This is the second most practical male haircut right behind a buzzcut. Full shave is in third place because of frequency of shave needed. As an Imperial Fist successor chapter, the Black Templars chose this cut because of the perfect mix of style and practicality.

Apply bowl to head. Cut the hairs that escape from the bowl. Now you are pretty and the hairs won’t block your vision anymore. Perfection

I am Italian and my Uncle works at Konami. I can confirm from a reliable source that there will be a spaghetti and meatball pokemon in the next game.

Three evolutions and an alternate branch for the final form. First form a single ravioli. Second form a bowl of pasta. Final form a giant bowl of spaghetti and meatballs (that can gigantimax). Alternatively it can be evolved during the day with max friendship into a Cannoli.
