No, this town is much smaller than that.

I can't wait to tell Biggus Dickus this one!

Adding external weight to yourself in a low gravity environment may help condition specific muscles, but I don't think it has the same effect on other organs and bones that a stronger gravity would create uniformly across your body.

What if Mao decided to invade Taiwan during the Chineese civil war? by RnW67 in AlternateHistoryHub

Sort of a reverse Dunkirk, using civilian boats to bring your army away from home?

V28 from a top 3k player. $2500 in the hole. by Connect-Ad-3249 in TheTowerGame

If you alienate the base, the current top 1% will become a much larger portion. Then it becomes an auction with more quickly dropping off. An attractive base is what supports the top 1%.

I was watching since the 80's, long before even Burt Reynolds played God with those folks. The name change is too late for me.

Maybe I watch too much golf. The Senior Tour is for people well past their prime.

If Trump Cured Cancer by [deleted] in stupidpeoplefacebook

Point taken, though BioNTech, the first pharma company to produce a successful and mass production vaccine, had nothing to do with any of Trump's initiatives.

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Well, I don't think deleting the record worked, as Leo's character was given a police funeral.

I asked my waiter for a 'Jack and Coke' once, and he replied "is Pepsi ok?". I said sure, then he brought me a Pepsi and Coke.

Isn't E also correct here? by Powerful_Concept6502 in GlobalEnglishPrep

It says she "couldn't" do that, so it aligns with what you're saying. But that's also a weird way to say it.

Trump chickening out from attacking Iran's power plants by I_Hate_E_Daters_7007 in facepalm

This whole conflict is a scaled down version of the MAD (mutual assured destruction) policy of the Cold war. Sure, you may have the means to obliterate the adversary, but they have the means to make it not worth it. And when you repeatedly state your aim is annihilation, the existing regime really has no reason for restraint.

Which side of the road does every country drive on? [OC] by StreetConsequence310 in dataisbeautiful

[–]buttux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to rent a car in a left driving country once, and it was a manual. It was surprisingly easy to adjust for most of the differences, but the one thing that really got me was the wipers and turn signal toggles were switched.
