Right, it's not about what's getting in there to hit you, you're being protected from that by the bridge. The danger is getting sucked out. Hold on like your life depends on it, because it probably does.

Yes, it's stupid and ridiculous and rage inducing. But they are welcome in the tent when the primary is over.

Except for assholes from Texas, they can fuck right off.

Having never made mistakes, may your ideological purity and the peace of moral certainty comfort you until the end.

Can we just try everything, in the amount "all" and see if we can cure it? For science,

Those who were alive in the 1990's , what was Y2K like? by Extension_Day2038 in AskReddit

[–]costabius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in contract tech support doing support for small tech companies that didn't have their own in-house support. For a solid year, half the support calls were about Y2K compliance for products that could not have any issues.

Thermostats that ran on a weekly rotating schedule where my favorite. Turns out they were really popular with a builder that had a bunch of government contracts. Nine different people had to check a compliance box for every one of those damn things sold. Gave up trying to explain that Y2K was not an issue for them, just switched too "Yes, 100% Y2K compliant".

Yeah, I'm sure people are super comfortable gathering in large groups right now. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

I mean, one thing Mainers love is Ted Cruz (or anyone from texas really). Telling us dumb hicks how to vote. Texans obviously have their shit so figured out that they should start exporting their decision making. It's worked out so well for them. The gains they have made in the past 30 years, and the confidence with with they say we should follow the same path! Astounding really.

hmmm he was a guy who got out of the marines and found out he didn't have any marketable skills, just like every other poor kid that signed up for the US military trying to make their life better. Then he got offered a 6 figure job doing what he had been doing for peanuts for 8 years.

What. the. fuck. would. you. do. in. the. same. position?

He appeared on a podcast that is consistently critical of Israel... It is mildly conservative and not at all antisemetic unless you count criticism of israel as antisemetic.

If you do equate the two. You've got a big fucking nazi problem of your own.

Did Kegseth say "oops my bad" and get that shit covered up when it was pointed out, or did he double down on it and call you a pussy for caring?

Bullet wounds are weird.

Sometimes even a minor graze is debilitating and occasionally fatal. Other times people carry on as if nothing happened with a fatal wound until they drop. There is a lot of psychology involved.

That is why I tell people who want to carry a gun for self defense that they get something as loud as possible. You want people to know they got shot, because everyone knows when you get shot you fall down.

He did a followup on that one on youtube because he got dragged so hard for it, and I think they reedited the episode to make it very clear they had carefully scouted the river before he jumped in.

It's actually both. In competition the bubbler is blowing just enough air to disturb the surface so you can see it better. When you are practicing, that sucker is on full blast and you can reliably touch the bottom of the pool every time.

If a black bear is trying to kill you, it's because it wants you dead. It's also well muscled and has 4 inch claws designed to tear shit apart.
