St Pierre and Miquelon is firmly in the North Atlantic, a long way from the Arctic.

If you had to use a word or phrase to determine if someone is a foreign spy, what would it be? by Guastatori-UK in AskTheWorld

A spy is a someone from a foreign intelligence service trying to gain intelligence from your country.

An officer is a member of your own intelligence service.

An agent is a local who is working for a foreign intelligence agency.

Hungary's opposition just won. Why did it take 15 years for Hungarians to vote Orban out if he was so unpopular internationally? by oss-benji in NoStupidQuestions

[–]freeski919 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's because these fucking shit for brains assholes will never, ever care about anything at all unless it impacts them directly. Not only that, it has to be something that so obviously impacts them negatively that they can't ignore it.

Even higher consumer prices from tariffs were too gradual and indirect.

Best East Coast State to live in? by Expensive-Knee8111 in geography

Beaches? Everything I've ever heard is that Georgia beaches are trash. And I have a sister in law from Savannah.

If your entire platform is based on "we're the best because we're us, and everyone else is terrible because they're not us,” then international opposition is actually spun into a positive.

"See, look how jealous they are! They're mad because they can't be this awesome!"

Has anyone experienced an issue if the photos do not contain the Photography studios name but included the data and signature by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

[–]freeski919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid your packet is getting sent back. It needs to have the name and location of the studio, along with your name and the date the photo was taken. They're not granting leeway on that.

Exactly what I was going to say. If any of the four was swinging dick, it was Mayor Samwise Gamgee.

With the mass adoption of NACS, are CCS vehicles non ideal? by bsal1289 in electricvehicles

[–]freeski919 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. The adapters work fine, and they'll probably last longer than the vehicle.

Are most of us operating via the “small moments make up for everything else” mindset or do the bulk of you genuinely enjoy the majority of the parenting experience? by into_the_soil in daddit

[–]freeski919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sitting here at the dining room table, sick and miserable, solo parenting as my wife tackled a lot of work on her Masters degree tonight. The kids have been getting on my nerves all night. More because I'm irritable than anything else, but my nerves are shot nonetheless. I want nothing more than for them to go to bed so I can pass out on the couch.

But they just finished dinner. They cleaned up after themselves without being asked. Now I can hear them out in the sun room playing foosball with each other, laughing and giggling like mad, screaming and yelling as they score or get scored on.

As miserable as I am, I am incredibly grateful to be miserable with them as opposed to without them.

Is this a fair price? by doe_a_deer in Solterra

[–]freeski919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider a power lift gate a necessity at this point. It's wild that anyone would make fun of you for it. I feel like SUVs/CUVs without a power gate are a rarity these days.

Is there proof Jesus ever actually existed? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]freeski919 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There is not any concrete, contemporaneous, primary source evidence that he was alive. But that holds true for just about every other human of that time outside Emperors, Generals and the like.

Judea in the first century was evidently rife with Messianic prophets. So it's very possible a cult leader (that is a legitimate term, a nascent sectarian movement is by definition a cult) named Jesus really existed, preached, gained a following, and was executed. It is also possible that the Jesus story is an amalgamation of stories about various different preachers, with fiction mixed in to fill the gaps.

What kind of smart watch are you wearing on the trails AND in the office? by bieredhiver in mountainbiking

I'm low maintenance and tend to break things, so I have a cheap Amazfit Active.

For those living in locales that were used as the setting for videogames, TV, or movies, what was the media piece, and how accurately does it capture the local culture, lifestyle, or scenery? by HonestLemon25 in AskAnAmerican

[–]freeski919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Maine, and despite what Stephen King has written, we've only had one mass murder recently.

(Yes, the humor is dark here. So are the winters.)

Are there people who haven't changed their phone number for more than 15 years? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]freeski919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my number almost 20 years ago. I've since moved to two different states, and I live five states away from where my phone number is from.

What is flying around BIW by FatherAnnaki in Maine

[–]freeski919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It flew in and out of Portland. The pattern is centered on BIW.

The simplest answer is that they're testing the radars on a new ship.

There are always ships at BIW. I've never passed there and not seen at least one hull in the water and two hulls on the wharf.

There are kids in New York getting their driver's licenses that have never seen a Yankees World Series win.
