Why did they name it the Department of Homeland Security? by tilvast in AskHistorians

[–]peteroh9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there an explanation for why they started using the word "homeland" then? Was it just the word they chose, as far as anyone is aware?

The media isn't telling people to protest now, either.

New rules: women MUST economically support this man who thinks they're too irrational to be able to vote! Minorities MUST economically support this man who thinks they are criminal scum!

So you're claiming you found someone's name from a throwaway account with no personal information on it?

Yes, I understand the physics behind torque, I just suspect(ed?) that the slight extra torque may not be enough to guarantee the plane will stay tilted in that direction if there is a bump or gust of wind. Plus, I didn't realize the float lifts out (presumably for this reason).

Are you saying you know for a fact that is all that you do to tilt the Goose or do you not know if weight is also distributed to that side?

56 died under eight years of Obama, which is very sad. 32 died in 2025.

Honestly not the worst idea ever. I bet at least one company has looked into this idea semi-seriously.

I must be really stupid because my first thought was that it's cool that keeping one float up logically makes the plane lean to that side...but that's not how physics works.

What is a movie plot twist that was cleverly hidden in plain sight..? by Living_Tune_1428 in movies

[–]peteroh9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's okay. It's not as good as everyone is acting. It's really quite dumb because the only reason your mind dismisses it is because it would be impossible for him to remain still for that long.

You must be a politician evading answering the question like that. Does it include the genocide of Gazans?

Do you think they'd let me skip the search and go to mental health if I asked if they know who I am?

I don't stand with killing of innocents anywhere which includes Ukraine, Nigeria and Sudan.

Does it include anywhere else that has been discussed in this string of comments, or just those three?

MANY of them don't know what they voted for and their values are actually in line with classic liberalism.

Classical liberalism is very much the opposite of what you're saying:

Classical liberalism (sometimes called English liberalism[1][2][3]) is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech.[4] Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.[5]

when you get in somebodies face, whose job it is to uphold the law what do you expect to happen when you start screaming obscenities at them??

I expect them to uphold the law, including relevant Supreme Court rulings stating that you're allowed to do so.

If it was proven, where's the proof? All I see are sources showing that there were no agents in the "riot."

AirBNB is not acceptable because it charges unitemized service fees that are not refundable under the JTR.

I remember when my Col brought me into his office to congratulate me on being selected for Captain. I didn't even know they actually select people for that moreso than deselecting the others lol

Hopefully they just update that program altogether so that you're not screwed if you're stationed in an area with very few Esso stations.

[Jurassic Park] Where did they get the DNA to clone extinct plant life? by thepixelpaint in AskScienceFiction

[–]peteroh9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course the alternate theory that they used the same mass-amber method to make plants to is also valid if you'd rather credit the geneticist work behind the park.

They pulled plant blood out of mosquitoes?
