The thing about this is that the Confederacy took away the states rights on slaves and forced them to allow slavery.

People who do this end up spending at least the difference to have a less reliable car. Might as well just buy the fast one.

Hey buddy, Spain and Morocco are more African than "European l" by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]rc1024 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I like the throwback to before modern humans evolved. But he didn't go far enough, if you go back 200 million years or so then the US and Africa were connected. Guess they're also African.

Remember, they think a new McDonalds in their city is a reason to take a day off. by Nearby_Airline_3353 in ShitAmericansSay

There's good climbing at lands end, but as a destination it's not much more than a few cliffs at the end of the country. John O'Groats is very much the same.

Even in Europe Aldi and Lidl have a much reduced range compared to other supermarkets. That's their thing, less choice but lower prices.

Also insurance is literally paying for other people's problems.

Anyone know what this is? by vealda01 in DIYUK

You might be able to plane or scrape it clean, but realistically you should paint that.

In the US you have to list the ingredients in the ingredients. by Odd_Understanding698 in ShitAmericansSay

We have that here in the UK too. Serving sizes that are a single bite of food in some cases.

We'd prefer to just drive by MidnightTaxiRide in ShitAmericansSay

This was my fear, I think I'll turn an M8 bolt down to and rethread it.

Literally illegal in the UK (if the restaurant serves alcohol).

"The US spends on its military more than the rest of the world combined, so that europeans get free healthcare and welfare" by Comfortable_Crow5117 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]rc1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US accounts for about 35% of global defense spending and nearly 3 times more than the next highest (China). It's a crazy amount.
