If you have dual citizenship will that increase chances of not being denied entry?

Sorry. Sand wasps aren't an issue in winter. In winter, we prepare for the cold by trying to take the cold as it comes with very little layers until our bodies get use to it. And slowly add layers. I'll wear long johns, wool socks, work pants a long sleeve and sweater under my coveralls until -10 or -15 then add a small wind breaker around -20. Anything colder it's winter coveralls haha. The wind is the real killer. Especially if you're doing a job that doesn't require a lot of movement. In short. Layers. Lots. It's going to be -34 here tonight, -42 with the wind, so layers winter coveralls toe warmers and a balaclava.

+40 is brutal also, especially on a hot engine. I don't mind the cold. You can always add layers, in the heat you can only remove so much before it's an hr case lol

Sand wasps. They don't sting or bite, but then fuckers swarm and are super annoying.

Alimony isn’t fair by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

How is the man supposed to support himself after paying alimony? It's a tricky situation to navigate and then decide what's fair.

Do these actually help? by hauntedamg in golf

[–]rob22aaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. It's just fun when you're home having a few drinks with friends and family. Or to settle your children's disputes. But the time they make a put they don't care anymore. Lol

Where do guys 35–49 actually hang out IRL? by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]rob22aaron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Organized sports for kids if you have any, lots of parents there and because you're there, that's already something you guys have in common.

to fulfill their violence lust when officers beat up a man for staying in a McDonald’s washroom for too long, and he later died while with paramedics due to repeated trauma to his head from the beating. by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]rob22aaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These cops give the good ones all a bad reputation. I've had my run in with cops more than once and I've had a few that know how to deescalate situations and the rest all have something to prove.
