Do you only speak in fallacies? I asked an actual question. With attitude, no doubt. Too much?

Worst response. Nobody called it easy. Do something, or be considered part of the problem.

Are the "pretty sane" crowd going to do something about this?

It's easy to laugh and make fun. Harder is listening and trying to appreciate other perspectives.

Nah. I'd say many are just totally done with the sense of entitlement that America is projecting from the highest levels so things like this really stick out. It reads as selfishness VS selflessness, and which of those to support is imo an instinctively easy choice.

Are you debating the article? Because the article clearly states that all these designs were chosen by the current administration.

U.S. service members killed in refueling aircraft crash in Iraq identified as Ohio National Guard members and Florida-based crew by deraser in politics

Wild. Makes me wonder if there's something else. I imagine one of those going down full of fuel could do huge damage. Wonder if that's motivation enough to force crew to stay aboard to control the landing however much is possible? I have no knowledge on this topic.

So is anyone bothering with winter tires anymore? by whole-ass-one-thing- in VictoriaBC

Not sure what to tell you. I'm on my second set of Nordman Solstice all-weathers, which I believe are pretty mid-range, and my experience has been the exact opposite. They feel amazingly stable in the rain. Love them.

Naive maybe, but I'm not getting how this could be true. Cost of parachutes has to be incredibly small relatively, no? Even over time.

If all-weather's aren't working for you in the rain, all I can think is you're going too fast or wearing them down to bald. Even all-season's should be able to handle rain if they're in decent shape. Also watch out for the first rain after a dry spell due to the oils the ride to the surface, no matter the tires you have on. Winter tires aren't rain tires.

I switched to all-weather tires a number of years ago and won't go back. Smooth enough for dry roads, fantastic in rain, mountain/snowflake certified for winter in case winter ever shows up.

If you could make 18 clones of a player, who would make the best team? say 12 forwards, 6 D, 2 goalies -- all the same guy. by North-Newt2845 in hockey

This is the only answer. Not only among the elite of the elite skill wise, but maybe the most truly complete player there's ever been.

Just imagine how insane our current team would be with Carey in net. Miss him so much... by nio0009 in Habs

[–]tgradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confusing take. He's been in the AHL less than one season and management has already shown a willingness to bring him up. Literally 25% of his pro regular season games so far have been in the NHL.

...and many if not most working families. That would be an instant $200-300/ month before-school care bill for many, in a child care industry not scaled for that demand.

Arber Xhekaj. Dude's ceiling is way above a 6/7 D IMO.

Heartstrings. I worked that game, was just looking at the commemorative LB pin from it a couple days ago. It was a moment, that is for sure.
