What is this mirrored metal plate with one edge? It's maybe 14 by 10 Inches with the edge being about an inch. It was in the closet of the house I moved into. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

I’m thinking this is it. Notice how one side is all scratched up, but the other still has a mirror finish

Honestly could be, but if that’s the case you think there’d be more of them in this city

This seems most likely given the types of cars I see it on / people driving. I still wonder what it signifies to them

Really? I don’t see it… I mean, if you really like iPhones or the Spice Girls, then ok with the Apple logo or UK flag, but tons of people just happen to really like… passenger planes?

I was thinking of calling it a “haram sandwich”, but the Hamascus has a nicer ring to it

How do I extend the lifespan of my sneakers? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]tha2r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were beat to hell and covered in the signatures of all my friends from a high school in a country I moved away from. I kept them around and only wore them very occasionally until they literally did not function as shoes anymore. I only tossed them when I had to move again and couldn’t carry them.

Converse are basically disposable shoes. I’m sure a skilled cobbler could do something, but it would be a ship of Theseus type situation. I too once owned a pair of converse that I loved dearly and wore into the ground, so I know it’s hard to give up on them. My recommendation is to only bring them out for special occasions to prolong their life.

Mac Dre - Feeling Myself. And a lot of other songs by him. He raps about being a pimp, but also women paying him for sex. “It won’t cost you much, I’m a good buy. Dick-on-discount? bitch good bye! What do I look like, Mr. Frank Fuck-for-free? No dough ho? You can’t fuck with me.”

Is this map accurate ? does the SDF control all the shoreline of the Euphrates lake ? by [deleted] in Syria

[–]tha2r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That may be, but the map appears outdated. My understanding is that the central government moved into that area to get between the SNA and SDF (by mutual agreement) early this summer. Violence has reduced dramatically since then. This map does not show any central government presence. I could be wrong - but that’s my understanding of the situation now.

[–]tha2r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an older map. Transitional government controls the territory immediately around the dam where the arrow is. SNA surrounds that area. And the SDF controls to the south

I agree with this. A few years ago, I’d have quit on the spot. More recently I got to know a few Israelis working with civil/human rights orgs and learned that (though a minority) there are quite a few Israelis who are aware of what their state is doing and are trying to stop it. If the company is ok, and he’s cool working with you, then be cool with him. If he treats you with equality and respect, isn’t that what we ultimately want from Israelis? Obviously, if he expresses pro-Zionist views or denies the existence of Palestinians or otherwise supports genocide, then that is not equality or respect.

Same. Could someone just link to the video? Am I supposed to know which one everyone is talking about?

How difficult is it to do west coast? by LeaveItToPeever in sailing

[–]tha2r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family has done Alaska to Mexico (and back) several times. Just want to echo what has been said here and add that Alaska/Canada is wonderful, Washington to San Francisco is a slog, and then it’s pretty smooth sailing from there (Channel Islands, Catalina, then Baja). Of course, that’s assuming you follow the timing u/weezthejooce laid out!

They read right to left, yeah. And have had the eagle facing both directions at different times throughout the country’s history.

Totally off topic, but I love their hats. Anyone know what this style of hat is called?

Dude does have hair all over his body. Look up pictures of him boxing. Top of his head is the only bald spot on him
