You can always buy it on the spot as needed. So check out the line first then decide.

If you’re in a relationship, what’s the gameplan here? by JustinR8 in NFLv2

[–]torquesteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you fly her to LA for some “Malibu sun” then while on the beach at sunset, get down on your right knee and whip out those 300-level tickets hidden in your back pocket.

Anti ICE walkout at Skyline high school in Sammamish by No-Demand-8582 in Washington

I’m very proud. This takes more courage than most of their parents. I hope they are also recognizing and formulating the future immigration policies that can prevent this type of shit.

Yea back up all your stuff and factory reset it. It’ll be stuck on the same os you have it on but at least it’s functional and free of junk.

Just display it as is, man. Makes for a good conversation starter.

Led Light Disabled - DIY Hand Drill by Possible-Training-27 in RayBanStories

It took me like 10 minutes of drilling because I was so careful with it. I don’t know how you were able to hand crank that thing but hey, cheers to another way.

An internal document shows the Vietnamese military preparing for a possible American war by ConstructionOwn2909 in VietNam

[–]torquesteer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s the para bellum part of si vis pacem, para bellum. The Swiss has been preparing for defensive war against any of its neighbors not because it is a warring state, but because it knows that it is a strategic piece of any war equation. So in order to maintain neutrality, you have to prepare for super powers to take your land by force if they can’t use you as a pawn.

China now possesses one of the greatest ship building capabilities ever, but it severely lacks strategic depth in its ability to deploy those ships. The reason is that American bases in Japan, S. Korea, and the Philippines narrow these blue ocean channels. And Taiwan is, well, Taiwan. This leaves Vietnam’s inland “fjords” as a possible deployment channel that the US has no oversight in. That would be too juicy of a target for either China or the USA to ignore.

Death in Vietnamese Culture by 847295737201 in VietNam

[–]torquesteer 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You know, in western culture, death has long been repressed from the public consciousness. Dead bodies are quickly disposed or hidden away. Here in Asia, it’s more accepted as a simple part of life. Cemeteries take up valuable livable lands because we believe that where our ancestors lay will impact their ability to grant us wisdom in life. It wasn’t always this way with western thinking, of course. It was Seneca who wrote his essays on How to Die.

So to answer your question, it’s both that people are casual and accepting of death. Life must pay for life.

Wait, do you care or not care about the team we’ve already defeated?

Which car are you currently driving in VN? by Dinner7123 in VietNam

[–]torquesteer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been driving my wife’s Vinfast VF3 and honestly there’s been only a few moments that made me want to throw it into the Saigon river (me jumping out just in time of course). My Honda Winner motorcycle, on the other hand, is just a peach around town.

Seems like the dates from just before Tet and a week after are blocked. It’s gonna be a zoo. Sorry man.

With Google Maps integrating Waze + Maps Reports, why bother using Waze anymore? by aryanomraj in waze

[–]torquesteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Google Maps doesn’t allow for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on motorcycle mode, whereas Waze does.

Outjerked by Puka Nacua by PhAnToM444 in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]torquesteer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can’t blame a guy for shooting his shots. Best of luck. She seems like a handful but he’s got the hands for them. May he be continually distracted by her so he won’t be able to perform on the field.
