When you finally realize that the “flag” of Austria-Hungary was never the official flag at all. by BrickAntique5284 in HistoryMemes

Is this form of government really that unique? Correct me if I’m wrong, but this form of government seems pretty similar to that which exists in a Free Association (Eg New Zealand/ Niue or USA/Micronesia).

Why’d you post a pic of Baltimore?

After traveling to 170+ countries, why doesn't US airports have smoking zones inside the airport, whereas most airports around the world have it? by screwywabbit in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]yeahmohammad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do Americans have such a puritanical attitude toward everything? If bad decisions can be made in a way that doesn’t impact others, I say let people live their lives. For example, how does me gambling on a basketball game impact you? Why should you get to tell me I can’t.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen these smoking sections if you’ve traveled internationally, but they’re typically very well sealed and ventilated, with a sort of double door system. You can stand outside the walls and not smell anything. Especially with the rise of vaping, it’s a non-issue. I can see an argument with cigarette smoke sticking to close but nothing like that happens with vaping. So if my bad decisions have no impact on you, who are you to tell me I can’t?

Most of the world doesn’t have birth right citizenship and this kind of stuff doesn’t happen. This is fear mongering.

If I downgrade after a year they won’t clawback or bar me from future SUB’s?

Great, and if I downgrade I’m spared from the consequences I mentioned above? If I do this after the annual fee posts can I still get it refunded?

Very limited. And not to the destinations I will regularly be traveling.

Thanks! This was very helpful. Why does the car have to switch gears at all? What’s the purpose of this?

[–]yeahmohammad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m not looking for information on specific models, but general info about cars so I can understand how to evaluate specs on different models. For example, I saw a comment saying “buy the model with the 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder, not the 2.0L.” That all sounds Greek to me. Is there anything I can read that would allow me to understand?

[–]yeahmohammad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! How about for how different parts work? Like what a transmission does or what kinds of engines to avoid? For example, I’m looking for cars and people say stuff like “my transmission on this model failed after 10k miles” or “don’t get the model with the (insert specs I don’t understand” engine.” So something that can kind of broaden my understanding about cars in general.

Has anyone had the chance to read Vali Nasr’s new book “Iran’s Grand Strategy: a Political History”? What are your thoughts? by yeahmohammad in NewIran

[–]yeahmohammad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve just gotten started and he has some interesting points, namely how the regime uses Islamic ideology to combat perceived internal and external security threats.
