A reasonable skeptic is actually a smart one.

Yeah maybe. But neither you nor the Brainworm driving the RFK Jr. skinsuit are reasonable skeptical. The Brainworm has decided that vaccines are bad, and is attempting to cherry pick much more data to try to back up his claims. And you are trying to say that behavior is valid and part of the scientific process, which it absolutely the fuck is not.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but because these are state charges, a future president couldn’t, say, pardon him and let him out whenever, right?

If they instantly reduce the tax rate to 0% it most benefits the rich folks with expensive property.

Think you just answered your own question

Similarly, Helldivers is also a prequel to WH40K

Way too big. That’s Drydock 12 at Newport News Shipbuilding, which is some 2173 feet (~660 meters) long. 150 meters should be roughly 1/4 of that drydock, but the ship looks like it takes up closer to 2/3 of the available space, meaning it appears closer to about 400 meters in length.

a consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options

See, if it’s easy to cancel, then a consumer can leave your service, try something else, and then cancel that and come back if they don’t like the alternative.

Also, imperative for who? Your bottom line?

A screw, bolt, nut, etc. that could feasibly have come from the car itself

I think part of the land purchase was CAH pledging to do everything they can to slow down eminent domain claims.

So by implication, the more prominent leaders of the Taliban don’t have souls? I suppose that tracks?

See, the problem Republicans face is that no one in their right minds trusts them. Too many GOP candidates have said one thing to get elected then pivoted 180° once in office for most people to believe a word out of their mouths. Actions speak louder than words, so unless Reichert is doing something more meaningful than empty promises about maintaining abortion access, I guarantee he’ll try to ban abortion in WA state if elected.

To add on, most of us are probably used to seeing American Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers, which have flight decks covering approx. 4.5 and 5 acres respectively, while the Liaoning only has about 3.5 acres, and loses a lot of that real estate to the ski jump. American carriers tend to be built with extra parking spaces for aircraft on the deck, partially to get more bang for our buck, but also because you can park planes on a CATOBAR deck without much difficulty.

In addition, Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers each carry approx. 90 aircraft of various types, compared to the Liaoning’s 45 or so.

The bottom line is American carriers tend to keep aircraft on deck while sailing around, because they carry so many of them and have more space on the deck for parking, while the Liaoning likely has enough hangar bay space for her much smaller complement of aircraft.

Was at a brewery last night where the “bathroom” was a row of sinks, and then a row of doors labeled “sit” or “stand”. The commode cubicles were full length walls and doors, totally private, and this just makes so much more sense to me

…in hospice since February 2023.

Depends on the phase of construction. The pressure hull will be fully complete before being floated for the first time, with most (if not all) systems installed. But there still may be operational testing, training, etc. going on that is part of the construction process. Those types of things can take place waterborne (and in some cases are required to), which frees up space for construction of the next hull to begin.

I see where you’re coming from on it being AI generated, but I think it’s actually the wings and canards from a second plane perfectly behind the front one. If you look closely, you can see the nose as well.

The actual quantity of radioactive waste generated is tiny, and even combining the storage space for waste products with the footprint of the reactor plant itself, nuclear is by far the most energy-dense and space-efficient form of power generation we have.

Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat

Even if someone has used it only once, even if they just tried it, they are ineligible for military service.

Well that’s just false. You’ll get denied if you pop hot on a drug test at MEPS, but they don’t tend to care if you’ve smoked in the past, except as a barometer for if you’ll smoke in the future. And, like almost everything else in the DoD, there’s a waiver form you can fill out for it too

This is about bugging people to work when they are off the clock.

And that’s exactly what Kevin is advocating for. He wants the benefits of an on-call team without having to pay for an on-call team.

Ordinarily, I might agree. However, this suspension is because musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company in Brazil, IAW Brazilian law. That’s a reasonable ask for a company that’s actively doing business in the country. If a billionaire* crybaby refuses to follow the law, then he gets to deal with the consequences. FA meet FO.
