Dave the Diver and Dredge come to mind.

And nowadays they are supplemented and partially superseded by European EN directives. This is the kind of stuff that hardly anyone realizes but is enormously helpful in everyday life. Your toilet seat breaks, you just go ahead and buy a new one. Its mount points, dimensions, and load bearing characteristics are standardized so no need to get a degree in toiletology or whatever. Just buy any one you like. Same idea with light bulbs, printer paper, piping connections, door jambs, etc. etc. Standardization makes life SO much easier.

It is what it is.

But you can’t kiss a duck on the lips from the word go. Just ask Neil Degrasse Tyson.

That’s what happens when you forget but keep trying and then make a new post about it.

You know what doesn’t take effort? Writing stupid lists like that for other people to follow.

Boss is a lazy SOB.

I wasn’t aware of the existence of this tool until now, so thanks for posting this here.

Let me guess, it’s about…leather-upholstered furniture?

It’s like old people on Facebook. ORDER CORN

“Most US voters say” AKA Not Gonna Happen.

Honestly I don’t understand why Iran hasn’t felt some very real consequences for its support of Russia yet. Like, why do the factories producing Shahed still exist?

Hence their ongoing efforts to ban Critical Race Theory.

I wouldn’t mind my tax money paying for their one-way tickets. Especially if they leave their passport at the gate.

But if the help had come from North Korea or China, Vlad would have been fine with it.

Or, or, hear me out: just close that cesspool right down to make the world a better place.

Doesn’t Storm Shadow require Western operators to program targets? I want Ukraine to win this war of national survival (unlike the US administration) but Western operators programming missiles to hit targets in Russia does sound escalatory to me. I’d rather see Ukraine receive a decent number of F16s (i.e. much more than currently pledged) with corresponding munitions. There’s a lot of really useful stuff in the Western arsenal that would otherwise remain unused forever, including older-gen glide bombs & standoff weapons. It’s not going to be the Wunderwaffen winning this war, anyway. But an ample supply of decent weapons could work wonders. Just look at the success of Russia’s cheap glide bomb upgrades. (Sorry for the wall of text, by the way, but I can’t get Connect for Android to retain line breaks)

That’s cool. Means Ukraine doesn’t have to burden itself with housing and feeding them when they surrender.

Didn’t you know,? Protecting citizens is “communism” and therefore “un-American”.

Lucas Pope is a genius.
