Just like Jesus would have wanted

So, the UK’s view is a bit overly local, and the US’ view is two and a half centuries out of date?

Yeah, decent assessment.

And this is why they ask you those weirdly specific questions, as well as do the metal detector.

It worked wonders for me

And more basic: if you attach a hard scale lump to a rubber surface, that rubber surface simply won’t seal anymore.

I’ve had one that had a big bucket that had a valve at the bottom. If that doesn’t sit flush, I can picture it leaking pretty easily.

It depends on how hard your water is. The calcium can cause any seal to not be a seal for long

Trump just sees this as a quick way to make 200k

Oh no.

Anyway

What, you didn’t think those huge forest fires occur because of things like, oh, I dunno, climate change or poor management and not allowing smaller natural fires to occur to temporarily benefit some overly rich assholes living in forested areas?

No, flamethrower helicopters!

Sex trafficker AND rapist

Mwaaaaap

It annoys me that she has the Dutchest name ever, and yet isn’t. I know many Canadians suffer from this condition, but still.

I work in workplace safety, hazardous materials/waste handling and certification. Nobody knows shit about the entire field.

The government leaves the whole thing to the certifying bodies, who audit on form and process without any technical knowledge. The actual rule-makers are either the personification of regulatory capture, or completely oblivious about how their rules will be interpreted in the real world.

The companies doing the work hire independent experts who are fully dependent on those companies and can’t afford to burn too many bridges, despite the fact that they are the only skilled people making important calls.

The majority of the companies (naturally) only care about the profits and will gladly find experts to agree with them and pressure employees to ignore the rules.

And most baffling of all: the people suffering under all the above just see the safety regulations that keep them alive and healthy as annoying and needlessly slowing them down.

I live and work in a place where these people have permanent employment contracts and get paid by the hour. They have no reason to be idiots, and yet…

“het kan me de reet roesten”

It’s sausage to me

The Dutch have this too.

Het zal me worst wezen

WHHYYYYY would you run a table like this? 12 minute cycles are just insane, and they’re obiously “maxed out” for rushhour, but that’s when those times are least realistic. Just run it every 15 minutes the whole day, and tone it down to every 20 at night.

So, this will be the first time Starship actually tries to lift anything other than an empty cargohold? Not actually into orbit though.

President musk is absolutely going to use NASA to funnel taxpayer money into his private wallet.
