My father was a fighter pilot. He explained that at a sufficiently sharp angle, hitting water was like hitting concrete.

It’s interesting that the pro circumcision crowd who rant about hygiene don’t support girls having their labia cut off to prevent grime from accumulating between the folds. Circumcision should be reserved for actual medical reasons, like phimosis, and if possible at age of consent.

while also suggesting the pontiff should “stop catering to the Radical Left.”

Yeah, like that Jesus guy with the sick, and the poor, prostitutes, pariahs, lepers, etc. Pushing peace and love thy neighbor… Fucking leftist radical!

It’s highly relevant, since parents are the ultimate arbiters of their childrens’ health and well-being.

Precisely. Parents should protect their children from genital mutilation.

EDIT: also, parents are NOT the ultimate arbiters. Judges and social services are, and can and should remove children subject to genital mutilation.

I wonder what repairs are the Dems willing to make, and what safeguards would they try to put in place. No optimism here.

Well, it looks like progressive Democrats are making inroads.

BTW, the fact that these new democrats are called progressive really shows how the Democratic party are now the conservatives, and the GOP are essentially far, far right.

That is fucking dangerous

So, those electric contraptions that catch fire and don’t let occupants exit are called canned beans?

Learn something new each day.

Some engines will adjust spark advance by using the knock sensor, and when using a higher octane gas, will be more efficient. The gas is not more power dense, but it gets used more efficiently. If your car doesn’t, then it’s not better to use higher octane gas.

Roundabouts should decrease premiums, as they essentially eliminate Tbone collisions

I have for years named files that have a chronological component ymd , and if hours are relevant, hm. A few ymdhm.

Makes a lot of sense when ordering directories.

Edit: and the file name after that. Wouldn’t be useful without descriptive text.

they = a country that produces vodka

Fecking meddling Finns!

Shucks! I forgot that NK isn’t a dictatorship! My bad.

I still don’t see any public discussion on why Israel should be allowed to have nukes, and not Iran. That is the core idea of deterrence.

Israel has so much kompromat on western politicians, that they are basically held by their balls.

Also, the US Involvement in the war is almost certainly fueled by all the shit Israel has on Turd. The Epstein files, considering Epstein was a Mossad agent, must de devastating.

And not enough gold curtains

Clueless. Do your homework.

Naval Station Rota, and Morón Airbase are pretty fucking big, strategic, and not being able to use them is not trivial.

Bullshit:

“I would like to present new measures from Spain — first and foremost, a new military aid package worth EUR 1 billion for 2026. In total, Spain’s assistance in this war has reached EUR 4 billion,” Sanchez said.

Spain’s location is very important strategically, and not being able to us Naval Station Rota, and Morón airbase complicates things for the US. Disabling, no, but it certainly makes things harder.
