I’m also an anglophone, but this seems not quite right to me. There’s no real need to insert a comma in that sentence, as there’s no real need to pause for clarity or pacing.

I’ll build them a replica Statue of Liberty from copper ore to finished product using only hand tools and transport it on foot.

What’s with the weird comma placement in the, title?

I know its not you, OP

Not the LAST person I would have expected to be vocal in opposition to this administration, but given his knife fixation I would have thought that he’d be quiet on the topic or a quiet conservative. Glad to see my intuition was wrong.

I refuse to criticize anyone that decides to take a jet landing with an arrested stop on an aircraft carrier compared to just a simple helicopter landing. That’s cool as hell.

Everything else about this moment was stupid and misleading though.

I read the Wikipedia article and it looks like the NTSB concluded that conversation and the subsequent “test” they did were inconclusive as the root cause of the engine failure. That specific engine had numerous problems reported prior to the flight and had been taken off and replaced before having even more reported after. It seems to be just coincidental. What’s just as wild to me is that the passenger that was ejected from the plane was even wearing his seatbelt. Explosive decompression still said nuh uh and ripped him out the window.

No. You have to be pretty deliberate about it. Honestly, its pretty impressive how well tuned it is.

The heat press or glue or whatever is too strong and keeps me from opening the bag cleanly. Top tier cereal bags essentially peel open and leave a clean hole at the top of the bag to pour from.

That qualifies.

• Doorbells and dogs barking in commercials
• General purpose household lighting above 3500K color temperature
• LED rope lighting bordering a storefront’s windows and doors
• Terrible cereal bags
• Turn indicators being on the inside corner of headlight assemblies
• 4 legged chairs/stools/tables at restaurants. By employing a 3 leg standard, they’re incapable of being wobbly

Motorola phones have a feature that allows you to “chop” with your phone twice to turn on/off the flashlight. It sounds super mundane, but it is way more convenient than you can imagine. Especially for me as an athletic trainer when I’m testing pupil response during a concussion evaluation. They also allow you to twist your phone twice to open the camera, but I don’t find that as convenient since double tapping the lock button also works.

Sounds like your childhood friend had a lot in common with Barron, Bono, and Mr. Hankey. /s

Blaming Valve for prediction markets is certainly a stretch…

It takes a special turd to not draw interest from basketball programs at 6’9" in the US. There’s some teams that recruit on height alone and worry about teaching skills later. The fact that he wasn’t even sniffed at by a college coach somewhere is pretty telling.

I’m on a second generation of Motorola phones. I gave them a shot with the 2020 g power and upgraded to the 2023 edge+. The g power was fine for about 2 years but then I really began to feel the brunt of having such a underperforming chipset. I’d definitely suggest getting something that’s more in the midrange price bracket given my experience. My advice so take it or leave it.

Good. Now if only they could make the Edge+ with the same relative spec sheet and ditch the curved glass in 2027. I’d buy it in a heartbeat for Graphene. My next phone WAS going to be a Pixel for the broader case/screen protector support, but that would make me reconsider cause I would really miss the chop chop flashlight.

I currently own the 2023 Motorola edge+ and love it. Its got flagship features at like half the price. I bought it for like $700 2-3 years ago.

• Snapdragon 8 gen 2
• 8GB RAM
• 512GB storage
• IP 68
• Triple camera 50-50-12MP
• Stereo sound
• WiFi7, Bluetooth LE
• NFC
• Fingerprint sensor under the screen
• 68W charging

The ONLY real drawback that I’ve had over 2 years is that the front glass is curved and breaks too easily for being Gorilla Glass. The curved design also means that case options are super limited so its a double whammy.

You’re not wrong, but we don’t have the luxury of only making decisions based on rationality. Sometimes you need to trust your intuition and fix the repercussions of those decisions with more rationally sound decisions when/if they backfire.

Personally, I’d rather have dealt with the blowback of Donald Trump’s corpse rotting in a shallow grave than having to deal with where we’re at currently.

How much stuff have the republicans already blamed democrats for?

A lot. But they can literally never back up any of their claims.

Do you think that the MAGA base wouldn’t execute Biden for his ‘crimes’ in Ukraine?

Desire to? Yeah, I’d assume so. They tried to overthrow the government and murder Democratic leadership once already. Be capable of? No.

My prediction is that in much the same way Italy and Germany unified after the deaths of their respective far right leaders, America would eventually move on and become more unified as well. Maga is a cult of personality with Trump as the sole proprietor. When he goes, there’d likely be a power vacuum too big to fill and the cult fractures into multiple small factions that eventually lose popularity. Mayyybe one or two starts to gain traction, but they’re much easier to deal with than the inertia Maga has right now.

People are capable of understanding context. Not that you’re totally wrong, but Biden trying and executing Trump for treasonous crimes isn’t the same as Putin torturing and poisoning Navalny in a Siberian prison camp.
