The level of cope in this article directed towards the business class is legendary.

Two warships that only turned on their identification system at the end of their route during a ceasefire and still got turned away is a pretty far cry from an "insurance kicking in" situation for global shipping.

His entire OG staff is evaporating and he's letting them rip pieces off the boat they helped him build to do so. I honestly wish I could never see this dude's face or hear his voice again, but his slop is so ubiquitous it's impossible to escape.

But Zip Tie Tech is a fun channel that's come from the ashes of LTTs reputation.

That's actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.

I don't usually do this, but this is too funny not to call it out.

Helen O'Connell. The first person to truly get an accurate representation of the full organ (in humans), two thousand and fucking five. She started her research in the 90's. If you're ever wondering if the medical system is biased towards men, there you go. If you've seem an image of the full structure of the organ looking this:

That was Helen O'Connell. I stole that pic from here: https://tecscience.tec.mx/en/health/clitoris/

Trucking is so funny. There is an adversarial relationship between the drivers and the office, which you can see in this comment.

The industry is trying to solve safety issues caused by the nature of long haul driving and maintenance of profit in logistics by companies that use their services.

Trucking used to be a way a person could provide for their family, remain independent, and feel in control. Now, trucking is an industry where you are trapped in a moving computer designed primarily to reduce the insurance rates of the company that employs them, because their business practices and demands were so dangerous, individuals truckers had to drive more hours, get paid less for those hours, and literally drive themselves, and other motorists around them when they crashed, to death.

Then they blame the truckers as they race to bottom in hiring. Don't even get me started on nafta. Your industry sucks for the employees who are necessary to keep the economy moving.

I was actually just responding to your "well actually". That's funny!

Nightcrawler didn't get his powers in utero (although his physical mutation exists since birth, but was just as much related to his parentage), but he's literally one of the only mutants to have been famous for his fully active mutant power as a child.

I would "akshualy" be remiss in not mentioning that physical and mental stress activates almost as many mutants as puberty!

Both professor x and his sister had their powers in utero. Nightcrawler famously developed his powers pre-puberty, he was zipping around both physically mutated (from birth) and his teleportation as a young child. Generally mutants develop powers at puberty, but that's just a rule of thumb.

All she has to do is tell me she's not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.

They aren't your companions, you are exploiting them for companionship. These meat eating pets can't consent to a vegan diet, they are also not ethically required by their choice to not engage in the meat system.

That's your choice, you are forcing that choice on an animal that isn't getting anything from you they wouldn't get with a non-vegan pet owner, your love isn't special.

You could ethically choose to keep any number of naturally vegan animals. You selfishly choose to keep a cat or a dog cause you like them more.

Shit is messed up in my opinion and you buried the lead with your post. I'm glad other people were around to give context to this.

Ugh, I bought 100% alcohol by the gallon and made my own 70% disinfectant spray cause it was easier for me to source a full gallon of industrial alcohol than get a package of Clorox wipes.

I almost forgot that shit!

Is sound proofing really still this bad in the distant future?

I'm sure this is as much an access question as a preference question!

I usually prefer either adding a bit of concentrate to the top of a bowl, maybe mixing it in after I heat it a bit. But I'm also a big fan of just dabbing in general, using a DTv5 or banger.

How many of you vapists are also dabbing? I'm rethinking the word vapists after typing it...
