When I was first teaching my son the alphabet, we got to “W” and, before I could say it, he called it “two vees!” It was so cute.

The US economy is like the most stable economy in the world. And they don't double tax you, depending on where you live and the tax treaty.

But since the kei truck cannot travel over 55 mph, that makes it more dangerous!

You're right; 2/3 of worldwide energy is actually waste heat.

Here's the chart from 2007: Waste heat / losses are in the top right, although it doesn't show the transport sector losses which are higher than for coal generation.

What this means is that when we fully electrify all sectors, by using renewable energy such as wind and solar, our total energy generation capacity will only need to be about 1/3 to 1/4 of what we currently produce today to fulfill our current energy needs. That's huge.

The supreme Court was quoting 12th century English common law in support for the abolition of roe versus Wade, if that tells you anything.

Also they want to "increase the supply of ~~toddlers~~ infants" for the domestic US adoption industry, which was also in Alitos opinion.

And, you know what they say about opinions...

What blew me away with his Borat character is how gullible the people he worked over were. Some were practically falling over themselves to befriend an anti Semite like him.

Even after the dude was famous, politicians were still acting like he was a legitimate, nice antisemite trying to whore out his daughter.

Wow. This is worse than George Bush Jr!

They're still really sad when Obama took all their guns back in 2012. That's why Republicans are so insecure, because they don't have any guns! The government took them all. I think they sent them to Mexico, or something.

Right??

Reddit used to have a whole separate called /r/HermanCainawards that posted COVID Darwin award winners.

It was brutal but honestly the recipients all earned it.
