Russia during official events and gatherings, Israel the rest of the time.

Good thing I have a bike. My car broke down like 4 years ago, been biking since. People scare me, so I don’t have places to be.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

Israel is just a US proxy state to incite wars in the Middle East. Same old, same old.

Slightly more believable than “the best in the world”.

So that Hollywood trope of using a gasoline trail as a make-shift fuse and lighting it by dropping a cigarette on it is a construct of fiction?

Edit: Damn, you’re right

I assume they meant the vapors from the gasoline, not from the cigarette.

The workers at my local gas station go outside of the shop to smoke. I once asked them if that wasn’t dangerous and they said they have a ventilation system that pushes the vapors out the other way and that it’s fine to smoke here (it’s still disallowed as per house rules but they don’t really care)

I guess it depends on what burns. Water is conductive, so you might not want to use it to put out an electrical fire because of the risk of electrocution.

Oh no, that is horrible. He should quickly pardon them, just like he did with the Jan 6 insurrectionists.

I had to look up what TDS is and for others, it’s short for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, an epithet MAGA put on people they don’t like to insinuate that they fear Trump and his ilk.

Germany. IIRC the topic was Romans, not Liege specifically.

Asterix was pretty popular in the 90s Central Europe. The movies were in theaters, the older ones got prime time slots on TV, the comics were in every book store’s kids section. I remember laughing my ass off in the movie theater at the scene with the bear when Asterix in America came out.

When I was in elementary, my teacher said that “Lutetia” was how the Romans called the city of Liege. As an avid reader of Asterix comics, I knew this isn’t true and corrected her and said it was the Roman name of Paris. She insisted that it is Liege. Anyway, the next day, she came back to class and said that she looked it up and that I was indeed correct and Lutetia referred to Paris and gave me a chocolate bar and told me to keep reading comics. Good teacher.

Give him a jar of motor oil

Bolognese “sauce” is actually a stew and you just dump pasta in there. Don’t use spaghetti for it tho, spaghetti are for actual sauces.

This should be illegal.

I think the intention was to legalize plagiarism under the guise of helping humanity. Only if corporations do it of course.

Wouldn’t you have about the same reaction time as if the truck was braking tho? I mean, the momentum will carry the log in the direction the truck was going until it dissipates, which is kinda the same as braking.

I mean, that situation would obviously be dangerous because you don’t wanna stop on a freeway for obvious reasons, but still, if you adhered to common safety rules, you should be okay in that situation, no?

I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.
