Remember, she's literally the best at the world at jumping up and down on ice skates.

Turns out that DHS agents have a habit of putting themselves in front of vehicles in order to justify deadly force

JD's mom cooks the driest, most shitty turkey you've ever eaten. People don't just go cook an 18lb turkey randomly because that's too much food. Also, you can get really good smoked turkey at plenty of BBQ restaurants

No, but it could be an option for a manufacturing process or machine that may be more prone to accidents.

I suppose that depends on how loud you're willing to go and whether or not they can do a directed sound thingy, like the crowd dispersion sound weapons that police sometimes use when they're out of ammo

I mean, that only works in an ideal world, or in a very special real one. The average margin for grocery store items is about 3%.

The only thing that makes me think this is real speed is the way the grass is blowing in the foreground. For the level of wind they seem to be experiencing that grass seems right. It's a little tornado so the stuff moving quickly around the funnel is probably accurate. Everything looks so much different in the shot with a big wedge.

Balloon gas. It has been mixed with oxygen and possibly nitrogen to make it safer when I inevitably grab one and start sucking it down to make kids laugh. Looks like it might only be between 60 and 80 percent helium.

Go write this exact same thing on a post when a woman talks about being in an abusive relationship, I dare you.

Nah, you'd just need to have a back board that was designed to lift a person from a single point. Four ropes that connect to a single point, similar to what a Coast Guard heli uses. They do similar lifts all the time.

For more context, that's almost twice the distance from Earth to the Sun. (1 AU is defined as the average distance from Earth to the Sun) When 3I/ATLAS dips within the orbit of Mars, Earth will be almost as far as it can be, on the other side of the sun. It appears that the closest approach will be after that. Wikipedia actually has a neat graphic on the page from Catalina Sky Survey.

It's how they step on the sensitive part of your lap or chest twice in a row, every time!

Yep. An ex girlfriend started her dryer with the cat in it, but luckily someone caught it within a few minutes. I always do a head count with my two before I run anything in the laundry.

Is this the gay agenda that republicans hate so much?

Roommate was in school for nuclear engineering, and doing really, really well at it. Straight A student, barely studied. Put bowls and cups in the dishwasher so they held water. Bitched that it didn't work well.

Devil's advocate time. Pickup was matching the speed of other traffic, judging by him keeping pace with the orange semi. POV semi also didn't dip his nose or appear to slow down from the GPS speedo, despite him having a clear view of the pickup and the lack of a place for him to go. He probably violated the 'last clear chance' doctrine, which means that he may end up being partially liable for the wreck.

Doesn't matter what the "road looked like behind him". Maintaining a safe following distance is the responsibility of the drivers behind him. There's also the "last clear chance" doctrine, which says that if you have the right away and are not at fault, but clearly cause an accident anyway, you can be held partially liable. Pickup guy can argue that the semi, who didn't slow down when he saw that pickup was going to be forced to merge, was at least partially at fault.

Tell that to the used car market in a year

There's no reason to not pay off high interest debt. Typical credit card rates are in the 26% and up range. No investment is going to beat that.

Look at how overly sharp the eyes are, especially compared to the background. The fur also moves weird, like the whole kitten is moving independent of the background.

Biggest giveaway though is that nobody is bleeding or getting gnawed on.

Banana Ball, featuring the Savannah Bananas and the Party Animals. You can pay way too much for tickets or just watch them online. They sell tickets for $30 or something, but the tickets are all sold on a lottery system. The secondary market price is usually 5 to 10 times the face value.

County by county results aren't really changed by gerrymandering unless your state is regularly redrawing county lines. Also, the irony of you explaining what it really isn't while getting the name of Elbridge Gerry wrong is pretty neat.

I'm not really sure what they're equipped with at the ER then. A regular hacksaw blade will cut titanium without much issue. Power tools have a harder time than simple hands tools.

It does matter though. If we can do less damage now, we have a bit more leeway in the coming years for other nations to catch up. We can slow it down by doing something now.

I'm guessing a few roughnecks will survive. Let them drill
