This is your public profile. Write something about yourself! No.

A keg pump for serious liquids. (They pressurize the drum slightly and have a dip tube to let liquid flow out when you open the tap). They work great, but have some small design flaws that make them a little fragile.

Their point is that office space is generally much cheaper than a factory, not that it's free.

If they were willing to move to Florida, they wouldn't be spending so much money fighting it. Even NYC millionaires would rather pay NY's higher income taxes than live in New *Jersey*.

To be clear, I have no idea who this "Harry Kissinger" that the original comment was asking about is, but *Henry* Kissingdr was a real bastard.

Nope, that's the weather's fault. At least according to American regulations.

You're right. Nothing is infallible, which is why Doctors get sued when they screw up and harm someone. So you agree that AI companies should get sued when they screw up and harm someone. Great! Glad we're on the same page.

Insurance covers negligence. In fact, that's *most* of what it covers, especially car insurance. Figuring out who was negligent is how you figure out whose insurance company is footing the bill. The only state that's "no-fault" for property damage is Michigan; every other "no-fault" state is so for bodily injury only (the purpose is to make it easier to get medical attention quickly).

1. The original contract was for gas because the appropriated funds weren't sufficient to get EVs and charging infrastructure, but that got amended to be around 25/75 gas/EV thanks to Biden's inflation reduction act. 2. The headline mpg that got reported is based on the Post Office's mileage test, which is not comparable to EPA gas mileage. The new truck gets 14.7mpg (8.6mpg with AC) which compares well to the 8.6mpg LLV or 6.9mpg FFV.

Right, which is why it took so long to raise the Virginia minimum wage after the last increase, which was in *checks notes* Jan 2026... oh.

#3 Wouldn't it be Sputnik and Explorer or Vanguard? The Soviet lunar program was Lunokhod ("Moonwalker")

No, the first thing a *Stadium* needs is pedestrian infrastructure to connect it to immediately adjacent lodgings. It is absurd for infrastructure to require a taxi for someone to safely get from a venue to the hotel across the street.

Not quite; that first one should be "Company's owners," not "Company." PE acquisitions are giving the owners of the company the bazillion dollars. What happens to the company later doesn't matter too much to the now-extra-rich former owners, which explains why they're ok making the deal.

It's still a standard part of Ski Jumpers' training routine as the pharmaceutical methods are banned as doping.

How do you "unexpectedly" buy a house? They reneged on a deal and then made an excuse when they started getting heat for it. Pay your debts before buying shit for yourself.

They're also fucking heavy. No matter how well balanced that is, you're still moving hundreds of pounds every time you open the door. By 6 months in, they'll just use the normal door from the garage.

Worth noting that the guy being shot in this photo was a VietCong assassin and spy who may have had recently assassinated the family of another ARVN officer. Quite a bit different from shooting an innocent woman in the face 4 times because she had the gall not to be scared of you.

Vaping is basically huffing warm-to-hot solvent plus whatever active ingredient (nicotine is, itself, poisonous). Huffing solvent is bad for you. Whether vaping is better or worse than cigarettes may be up in the air, but it's certainly worse than just eating an edible.

That makes sense. That sounds like an awesome experience

In the cat-accessible bathroom, the toilet paper goes in the vanity. Doesn't matter which way the roll is stored, my cats will just eat it.

Technically not a ship since it's unpowered. It's a scientific platform that would be towed out to sea, flip vertical to provide an extremely steady platform for all the sciencing, then flip back to be towed back to port. Fortunately, it was saved from the scrapyard in 2024 by a group that plans to overhaul it.
