I’m a gray over here so I doubt my comment will carry much weight, but my brother does R&D for Daimler at the Stuttgart plant. While I’m not privy to the details, he’s been talking about their internal plans for an all electric fleet of cars for years. So long as the big names get on board and embrace all electric…

No.
Unless I’m mistaken, dragons in this fictional world fly.... quite high at times. So while I understand the idea of shooting dragons with scorpions/ballista, couldn’t the dragons just fly over them? I mean, I know that’s crazy talk but hear me out. These ballista likely have a specific amount of vertical tilt and…
I couldn’t and wouldn’t begin to presume to give an answer to that. That’s quite out of expiration. I’d ask a trained professional.
Generally speaking I’m fine with this. If a retailer’s complaint is that they’re more interested in the lost revenue over the health of the nation’s youth, fuck’em.
My first cigarette was in kindergarten. Some older kids were smoking in some bushes on the side of my apartment building while looking at a playboy.…
My first cigarette was in kindergarten. Some older kids were smoking in some bushes on the side of my apartment building while looking at a playboy. (Wow that sounds so fucking movie of the week) Anyhow, they offered me a drag, I tried it, coughed and decided I didn’t see the appeal. My father was a 3 pack a day…
Sadly, for the Trump election it was largely Democratic voter apathy. They assumed precisely what you said, that there’s no way an idiot like Trump could win. That, paired with the idea of Texas always being red makes people think their vote doesn’t matter.
This is why our Hispanic and Black communities are so…
Yea, peak heat index here today was 105 with the humidity topping out at 85%.
I try to go on walks everyday as some quiet contemplative time. Usually only like 1.5-2 miles around campus, but it gets damn miserable this time of the year.
To each their own, they’re both pretty damn skunky :D
The image if Melania clutching herself while trying to stay poised in her ridiculous high heels at an out door bbq is fucking priceless. I could only hope that it’d be so hot out one of them would faint. Either from the heat itself or from locking their knees while pearl clutching.
Swap to Lone Star, it’s cheaper and better. This reminds me that I need to rub some mink oil on my boots, winter really dried them out and they’re getting ashy.
I worked for a short period of time in South Korea earlier in my life for an internet company; I’ll be returning next year to teach, and if you’re uncomfortable with having your picture taken you’d flip out over some of my experiences :D
I’ve literally had people come up and rub my arms due to my dark and present arm…
I’m Roma and I have a picture of myself, my mother and I, and then my mother, brother and I at the Roma memorial in Berlin when it finally opened in 2012. With the fact that 90% of our ethnic population were exterminated, we felt that it was a nice symbolic way to show to others that there are in fact some of us that…
There’s actually an artist in Berlin, Germany who lives near the block holocaust memorial who’s taking time to hunt down people’s disrespectful selfies/pictures and turn them into true abominations to shame them.

Yea, one of my shit jobs while doing uni. was tech management for Verizon Business in the early 2000s. Not only are you dealing with egos, you’re dealing with the fragile egos of megalomaniac man-children nerds who spend more time demanding respect than earning it. It was a weekly if not daily occurrance for someone…
Was going to reply with the same thing. I’m 5'8-5'9 and I’ve never really cared about my height. I’ve done fine dating, I played sports without an issue, the only problem I tend to have is finding off the shelf clothing that fits. I’m a 34w/29L for slacks/jeans, which is tough. Torso/wingspan are far longer than…
You know, over the years that I’ve been commenting on Gawker media sites I’ve noticed there’s a shit ton of hate for Texas, even though there are a lot of active users from Texas. It’s a damn shame that our state government’s infamy runs before us, and of course people’s generalized uninformed prejudice.
You know, outside of work I really don’t experience it. But I have no doubt that you are correct that it those two things can be interchangeable. I’ve had two career fields in my life, lots of shit jobs early on but only two careers. The first was in medicine where pretty much everyone I worked with kept a pretty high…
Also a Texan, DFW, I’ve never witnessed this.
