These are actually better regulated and inspected than your friend seems to be implying. Pretty sure they have to test at least once a year in most states (see all of the damn license stickers at the pump). They have to be within a certain tolerance to pass muster - otherwise they would be stealing from you - which is…
HuhWhat?

Yep. My 13.5G tank is definitely not 13.5G, and I am not going to run my car out of gas to find out how big that tank is.
Thats good bc plenty of those VWs are in colder climates - and regular water is good way to totally obscure your vision with a thin sheet of ice in bad weather. Hell the blue stuff freezes plenty here when its ~20F - and it is supposed to freeze closer to (-)20F (though I am sure wind, speed etc. plays a factor).
Even the blue stuff? I wouldnt think there would be particles or oil in the orange (which i am guessing has something to remove bugs?) - but there def shouldnt be in others since its basically just water + alcohol and maybe some pg.
Considering life is not warfare - this seems more than a bit foolish. The application of that wisdom was purposefully narrow.
Except this isnt really politics per se - it’s kabuki theater and punditry pretending to be serious, and it appears to have fooled a large segment of the populace.
Please extol the merits of the Laffer curve with robust data and analysis - since it is the basis of a lot of conservative fiscal policy and ideology - and then we can talk about how great your ideas are.
Yep... I didnt realize that my parents had fallen so far until I asked them about the torrent of bs coming from the WH adminstration only to be met with “but what about all of the illegal cash we have to Iran?” I knew what she was talking about and sent over a well-sourced TIME article that explained exactly what the…
Good/bad are relative terms so that weird sliding scale only applying to one side makes no sense in my mind - as these terms are literally defined by one another. GRRM also isnt speaking to how power corrupts everyone (though that is a theme), he is merely pointing out that the concept of “being good” is a lot more…
Pretty sure it is (though I have so much info about the series/books that it is running together in my mind). They definitely covered off the prophecy early in one of the seasons, not sure about the terms used.
This makes no sense... You cannot have bad without good, and plenty of GRRM’s characters are upstanding - or at least do their best to be. The books are a lot more about how complex morality is - and how difficult it is to rule, even for “good people” which is clearly spelled out in his criticism of Tolkein:
Most of the prophecies have a way of working themselves out - and I have to think that Cersei is going to be killed by Jamie 100%. Maybe he switches sides as a captive under Dany, but anyone else killing Cersei seems incredibly unlikely. There may be the smallest of chances though since Euron is a younger brother…
As someone who has known a lot of pilots - fixed wing and rotary - I’d have to say they arent as selective as you would think, but I am sure this jackmo still wouldnt pass muster.
This makes no sense... The guy that got fired - was actually kinda fired for whining to HR, and then putting it on blast for the entire organization to see.
Yep in CO - it is subjective. They dont have a position on pizza boxes to my knowledge - but “clean of food and grease” for cardboard or something like that... Would have to check the bin.
I always assumed that they couldnt be recycled because of the oil/grease that inevitably penetrates the cardboard. I would imagine that’s why they dont take them (since its the same material as the other corrugated cardboard they do accept)
Wider tires with lower PSI could prob handle it fine...?
My point is that you can always choose to watch NONE of them - instead of creating this false choice.
That and the fact that they are applied much more aggressively than is typical (as per the article above).
