Couple questions about the woodwork, if anybody know—> did all those lap joints in the frame used to be mortise and tenon, back before reliable waterproof glues, and have Morgans ever experimented with more rot-resistant woods, like larch or douglas fir? Douglas fir in particular should be close to ash in strength,…

Or you could drill into one side of the spindle nut, cut away as much meat as you can with the drill bit, then put the end of a cold chisel in the notch created and whack the nut in the direction it unscrews. Either the nut moves or it splits.

Well, we trade with China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.. This all makes the Cuba embargo look pretty childish.

Hmm. So are you complaining about Korean and Japanese unions, or is this just a random opportunity to bitch about unionization?

I really hope she didn’t pay too much for the ‘do in the top photo.

Is that young Barbara Streissand peering over Kanye’s right shoulder?

This is why there is a dismiss button. . .

Potentially. It is a gas turbine after all.

Stassa, pretty sure that these are actually frozen blastocysts, not embryos. The forced-pregnancy crowd likes to refer to early stages of development as embryos, but there's no reason to adapt their preferred misuse of language.

TL;DR: Russia runs aircraft and occasionally ships off the US coast and we don’t do stupid shit like this. Not to mention, China’s territory grab in international waters is in no way comparable to a US destroyer conducting a…

And how close to Poland, genius? Whose helicopters were practicing operations with the destroyer. In international waters.

I think we need to review the definition of the word ‘benefit.’

I couldn’t tell you if the clothing was right in that shot, but that boat had to be modern—the planks are a little too wide, the paint a little too glossy, and the plank laps don’t look like they’re rabbetted smooth at the transom. Plus not sure if a lapstrake boat would be fly enough for an 18th century gentle woman.…

It’s kind of like a water mill, except that instead of being driven by water over a wheel, it’s driven by aborted fetuses and fluids over a wheel. In more liberal countries they’re used to grind grain into flour.

That would interfere with sensitivity a bit.

Or sharing?

Jesus fuck. That's what the next republican debate needs to be like.

Thanks! Was that actually a mouth-to-mouth shot?
