See, all these fuckers want to bring religion back and mix it with government because they think it’s their flavor that’ll win.

Never do they think they’d be the ones suffering things like the Act of Uniformity 1558 or the Act of Supremacy 1558. Which is kind of the reason this nation wanted out of that business.

They’re fooling themselves that all the various forms of Christianity will keep playing nicely with each other forever. They’re only playing nicely because of their enemy of the enemy thinking with secularism. Second that’s gone they’ll be at each other’s throat as history has consistently shown.

This is why boats are moored to the land/dock. Motion onto a boat imparts motion into the boat. Walking onto (going from land onto a floating vessel) a boat makes the boat move in the same direction the person walking onto it is moving. For a person, the smallness imparts a very little amount of motion. For a massive truck carrying a load, it will impart motion that can actually launch the vessel.

There has to be a counter force to pull the boat back to land anytime something moves onto the boat. That's what mooring the boat does. The motion being imparted into the boat is then placed onto the lines holding the boat to land. If the motion is strong enough to break the lines, the boat will come free but if not, then the motion is imparted into the mooring posts. Depending on their construction, they'll either give way or disperse the motion into the ground.

If you've ever canoed, the boat is super small, so the sheer act of just getting into the canoe starts making it move in the direction you entered the canoe. Which is one of the reasons folks usually get everything into the canoe on land and then have someone launch the canoe from land.

Having spent about 30 years in programming, I've since changed over to this.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they were fucking.

Ew. That’s in my head now! EWWW!

Where’s the demand for Hamas to end the conflict and to release the hostages?

Israel hasn’t shown any good faith. I think given the situation, if Hamas completely capitulated it would just hasten their complete extermination.

I honestly cannot say that Israeli would show restraint in a surrender, they’ve displayed none and their rhetoric hasn’t indicated any.

If Hamas was to surrender, I don’t think it would lead to peace because Israel does not look like peace is what they want. I think it would lead to millions being murdered because it seems that is what Israel wants.

I don’t disagree with a need for deescalating the situation and some olive branches being brought out, but Israeli leadership themselves are saying things like the goal is to completely destroy Hamas and Palestinian. That’s genocide talk and Israel hasn’t given us any reason to doubt their ambitions.

I get what you’re saying, but Israel is taking and acting like the bully in a school fight that doesn’t know when the fight’s over. In three months, one percent of the entire population of Gaza has been killed. When a battle starts hitting significant measurable percentage of the civilian population, a wise nation would pause the hostilities and reassess. Israel has done quite the opposite and tripled down on their incursion.

There’s no indication that Hamas doing anything to reduce the situation would actually lead to an outcome that would actually reduce the situation. And there’s every indication that doing so would actually speed up their and their civilian population’s demise.

Death two’s compliment.

MSM: We’re going to be angry at everyone.

MSM:

For the folks getting the thumbnail from MILFtrip.com because of "awesome kbin image caching bug". NO, that is not how the DoE is poised. That position is not of modest efficiency. And I highly doubt that would save consumers money on energy bills.

There are zero ways that anything with a MILF is "less energy-intensive".

Mrs. Haley's formal political career began in 2004. It has taken her twenty fucking years to figure the obvious out.

I guess later is better than never?? Like Republicans, if Reince Priebus didn't already clue you into the game, I don't know what else could have convinced you.

We believe constitutionally we are right.

Did… Did anyone tell them the SCOTUS ruling? /s

Remember kids.

A lot of churches will not see this as a sign for self reflection and will instead blame “woke” whatever.

Strange how raping little children, embezzlement, hate speech, subjugation of women and other abuses by various churches might convince people to not associate with a group that perpetuates that.

They literally are doing this to themselves and regularly fail to understand it like a Principal Skinner meme IRL.

I’m highly doubtful that a second Civil War would be like the first. I’m more of the opinion that we’d see something along the lines of the Troubles in Ireland.

Maintaining a fighting force requires a ton of money and the loss of international markets in the Civil War hurt the Confederacy greatly. Inflation in the Confederacy shot through the roof. Paired with the Union’s successful blockade, the Union securing most rivers, and the Union pretty much destroying every bit of infrastructure in the Confederate States, the Confederacy had massive economic woes that plagued morale.

I’m really doubtful that any State wanting to secede wants to lose access to the US dollar as it would wreck their economy. I just don’t see it being the way the Civil War was fought as it would almost guarantee a repeat.

Wars are fought along a lot more lines than just the ones where bullets matter.

That’s just a selfie with extra steps.

The United States is too big and needs to fail

Yeah, I don't think you understand what that statement means. A government failure would absolutely lead to a significant part of the the population dying. And that would be the good outcome for a lot of folks. A whole lot more would starve to death very slowly.

I would like to see it broken up into smaller independent countries

Very, very, very few States have the experience at this moment to operate as an independent nation. Like maybe four or five. The rest would either devolve into complete chaos and with it take a significant part of the population, or be invaded which would very likely have similar outcome.

With less military so that we can stay the fuck out of other people’s business.

Yeah, there's a lot of people like it or not that have an axe to grind. And wouldn't really matter to them if the US fell apart, in fact it would encourage them to settle that chip on their shoulder.

So I'm just going to tell you, your proposal would very likely get yourself killed and everyone you love killed and pretty much everyone commenting on this story killed as well. There would be a lot of dead bodies. Just literally look at any country that began falling apart and you can see that the body count starts increasing at a rapid pace when the Government completely falls apart.

I don't understand why people think that government falling apart or civil war means that a significant part of the country's population doesn't die? There's over 8,000 years of evidence of societies collapsing equaling a shit ton of people dying. If there's people wanting to die that badly, there are better ways that do not involve 10% to 20% of the civilian population.

The sheer speed at which the jury came to this determination is a really good sign that everyone on the jury was like "fuck this dude in particular". Not only that, what I think was hilarious was that Trump's testimony about his valuation in his NY civil trail was submitted and accepted as evidence for the determination on this fine. Like literally some Loony Toons Wile E. Coyote exploding in your face kind of thing.

This was such a massive L for Trump's legal team that I believe the correct lawyer term is HA HA HA HAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA!!

I swear, I'm just waiting for what creative backhoing their graves Trump's team will be doing in the appeals.

What's that saying? "Speech is free. Lies are expensive."

And just so everyone remembers this, Lake Gatún is the primary water source for fresh water in the area.

That little facet plays a non-zero role in any discussion about travel along the canal.

And for those wondering how a canal “uses” water. At some point a lake that was never connected to the ocean, has some small amount of it discharge into the ocean every time a boat moves through the canal.

You can use all kinds of partitions and fancy pumps to reduce the amount of salt water that gets in and fresh water that leaves, but you can never get it to zero. There will always be some salt water getting into the lake and some fresh water making it to the ocean. And that value begins to add up when you have thousands of boats.

Man. When we get one of these to Titan, it's going to be wild. Flying through the methane air there and snapping shots of liquid hydrocarbon lakes.

Why do we even have that bucket‽
