Life is actuqlly kind of underwhelming and I dont see it getting better
  • But where is the excitement?

    Don't know your age but I think this is what mid life crisis is: people chasing excitement.

    When you're young and experiencing everything for the first time it's exciting. Then it becomes routine and normal. The problem is when people keep chasing that excitement high forever. I think the solution to that is that you have to take joy in the little things in life.

  • Asking the real questions
  • Yes I'm aware it's not an a with decoration jfc. I'm saying for computer entries that garble things, I wouldn't care about matching it up so perfectly (with dropped whatever those things are called) as to not allow someone to board a plane.

  • This is what an empty hornet's nest looks like inside

    Is Andrew Yang involved at all in Harris's campaign?

    I think he'd be great in the cabinet, although I know in the past he said he's not interested in that (president or bust).

    *Can someone explain the downvotes?

    Slow draining sink? The stopper is probably clogged.

    All those drain cleaners didn't work. Pulling the stopper out and cleaning the gunk off a paper towel worked.

    I recommend nitrile gloves. Don't run the tap when you have the lever screw open, water will leak out of there. You can use an old toothbrush to reach down the drain pipe and pull up more gunk. After, I filled the sink up with hot water then drained in one go. Don't know if it sanitizes exactly but I think it helps, cut down on the smell anyway.

    The KAI T-50 and the Boeing/Saab T-7 both use the same jet engine GE-404. How does the T-50 accomplish faster speed, more payload, all while being twice as heavy?

    Yes I'm aware the KAI engine is a slight variation, but afaik it's very slight.

    If the Federal Government wanted to make a new planned city, would they be able to use Eminent Domain?

    Not sure if that would count as "for ends of public utility". Anyone experienced in this field? This would take a city size amount of farmland for the downtown and most of the city (I think any small towns caught up in the boundaries would be incorporated into it).

    This would be kicked off with federal offices, but not necessarily political capitol. There are a ton of federal jobs that really don't need to be located in a high cost of living area.

    >The term "eminent domain" was taken from the legal treatise De jure belli ac pacis (On the Law of War and Peace), written by the Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius in 1625,[5] which used the term dominium eminens (Latin for "supreme ownership") and described the power as follows:

    >>The property of subjects is under the eminent domain of the state, so that the state or those who act for it may use and even alienate and destroy such property, not only in the case of extreme necessity, in which even private persons have a right over the property of others, but for ends of public utility, to which ends those who founded civil society must be supposed to have intended that private ends should give way. But, when this is done, the state is bound to make good the loss to those who lose their property.

    TIL Obama from ages 6 to 10 lived in Indonesia and can speak Indonesian.

    >At the age of six, Obama and his mother had moved to Indonesia to join his stepfather. From age six to ten, he was registered in school as "Barry"[31] and attended local Indonesian-language schools: Sekolah Dasar Katolik Santo Fransiskus Asisi (St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Elementary School) for two years and Sekolah Dasar Negeri Menteng 01 (State Elementary School Menteng 01) for one and a half years, supplemented by English-language Calvert School homeschooling by his mother.[32][33] As a result of his four years in Jakarta, he was able to speak Indonesian fluently as a child.[34] During his time in Indonesia, Obama's stepfather taught him to be resilient and gave him "a pretty hardheaded assessment of how the world works".[35]

    >In 1971, Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham. He attended Punahou School—a private college preparatory school—with the aid of a scholarship from fifth grade until he graduated from high school in 1979.
