NSFW is not safe for work in text.

>So we pointed to the rake and he thought we were joking.

Yeah, there are probably communication issues between different cultures.

Him; "I no speak primitive analog device."

You; "Just grab it with both of those hands you use on a joystick and move your arms. Nature will take over."

Oh no. Now modern developers want to submit an application to do this today. LUXURY Apts coming soon. And let's paint it green.

Can confirm, i worked in power plants and they said that condensation clouds could form meters away from an actual leak which would just peel your skin off. They called it the Blind man walking stick method of finding leaks.

No need to get your knickers in a twist. We are just having a discussion here.

No, it wouldn't be. Because this was before the Confederacy was formed. This was just during the time that the southern states were pissed off and TALKING about seceding. And some people felt.... "Well, just go ahead and good riddance."

We are not having any kind of discussion about the Confederacy or slavery or any of that. Yes slavery is abhorrent but there were many people who supported it. Mainly because they didn't know any better.
It was lucrative for many people, not just the southern slave owners but the New England boat captains who brought the slaves from Africa or from the Caribbean. And you have to remember that at that time in history, people did consider Africans to be sub-human and felt that teaching them about Christianity would be good for them. Yes, it was fucked up thinking - but - you cannot look at something that happened in 1860 through today's lens.

I do. Land grants pride themselves on science based research.

So the animal world is mostly just bats, beetles, and ants, then? Wonderful.

Unless you received your degree from a religion based university, it's safe to say you can still trust your education over a Wikipedia page....

Text isn't NSFW

This sounds lovely.

Or can see positives in the review of it versus fully condemning it. Again it is not perfect, but gives a different perspective than traditional American history is taught.

And you're right, a Civil War/Revolution can be morally justifiable given the circumstance. The Hatian or America revolution are examples as those that were justifiable

We all do.

LEGO Movie!

I was a contractor doing some controls work on an HVAC system that was onsite in a military base. They used a (relatively) high pressure steam system for the heating loop. The subject came up, and the guy I was with learned it as a machinist in a destroyer, from another old navyman, who might've actually been around long enough ago that it was an important skill to know!

Hi.

Bob Uecker was born on an oleo run he jokes in his Broadcasting HoF speech.

My first trip to Rome I stayed at an Airbnb a bit away from the main attractions. Being a tourist in that part of town was a bit of a novelty - the locals were genuinely (mildly) surprised. It was nice to be away from the bustle of those main areas too.

That’s the case with basically anything these days too. I work in engineering and watching my company’s promotional and marketing department do their thing, you would think we are all upstanding professionals with a perfectly clean mouth.

That’s what gets recorded and remembered, not my co-worker and I going on about how another department fucked us.

This fight, the Second Battle of Adobe Walls, was considered such a heart-breaking defeat that the Comanche never recovered and didn't put up the same amount of resistance afterward. They'd had such strong faith that they would win and then realized they were completely outmatched.

I guessed squeamish people might find it off-putting. I removed the NSFW tag anyway because you're right, there really isn't anything explicit about the post.

Interesting. I took a lot of animal science in uni and they always taught us both were infertile.

Where I would I work where this would be NSFW?

According to the article the male isn't affected very much, though he may be slightly less fertile due to a decrease in testicle size.

Typically both are infertile.

Anyone who supports the 1619 Project is either ignorant or racist. There's just no other way to approve of that complete shambles. "Not perfect" is making a mistake or misinterpretation. "Absolute travesty of journalism" is ignoring pre-publication corrections of fact from historians and even your own publication's fact checker, and then accusing all detractors of racism.

I'm not gonna argue about why the Confederate states seceded; they made pretty clear in their own words that it was mostly (though not exclusively) over slavery and white supremacy. It's just interesting that whether treason is bad depends on which party you find objectionable.
