They probably won’t get rid of elections… they’ll just have sham elections like Russia has to give the impression of “legitimacy” but I guarantee they’ll be heavily rigged in their favor.

Depends on your definition of bad choice… for normal people yes, for the russians that are taking over the states without firing a shot, no.

When I first heard it my brain convinced me that the lyrics were “Snap my Picture” for some reason.

Then I saw the video.

I’d love to see something similar to reddit enhancement suite.

Pouring gas over everything and lighting it by tossing a lit cigarette into the puddle. It does not work that way.

To be fair a lot of wells didn’t/don’t have good water either but we were not very good at testing or noticing that kind of thing until people started dropping.

You’re correct, but I just want to point out that it isn’t advisable to drink or cook with water that comes from your hot water tank. Hot water can (and usually will) corrode metal parts from your tank and plumbing and can be contaminated by all sorts of nasty stuff that won’t go away even if you boil the water first.

If you look it up on youtube, you can see for yourself the insane amount of crap that builds up inside a hot water tank over time. https://youtu.be/kAzKts6Wp1Q?si=UMPzHcIoSRdSgJ4g&t=88

I remember the summer that happened. I was a kid that lived 1100 miles away in Canada and can still recall the haze and smell we had that summer.

Volcanoes are scary as hell.

In my case it’s because the last several owners of this house were idiots that cheaped out on everything and thought they knew better than the professionals do… my plumbing is a wonderful variety of crap soldered to different crap that I think was partially salvaged from the Titanic or something.

And since I’m renting, I have no ambition to rip anything out and fix it properly unless it breaks.

That’s my kitchen sink. Takes forever to get hot water but the bathroom (Which is further from the tank) takes half the time.

The joys of an old house.

My guess is it’s similar to the electric motors they put in cars vs industrial motors… they can both put out X amount of power but the industrial ones (or in this case the laptop power) can do it continuously without overheating while the other can only output “up to” that power rating for a short time without burning up.

In this case though, the laptop power probably also outputs a higher voltage as well.

And seeing they’re stretched and deformed shows they get a lot of use.

Is that the legendary pee tape?

Oh 100% for sure they do. It would be silly to not take advantage of real world testing if they had the chance.

He is the master debater.

That’s weird, still works for me.

It’s still there, just further down the page.

Earlier we reported on the deaths of five health workers in an Israeli strike in Derdghaiya, southern Lebanon last night.

The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike.

We’ve spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George’sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were “a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others”.

Father Maurice adds that parishioners and villagers tell him there was no military presence on church grounds, and no gunmen in the vicinity. He says he doesn’t know how the health workers “would have a target on their backs?"

Father Maurice, who left the village on 22 September right before the Israeli escalation, says the health workers killed were looking after the 200-400 displaced people seeking shelter there.

“The church’s two halls were filled with IDPs [international displaced persons]. The Civil Defense used to come with food, water and aid. They were the only one supplying aid to the IDPs,” Father Maurice tells us.

He says one of those who was killed was “the pinnacle of generosity” while another “was a member of my parish. He was my right-hand man. He strived to provide a dignified life for his wife and three daughters. What wrong did they do?”

Israel says it only attacks military targets and the town was in an area which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had warned people to leave.

The BBC has approached the IDF for comment.

You can do that with the 9 volt batteries and feel how much “tingle” they have, but never heard of it working with aa batteries. Wouldn’t he have to stick the whole thing in his mouth to complete the circuit?
