This works well but it's hard to see if someone's done it right. when sailing I coil in a figure-of-eight, either by hand or with one end around a winch.

That’s what I thought. Nothing substantive to say.

“Drag is disgusting, child abusing grooming unless it’s a Republican in the makeup and pantyhose, then drag is just fun theater for the whole family.”
Or “Drag is disgusting child abusing grooming unless it’s only twice on tv, then it’s just for fun.”

Those positions hardly make you sound serious or adult.
You have offered no actual defense at all.
Just kindergarten “yor a dummy” type responses. 😂

I'm having a hard time imagining the case where wearing a seat belt is going to make you have better control of your car after a collision.

Your moral case, for wearing a seatbelt, while personally compelling, doesn't mean the government should be controlling that activity for individuals. Being selfish is usually not a crime.

There is shared risk if you look deep enough in all activities that people engage in throughout their lives. Newtboy's assertion that these types of activities should be regulated because of their knock-on effects doesn't seem practical in a "free" society.

The reason I don't understand why this is a law is because the affects to society are so low and are similar to many other unregulated choices people are allowed to make. The inconsistency is painful.

I don't remember the model my brothers & I had anymore, as it was like over 3 decades ago, but they were analog Tamiyas. In addition to being analog sticks, there were sliders that I can fine tune acceleration limits on every axis (can control helicopters too). And that was then. Can't imagine entering these competition without these type of advanced controls with if you have a in-it-to-win-it mentality.

How do you never tire of being so idiotically wrong constantly? It’s actually impressive you can continue when literally everything you claim falls apart, often before you can even type it.

Russian front lines in Bakhmut have collapsed.
Russian flanks have retreated.
Russian armor is in retreating out of Bakhmut.
Ukraine is hitting Russian command centers in far East Ukraine with new longer range next gen missiles…they have hundreds of them now in country. These can reach Crimea and Russia proper, maybe even Moscow.
In one day recently two Mi-8 helicopters, one Su-34 and one Su-35 have been confirmed to have been downed near Klintsy, Bryansk, Russia. That’s 4 high value aircraft all covered by multiple levels of electronic missile jamming technology deep inside Russia shot down, indicating clearly Russian air defense cannot protect against the class of weapons just delivered to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian counter offensive hasn’t even begun and Russia is already on the run. I fully support Ukraine taking 100 miles into Russia as a buffer zone, exactly like Russia wanted to use Ukraine. I think it’s a good possibility and I fully support arming and funding Ukrainian expansion as far as they want to go. I’m not alone. Russia may be ending….at best it’s retreating to third world status as an international pariah with few allies and a looming civil war.

One more prognostication made by you quickly turned to shit.
Russia won’t stop….losing.
You know exactly how that feels.

BTW- #walkaway is real this time, but people are walking away from the toxic party of death debauchery dishonesty and destruction...the party of insanity inconsistency immorality and inability…the MAGA right. 😂

I had honestly thought his first performance of that song on TV wasn't until 1978, where he did my favourite. Maybe the above doesn't count as it was a stage show that happened to be filmed.



Apparently he was good friends with Jim Henson, which only makes it sweeter.

- handicapped rear view hanging fuzz-dice-type-o-things are transportable to folks using their autos to transport handicapped people.

- the light thing is somewhat negligible. in this neck-of-woods, lots of folks barely leave enough lights on to even note they're home.

- the 'mouth & heart' benefit is universal if one pays attention.

- they do have their own network...as in...those so blind they refuse to see (Rupe pluckin' those pigeons).

- sure you'd miss out on MTG but Chaplin films as well (gawd i love slapstick): just the opening > https://youtu.be/Sj4Lb7yD_fY

Video ads are not limited to traditional TV anymore. Ads on YouTube often runs more than 2 minutes. Skippable though.

This one is going for the feels. Whether you like it strictly depends on how cynical a person you are.

My father passed away this February. So this year's Father Day is going to be a little tough, as these type of ads will shows up right after Mother's Day.

Not an expert, but it could be a domino effect of a loose screw scenario, causing all the screws to be snapped off. Here in Toronto (Canada), we've seen significance increases of fatal accidents of these type because of (mostly truck's) poor maintenance causing wheels flying off & killed people. It's the driver's (or trucking companies') fault. The interviewed Police usually warn viewers that because we here often need (and should!) change between summer/winter tires, we need to make sure the tires are balanced and the screws are properly tightened. The garages usually wash their hands off from accident liabilities and insurance companies rarely go after the garages as well.
