As someone who grew up with the Simpsons and also pretty recently watched the first 29 seasons again, the first 9 seasons we definitely the best seasons. They’re timeless. The show became too afraid to be offensive.

My last cat had one of those. Can confirm. She loved it.

Besides, those lil trackers were badass and ones in good condition are still sought after. The one in the picture would probably sell for about $7,000 in that condition.

So you’re saying you only speak one language, but you just don’t believe something like French would have any weird or complicated or confusing shit? You don’t sound like you’re in the position to even make an opinion. We need to hear from a Chinese person who’s learned English and French.

He kind of wrote it out with edgelord vibes baked right in.

But I guess never in the US? I’ve never saw it happen.

I’m in the US. Not once have I seen or even heard of this happening before.

I’m guessing it’s something only being done to the EU when trying to look at Amazon from other countries, or just when looking at other Amazon’s outside your own country.

So many idiots have been doing this: Ballistics not being able to confirm the bullet was fired from that specific rifle in no way proves that it wasn’t fired from that specific rifle.

Matching busted up bullets using scratch marks is like 90% TV crime show bs. They didn’t say the bullet wasn’t fired from the rifle. They just said they couldn’t prove it was fired from that rifle. Massive difference.

It’s fire and someone threw it with their arm.

That’s a negative on pretty much all you’ve said. Companies will keep growing. More people at the companies will max out at how much you can earn. No one will want to give all extra money to just paying taxes. Instead they’ll take that extra money and it will get dumped back into the company. More buildings, expansion, more employees, higher pay and benefits, r&d, etc. they’ll spend the extra money. You’re talking as if someone who was making $5,000,000 a year would just be like “meh. Not worth doing this”

This was actually fairly close to how things where in the 1950’s when the US had everything going it’s way (if you were white, anyhow). Tax rates on the wealthy where over 90% at one point for over $250,000. Back when you could work at a grocery store and own a home and a car and not worry about drowning in medical debt.

So you want a giant ass jet that can carry millions of pounds to carry a giant ass ram jet, scram jet, and rocket ship with boosters and rocket fuel?

Also, the thrust required from that jet is completely impossible. Let alone how wildly inificient all that would be. Every step of the way. Like, this is truly a God awful horrible idea. Like, the worst. Also, it’s not good.

So “Magic Knight Rayearth”?

My hot take: Greedy rich companies and millionaires and billionaires will always try to take as much as possible from the consumer. Raising the minimum wage effects people that were making the minimum wage, and is less and less beneficial to those that were making more than minimum wage. If minimum wage jumped up by $5 to go from $7.25 to $12.25, anyone who was already making $12.25 isn’t likely to get a raise to $17.25.

But because all these people are making more, the wealthy will up pricing of food and housing and utilities in order to keep making even more. This means inflation also rises faster. So while it helps things in the short term, it does nothing to help people in the long term, and it also hurts people closer to or already retired because the inflation will make their fixed incomes worth less.

So raising the minimum wage alone is a shit idea that only puts a short term bandage on things and the rising inflation means you’ll constantly be “behind the eight-ball” and playing catch-up to keep trying to raise it as inflation keeps rising because the rich keep getting richer.

The real fix needs to be lowering the top. Not raising the bottom. Tax the shit out of the wealthy with higher taxes as money made grows. Close the tax loopholes that let them hoard wealth. Make it so that so much of their money beyond like $5,000,000 in cash or assets increasing in value a year would be pointless to try and make because it would all just go to taxes. This will cut the legs out from under the wealthy and stop the needless ripping off of everyone else. If they can’t hoard money and increase their monetary value infinitely then the money will start going to the places it should. The inflation would stop, and upping the minimum wage could actually keep things livable.

They’re efficient for what they are but think of it more like a gas pickup truck getting 30 mpg would be considered very efficient. But that would be terrible for a compact car.

Also, scram jets only get efficient once they’re going fast enough.

But Beakman wanted to educate AND entertain. Plus, everyone should love Eliza Schneider.

I’ve never really cared for NDT. Every time I’ve heard him talk or be interviewed it sounds like he thinks he’s the most important guy ever.

I mean, that’s kinda still just adding on weight and another “stage” to the rocket. A scram jet hauling a rocket ship will use tons of fuel.

Build a large enough magnetic rail launcher and you could save shit tons of fuel. Get a ship doing 2000 mph before it leaves the ground and needs its rockets and you’ll have a pretty good head start.

You’re right I was thinking for some reason AGM batteries weren’t lead acid batteries, but they are.
