For a really depressing read of the conflict there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_(book) by the commander of U.N. forces there.

And some relevant parts of the underrated https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/905834.War_Junkie

Cambodge is Cambodia right? Lemmy makes up for the poorly painted over paint bubbles. I guess.

ETA: I thought sleven was a Thai thing?

That’s a shitty thing to say…

There are a few photos that were making the rounds on social media of what happens when the toilet rim breaks.

Really deep clean cuts across the back of the thighs.

Do any of them go Ping!

Proof that the snails on my citrus seedlings are shitheads.

Thank you for posting the translation.

I was referring to this part, which it think is great.

_The text of the statement, made in front of the Autonomous Administration building in Raqqa, was read in Arabic and Kurdish. _

I meant no offense at all. Thank you for answering.

Your translation said that the announcement was made in Arabic and Kurdish. I found that very interesting and heartening since the Kurds have been marginalized for so long.

Can I ask you questions?

I can’t remember, I actually only use metric now. I think you need to convert asteroids to hogheads first, if they’re tobacco that’s 1000 lbs per hogshead. Frankly it makes my head hurt.

As an American I have no idea why we don’t use metric.

At least they didn’t use metric.

Indeed, quite interesting. I read the OP article and remembered that initially there was more information, it made me think something had changed behind the scenes.

I thought about posting that, or something like this

Or just by a Russian captain on a Chinese ship. This is an earlier article later ones omit this. A few different sources say the captain is Russian, but none of the ones in the news today mentioned it. The only information given is that the ship itself is Chinese.

with the evidence so far pointing to a Chinese merchant vessel with a Russian captain.

Well now that you have resorted to ad hominem I certainly believe you are correct.

Anyway, I will wait for the accident report and then your apology.

I did something similar a few years ago, but used vermouth (nowhere near as much of course) and added in some Cascara, which is coffee fruit that surrounds the bean. It was quite good.

It didn’t come off the factory floor a month ago.

If I crash my 31 year old Toyota are you to say “well, it was a Toyota”. Or are you going to think driver error, poor conditions, maintenance issue?

It’s 31 years old, being a Boeing has nothing to do with it.

Duct tape of course

You can harvest the transformers for a couple junk microwaves to make an arc welder.

If you aren’t experienced then pretty much all power supplies, battery backups, and motors should be left to someone else.

I saw someone lose a finger (later reattached) to a washing machine with a jammed tub. It was plugged in and on when they reached underneath it and yanked the belt, their sleeve ducked their hand into the drive wheel.

That said, if it fits your personality it can be both fun and satisfying to learn how to fix stuff. I try to teach anyone who’s interested and asks. Except LG washing machines, those things can fuck right off.
