“Why is the country founded on white supremacy acting like white supremecists?”

Gibraltar is about the same latitude as the Virgina/North Carolina state line. So southern Europe essentially ends halfway down the US Eastern seaboard

I like to point out that New York to LA os essentially the same distance as Moscow to Lisbon, while Seattle to Miami os about the same as London to Baghdad. That’s why St. Louis was the furthest west MLB team until the 50’s. The logistics for US sports are insane

Which way? Because it gets incredibly hot in the Canadian prairie. There is no body of water to regulate temperature so the summers can get serious heat waves while the winter is absolutely frigid. Granted, Edmonton is still considerably further south than Stockholm.

That actually really fucked up the first French attempts to settle the St. Lawrence river. They knew it was a similar latitude as Paris so they were completely unprepared for their first winter in Quebec City.

Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt seemed to have done fine by dominating actually useful industries. Even JP Morgan made bank by loaning money to those guys doing cutthroat business and screwing over their workers. Because steel, oil, and shipping were useful industries for society. Modern tech firms are investing billions just for an excuse to layoff theor workforce.

People have been pushing raw water for decades.

Why use a ratio of the length of the Earth? Why not the Moon? Or the Sun? Or Mars?

So the heater takes all energy you put into it and turns it into heat at a 100% efficiency

What happens when photons emitted from the heater hit items in the room? That energy is imparted into the object, heating it up.

Light is just heat energy

Amazon has more money than most countries. They can outlast any company in court, or just ban you from their services in the future.

Sure, but the bird calls, insect chirps, and croaking frogs are all trying to doink

They were kicked out of the finals 2 years ago after a smear campaign from the Israeli broadcaster. They absolutely have an axe to grind

Crypto bubbles haven’t even begun to crash. People are gonna keep “investing” their life savings into it and keep being blown away when the orice craters again in a few years

I work in a print shop and i also hate the printer.

Fuck you Xante. I hate you so much

He would have been 92 next month, so my guess would be he is mid 20’s in this picture. I’m not sure what year they got married. Living through the Blitz in a strategically important city will do that to you. Grandpa told me a story about how his dad (on the left) had severe shell shock and would refuse to go into their bomb shelter in the back garden. He would make aure the family was safe in there, and them stand outside and watch the planes. My other great-grandfather on the right got an accomodation for helping a wounded Canadian officer get off some beach in WW2, i wish i remembered which one. Those old Geordies lived through some serious shit.

My grandpa died yesterday and so my mom was sending out pictures. She just took a picture of it with her phone, so i cropped out the frame to post it, which definitely makes the quality look poorer. My great grandfather on the left there was an old Geordie dock worker with horrid shell shock from WW1, which you can see in his eyes.

I have a bunch of photos of my American grandma’s photos that i want to start scanning. I even have video film that says “Christmas 1942” that i am eager to see.

No can do, gotta teach students how to pass the tests that gives the school federal funding

You can’t fool me. I’ve read Moby Dick and Melville dedicated an entire chapter about how whales are absolutely fish
