Volkswagen used forced labor from concentration camps. I don’t think there’s any way to argue that a company built upon human suffering isn’t evil - or at least wasn’t at the time.

The Autobahn was built using forced labor of re-education camps, prisoners of war, prison inmates, and Jews from concentration camps. If the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in an aircraft built of human flesh from murdered victims, nobody sane would be celebrating their achievement.

There is NOTHING honorable about causing harm to others so you can have more for yourself.

A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.

Well the polls, surveys, questionnaires and polls; that’s not got much polls in it.

This seems odd to me, as solar power generation often increases the need for power generation that can be quickly brought on- and off- line to fill in the gaps outside of daylight hours, on cloudy days, etc. Natural Gas plants are some of the fastest-reacting available in this regard, so installation of grid-scale solar projects often come along with natural gas plants as well.

Traditionally, the incumbent has a huge advantage. I don’t believe that the party of any sitting president that was primaried ever won the election. There are only a few cases of a sitting president that was eligible for another term stepping aside, and those were a very long time ago.

There was very little precedent for what Biden did, and I think very few could have predicted the enthusiasm for Harris - I remember her last campaign. It wasn’t inspiring.

I think Biden felt like the safest choice to many, though obviously that’s been proven incorrect. Hopefully the Democratic party will take a lesson from this and be more willing to replace an incumbent in the future if there’s a better option.

All conservatives seem to be anymore is 3rd grade schoolyard bullies. I guess they’re just as weak and insecure. Such a shame that such a huge chuck of the population will never reach self actualization. What a pitiful existence - kinda makes me sad for them.

Post belongs to Post Holdings, which is publicly traded. Folgers is a subsidiary of Proctor & Gamble, and Jimmy Dean is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods. It seems unlikely that all three companies would even support their products being hocked together in such a manner. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was unauthorized and he’s attempting to appear like he has more support than he really does.

Edit: spotted Maxwell House in there too, and that’s owned by yet another company, Kraft Heinz.

Edit 2: Ah, it appears he wasn’t hocking these products after all. Apparently we don’t have to start foraging our own food yet.

Also not on Eternity

Takes me about 2 seconds with a 5lb steel mallet.

Disclaimer: I hate cruises and the entire industry, but ended up getting roped into a few before COVID by weird family dynamics.

I found a portable router to be pretty handy on cruise ships. The only Internet available is through the ship’s WiFi, and the Internet package I had limited connectivity to a single connected device per cabin. The travel router would be the single MAC and allow all our devices to connect. I was also able to share with family in the next cabin over.

A few months ago I stayed in a hotel for about a week and I couldn’t get my Nintendo Switch to connect through their Wi-Fi. My Switch also doesn’t work on my phone’s hotspot for some reason, even though other devices connect and work fine. Anyway, that scenario would’ve been nice for a travel router, but I didn’t bring it with me on that trip.

This is a short distance from the equator. The seasons there don’t really affect temperature significantly; only rainfall.

[JULES] They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

[VINCENT] No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn’t know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

[JULES] Then what do they call it?

[VINCENT] They call it Royale with Cheese.

[JULES] Royale with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?

[VINCENT] Big Mac’s a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
