I’m just going to say it here since it popped into my mind.

It’s better to reciprocate a lending hand than slap it away because it interferes with your ego.

@paninid

Response to Aral Balkan whom has blocked me. It really is telling when someone does this.

@kcarruthers I think I’m going to make a tunnel too, looking at the way everything is going!

Now, I see a whole lot of people professing their undying love of the Houthi. This keeps getting better and better! /s

@keithmorrisnm This is BIG!!!!!!

Steps to gaining the international community’s support:
1) Start a war by bombing straight through your neighbor’s defenses.
2) Invade and kill around a thousand people in order to kidnap around two hundred to do with what you like later.
3) Have cells in other countries protest neighbor’s “occupation” the very next day. Have them tell everyone they are “freedom fighters.”
4) Don’t protect your people when war happens.
5) Emphasize failure to protect people.
6) Declare “genocide” at .42% deaths.

I positively HATE looking at LinkedIn. What an absolute joke. #LinkedIn

Vehicles that make frequent stops (like school buses) are the sweet spot for battery-electric power. Regenerative braking recovers energy and makes the friction brakes last far longer.

It’s also safer and cleaner for everyone, especially kids.

Kudos to the Biden administration for investing in cleaner, greener school buses.

What in the world is this? #Spam

@dukepaaron I knew it was bound to happen immediately after the story first broke.

@Adam_Cadmon1 It is more expensive as many have mentioned but there is reason for that. In order to install lines underground one needs to consider the heat generated by those lines. There should be sufficient circulation and protection for underground lines (not typically a large city concern). Also, it is easier for the company to fix hanging lines than underground ones in rural areas.
It’s far more common for data lines to be run underground.

@TonyStark Absolutely, they get double slammed with costs to do their job and aren’t even afforded benefits! It’s madness. I have had some interesting conversations with people where those are their career paths. Drivers get screwed with vehicle costs and laborers’ health needs are scoffed at by their employers. In some cases it really bites because they offer joke insurance a lot of the time.

@TonyStark I had what I thought was a great job working on VPS systems back in 2006. I was hired as a contractor. Man was that a mistake. And a great many jobs that would otherwise be awesome tend to be.

@dukepaaron I’m pretty sure it’s ignorant antisemitism.
They keep acting like the Arab population has more rights to lands that they violently conquered, literally colonization, and controlled before it became posh to just randomly call any European originated population that.
I truly wonder if they understand indigenous communities at all. It’s like if Americans, that didn’t accept indigenous peoples, were being kicked out by the indigenous population they would have the same problem.

@dannotdaniel They are looking to appeal the simple farmers. People of the land. The common clay of the Florida marshes. You know, morons.
