- "women don't start wars"
- "28 European queenly reigns from 1480 to 1913 and found a 27 percent increase in wars when a queen was in power, as compared to the reign of a king."
my son had a cavity recently.
took him to the dentist and they ended up pulling the tooth.
the visit cost $2400. insurance only covered $250, so we’re left paying $2,150.
i’m already paying $612/month for family health and dental insurance.
yeah… something about this system doesn’t add up.
If she looked liked this in the game without the septum ring itd be a better start... this whole ugly af protagonist has ended the game before it even releases. IGN fixing to spend 6 months hyping this game just to get people to even look at it. Hell, if she even had Vasquez look from Aliens, that wouldve worked. But @Naughty_Dog made her dumb looking on purpose just to appeal to an insignificant woke metric thats entirely irrelevant by every measure thats necessary for a game to even exist.

Every European drying rack is the answer to a math problem Americans never have to solve.
Spain residential power runs €0.29/kWh. Germany €0.38. Texas runs $0.13. A conventional dryer eats roughly 4 kWh per cycle, so a single load costs €1.16 in Madrid vs $0.52 in Houston. Five loads a week, 52 weeks, you're at €300/year in Spain vs $135 in Texas just to spin a heated drum.
Stack the appliance economics. EU energy efficiency rules pushed cheap vented dryers off shelves years ago. The replacement is the heat pump dryer, which uses 50-60% less energy but retails €800-1500 vs $400 for a US vented unit. Worse upfront cost, worse running cost.
Then the apartment constraint. Most European flats don't have venting infrastructure and don't have a dedicated laundry room. The washer sits in the bathroom or kitchen. There's no space for a second machine even if the running cost made sense.
The drying rack costs €30. Lasts a decade. Uses zero electricity.
What you're looking at is a household that ran the numbers and refused to spend €2,000+ over ten years to dry clothes 6 hours faster than physics does for free.
The Texan at $0.13/kWh in a 200 sqm house was always buying the dryer. The Spaniard at €0.29/kWh in an 80 sqm flat was always buying the rack.
Mi psicólogo: "el Fiat Uno con una rueda torcida llevando en el techo a un hombre con un tractor no existe. Tomate esta pastilla y ya no lo vas a ver más."
Astronaut Tim Peake demonstrates aboard the International Space Station, a stationary object in microgravity will tumble aimlessly with even the slightest tap. But once a gyroscope begins to spin, it instantly locks into a rigid geometric plane, stubbornly refusing to be tilted.
This phenomenon is driven by angular momentum. The rapid rotation creates a powerful resistance to outside forces, granting the object an invisible, unyielding stability.
This is far more than a simple physics trick. This exact principle of spin stabilization is what keeps the massive space station perfectly oriented as it orbits the Earth; a profound reminder that in the chaotic vacuum of space, sometimes the only way to stay perfectly still is to keep moving.
@HumansNoContext If leftists today had 1% of the humility this woman had when confronted with their own ignorance, instead of bursting into rabid savages.
We would be making a lot of progress as a civilization.
First time I saw this photo I thought the shirt was just someone being loud for attention. Then I read her story. The squiggly lines on it are a GPS trail from her fitness tracker. And the words on it are what this woman screamed at the man who attacked her in a public restroom while she was out on a run.
A gang in Paris stole €600,000 from supermarkets using a vacuum cleaner
Between 2006 and 2010 two thieves found a flaw in how French Monoprix stores moved cash
Registers sent money through pneumatic tubes to a locked safe room
The safe was impossible to break into but the tubes weren't
After hours one of them would drill a small hole near the safe, attach an industrial vacuum cleaner and literally suck the cash out
Never opened the safe once
15 stores across Paris over 4 years
Total take: roughly €600,000
CCTV caught them during the final robbery but neither ever removed their ski masks on camera
After media started covering the story the vacuum gang just stopped
No arrests
No identities
No leads
To this day nobody knows who they are
Three men, aged 40, 60 and 80, discuss their sex lives...
The 40-year-old says: "When my wife and I were just married, we'd do it every single day. Any position you could imagine. But now I'm lucky if we can average once a week".
The 60-year-old man responds: "Once a week? Just wait till you get to my age. Once a month is what I consider an active sex life".
The 80-year-old man laughs and shakes his head.
"What a sad pair you two make. I'm an old and crusty fart, and I bang my wife almost every day of the week".
The other two look at him in disbelief.
"It's true", he says, "almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday..."
@GigglingGanon Did you know that nunchaku are considered cold weapons in Russia, and that their possession, manufacture, and sale without official permission can be illegal?
