I’ve hunted in conditions like this not far from the Arctic Circle. A shelter like this is wonderful in a storm. It’s not particularly warm because the updraft from the fire sucks in air from the open door and the room never gets above the ambient temperature. It looks cozy, but you’re dependent on your sleeping bag for any retained heat during the night.

@SonnyCrockett92 Evan. Great plot line, fantastic denouement, tragic ending that served a sense of moral symmetry. And Peter Gabriel’s song Biko sets the tone for the sad farewell between former friends.

@fandompulse I’m not great at this, but what if we made Blade the protagonist defending us mortals against vampires that had gained new tactical advantages because they teamed up with powerful supernatural creatures who wanted to rule earth? Would that work?

Marvel announced Mahershala Ali as Blade at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2019. Two directors fired. Four complete script overhauls. A version set in the 1920s that was scrapped — its costumes later sold to Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Mia Goth cast as the villain, then confirming the project "unraveled." Kevin Feige admitting four versions were developed and abandoned. Industry insider Jeff Sneider: "Blade is dead. He will not be introduced in a solo movie." Ali will reportedly appear in a Midnight Sons ensemble instead — nearly a decade after the original announcement. Is Blade's development the single biggest disaster in MCU history, or does something else take that title?

@Variety It’s quite similar to the conditions in Soviet gulags. Sad.

Lisa Kudrow says the "Friends" writers were "mostly men" who reprimanded the cast for forgetting lines and stayed "up late discussing their sexual fantasies" about her female co-stars: "Don't forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers' lines or it didn't get the perfect response they could be like, 'Can’t the bitch f---ing read? She's not even trying. She f---ed up my line.'" variety.com/2026/tv/news/l…

I agree that the operator of the 3-wheeler is responsible for its use. The injuries were just so common and the lawsuits generated so much liability (spinal cord injuries are expensive) that they weren’t profitable to keep on the market. I’ve owned two 4-wheelers and they were best backwoods/hunting vehicles I’ve used (including horses).

@MAC_Arms @alphafox Exactly my point: these spinal cord injuries are rarely fatal; the issue is they’re permanent. Even trampolines can’t compete with them for “most patients in a wheelchair”.

@GarrettsBrain @alphafox Studies in the late 80's and early 90's found that in non-fatal injuries, the 3 wheeler was 3x's more likely to cause an injury. In terms of fatalities, they are evenly matched. The 3 wheelers hurt more people because of side rollovers due to their 3 wheel design.

Sure you would, AFTER the Commission On the Delivery of Explosive Ordinance had finished their investigation and submitted their written findings to Parliament. A vote would proceed within several weeks, and certainly no longer than 6 months. Total annihilation after that (assuming a positive finding by the Commission).

The 3-wheelers do something that motorcycles and 4-wheeers don’t: they “wheelie” incredibly easily, and when the front wheel flips fully backwards, the handlebars strike the rider’s neck causing paralysis. I’m a neurosurgeon and I’ve treated a half-dozen of these. Unfortunately it’s a design failure.

@alphafox They were death machines. Manufacturers voluntarily stopped importing them in the 80's and in 2008 a law passed making importing them nearly impossible. So, they now import 4 wheelers which are just as dangerous and hurt/kill just as many people if not more.

@awstar11 @EggerDC The Dispatch is journalism for conservatives who hate conservative policies. Whenever I find myself too weak to consider self-harm, I read The Dispatch……

To be taken seriously in the role you describe, Dispatch must actively and consciously avoid reflexive "Bulwarkian" responses to Trump. Make an effort to separate the bluster from the real and occasionally praise the positive outcomes he's enabled. Also, avoiding making common cause with Democrats means not endorsing progressive, far-left candidates. Someone should inform David French.

Honestly I don't find this psychological explanation compelling at all. The big difference is positional.
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende

@charlescwcooke The difference between the Bulwark and the Dispatch I think is this: The Dispatch treats Trump as a bad president who should be opposed when appropriate. The Bulwark treats him as the Satan of a Catholic Baptism, where you're morally bound to reject all his works and promises.

@GoldBar_Z @itskyleconner The rear seats recline with foot rests, drop down television screen, partition front seats from rear, refrigerator, incredible suspension system lets you drive at speed over bumps and not feel them, and a few other things like fit and finish. It’s Maybach quality.

This car is a marvel Complete in-house vertical integration of powertrain, electrical architecture, chassis, and user functions - 48V low voltage / 925V high voltage Dead silent at speed, great sound system, very comfortable seats, and bounces like a Maybach GLS It’s baller… from a technical and visually imposing standpoint. Completely different character to S-Class / 7 Series but one that’s perfectly fitted to the customer of today, and certainly of no less perceived quality than the Germans. Every automaker needs one of these for benchmarking because hoooooly macaroni NIO ET9 💯 💯

What do you think would have happened if the US had adopted the FAL (T48 trials rifle seen here) vs. the M14? Do you think the M16 would have still happened? Would we have used the FAL well into the 80's or beyond? @DSArmsinc @palmettoarmory
