you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

Shame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.

Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!

Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!

Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.

Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.

That’s right up there with calling Epsteins victims “underage women” instead of CHILDREN

Plus, im sure more than a few of the agents involved were salty at being yanked off real jobs to comb through thousands of pages to hide evidence their president is a rapist.

Pinch or 12 of salt and all that, but a coworker’s brother WAS in the FBI until June, and apparently a lot of people are actively quitting or bare minimum looking for new jobs specifically due to Trump and his administration

BUT HER EEEEEEEEMAAIILSSSSSSSS

Wait till next year and you will see people burning down the White House.

Ooh, are we throwing an apology party for the Canadians?

This right here is exactly why I have no issue with the Luke and Lando destroying either death star.

Were there independent contractors present? Tons. Heaps, even.

I can tell you a contractors personal politics comes into play heavily when choosing jobs.

Anyone who knows the score and chooses to actively participate in evil and morally dubious business gets no sympathy if shit hits the fan.

Also as 3rd party labor, most recently I refused to do any jobs that took me into a Target. Lost out on about $3000 of work, but they will never get anything from me, even if they’re paying me for it (directly or not)

Hey now, that’s a misrepresentation of both the US and China.

China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn’t 1896.

And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won’t be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.

Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change?

It’s not about the money

It’s about “fuck you, I do what I want now do what I tell you or I will throw more money than most cities get in their yearly budget in order to ruin everything for everyone”

I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.

We truly live in a society

BOTTOM TEXT

They’re saying it’s on the SUV driver to prove they didn’t do illegal things that resulted in the accident, assuming normal police requests don’t do it first (security camera footage of the intersection) because nobody knows for sure who ran a red light except the people involved, unless there’s proof.

Not “someone said the SUV ran a red light and everyone believed them instantly without proof and the SUV was found at fault”

In a row?!

Evolution.

It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans. ::: spoiler (it’s the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day) :::

I had recently read a book that had

Shit, imma need that title…

I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…

Well, shit.

If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

Matter=energy=matter.

If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.

First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you’ve got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.

And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that’s just laying around all over the universe.

Jaysus, Keiko, it’s like you don’t even listen to me when we’re having dinner…

back to the pattern buffer for you I guess…

First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there’s no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.

Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.

Honestly any version of replicators…

Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he’s ready to end it all.

I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I’m expected to show up for work the next day…
