Plumbers make hand over fist if they’re good at their job. Many people get turned away by the “you deal with shit pipes” stigma so whoever sticks around are in huge demand.

Thanks for educating me on this difference with champagne. I didn’t know that.

Looks like he found a weapon used by his security detail and against all basic common sense decided to treat it like a toy without knowing the first thing about how to handle it safely.

This employee’s life is being put in danger by an idiot who is smiling because he has no grasp on the severity of the situation he is creating.

I’d say that “uncomfortable” is an understatement.

Yes. It is actually illegal to add sugar to wine in France and Italy. They are extremely proud and protective of their wine industry and do not want it to turn into something that churns out boring mass produced products that taste exactly the same year after year. They see value in the differences in the wine years caused by the different weather conditions and the know-how and efforts to create a good wine without resorting to cheap modern shortcuts. Winemakers aren’t even allowed to water their vineyards.

You’re gonna give Frenchmen aneurysms by suggesting that adding sugar to a wine is a normal and trivial thing like that. I mean it is in most places of the world, but not there.

He won’t. His goal at that point is to avoid the consequences of his actions and abusing presidential powers is the best chance he has for that.

If you think that the last election was a mess, wait to see the next one. Trump has nothing to lose anymore and will reach new lows in hopes to save his own selfish ass. He has demonstrated again and again already that he lacks the moral capacity to do otherwise.

I’m paraphrasing here: “What? I can’t escape the consequences of my shit actions anymore? What has gotten to this country?”

If they are to drive an armored vehicle on public roads during peace time, even the military necessitates a vehicle commander standing out of his hatch with direct communications with the driver so he can have an overview of what’s around the vehicle and compensate for the driver’s blind spots. It is a basic safety rule.

Trump says whatever he feels that at the moment would get a positive reaction from the audience at the time with zero regards to consistency or truth.

At the moment of saying that, he wanted to gain Musk’s support.

He’s trying to have Elon Musk endorse him instead of Kennedy because he knows he needs every single billionaire bootlicking and/or conspiracy theorist voter he can get.

He knows Musk is still pissed at Biden for snubbing him.

Just subscribe a made up email address. I just mashed my keyboard a few times to type in an address and it worked.

Also trying to force someone to sign up to their mailing list just so you can see an article is a shit tactic. Who the fuck signs up to mailing lists from random websites anyway?

I didn’t expect the the Spanish Inquisition to be mentioned

This just gave me the idea of an item that is secretly highly radioactive. Carrying it and being around it it would slowly give the character increasingly acute symptoms of radiation poisoning.The characters can’t possibly understand what radiation poisoning is so they would think it is some sort of magical curse. However no magic users would be able figure out what it is and how to stop it.

I’m wondering how long it would take for the players themselves to figure out what it really is, or if they ever would.

Life goal: Become that old man who yells at kids who touch his lawn.

Only fined? Whoever made that requirement is going to continue causing damage. This person should be banned from any management position or position where they have power over other people.

I remember Google forcing a Google + down the throats of everyone who had a Google-related account such as a YouTube account. Then they started boasting about the record growth of their social media platform. I immediately knew that this was only a tactic to please their investors.

Years later they finally caught on with what as going on when someone published the usage data revealing that most of the traffic on Google+ didn’t spend more than 5 seconds on the site. This meant that most of their “usage” was people who accidentally clicked on the wrong link or immediately left the moment they saw whatever they were interested in was on Google+

Reddit is doing the same thing by not deleting bot accounts to make it sound like the activity on the site is much greater than it actually is.

Now all we need is the MGM logo screen with the lion roaring but with the sound of a siren edited in.

Technically, the one who loses the fight should be the one who gets to use the seat.

Have those ever had any incidence?

By using the physical buttons on the display units. But then Plasma changes those settings back whenever it has a chance.
