Lol if you drag the China country to the South Pole it glitches and then covers the rest of the world minus Antarctica. 😊

If by slightly you mean nearly 20%, I believe that’s only because of Alaska, then it would be smaller. The real crazy huge one is modern day Russia which is easily double Australia and almost 80% larger than the United States.

- Comment on Paris votes to crack down on SUVs | Non-Parisians will be charged almost $20 per hour to park large gas or hybrid vehicles within the city center in a bid to address pedestrian safety and air pollu... 9 months ago:
No good point, I appreciate discussions!
I think they know if it didn’t exempt city residents there would be enough backlash from eligible voters it wouldn’t pass. Seeing as it’s a fine and not a ban it can have secondary effects of improving safety and the environment but primarily it will raise money.

Well they also exempt taxis and city residents so it’s not about safety or the environment it’s about the money.
- Comment on YSK: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix makes fantastic waffles. 9 months ago:
I’m just having trouble picturing how the spacer works without ripping the waffle apart when removed. Is it like a rod? Cause I’m picturing a ping pong paddle type spacer but that wouldn’t pull out, or are the waffle top and bottom not cooked together?
- Comment on YSK: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix makes fantastic waffles. 9 months ago:
Yeah but tell me more about this stuffed waffle maker. I have never heard of these and as I type I realize I sound like the shill part two… still curious though, does it make like a waffle sandwich?

- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 9 months ago:
No, they don’t mean Jews religiously. They mean Jewish through heritage, similar to the way many countries do citizenship by birthright rather than birthplace (like the US does). In Hebrew law(?) the birthright is passed down by the mother as prior to genealogy that was a surefire way of proving your parent is who they say they are.
My information is secondhand and any corrections are welcome.
- Comment on Outrage as Oklahoma Republican’s bill labels Hispanic people ‘terrorists’ 9 months ago:
So any business that hires Hispanic workers is now aiding and abetting known terrorists. I’d put $10 down that JJ or his relatives have such a business.
I’d even be fairly certain that if he changed the language to “being in the US illegally” that he or someone close to him would still be culpable.

- Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while? 9 months ago:
Yeah they said only pickles, and even with the liquid in the pickles it’s so briny that unless they are also drinking additional water their kidneys would keep using more water the same way drinking salt water would cause. I took the question as only pickles and that, as you said, would only last until dehydration sets in. Now if they have unlimited fresh water I’d say until malnutrition so maybe a few weeks, a few horrible weeks. Just playing along and speculating, I am not a MD.

You know what I had forgotten those details. Good recall!
- Comment on Oh hey, I heard Star Trek got mentioned on the news! Let's just go check and- 10 months ago:
Yeah I thought about the Kirk-Uhura kiss but two things, they aren’t currently openly saying that shouldn’t be allowed (on Fox News) and considering she was a Yeoman or a Lieutenant at the time being kissed by her Captain is right along the “grab em by the pussy” narrative they side with.
You are right if they looked at any of the social establishments that the franchise embraces they would hate it.
- Comment on Oh hey, I heard Star Trek got mentioned on the news! Let's just go check and- 10 months ago:
My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.

Well… as someone who thinks he spends more money at Starbucks than is smart I’d go as far to say anyone going there is a little dumb lol
- Comment on Dark side of Starbucks app: Coffee giant accused of rigging payments to the tune of nearly $900 million over 5 years | Fortune 10 months ago:
And yet they still claimed an average of $180,000,000 a year the past 5 years that people didn’t spend.
I’m with you this is something Starbucks probably doesn’t engineer, it’s just people being dumb.

And then Julian’s plan would cause more chaos than had it not been implemented because one person went ahead and returned their cart.

Debatable but it really looks like he does it accidentally while scrambling off his opponent.

All fights end up on the ground. Judo excels at getting them there faster and BJJ at ending it once horizontal.
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January - Sodium-ion batteries have lower density but are cheaper and perform better in cold weather 10 months ago:
All good, I’m just happy to see more innovation making its way to the public realm.
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January - Sodium-ion batteries have lower density but are cheaper and perform better in cold weather 10 months ago:
When a headline like this says first I think it either means first test vehicle and it’ll be years before it’s available to the public or first brand, which is what I’d rather be hearing about. Article starts off saying “the first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) with a sodium-ion battery”. If they buried that I’d say it was a clickbait headline but this way it seems pretty up front they’re just shortening for length. In my opinion. 🙂

- Comment on Aww, did somebody get addicted to white? 11 months ago:
Except this is mimicking a scene in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” where the dealer spots them as an easy mark so he knows he can overcharge them for what he’d probably give away to a non addict in order hook them. In case you weren’t aware, if you were running with another gag sorry I missed it 🤗

Yeah I thought it trolled a little too hard at first, but when someone else pointed out what it ‘meant’ I feel like if they’re trolling they got it just right.
