I don’t understand how the distance to see ground in the tank is longer than those of the Dodge and Chevy, but the distance to see children is shorter.

Yes, the introduction of steel to sail boat construction allowed bullders to blow previous size constraints out of the water. They were considered big and ugly. IRC Windjammer was an insulting name because they didn’t look like elegant craft that rode the wind, but wind jammers.

These are not windjammers though, are they? They look like pretty vanilla, small sail boats (IDK sloops ketches, or yawls… (Wrong … Too many masts. They’re schooners.) Windjammer was a derogatory moniker for the sailing ships built after steel construction became common. Much much taller masts, wire rigging etc.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d expect a much larger hull and 3 or 4 very tall masts, with something like four square sails per mast.

The Windjammers outcompeted steam vessels for many transoceanic trade routes because they don’t require the constant input of coal to operate.

Picture on that article depicts a ship with six square sails.

EDIT: looked at the picture again. I believe they are schooners.

Aren’t you worried you’re going to start attracting swingers with that thing in your window?

Listen here, Zac. The meme is addressed to “Mom”, a representative parental figure of - let’s assume - Gen X. Now, Gen X was not really into anime, which is the butt of the joke. They weren’t a bunch of weebs and probably also refer to group of the Japanese warrior class as ‘samurais’. HOWEVER, they called lots of little bricks ‘lego’. It was Millennials that started calling them ‘legos’.

So, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy.

Go play with your Legos, child.

If you’re having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.

You’re coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you’re wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.

I saw your spoiler, I still couldn’t figure out what was going on. Partly I was busy looking at her facial expressions, whereas to notice the puke you’ve got to be watching the bottom of her hand. Also, I’m not sure what the clip was like on desktop, but the narrative in the chat helps with interpreting the drama, and it’s just about illegible.

It would help if I could read the text! What happened?

EDIT: OK. <spoiler> I pieced together most of the chat. The blonde at the front covers her mouth like she’s shocked, but she’s hiding the fact that she’s puking in the hot tub. You can see it run down from under her hand. There’s a guy in chat calling her out for it, but she keeps trying to play it off. I assume buddy pulls up the video and confirms they’re all bathing in chunder broth, and everyone - except for the culprit - bails fast.</spoiler>

EDIT 2: I hope my spoiler tags worked.

Canned tuna fish.

IRC one of mushrooms’ main effects is to increase seratonin levels, so … Yeah, same basic thing.

The prevailing sentiment was that the Japanese would not surrender until their home islands were totally conquered. Their government was in the process of preparing the civilian population to fight to the death. (Research the invasion of Okinawa if you want to know what a US invasion of the main island would have been like.) In a version of the trolley dilemma, the American rational was that the loss of life in two horrific attacks that would shock the Japanese into surrender was less evil than the alternative of invading their home islands.

I’m not making that argument, or saying there were no alternatives, just that the Americans were weighing the loss of life (including civilians) involved in a nuclear bombing against the loss of life (including civilians) in invading the islands.

Notwithstanding other unthought of solutions, the strategy worked, and the apparent alternative would have been brutal.

No. That is not a member of the order of Hemiptera at all. It is an Orthopteran.

Daft Punk dropped a new track?

The Bible pretty clearly iterates that God does NOT like insincere prayers. Condemn hypocritical Christians all you want, but you don’t make shit up.

Oh please make it happen. That crew is too good to be stuck in Reddit.

IMO it’s tennis for Boomers who can’t hack tennis anymore.

That is such an overly simplistic and reductionist take. I’m not even sure the most control and fear oriented, “OT” Christians would accept that interpretation. I’m not even sure that there are any hardcore Jews that would accept that interpretation.

From a Christian perspective, Jesus is evidently non-violent and encourages non-violence (“those who live by the sword, die by the sword,” “let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” and his refusal to start a riot in Jerusalem when he’s being tried.)

Also, I’d take your Matthew quote as Jesus seeing himself as in conversation with the Jewish corpus of teachings, not divorcing himself from it. He’s evidently NOT ok with the blind implementation of OT teaching. Anyway, I’ve got to clarify that the translation of Torah as “law” misses a lot of nuance. “Teachings” might be a better translation. “The Law and the Prophets” is basically shorthand for what Christians would call the “Old Testament”.

He obviously interpreted and prioritised Old Testament teachings to place love, mercy, and redemption at the heart of interpretation, so to say that, “Jesus wants you to kill your non-Christian family,” is absolutely disingenuous.

They used a drone to spy on the New Zealand women’s team. That violated fair play. The article mentions the coach (?) saying that drone use was not limited to the women’s team or soccer. I wonder what else will come out?

EDIT: I got a couple things wrong. Here’s the actual quote: The head of Canada soccer has acknowledged the drone use was not limited to the women’s team or to Paris.

Oh man, that’s too bad. I hate the corporate takeover of agriculture. I totally noticed the degradation in Island Farms dairy when Agropur took over.
