@lupyuen It sounds like interrogation. Many of similar methods could possibly work too.

@thendrix It was for the railroads especially in the south. There was a time when we tried to keep trains from coming off the rails.

Kudzu League is also a thing.

@thendrix That's likely due to the area. The rest of the state has a different pride flag. It's not necessarily a symbol for domestic abuse and DUIs but some stereotypes exist for a reason.

It is however a flag that people died for after the Federalists betrayed their own country.

The old pride flag at least meant something. While being more inclusive might have been a good choice, it seems to have become a problem. Good people died for that rainbow flag and I don't see the inclusiveness doing anything but degrading the image.

Two very unpopular views. Honest opinions though.

@thendrix Yes the jealousy is real. Asian women just seem to be better in every way. Having a white woman say some feminist nonsense for holding the door, like a cultured gentleman in the south should, left me very confused. I did notice that the pasty white thing didn't have a problem walking through the open door.

Some are okay I suppose.

They always hated Asians even more than white women as white women tend to join the cult and enjoy the abuse.

Already getting pollen all over the place. Yellow tree sperm all over the place. I just pulled up a ton of tiny saplings this weekend. Pine trees can’t be stopped.

@thendrix Time to replace the air filters in the vehicles or wash the K&N along with getting the oil off all the sensors after it. I don't regret getting a K&N because I have to deal with a lot of dust. There is just the issue of washing it, letting it air dry, oiling it and letting it soak up the oil. That's like 4 hours.

The drop in replacements make the engine sound better. I can't say that it makes more power but it seems to. The Interior air filter is always a good one to replace as some of the sensors are susceptible to getting coated and failing. Those might require pulling the entire front interior of a vehicle to replace. The First Gen Fusions, Mercury something and Lincoln MKZ are bad about it. I've had to replace that 30 buck sensor on two occasions. There's no air filter on those and the AC refuses to work if it fails.

30 dollar part with around 500 in labor. Yep tree cum time means time to replace all the air filters. Pine pollen is too large to cause allergies but the perfect size to clog an air filter. The South without AC isn't fun unless it's an old pickup or car with the air vents near the window.

All this green stuff is coming out the trees!

Maple trees finally getting green leaves while the red tips and seeds are out. Got some black cherries or something with long white flowers too. However I noticed some purple kudzu flowers from neighbor’s… do they not own a flamethrower?

@thendrix The fragrance of Kudzu flowers is really lovely. A flamethrower won't work as well as suspected. It comes back without anything else competing with it for nutrients and sunlight. I think the best way to get rid of it is to eat it or black mat the area and add a few inches of topsoil.

The world: we can't grow food. Kudzu: takes over the south better than the Federalist invaders. I believe it is edible too. I don't recall it having any poisons in it. I think the leaves are edible but I'm not an expert. Spraying it with blue Kool aid made from crystals will get rid of it. If purchasing the blue crystals is not wise, copper and Epson salts should make the solution in an electrolytic cell.

As with everything in the South, no just means find or develop another way.

@thendrix Which one was it? There are a few that aren't hidden but aren't exactly common knowledge.

If it's the main building, I believe that it was rated to withstand a small nuke. I'm assuming an external det but it could also be an internal det potentially. They just didn't want it to collapse. The OKC building collapsing was a bad look.

I'll have to look into this, it sounds very interesting.

@thendrix Oh Planet Fatness, the gym where one gets reported for grunting or actually lifting.

I was referring to Ukraine, but the US military is about in the same boat.

@thendrix It's strange that a tank from the same era reached across the class barrier and slapped it down. The same tank that got Germany mad because we wanted to make it turbine powered and they stopped the combined effort.

Well the US, Ukraine, Russia and China have a lot in common. We occasionally fail to build things correctly and rely on human wave tactics for things besides war.

The smell of cannabis is somewhat annoying when you're not the one smoking it. It's not a particularly pleasant smell. Reminds you a bit of cat piss. I knew one guy who smoked it constantly. His breath smelled like literal shit. Makes your brain feel kind of foggy for days after you smoke it too. Not an unpleasant feeling exactly, but there's definitely the feeling that something's in your system.

Easter has been an opportunity to stay completely off the bottle too. Did have a couple of beers with my gym buddy, but honestly, coffee would've been better. We were already full of endorphins from the workout and didn't need any more tranquillisers.

The drugs are a bit like cheating. They hijack brain circuitry that's meant to be activated by actual happiness-inducing activities and distract you from seeking those out. That's not to say that I will never indulge. I'm just saying that there's rarely an upside to it, yet many potential downfalls.

@thor Performance enhancement is a justifiable reason to take certain things. Being strong, fast and annoyingly confident was what I thought was the best treatment for insecurities. I wasn't entirely wrong but I began to attract more men and then women all considered me a harmless friend.

Even if you're a staunch defender of imperial units, you're still using metric. They were redefined in terms of metric at one point. An inch wasn't always exactly 25.4 mm, but that's how it's defined now, even in the United States. So, in a way, everyone's using metric.

@thor The M16A2 is approximately a Meter long. Yes we embrace the funny euro units and celebrate their existence.

For my fellow Americans struggling with posting sensitive measurements, just take a quarter of the size and multiply by ten and that's close enough. Personality has probably already made them not interested.
