It's good to have spares, so when this happens...

@realcaseyrollins

I'm not sure of the fedi term. Are you shitposting, or trolling?

What do they call it when you just make shit up without doing any research?

> The colonies were outside of Britain's jurisdiction.

By definition, a British colony receives benefits from Britain, and has obligations to Britain, and is under British control
How do you think they were outside Britain's jurisdiction?

The Emancipation Proclamation came AFTER the war. Secession was before the war.

> The South just broke the law.

Again, what law, specifically, did the south violate?

@realcaseyrollins
The colonies moved? So, Pennsylvania moved to North Carolina? I don't follow what you're trying to convey.

What law did the South break? Article and Section please.

@realcaseyrollins
1) So... what's the difference between the colonies declaring independence and the south declaring independence?

2) Change in ideology. Isn't that what I said?

@realcaseyrollins
Yes: all lives matter

The south was wrong if the 13 colonies were wrong. Declaring independence has been said to be a fundamental right, duty even, to dissolve non-productive political control.

There was a party switch. The south used to be majorly Democrat. Now it's majorly Republican.

When I smoked, that's where cigarettes went. Aside from that, a good place to keep a pen, which at various times in my life, I was never without.

Just fyi, I found the images neither shocking nor disturbing.

Actually a coffee "bean" is misnamed. It's the seed of the coffee cherry.

The Specialty Coffee Association says to use 55 grams coffee to 1 liter of 90°C - 95°C water.
(I use 65 grams)

Brew time should fall between 3 and 5 minutes depending on method, fineness of grind, and preference. Ideally, the coffee should have been roasted within the last two weeks, and ground no more than a few hours before brewing.

I haven't really been following closely, but what I've seen suggests that she believes trans women shouldn't compete with natural women in sports.

Seems perfectly rational to me.

@design_RG @mngrif @Sphinx

Not so much "abrangent" as concise. I never stated that ALL automatics are more efficient than ALL manuals. Since you seem to dislike concision...

Just saying that with 9 to 12 speed automatics and CVT's becoming more and more common, the old adage about manual advantage over automatic tends to be less true than it was.
Torque converters create heat while engaging. Clutches create heat while engaging. Torque converters switch over to mechanical connection when the computer says it's efficient to do so. Clutches likewise stop producing heat once they have a solid mechanical connection,
I believe.

@design_RG @mngrif @Sphinx
> They tend to be more fuel efficient too.

Was the case years/decades ago. No longer true.

@freemo
Yup. Laugh at their intent and they actually realize their powerlessness.

Offense is not something that can be given unless the intended recipient accepts it.
One can not "be offended." Rather, one chooses to accept offense or not.
