Your samba would be ever so much more danceable, were it to consist of more than one note.
Past editor of Men's Health. Now that's a credential if I ever saw one.
I see nothing's changed here.
*yawn*
I can't decide which of the two of you is more useless.
You should ask yourself the same question, since OP mentions shape but says nothing about voltage or other electrical conversion.
The short version: "Freedom for those who choose as we would have them do."
Imagine we were talking about building a swimming pool, but the city built the swimming pool so far out of town that only people that had private transportation could use it (there are no city busses that go there in my hypothetical), would you be cool with that?
Since that's the situation 80 to 90% of Americans find themselves in with regard to getting pretty much anywhere, it wouldn't seem to matter whether we're "cool with it" or not.
As for the imaginary free gas stations, you seem to forget that billions if not trillions of tax dollars have gone into building and maintaining roads and right of way suitable for IC vehicles. (Ever stop to consider just how much land area all our roads and accompanying infrastructure occupy? I'm willing to bet it's not a small number.) That's been going on since at least the 1940s. Not to mention all the tax breaks and other incentives handed out to automobile manufacturers and petroleum companies over that same span.
I'm pretty sure that you meant "Trump gas prices", since those are where they're at now precisely because Trump's rhetoric and his attempts to undermine European unity convinced Putin he could get away with a quick grab of Ukraine.
... I mean you can option a King Ranch to over $100k now, that is luxury vehicle and not a work truck.
Is that including the vintage "Obama's Last Day In Office" bumper sticker?
Jesus Harcourt Fenton Mudd Christ on a fucking pogo stick, I am so pissed off I could just spit.
No. More. Fucking. Time. Travel. Plots.
Next to last episode was Mmm, OK. The last one just left me cold.
Appreciate the commentary minus any spoilers, as I'll be watching the last 2 eps this evening.
And yes, SNW brings back something episodic of the original series to Trek, and that's a good thing. Picard was pretty good up until the last 2-3 episodes of the 2nd season, where they tried to cram in about twice as many tie-ins to other series as they had any business doing.
Smitty reveals his true agenda: Liberty for the "godly" straights, FU to everyone else.
You do understand that firearms are as important as a symbol of the sovereignty of "We The People" as they are a physical object.
Only to gun nuts. Other free societies manage to get along just fine without them. Having lived in a couple of those places, I've seen for myself that it's quite possible to get along without everyone packing heat.
Hopefully justice catches up with Kemp in GA for the election hijinks, too.
I believe it has already. Nice to see sanity prevail for once, innit?
To do nothing is to be nothing.
