Germany, you say? It’s local name will be something with WAY too many letters.
Edit: Relax, folks. ALL languages are kinda messy in their own way. There’s a difference between a good-natured joke and heartfelt criticism. I’m not criticizing anything. Plus, I’m speaking English, which is an absolute dumpster fire.
That bridge is for a train track. Raising it would be a large, expensive, time consuming project. If you’re changing the grade of a train track, it will need to be long, gradual, and smooth.
Fortunately, common sense usually works there, too. If person A makes highly specific or unusual statement, person B reasonably asks for a source, and person A angrily responds with defensiveness and accusations, then it’s pretty clear that person A was talking out of their ass.
I understand where you’re coming from, but it’ll be easy to tell. Someone who’s sealioning will skip or “forget” points you’ve already made when they’re making their counter arguments. The conversation will be irritating and demanding.
Someone who genuinely wants to discuss and learn won’t wear on you that way. Their replies won’t have that “I outsmarted you and you’re an idiot” kind of feel. It’s hard to explain, but people can recognize the difference. I don’t think there’s a threat to honest debate here.
Yes, it’s possible to confuse sealions with people who are simply rude and obnoxious, but since I don’t like talking to either one, I don’t much care.
When done “well”, you can find yourself lured into a long, increasingly exasperating conversation. You can never win by engaging. I just ignore them and move on.
No, you’re not being unreasonable. In my opinion, you’re being the more rational one.
I can see why he’s attracted to the idea of living in rural Wyoming, because it’s an absolutely beautiful place. However, the day-to-day practicalities can’t be ignored. If it’s in your budget, perhaps consider a long-term rental (a short-term rental won’t do. It would probably only reinforce his ideas). Once he really feels the isolation, he might change his mind. MIGHT. I don’t really have any better suggestions.
"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f--- they’re doing," Trump said as he departed the White House for the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
That’s… actually a pretty decent (if oversimplified) summary. I’m reluctant to give Donakd credit for anything, but here we are.
Want the “ceasefire” to actually stick? Stop helping defend Israel. That’s a bloody, horrible option, but it’s less bloody than letting Netanyahu continue his rampage.
I think you’re right about the material properties. I read somewhere that Lego is really finicky about the specific “recipe” for their plastic bricks, and yes, as a result they can specify higher tolerances.
