"Was" threatening to secede? This is from like a week ago: https://www.newsweek.com/texas-independence-usa-secession-1852816

Why not both!

Depends on what you are using it for.

I'm not informed enough on the specifics of why those two countries are/were against Sweden joining, so I can't speak to that, but every member of the alliance has to approve new members, which is why anyone gives a shit what they think or want. Of course, a healthy alliance isn't one that ignores its members, so even if their approval wasn't required, it would probably still be best to get it.

If she has kids, they gotta be the most well behaved kids in the history of the universe.

If you don't own it when paying for it then you aren't stealing it when pirating it.

Oh, and ignore the fact that the winter storm took out the power because we have our own grid and it's barely regulated, making it predictably not able to handle the kind of winter storms we're now more likely to get due to the climate change that we don't believe in.

I think by the down votes, it's clear that it was my fault for not being more clear. Thanks, though. :)

Yes, that was what I was going for. I wouldn't ever call an old lady ugly, so I didn't even see how my comment could be misinterpreted. In hindsight, I think I should have quoted the "ancient" bit from the comment I was responding to.

Thanks!

I was referring to how half of them look like they have one foot in the grave and should have retired already.

Pelosi looks like something that would shamble out of the darkness in a horror movie and she isn't the only one. They could kill the power in the Capitol Building during an evening vote (a last minute vote to push back a shutdown for a few weeks, for example) and then film a new Night of the Living Dead movie.

Edit: Sorry, I did not see how people could misunderstand this. I was referring to how half of congress is old enough to be virtually the walking dead, not so much saying Pelosi is ugly or something. She, and a lot of them, are past the average life expectancy in the US and should have retired years ago.

For now.

Oh shit, I think I just discovered a kink. I have always enjoyed ripping open those bags, but I have never had the opportunity to rip fishnet stockings. Now, it occurs to me that I may really enjoy ripping open a pair of fishnet stockings to get to the...fruit...inside.

And mods. There are a TON of mods for CS1.

It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it's still ugly as hell, but if it's harder for the cops to bust you for speeding...

Maybe they meant that they're already done masturbating for the day? Just 20 minutes into browsing? High praise indeed for this incest coffee porn, I say. Good job, Folgers.

In the picture of him swearing an oath to support the constitution, he has a hand on the bible and another raised, so he must have been crossing his toes. That totally counts...in kindergarten.

What are you saying? We're not supposed to form ignorant mobs with pitchforks?

"Reporter."

You are absolutely not supposed to do that. In fact, you're supposed to do the opposite. Letting your car idle to warm up kills it faster because the oil pump isn't running because the car isn't moving.

That is absolutely not true. The engine runs the oil pump, so the pump is working as long as the engine is spinning, assuming the pump is not faulty, of course. I'm not aware of any car engine ever built where that isn't true.

That being said, idling your (modern) car for longer than a minute, or as long as necessary to defrost the windows in the winter, is a waste of fuel and, consequently, emissions. It's also an unnecessary wear on mechanical parts, but not because the engine is cold or hot, but simply because it's in use.
