The B-52 is designed to fly high-altitude at high subsonic speed. And they're not very maneuverable. They're meant to fly straight to a target, drop a payload, and GTFO.

Gunships fly low and slow, banking in a circle to keep their guns on target. For a B-52 to do the same maneuver, it'd have to be higher and much further away.

This is like saying we should make a Chinook bomber because it could carry a lot of bombs. Like yeah, it could, but there's better options.

NO. Festivus poles are aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.

Imagine, if you will, a three by seven inch wooden frame -- a frame that's a gateway to a world of imagination. Wipe your mind on the welcome mat. You're about to enter...

The Scary Door.

Other, larger vending machines.

I don't want this to come off as insensitive, because if that's true it's horrific and she has all my sympathy.

Buuutttttt... A lot of those posts are kinda unhinged. She claims her brother shadowbanned her "on every platform but only fans and pornhub". And she lists a bunch of physical ailments that are somehow his fault too?

I don't know. Either way, she has my sympathy because she's obviously going through some shit. And Sam's obviously a piece of shit. But maybe take this allegation with a grain of salt? Or don't, I'm fuckin dumb

Man you're so cool

I feel like this is casually racist but I couldn't tell you why

Cocaine withdrawal isn't that bad. It's all mental. You might get anxious or depressed and cocaine will be the only thing you think about for a while, but that's it.

Benzo or alcohol withdrawals will actually kill you. Those need to be handled with medical assistance.

Opioid withdrawal isn't quite that dangerous, but it certainly will make you want to die.

Yikes

What the hell is even that

Uhh... You know they're not trying to ban straws, right?

It's about single use plastics. Straws can actually be made of many different materials which can be reused or recycled.

And who the fuck hasn't used a straw in years? Seriously, I can't even imagine... Maybe people who were born without lips?

What are you even talking about I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Am I topological pants

Nah, that's obviously a folk-punk band with an industrial revolution concept album

Not really. It is still used, but the vast majority of blasting is done with ANFO now. Much safer and much cheaper.

Meh. It was a decent way to make nitroglycerin less unstable, but there are so many better, safer explosives. TNT, for example, is stable enough to be melted down and cast into shells. C4 burns like a candle and won't detonate without a blasting cap.

Dynamite tends to "sweat" nitroglycerin over time, and then the slightest amount of heat, friction, or impact can cause it to detonate.

TNT has nothing to do with dynamite or Nobel. It was discovered years before dynamite was invented, however it wasn't used as an explosive at first. And dynamite is just a mostly stable preparation of nitroglycerin. Nobel didn't discover any new explosive compounds, he literally just mixed stuff with nitro.

Bruh, Biden getting sucked off by anyone would be world news

I upvoted you because, although you're on the wrong track, it's a completely reasonable conclusion without any context.

This has got to be some kind of fascist fartpost, right?
