No, he moved forward without bothering to ask anyone for permission and then fired the oversight agency when they loudly complained about the complete destruction of the East Wing.

So, in order. He doesn’t want to, emphatically no, and he doesn’t give two shits about either, but loves the bribes and stuffing construction companies.

Not if he doesn’t change that ladder. A, it can kill the tree to nail into it like that, and B, those nails can also work themselves out, especially wet, windy, or even dry. Basically anything that stresses the tree.

Anyway, the board usually doesn’t fall out on its own. The most common time for it to give out is suddenly and unpredictably while someone is climbing on it.

I was a bit of an amateur mixologist as a child, and the top machine was my pallet.

But what was more, the corner store gas station that was down the street from my childhood home had multiple machines, each with 4 or 5 different drink options.

Years later, a friend of mine worked there as a summer job and told the friend group to avoid the fountain drinks so we did, and probably all still do.

There are thousands of ant hill sculptures in the world.

The two main ways of making them are either aluminum or some sort of concrete or plaster.

Aluminum is used more often, due to the ease of extraction from the ground, and the fact that you can clean it with a garden hose or pressure washer.

Cement or plaster are used when accuracy is desired, but those sculptures need to be removed from the ground with hand trowels and brushes, and will likely need individual parts to be reinforced or braced to prevent breakage.

Both methods can be used to study the structure of and ant hill. But aluminum far more common for the more artistic versions of the sculpture.

You’d pick up a lot of sand… Normally you’d use a metal like aluminum. You can sandblast that clean.

But clear means epoxy. That stuff doesn’t hold up very well under sandblasting. It can be done, but expect mistakes.

It is what they plan for the rest of us. Fascism has always been a sort of “blindly obey the leader or die” sort of thing.

The second major problem is that a whole bunch of people are then killed, first for being the wrong ethnicity, or killed for having the wrong beliefs, or maybe you just live on land that some rich asshole wants to steal. These people will never even be given a chance to “obey” but will likely be told that they are being killed for disobedience. Or someone will be told.

And the lie will be believed, because it will be convenient to do so.

But Steam Boat Willie is your friend. Do whatever the fuck you want with him and his short, and as long as you don’t give him gloves, Disney can’t do a thing about it.

Ding dong ditching used to surge whenever that one episode of the Simpsons played.

Because kids will be kids.

The injuries and deaths seem more linked to adults losing their God damn minds watching Fox News

Sadly there were Nazis in the US government before and during WW2.

The Dullas brothers are the prime examples. They spearheaded operation paperclip, which rescued Nazi scientists and moved them to the US.

The Dullas brothers are the reason why the US loved arming South American dictators from the 50s onward.

They also pulled a Japanese war criminal out of prison and put him in power in post war Japan.

Maybe combine the first and third panels?

Or the second and third. Either way would work.

Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.

That’s how you see a spike in birth rates.

To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.

See, easy.

See my first sentence.

If that embyo goop isn’t your property, it should be.

And if you’ve broken into the fertility clinic, that’s definitely a crime.

Lenin, betrayed the revolution after losing an election to actual communists and then wrote about how betraying the revolution and stamping out those pesky communists is fundamental to communism. Somehow.

You can say that was mostly the Romans. If you needed a calendar fucked up, they were the ones to do it.

Except for a select few movies, there’s no continuity in the James Bond franchise.

Marvel wanted a sandbox to play in with established and maintained continuity, that’s what a cinematic universe is. The main problem is that they’re not following up on the continuity, or rather not letting the world actually change.

I live dangerously with my fully up to date Arch box.

But I also have an LTS Ubuntu box that’s been humming away in the background for about the last five-ish years? Just a quiet little file server, doing its job and being ignored.

It was a wonderful experiment. And it showed what you can do with tight continuity control… But it was a bit too grimdark. Heroes need to be allowed to act like heroes, even when it’s hard.

The Ultimates universe felt like all the big names were slowly drifting towards evil.

You’re right, but I can still fight you if you want, say we meet at the park near sundown?

I’ll even let you get the first hit in, I’ll be walking around, and you can just run up and punch me.
