To be fair, it is the united ´states´, not the united ´people living on the continent´. It wouldn’t be any more fair if California was making the decisions for 20 other states, just because they happen to have a crap load of people. The federal government is kind of supposed to be making decisions and maintaining things between states, not all these decisions affecting the people so directly.

I know it's going to last a long time because the old lady said they used it everyday and it still looks practically new

I agree, but I'm the spirit of the question, do you work in a corporate environment?

For sure, anyone who has seen some of the videos of drink carts and luggage bouncing off the cabin ceilings during crazy turbulence shouldn't have any questions about the utility of seatbelts in less than catastrophic events.... Which of course is the goal even in 'crash' landings. There are crashes where seatbelts would obviously be worthless, but in anything short of that, you'll be happy that you weren't in a box with 300 human shaped dice being shaken up.

Basically 'duty cycle'....same reason electric heaters all put out 1500W but ones for larger rooms are 'larger'. Big or small, they both put out 1500W, but the small ones can only do it for a few minutes at a time before having to cool off, while the larger ones can run for longer and heat up a big room more quickly.

Imagine that actually goes through and one of the Republicans actually gets a conscience and falls on his sword and throws in for Kamala.

Also a separation so the smell can't be directly attributed to him.

If it makes it any easier, those hundreds of millions of people are going to die anyway, the only tragedy about it is that it's from something we could technically prevent or mitigate, but most things are like that... Traffic, smoking, guns, unhealthy diet... The climate changing isnt really going to affect the earth, our short sightedness and ignorance will just make lots of areas we can comfortable live in now much less comfortable or unlivable entirely. It's going to suck, but do what you can with what you have and just the fact that you know enough to care means you have something to offer.

Not that there isn't a lot of creepiness going on with this in general, but it wouldn't be crazy to remodel without emptying a freezer. Assuming they weren't on top of the rest of the food, stuff in the bottom of a freezer can easily be overlooked for years

Are you that roommate? Or are you saying he tried to set it for 30 seconds?

Hey, where's all the water going all of the sudden?

This picture of the apparent tornado, with alleged clouds and, i guess, some type of 'land' was captured with what has been reported to be a camera of some sort.
