“people familiar with the planning”…so the FSB?

But didn’t Putin say the sanctions were not having an effect? LOL

A minority that could cheat its way into governance in 2 years. Vote, FFS

15 years, 150K comment karma, shadowbanned across reddit for no reason.

If you get welted shoes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9xSnu69Qtg) where the sole is mated to the upper - so if the sole wears out, then you can bring it to the cobbler to get a new sole. And they don’t have to be expensive either - look for used shoes on ebay.

The best way to f*ck Spez is to leave Reddit and just ignore them. Buh bye IPO payday!!!

Look into various planar headphones - they are well known for producing good bass

Reddit is using it as a honeypot to attract the upset users, so that they can swing the banhammer.

The monologue by Michael Nyqvist, where he talks about John Wick to his son. The background music is perfectly synced to the action and leads perfectly to the climax.

RES’s ignore user/subreddit function was really useful. Took out 95% of the trash on /r/all

This scene from John Wick 1, where he’s introduced by Michael Nyqvist. Listen to the background music and how it matches the action and builds up to the end of the scene.

I had deep fried grasshoppers in Mexico. Just imagine eating a handful of popcorn with some peanuts. Same texture, more or less same taste. I did finish the plate and did not gag at all. I would’t go out of my way to order it, but I wouldn’t say no if it was offered again.

On the same trip, I tried a live beetle and OMG, it was disgusting beyond belief. Just think some awful chemical taste. Unfortunately that’s the reality for some desperately poor people in less developed nations.

No warning - just burn 15 years of membership? Screw them.

I wonder if you built a bonfire of $100 dollar bills, how tall would $44 billion look like?

“users” - more than 50% are likely to be bots, LOL

I always feel Scrubs is worth rewatching.

There are 2 types of mines: open pit and underground (tunnels, etc). Open pit: they dynamite certain areas, then get big trucks to haul the rubble. They keep going until all of the minerals have been extracted. Example: nickel mines in Cuba. IMO, not very dangerous as long as safety precautions are followed. There is some risk that the walls of the open pit mine might collapse.

Underground: this is the type of mining with real danger. Anytime you hear of a mining incident, it’s likely to be underground. They do take a LOT of precautions which is why modern mining is a lot safer compared to 80 years ago. The ever present danger is collapse of the tunnel or formation.
