Is that not the same logically in every language?

Genuine question, did you mean that to be opposite? That is, it looks like a prowler?

I'm looking at photos of the aeromax compared to the PT cruiser and the prowler. It doesn't look anything like a PT cruiser to me, whereas it does have the same body style as a prowler. That being a long front/hood and the cabin towards the rear.

Unless there are some design features not noticing.

Not being in California is not a reason you wouldn't know it.

If you ever looked up the history of beer in the US or US beer styles you would know it. All the people in the craft beer industry certainly do. Maybe the craft beer drinkers in parts of the country don't know it but Steam/California Common is one of the few original US beer styles. And Anchor was one of the first in the modern craft beer revolution.

No, he was obviously not a "shill". I'm not sure where you are getting that from. He is clearly a troubled young man.

I'm not sure what "Eglin AFB shill" means.

No. Perhaps the ability to follow orders and open to killing enemies if necessary.

Not people that talk about, or implying, massacre of civilans and their own countrymen.

Anyway this guy is an airman in IT, not a soldier. Not really someone that would necessarily need an aggressive tendencies anyway.

Ah that's not true about beer in the US at all. I also don't particularly like IPAs and have no problem at the local breweries.

I'll grant that there was a time when a lot of places were IPA heavy but they basically always had a few other styles.

Now every brewery around me is really varied. They might have a couple types of IPAs but all have another 6 or 10 + styles. A sour or two, such as a Belgian or American type. Often a berlinerweisse. Some brown/stout/porter types. Not just oatmeal stout. And even different lager types besides "lager". I see Helles and bock, Vienna, pilsner, everywhere. A rauchbier at one place.

I've never really had to look at the IPAs in years.

To sun it up from the NYTimes article posted below, Oklahoma does in fact have legal medical marijuana. In addition it apparently has pretty lax regulations compared to other states on growing. Basically little limit on how many farms are allowed, how much they can grow, etc. And apparently pretty low startup costs (I assume license fees and all that are low).

No, certainly not. Gambling is banned on US aircraft.

They are talking about RyanAir, which is an Irish carrier that flys all over Europe and offers scratch card gambling. Swissair also offered gambling via video screens for a period of time.

I remember reading Canticle and thinking, "this feels just like Fallout" at various parts.

One question, is City of Lost Children the French movie by Jeunet or something else?

Tramadol is the opiate itself, it does not have paracetamol. There are other brand pills that contain both.

Paracetamol does not contain an opiate. It is a different substance from opiates. It is, however, dangerous to the liver in large amounts.

Except that Musk can't legally be president.

That's not true. Sure there are a lot of men that want a traditional wife to take care of the house, etc. But I'm not sure they are the majority of men in 2022. Lots of men out there certainly don't want or care if their wife is a homemaker. I, personally, and many people I know aren't particularly interested in that sort of wife and would prefer a "partner" that that has her own professional and personal life and goals equal to us.

Drugs lead to delinquency (crime) and madness. Depending on your view that is what some might say drugs do.

Since the OP said they had to block chess because of phone addiction, the joke is just replacing drug addiction with chess. Chess (drugs addiction) leads to delinquency and madness.

Seafood is a main source of glucosamine so shouldn't it be "as long as you DO eat seafood your risk is low"?

I guess saying cathedral is more impressive than saying a guy built a church, albeit big or fancy.

Same with the also mentioned Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I've often seen it referred to as a cathedral but it is just a large church. The actual cathedral in Barcelona is elsewhere. Although now it is deemed a basilica, which I understand is generally just a very special and honored church.

Many of the crops grown in Arizona and southern California such as lettuce and spinach are grown there to supply the country during the winter season.

Michigan couldn't replace that during the winter. So it's more of an issue that we would have to decide to only eat vegetables seasonally. No green leafs in winter. Or build vast greenhouses I suppose.

I'm very skeptical that an Australian in a foreign residential compound was decapitated for that. I can't find anything with Google. Isn't alcohol allowed for foreigners in those places? Do you know anymore that you can tell us?

I could see a Saudi Arabian being executed but as other people said it's not a capital offense.

Well I'll provide some thoughts and speculation based on my reading.

The high migration/immigration rates in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah in the late 1800s is relative. There was such a small amount of people that it was easy to have a large percentage from out of the US.

Who was immigrating there? Well one group was the Mormons. Apparently the Mormons were successful early on recruiting in Britain and those people migrated to the US and directly to Utah. Later that flowed over into Nevada and Arizona.

Also early on in these western territories, many people were probably going there to mine which may have attracted overseas people directly, not so concerned with green fertile land.

Final thought. The people immigrating from Britain and Ireland were looking for land. They probably had little idea what the southwest US was like except they had been told that there was lots of land available. When they got there it was totally different but there was land and water. Also many may have been going to California but stopped on the way for various reasons.

Edit: also those states are known for their population in deserts but they do have a lot of non deserts: forest,grassland, etc. And many early settlers stopped in those areas before geographic forces started the big desert settlements.

I don't understand why people keep saying Lake Mead when referring to water use. Technically the CAP canal come from Lake Havasu. But it's all from the Colorado River.

Regardless it's not the primary source of water. The majority of water for the Phoenix area comes from central Arizona rivers. The Salt river project, the Salt river and Verde, etc. You can see the big reservoirs to the east of Phoenix and from groundwater.

They have everything to do with the operation and mission of the spacecraft.

They will do as much as NASA astronauts do on dragon spacecraft.

I understand the point that the word astronaut is reserved for highly trained individuals working for NASA, but the rants about it I keep seeing online on various forums are just so mean spirited for some reason. Calling them payload, seriously?

Thank you, Elon and Axiom Space.

For clarification. This flight is not operated by Axiom Space. The commander, Jason Isaacman, purchased the flight directly from SpaceX.

Axiom Space's first mission will be in January 2022.

I just found a blog where the author explains that its actually a myth and mostly coincidental. The reason the skyscrapers are in midtown and downtown was due to historical and economic reasons. Those were the dense wealthy business areas where people wanted and needed to build taller buildings and it turned out they also had the shallowest bedrock.

They also said the shallow bedrock didn't force them to stay there. It isn't much of a problem to drill deeper and a number of early skyscrapers were built elsewhere... It's just that people wanted their skyscrapers to be in midtown and downtown.

I live and work in and around the Waymo service area. Personally I have never heard anyone express annoyance with the vehicles, so I'm not sure where it's coming from. Driving I've never noticed them to affect me in any way.

Only one example I remember. I was going down a residential street to a midblock through street, usually I wouldn't expect any other cars. I pull up and find my self 6 cars back behind a Waymo to turn. And waited. The Waymo would just not turn whereas all the humans would have. The street has relatively constant traffic.

The only thing I can think of is that people are annoyed by them going the speed limit. Some streets in Chandler are 45 and I swear everyone is trying to go 60, so I suppose people that people that want to be going well over all the time get mad if they are stuck behind a Waymo. In Tempe the traffic tends to seem slower and more controlled so possibly they aren't as bothered by it.

Wow, that is a classic example of an "internet researcher" who read some articles and then told the people trying to correct to "do research."

I just looked up this story and the apes in question were regular eastern chimps with some regional variation. They've been studied for nearly two decades. The whole 6 foot lion killer thing was a few sensationalized articles from 2003 or 2004 due to a member of the research group making excited claims. The member wasnt even a primatologist and was kicked out.

Joe Rogan's research was literally some popular articles from a decade and a half ago... And he dares tell the person on the phone they aren't "current" and to do research.

By Americans he means the locals. The (Latin) Americans.

"First of all, his name was "Drăculea", Dracula doesn't mean anything in Romanian."

That's not a mistake. Vlad Dracula is just the historical Anglicized form of the name. In the same way we say Rome for Roma and Pope Francis for Papa Francesco / Franciscus.

Good luck to you!

Well you believed that story.

I think it could be the trunk of the agave. I just looked at pictures of agaves and some have short palm like trunks that the leaves come off of at the top instead of being right on the ground like you usually see with the aloe and agave type succulents.

The trunk looks about the same size as the photos of the food object.

The agave sisalana wiki article shows it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisal

I Just looked up photos of agave sisalana and it actually has a palm like trunk/stem about the size of what is shown being served.

Whereas the agave americana doesn't and seems to grows it's leaves right out from the ground.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisal

Edit: well I guess after looking further I shouldn't say agave americana doesn't have a trunk coming out of the ground. Probably all agaves could if they grow long enough. But it does look like this snack is the trunk of an agave.
