JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.
I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)
No mention of JIS which is yet another “fuck Phillips” argument
The area formerly known as felony flats
My city has the most strip clubs per capita in the USA
Drove through there (Boring) an hour ago. It’s a cute place
I travel through Boring Oregon (just outside of Portland) who’s sister city is Dull, so I guess that’s me
A friend of mine bought a house for $40k under market because a murder suicide happened there the year before.
He said, “that sucks, but it’s not like I knew them or anything”
These… weren’t Brian’s books
Messiah is good
Children is decent but spotty
God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.
The last couple are kind of meandering and forgettable.
The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer as poppa Herbert
The legends books are garbage
The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.
I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome
Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens
So the article (from 2 presidential administration’s ago) details someone who wouldn’t accept male Indian interns due to the country’s reputation. It does nothing to debunk the argument that rape is not an endemic problem in India, just that some shithead German professor threw the baby out with the bathwater. Okay, fine. We can get #NotAllIndians trending even tho I’m pointing out that it’s a cultural issue, not a race thing like you keep trying to shoehorn into this discussion.
By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality? Cool. That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it
Anyhow, I’m also not going to travel to the horn of Africa, chunks of the middle east, North Korea, Belarus or Gary Indiana for that matter. I’m just too closed minded I guess.
No. I’m pretty ACAB across the board.
Every “-ism” you listed isn’t solely the dominion of white folks. You’re sort of falling into the same mindset you’re accusing me of possessing by calling me out for saying India has a problem. The US also has a problem. Both suck and neither excuses the other, but I have firsthand accounts from femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia. As someone who is not white and has a non binary partner, you are free to eat the entirety of my brown ass
Namaste
Here’s the thing tho: it’s been “vote blue to save democracy” but the DNC is just as fucked up just without the outwardly fascist leanings. No one wants to vote for Biden, they just want to vote against Trump. It’s lose/lose and the most marginalized of us are going to get savagely fucked or slightly less fucked depending who’s voted in.
There’s no viable candidate who doesn’t want to give Isreal carte blanche to commit genocide with US backing, no one wants to address money in politics… the fucking economy is a mess for the rank and file, non owning class majority of us. If these very real issues are mentioned, suddenly it’s progressives’ fault the Trump with be president. Fuck all that. Explain why I’m supposed to be enthusiastic?
I get voting for harm reduction and by virtue of the electoral college, my presidential vote won’t matter in my state (my state has been “safe democratic” for the last half century) but when I cast my vote I will be holding my nose
Obviously the ideal number is zero and the US certainly has its share of problems, but this is reported rapes. I’m not going to paint myself as any sort of authority on the subject, but I’ve read enough stories where Indian law enforcement was complicit or unconcerned. I’d bet the actual numbers are a lot higher
If Germany invaded to set things right that would suck, but it would be amusingly ironic
They’re not really mentioning stitcher any more
Great quote, but this isn’t really a children’s movie
Strap in. It’s an election year
Bought mine in 2017. Mine is double. It makes zero sense
