I like that name a lot

I’ve been learning Dutch, since the Netherlands seems like a nice place to go if I ever have to flee the US. Thinking about joining some Dutch communities here so I can get more “natural” language exposure.

Your Character Here, usually used to show that you can commission an artist to draw your character in that pose

Or the fact that it’s, y’know, a metal

I’d heard that story before, had no idea it was a drag bar

Maybe he was an SCP

That’s what everyone was saying in 2024.

When my truck’s clutch cylinder blew, I managed to limp it to the shop just by rev-matching and slipping it into each gear. I couldn’t stop without stalling, so I definitely blew a couple stop signs, but I made it.

Thanks! I keep seeing these videos of Russians trying to run, shoot them, swat them away like bees, always to no avail. I was wondering whether any of them had been smart enough to surrender.

Well, childhood mystery solved. When I was younger, my family went to France to visit some relatives. One of the dishes we were served was a salad, and my mom told me it was called pee-the-bed salad. I was so confused and was terrified that I was going to wet my bed that night after eating it. I didn’t, but I had been wondering ever since then what it could have been and why it was called that.

Even just an “early aviation” flight sim would be great. I recently went down a rabbit hole researching how US air mail worked in the 20s and 30s, before cockpit radios were really a thing. They constructed thousands of giant lighted beacon towers and concrete arrows on the ground to help pilots navigate.
