Hurricane Irene and Schoharie County, NY. It’s happened before, and it’s gonna happen again.

You state that animals are expressing wants and needs, not emotions, then ask questions that can only be answered by “we don’t know”.

I’d sooner think you do not know the former, either.

My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson’s, so it all makes sense now.

I’d greatly appreciate a miraculous panacea for my rheumatoid arthritis, especially one available at turmeric’s price point. I’ve gone through a gamut of biologics that my immune system builds resistance against. Rinvoq’s doing pretty good at taking the edge off currently, but I still flare up if triggered. It’s also running a $6,000 wholesale a month… thank [deity] for insurance and copay assistance.

Delicious food is great, but alleviating my pain and fatigue during an RA flare? Manna from heaven.

_prick /prĭk/ noun

… A small, sharp, local pain, such as that made by a needle or bee sting … A pointed object, such as an ice pick, goad, or thorn. _

Suppose calling men bees is more polite than calling them pricks…

I’ve got several years of experience riding motorcycles. It’s taught me to read traffic. I see a gap in a line of traffic like that, it’s either a driver who’s smart enough not to block an intersection (rare), or someone letting another someone out.

Your boy’s chances are slimmer than your account’s age.

Gonna need to put more effort in beyond kindergarten name calling if you’re going to want an actual debate.

By your logic, Israel’s government is just as culpable: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

The IDF claims that the children would have been Hamas operatives, on account of who their parents were. It’s not hard to extend that reasoning to the grandchildren. After all, their parents were likely to be Hamas operatives as well.

No judge, no jury, just an executioner, based solely upon the IDFs word that they’re likely to become future terrorists. One might apply that same logic to the whole of Palestine.

No, I think I read you perfectly.

If your society is content with murdering children based on your belief of what they will grow up to be, it’s not a society I’d be comfortable being part of, associating with, or existing alongside.

May you be judged accordingly.

Protests typically do not involve attempting to bash in interior windows, gaining access beyond barricaded doors, and armed officers having to resort to lethal measures to stop allegedly protestors.

Attempted insurrections do.

Got anything other than your precious feelings to back that statement up, snowflake?

Very much the point. Building a boat is labor intensive. The materials are relatively inexpensive, compared to the time invested in building. The person selling that used Pocketship was likely the builder, and sees value in their time spent building it.

That ~50 year old Westerly? That labor is long gone. The previous owner did invest his time in a partial refit, but relinquished his interest when he stopped paying storage fees and let a lien be placed on it. The club has no time invested, just the lost storage fees, but would rather minimize future loss; an abandoned boat takes up space that would otherwise be generating revenue for them. The club members (nearly all power boaters) see little value in the boat itself. Any revenue gained from scrapping it would likely exceed the cost to scrap the fiberglass hull (again, a labor intensive process).

She really is a cool boat, though. I’m having a great time completing the refit, and I don’t see my labor invested as lost when I’m enjoying the process as much as I am.

Boats are weird. I’ve looked at buying kit from CLC to build a 15’ Pocketship: about $12,000 US. Buying a used one, a couple years old? $15k.

Meanwhile, my local yacht club had a 26’ 1969 Westerly Centaur one step away from being crushed. Prior owner stopped paying storage fees and refused further contact, so the club put a lien on it. I picked it up cheap, $500. Nobody bothered cutting the lock off the companionway; it was chock full of tools and supplies the prior owner was using to refit it.

I’ve dropped some cash into finishing the refit, but nowhere near what I would have spent on a 15’ Pocketship, and I’ve got a much more capable boat. There are deals out there.

Took a look myself: those are the “price per month” financed. The asking price is still a $1,000 an acre or more.

Might want to spend more than a minute searching.

The effluent filling up the leach field, then the tank, then the house, due to the surrounding clay preventing it from draining quickly enough.

They’re not supposed to answer to the DOJ.

Seems that whenever Trump is involved, a lot of things that aren’t supposed to happen keep happening.

I doubt you’ll get a response. You’ve made your position clear in your statement: any actrocities referenced will be declared an act by a terror group outside the norm.
