I used to travel to NYC a lot for work, from Europe. I didn’t need to pack a suit. I usually packed a change of underwear and a t-shirt, and laptop etc in my cabin bag. I usually bought some jeans and a few clothes which were cheaper, like brand jeans, etc. Some toiletries (the small travel sizes) when not provided by the hotel. Then I would go to Canal and buy the cheapest bag for the return.

I tape a DeWalt 18v XRP, including the battery, charger, and a bit set. Makes screwing or uncrewing easier.
- Comment on When you buy air but half the bag comes with chips 2 months ago:
When I buy chips I try to get the bag that is inflated the most for this exact reason.
OTOH, fucking Philadelphia tubs having that empty raised bottom skirt to make the tub look larger is outright fraud.

- Comment on Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult. 2 months ago:
While not denying it is one of the main factors, let’s not forget the massive, continuous and egregious ecological disregard the directed economies have, and have.

The French are hated by basically any nation that has a border with them. They fucking invented chauvinism. Wonder why?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Well, they conquered Spain by turning against them, allies up to that point, and having their army inside the country already. “The war can be said to have started when the French and Spanish armies invaded and occupied Portugal in 1807 by transiting through Spain, but it escalated in 1808 after Napoleonic France occupied Spain, which had been its ally.”
The the Spaniards handed Napoleon his ass on a platter, coining the word guerrilla.
- Comment on how to cut aluminum pipe with hardly any comments about flock cameras 2 months ago:
True. Generally applicable to most power cutting tools
- Comment on how to cut aluminum pipe with hardly any comments about flock cameras 2 months ago:
Regular cutting disks are made, at least in part, from aluminum oxide. The cut aluminum tends to bond to the disks, slowing them down, and making the disk slower.
There are specific aluminum cutting disks that don’t clog, making the cut much faster.
Just saying.

It was wordplay

Right. You are at a McDonald’s And every time someone orders a milkshake you say “wait a minute, I have to go to the back with your milkshake”
Checks out.

EU should take note.
Unless I’m in a huge hurry I’ll wait in the cashier queue, to do my tiny bit to help preserve jobs.
- Comment on Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums 3 months ago:
In my country no politicisn, from sny side of the spectrum, especially the right, would even consider touching those benefits, as the older people can be very combative over their rights. Political suicide. Hopefully Trump will anger enough of his base with this.

That hammer is not the right type of generator hammer. I looks more like a microwave hammer.

I have always thought that billboards should be one of the main political messaging tools. The FOX crowd live in a resonance chamber, but they can’t avoid driving or walking by billboards. Intelligently designed billboards can be devastating, and can’t be tuned out.

Europe’s royal shuffling is rife with things like that. Most royal families have blood ties with each other, and historically have agreed to place one of theirs on another countries throne to keep collective hold on the continent.
“The German Kaiser (Wilhelm II), Russian Czar (Nicholas II), and English King (George V) were all first cousins. Their grandmother was England’s Queen Victoria, making the English and German kings first cousins. The English and Russian kings were also first cousins, as their mothers were sisters.”

Colonialism has generally never played nice for the conquered, however, some, like the Romans, and to a certain extent the Moors, Ottomans, Spanish, and others were somewhat integrating, excesses and plunder non withstanding, and contributed to the conquered. Belgian Congo was pure evil.
I have Belgian blood, BTW.

So, because they love cricket, they can’t love basketball? Spain, which has 2 orders of magnitude less the population, is a powerhouse both in football and basketball.

There is always someone out there who finds you attractive.
It may take more tries to find than average, but once (and this is key), you understand that rejection is thoroughly harmless, you will find one of these.
