Phew. The small size, combined with other people surmising it might be part of a refrigerator greatly alleviates my worries you might have picked up a piece of unexploded munitions from WW2. Which is an all too common thing over here in Germany.

Sorry, in case that was unclear: These are predictions, not opinions.

Whelp. This is the party that lost against Trump in 2016 by shafting Bernie. These Democrats deserve to lose the election but as usual, the consequences will be suffered by the common people. So one cannot even gloat over them losing a safe bet again.

And downright shallow as well!

No, America the Beautiful would never force citizens of foreign descent into camps! Certainly not on account of racism! And not in the hundreds of thousands!

One of the greatest films of all time. The scene with the one-way mirror is pure cinematographic genius.

But to be honest, it took me a while to appreciate it due to its slow pacing and initial dearth of exposition (or dialogue overall). 18-year old me hated this "slow-ass, boring movie". 😅

Dave the Diver and Dredge come to mind.

Aren't the LAV and Stryker based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha?

Prevent predation? Seems like the orcas didn't get the memo.

The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster disagree with you. Yes, the primary meaning of the word fly is moving through the air on wings, but they explicitly say space travel can also be called flying. Also this was about the man flying through space, not the craft.

Push him from a spaceship and he will fly even longer.
