  1. So assuming the support for Hamas was lower before October 7th, killing, raping and kidnaping Jews bolstered their support with Palestinian civilians. Do you see that as a good thing?
  2. I like this (I think) Victor Davis Hanson Quote: “Accordingly, Jews and Israel now supposedly enjoy toxic white privilege. They are libeled as veritable white supremacists illegitimately in the Middle East to colonize “Palestine,” and as European imperialists picking up the mantle of the earlier 19th century British and French—as if a prior 400 years of Ottoman imperialism in the Middle East never occurred.”
  3. Here's one from after October 7th. What Palestinians Really Think of Hamas | Foreign Affairs From the link: How much trust do you have in the Hamas-led government? A great deal of faith: ~12% Quite a lot: ~17% Not a lot: ~23% ~52% Not at all: ~45% So less than half have no faith in the Hamas-led government. More from the link: Which party, if any, do you feel closest to? Fatah ~30% Hamas ~27% Palestinian Islamic jihad ~7% Other, ~14% No party ~15% Don't know ~7% So combined, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad parties are the largest voting bloc in Palestine, and both are terrorist groups, and both want to exterminate all the Jews in Israel, after raping many of them.
  4. Saw "Blue Giant" today with the wife and kid and loved it. Japanese animated music drama. Unfortunately, it was the Thai dubbed version. Going to see it again tomorrow in the original Japanese with English and Thai subtitles. Generally, not a fan of animated stuff, but I liked this. Blue Giant (2023) - IMDb
  5. Actually, Trump did quite a lot to close the border, and the left fought him every step of the way. Now the border is wide open, and the only thing the left wants it money to let them in faster.
  6. I doubt it will have a significant negative impact with anyone that might vote for Trump anyway. To be clear, I do not see Trump winning the election.
  7. Are suburban moms typically big Trump supporters?
  8. Good news that Tires are pretty competitive, if someone knew how to make significantly better tires and still be able to sell them, they would. Yeah, I used to have a little car back in the '90s. I got a set of four at Pep Boys mounted for $59
  9. Only if people believe it. I do not believe he raped her.
  10. Do you think the McDonald's burgers in the US look like the photos? I find the McDonald's stuff in Thailand looks better than the stuff in the US.
  11. The restaurant's photo the OP posted looks like only two ribs to me. That said, the actual meal does not look very appetizing.
  12. So how do the tires look? Not an engineer then? No one is knocking your precious MG, we were just discussing why they might be burning through tires so quickly. The last tires i bought were B33,159, The tires they replaced lasted 56.500km, so tires should cost about B0.59/km At B29.00/liter, fuel costs ~B2.75/liter So tire cost is about 21% of fuel cost, which is not insignificant.
  13. Interesting article. From the link: "The tire manufacturer Michelin said conventional tires on electric vehicles consume tires 20 percent faster than on a gas-powered car — a figure commonly cited by EV makers as well — but Goodyear also has said they could wear up to 50 percent faster. Automakers and the tire industry are working on improvements." Also talks about some of the reasons, and they seem to make sense. How many kms do you guys have on your EVs?
  14. That's why I quit buying them. A little butter, cinnamon, sugar, five-ten minutes in the oven and it's snack time. Roll up a couple sausages, ten minutes in the oven and it's lunch time.
  15. The tire wear thing seems like BS to me. Will they do burn-offs? If a car has all-wheel drive and people are punching it, it will not take long to burn through a set of tires. I don't think I've gotten less than 60,000km out of a set of tires in the last 30 years.
  16. No, some of the dumbash EU countries do it. None of them care about their own poor.
  17. Really? Since the kid left for school, we don't really watch anything together at home, but she likes the movies and since we got the annual passes, she wants to go all the time. Once in a while I'll watch a movie while she shops.
  18. It's inappropriate, childish and I do not like it, but it's not misogynistic. It's nonbinary, like nitwit. Are you British? People in the US generally do not refer to women as birds.
  19. Where did you stay?
  20. Gone the next day. It was like, here's a bottle of water and a vegan protein bar, hit the ramp tramp. But in Chicago, your kids have to stay home from school, so the illegals have someplace to stay.
  21. Did you like "The Beekeeper"?
