Seeking shelter in a car would have been appropriate
Of course, you are assuming that he was rich enough to actually own a car.

If you would prefer the bombings to stop then it will once either the terrorists are killed or they surrender and return the innocent civilian hostages who are most likely being raped and tortured on a daily basis by their captors. Why is it do you think that neighbouring muslim countries have not opened their doors so that the "innocent" Palestinians can take refuge there?
And who should define who is a terrorist and who is a freedom fighter?
You?

And leave the terrorists on their doorstep to plan and carry out more rapes, murders, kidnappings and mutilations of innocent Jews? Do you really hate the Jews so much that you do not wish them to be able to defend themselves from these kind of atrocities?
And who will defend the innocent Palestinians from Israel and the IDF?

So it is sad when 1,200 people were murdered.
But the Israeli response is to murder over 42,000 Palestinian men, women, children and babies seems to be OK with you, along with injuring over 100,000 Palestinian men, women, children and babies, invading Gaza and destroying the infrastructure, starving the population, withholding food, water and medical supplies, stealing land and houses,
Invading not only Gaza, but the West Bank of what used to be Jordan and the Lebanon, Syria, attacking Iranian consulates in other countries and killing people is OK for you.
FYI I don't hate the Jews as a people, but I DO hate their PM, the warmongering government and its cabinet as well as the Palestinian leadership. BOTH have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Both leaderships IMHO should be arrested, put up against a wall and publicly executed on live TV and video.

I agree that women are not equal to men.
IMHO women are far superior in every way and in every type of job with the one exception of a job that requires the strength that men have more than women.
Fortunately jobs like that are disappearing.

Where will you buy petrol in 2054 ?
I really don't think that will be a problem for me, as in 2054 I would be 110 years old and my wife would be 90.

BTW, if we all did what you suggest there wouldn't be any need for World News sub forum.

Hamas can stop the killing right now, today, by returning the hostages and surrendering. Why is it on Isreal to stop when they were the ones who had people raped, maimed, butchered in cold blood? Do you really hate Jews that much you don't want them to be able to defend themselves against the terrorists on their doorsteps? If the Palestinians are all so innocent why is it do you think the neighbouring muslim countries are not opening their doors and welcoming them into their countries?
Israel can stop the death and destruction today as well. All THEY need to do is get rid of Netanyahu and his murderous war cabinet, stop invading other countries and agree to a peace deal.

They are generally lazy and too emotional. And lack the intellect to handle large sums of money or problem solve.
There has been a few in the past in some countries. It has always been a complete disaster.
They should be banned.
What a load of cobblers and almost as bad as the OP.
BTW OP. Is your god catholic, protestant, CSFC, Russian orthodox, Greek orthodox or any other brand of so called christian religion?
Why do you believe that your god is more important than any of the other hundreds and thousands available to worship?

Since WW2 how many things has the US government got right ( of both parties )?
Beats me.
It would.
You could make a start with rebuilding West Germany, the European countries and Japan. then you could move on to defending South Korea from China and Russia and move on from there.
If you need a history lesson from there, start doing your own research, as most people do.

Just now, ravip said:Absolutely useless at hunting anything though - Your Wife is feeding her too much!
A social cat when she wants to be, or when she is hungry -Well, I guess most cats are that.
I had a male cat (a stray) who enjoyed petting. After about an year, the fellow disappeared in to thin air!
Actually, as I get up before my wife, I have ended up feeding the cat in the morning.

Did I get it wrong? If she had followed the common sense approach of slowing down at junctions and looking out for traffic that is emerging into the road you are travelling on, would she not be more likely to have survived?
And if the concrete truck driver had stopped, BEFORE making a U turn, (as he should have done), she would still be alive.
She had the right of way, HE didn't.
Nor does it appear that he even bothered to slow down.

Our cat is a female stray that turned up one evening and adopted us.
My wife started feeding it and she has never moved out.

If you can point the beam at their roost, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
We are owned by a cat but the beasties are well out of her reach, actual rats however are a different kettle of fish 🙂
I should be able to get them as they fly out of my MIL old place onto the roof of our house.

Went right over your head, didn't it?
If the article was published on 9th of October, how many months are there before the election?
No it didn't go right over my head. 9th of October is actually today and it would have been posted this morning UK time.
It seems to me that you are making wilder claims just lately that few posters agree with. You used to make sensible posts, but no longer.

WARNING Lasers of the type indicated here can cause permanent eye damage. Common sense is required and no pointing at aircraft (they are not big silver birds), people or pets. Use the regular red pointers to amuse/annoy the cat.
Anyway.
A few weeks back Madam was moaning to the builder's merchant that pigeons roosting on our gable-end are, er, depositing on the patio roof which now has solar panels which really don't like pigeon poop.
He told her to use a laser pointer! Hmm.
A bit of research showed that laser bird scarers really are a thing. Apparently, the birds perceive the beam as a solid object and avoid it, no actual contact with the creatures and certainly not in their eyes, that would be unethical (even with pigeons). Green is the colour of choice for birds.
Commercial units are not exactly low-cost of course so it was time to do some shopping.
I ordered the most powerful, green "laser pointer" I spotted on Lazada. "3W" it says unlike your normal pointer of about 3mW!!
https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i265013902-s411903063.html
The beast that arrived would not look out of place in the hands of Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi or Yoda!! Apparently green lightsabers are wielded by Jedi warriors.
It does come with diffusers to make pretty patterns, these are still in their plastic bag
Charged the supplied 18640 Li-Ion battery on the supplied charger, time to test.
I checked the input power and I reckon the laser is nearer to 2W but so what!
It works like a charm, the birds see the beam coming and scatter, no need to actually hit them so no smell of barbecued pigeon. Walk around the house aiming towards the beasts a couple of times and they don't come back.
After a week of use at dusk when they are seeking somewhere to roost, we are now down to one or two each evening, Madam encourages them to leave (she's evidently got an evil streak).
It works at long range (commercial units of similar power claim several km), aimed at the next house over (100m or so) and their pigeons scattered too.
I wonder if that will work for me.
A few of the rats with wings seem to live above the ceiling of my MIL old house and they are certainly not scared of the cats we had.

yes you are right! i had an ice car and the engine failed and I was done ...
Yet my clunky old 2001 Ford Ranger diesel ICE is still clunking away nearly 23 years later with 472,xxx km on the clock with the original engine and transmission. I have gone through about 5 batteries though. They only cost about 3,xxx baht each to replace.

Local weather can be controllable to a certain extent - cloud "seeding" to (induce rain) has been done by the RTAF here for decades.
But control of hurricanes? No.
Sad response because the links fail to support both MTG and you. If you are refuting the links, why not add your own links explaining WHY those links are weak.
Or are you denying that she actually said that?

What a good idea.
Putting some of the blame on the innocent victim who actually had the right of way, instead of ALL the blame on the cement truck driver, who should have stopped and waited at the U turn.

No ground cables on power lines, only power.
Rip.
If there are no ground cable on power lines please explain why there is a third cable running on top of the 240 volt PEA supply running along the route 1117 outside the house. If it is not a ground cable then what is it for?
