There was one vacant seat by a window. Nobody else who got on with me seemed interested so I politely squeezed past to get the the seat and sat down. The only problem was the fight with guy sat opposite who for some reason thought he had some God given right to stretch his legs out under the seat opposite to him.

Legs inside the bed moving with the truck, upper body dangling down close to the cab, legs slip out, head is already level with the wheel, under he goes.  Your three  are also possibilities although witnesses make no mention of the truck reversing.

Don&#x2019;t forget, his legs would be inside the truck bed and travelling with the truck, it&#x2019;s his upper body that is out and heading down.   But I&#x2019;m not an aerodynamic engineer, so as I said, I&#x2019;m guessing. It seems plausible to me.

As temperatures soar above 40 degrees Celsius, neighborhoods like Thanh Xuan Ward face nightly power cuts, leaving families struggling to cope with the sweltering heat.  Get today's headlines by email   The ongoing heatwave, which began on May 23, is the second this month for northern and central Vietnam. Many regions, including the northern delta and areas from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue, are seeing temperatures regularly exceed 38 degrees Celsius. On May 26, areas like Thanh Xuan and Tu Liem experienced multiple blackouts, forcing residents like Minh Thu to flee to cooler accommodations.  The outages result from surging electricity demands, pushing households to rely excessively on cooling devices, according to officials from Ba Dinh Power Company. Overloaded transmission lines and substations are causing the power supply to become unstable, exacerbating the issue.  Families with young children find the conditions particularly challenging. Ngoc Ha of Me Tri Ward, used a rechargeable fan to cool her two-year-old daughter, but eventually sought temporary refuge at a relative&#x2019;s home due to persistent outages. Many residents are turning to malls or apartment buildings with backup power to escape the heat.  Electricity demand peaked in northern Vietnam on May 25 and 26, with Hanoi recording a new high of 6,203 MW at 9:30 p.m. on May 25. This surpasses the previous demand record by 3.5%, and average consumption has escalated 2.4% over last year&#x2019;s peak.  With outages expected to continue, residents like Nhat Mai are left waiting for power to resume, resorting to public spaces for relief. While some find temporary refuge in parks or convenience stores, others seek cost-effective options amid the enduring high temperatures.  Join the discussion?

Judging by the US Army, many women soldiers report harassment, assault and rape and much remains unreported. It would be phenomenal, considering the age range of IDF soldiers if this did not occur in Israel&#x2019;s military.  My judgment: Karim is a misogynist liar. Is he refuting the Torah?!?]  High Court freezes IDF chief rabbi nomination over rape comments Responding to petition by Meretz MKs, court demands Col. Eyal Karim clarify his stance before assuming the post Marissa Newman: 21 November 2016 The Times of Israel: 21 Nov 2016   The current IDF Chief Rabbi, Eyal Karim, has been at the center of a long-running controversy regarding past comments about wartime rape, though he has repeatedly denied condoning the act in modern times.  While serving as a colonel, Karim responded to a question on the religious website Kipa about the Torah's perspective on rape during war.  The controversy centers on a theoretical religious ruling he wrote in 2002. Responding to a biblical question on a religious website, he discussed whether Jewish law permitted soldiers to rape non-Jewish enemy women during wartime.  He stated that to maintain soldier morale and fitness during conflict, the Torah permitted "satisfying the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will".  His comments parked fierce condemnation from Israeli politicians and women's rights organizations. Critics cited the remarks as well as past statements he made opposing women's service in the military.  The left-wing Meretz party filed a petition that led the High Court of Justice to temporarily freeze his appointment until he formally clarified his stances to the court.</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 11:34:46 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>LTR - Wealthy Pensioners</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395532-ltr-wealthy-pensioners/?do=findComment&comment=20527042]]></link><description>It was pinned for over a year.
