There's about 25 blimps in the world, and only 40-50 pilots.

I remember finding a sewage line with around 12 pinhole leaks in it that was basically right next to a major river. Turns out the last time it was inspected was 15 years ago. I'm just amazed it didn't blow out during that time. The private sector sure showing efficiency.

I don't know why, but i keep having conversations with people that turn to the ukraine conflict. I guess it's because i have a reputation for knowing what's going on around the world (largely thanks to you beautiful folks lea-finger-guns). But it's incredible the amount of ignorance people have about history, geography, and political realities. I guess i can't blame them, as they likely have other, more serious concerns than reading a dozen books or staring at an rss feed, but man, i love the news crew. You guys keep me informed and on top of things, and the more i read, the more i feel i can give opinions on things.

Also, i ran into an actual nafo guy at work, and when he brought up the ukraine conflict, i didn't want to stay and debate him, so i just told him that Galicia belongs to the poles and left.

They get their opinions straight from the white house and brussels.

You know, thinking about it, i don't think i have even seen a self-described "socialist" even bring up theorists or figureheads that they say influenced them. At most, it'll be something like "someone told me they read Chomsky and they gave a quote that sounded pretty good" or "Bernie/AOC/The Squad say some pretty good things and i agree with them". I don't think i've ever seen someone talk about Kautsky or Bernstein or any of the other reformists.

Park Dietz coined the term "family annihilator" in 1986, but i can't find the paper. Here's an LA Times article from 1988 that uses it, though.

Do you think they ever explored each others bodies?
