If you live on North America, you can assemble this kit for less money than Nintendo Switch 2, which I think is basically a less good Steam Deck. Why is it so much bulkier than Switch 1? Ugh!

Anyway:

3a Vest This is slightly visible under a buttoned blouse, but most people don't clock it. It is invisible under a light jacket 🥶 . This will give you an appropriate amount of protection at most American MCEs and police riots. D&D 3.5 AC 14. $240 USD.

Rescue Gloves These aren't my favs but these are good and they are in stock. These kind of gloves are good for basically any emergency, and also normal camping. $44

French Tough Guy Helmet This bad boy will keep your head on pretty good. It's not the newest, best helmet tech. But it is a steel helmet with a decent strap and liner for $49. (They are in stock at the shops and get back in stock online often.)

Ze Goggles! Doesn't have to be this pair, but this is what you're looking for. Impact resistant. $12 ain't bad but you can shop around based on your eyewear situation.

Ugly Earplugs Just like the ones at work, if you have ever worked somewhere OSHA compliant. See how they got Db -25 or whatever? That or better if you think somebody is going to be shooting near you, or setting off fireworks near you. -25 will not stop sonic weapons, mind you. $8.

With shipping this wipes the budgie. But now, look at all the REAL WORLD SITUATIONS you are equipped to more likely survive:

• American school
• American festivals
• concerts in America
• meeting Americans
• going to an appointment in America
• if you are on a boat that is disliked by America's creepy allies
• camping

Also smart stop the bleed

fuckin' switch 2, whys it so spensive

Money gets created in the USD economy all the time, whether by invented debt, cash printing, or the issuance of bonds. Does that money actually represent wealth? Does the USD economy actually contribute anything of value?

So let's say you wanted to permanently remove value from the USD economy for some reason. What's the most effective and impactful way to "burn money?" Not spend it. Not acquire it. Destroy it, with the goal of taking that value out of the economy.

Burning/ shredding physical cash seems really inefficient. Maybe the answer lies in devaluing real estate?

This is all hypothetical so assume whatever resources or labor you want.

It seems like every translation, I end up agreeing with him more

yeah i know CSS, that's the copypasta link you go to in the comments

Seriously, nobody needs more fucking Trump spam on this or any website. Stop making these shitty subs to slip your slave colony demagogue bullshit into people's TLs. Fuck off and 🪫 him already.

All thems are in the chat in some way or the other, and inasmuch as you deal discreetly with your chat, so deal with God’s chat too, the rest of the world's chat.

Denk dir vor, ein totaler Trottel aus den Kolonien, der wie mit Papierfliegern hektisch Memes auf Magdeburg schleudert. 🥴

The sun lazily passes over a half buried "Chief Wahoo" bobble-head sticking out of the mud. Black vultures harass a starving feral dog on the ruins of a parking garage. Every dead community with a Walmart at ground zero, discarded plastic bags rotting in the bleak light is what you get instead of a future. What the fuck did you expect? Your culture never belonged here and your time here was wasted.

So now that the USA Navy is deploying underwater F/A-18 Super Hornet Battle Combat Ace Knight Super-D/X Series Mega Jets, how should we expect the situation in the Red Sea / Yemen conflict to develop? I understand that this is a situational deployment and usually planes like air, but obviously this is strategic. With the enemy deploying tactics like visiting their girlfriends at civilian apartments where they live, can we expect a water-to-civilian-land combat solution on the horizon?

The endangered little tern has experienced one of its best recorded breeding seasons across New South Wales, sparking hope among conservationists.

Each spring, the small seabirds migrate thousands of kilometres across the ocean from East and South-east Asia to nest on Australian shores.

They lay eggs directly on the sand where they are so well camouflaged they become almost invisible, making them vulnerable to beach visitors and cars.

They are also at risk from predators, flooding and, adverse weather conditions.

For the past 25 years, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has been involved in trying to conserve and monitor the species.

The NPWS said since 2019 the breeding population had more than doubled...[story continues]

Wow these sure are some cute birds whomst I am glad are rebounding. (Surely this makes up for grumping on the beagles story...)
