Bikes or motorbikes can also bypass unexpected obstacles. If your APC is rolling down the road and there's a tree fall you most likely need to stop your vehicle and get out and clear it. Bikes or motorbikes may not even need to slow down, just bypass the obstacle entirely. Think of that scene in Children of Men with the fallen tree and the flaming car rolled down the hill, that ambush relied entirely on stopping the target, but probably wouldn't have worked as well on a group of bikers.
My career hasn't changed much since the 1700s, I'm a winemaker. Our company doesn't have a vineyard we buy grapes from farmers, so our winery is in the city not some villa on the hill. At first glance our warehouse full of barrels is pretty similar to an old school winery. I could show my counterpart advances we have made in automation, like our bottling line or the giant industrial press, and I bet they'd get a kick out of moving stacks of barrels or fermentation tanks with a forklift. Using food grade plastic instead of wood makes cleaning easier, and our pump is electric not hand driven, but ultimately little has changed. Our wine lab is pretty high tech and probably the main exception, I dont think they tested for things like acidity and sulfur levels until the industrial revolution. I was literally just talking about this yesterday with my coworker. We had the bottling line out in the yard and we were sanitizing it by pumping boiling water through it with a diesel powered compressor. My contemporary may not understand sanitizing, or the equipment we used to do it, but he would easily understand the bottler and the importance of keeping it clean. I would love to share a few bottles of modern wine with a pre industrial master and vice versa.

Sumatran Orangutans also use hand tools while Orangutans from Borneo do not.
You can dehydrate yourself by drinking too much water. You flush the salts out of your system and get water poisoning and die of dehydration anyway.
Can't believe I don't see Gremlins anywhere here! The first one is inarguably a Christmas movie.
Maybe not quite what you're looking for but Tom Hanks in "A Man Called Otto" might float your boat.
Comedians getting elected everywhere, John Stewart save us!
"Coming Home From Tarwin's Gap" and "Dance With Jak O' Shadows" both from The Wheel of Time.
How do reavers clean their spears?
They run them through the Wash!
I would absolutely trust someone with this name in commercial dealings.
I say "greetings earthling(s)" but I also like gumshoe! Also definitely adding "listen up assholes" to the rotation, my coworkers appreciate your suggestions!
I don't know if it's a pick up line, but when I get a girls number I immediately send her a picture of a rooster and ask if she likes unsolicited cock pics.
Also, Pegasus was just the name of that particular flying horse. Not the name of the species.
My version is "I hope your day is as pleasant as you are." Said mock sweetly to asshole customers.
I was familiar with its use referring to baseheads, and later took it to mean based in facts. https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/based/
Do we know who's playing the emperor yet? I'm hoping for either Sting or Christopher Walken.
There's an incorrectly spelled Krakow, Wisconsin as well.
As soon as I saw bronze age I thought of old Ea-Nasir, was very surprised he wasn't the point of this reply.
It's all just one long tube from mouth to butthole.
Wait wait wait....you mean to tell me they're just NOW saying the clergy has to report abuse? I assumed it's been something they're ignoring or not enforcing, but it literally hasn't been a rule...this whole time?
The Bortus family arc kinda starts to feel like the entire point of the series in season 3, and I'm okay with that.
Do you regret not asking? If those floorboards were still in usable shape somewhere in a shed would you want them now? It's been 15 years and I still regret leaving a completely innocuous but immensely personal random ass piece of pipe somewhere that my grandmother could accidentally scrap it. I would absolutely have carried that piece of garbage with me all these years. I have so many memories from the little time we had, who knows what we could have accomplished together.
Is transmet trending somewhere? I haven't seen it quoted or memed in years but now twice in two days.
Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You), Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains, Clint Black - Never Liked The Rain, Gene Kelly - Singin' In The Rain, B.J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head.
A life of meaning.
Recently wanted to add "this land" to a Playlist, but wanted a more modern cover and it is damn hard to find a version that includes the original lyrics about private property and trespassing. https://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_Land.htm
The song is called "Bodybag" and I'm pretty sure it's by Hit the Lights? Really bad.
If you haven't played Phoenix Point yet put that on deck.
I meant every member of every union in the country, myself included. I've been to pickets that beat scabs for crossing. You think it's no big deal but even saying that shit actively hurts workers. Try some class solidarity.
I frequently rip down and throw out Trump signs. I don't consider it a crime to remove symbols of hate from my community.
Objective tinnitus is a thing, though less common than subjective tinnitus. It is possible your ear actually is producing sound others can hear, though I guess only with a stethoscope, not the naked ear. https://nyulangone.org/conditions/tinnitus/types
Had me until the last sentence. Lots of folks out there who have problems with you scabbing, watch your fucking kneecaps pal.
Do you think forty an hour is a flex? That's like walk in off the street temp work that methheads and homeless people do lol. Even within the narrow confines of your pathetic worldview you are a complete loser lol.
I quit drinking this way, one booze at a time!
