You’d be wise not to. The British K-class submarine could be powered by coal, and the “K” was said to stand for “Kalamity”. They had a rotten record.
Nor were these the only examples:
The Nordenfelt Submarines (1880s): Designed by the Reverend George Garrett and financed by Swedish inventor Thorsten Nordenfelt, these were among the first operational steam-powered, coal-fired submarines. The Ottoman Navy purchased the Abdül Hamid, which could only remain submerged for a few minutes before its boiler ran out of oxygen and required the crew to douse the fire. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Trump is apparently now putting up gold-colored (what else?) medallions all over the White House, even in the showers.
TRump’s notions of elegance are sprouting all over the place, like barnacles, or acne. Future administrations will probably still be finding them in out-of-the-way places, like behind curtains and rarely-moved furniture, for years after the next administration wisely removes most of them.
He also a has an infinity of them, with various gaudy variations.
I’ve read Roman history, and I am glad that Trump is germophobic and probably hates animals; you guys do not need a horse as a senator, a la Caligula*. So… I dunno. Good luck.
* this is probably not true, juat some historical scuttlebutt indicationg how popular the Emperor was.
When they’re only gold colored, it’s vastly easier to afford an infinity of them. Of course, he also insists they are real gold to anybody who points out their more mundane origins.
Mercury contamination is a big problem too, 5kg per year per plant according to the NRDC.
All forms of mercury can be harmful, but methylmercury is the most concerning because it can more easily pass through the body’s blood-brain barrier as well as the placental barrier in the wombs of pregnant women.
So much for protecting the unborn.
There is also a correlation between higher blood levels of mercury early in life and lower IQs.
The NBA as a whole weathered the kneeling controversy a lot better than the NFL did. I suspect owners might have a slightly better relationship with their players and be more sympathetic to any reaction they have to Trump’s presence.
Lara Trump: dad “has an affinity” for the gold medallions.
“Yeah he’s a little wierd that way, kinda.” (that sounds so right for her to say, to my ears)
From Monty’s link on asshole judge:
So buddy walked over to the glasses, after chucking them, and then stomped on them? That’s more of an affront than whatever Virgil Starkwell experienced.
[quote]“It is designed to allow chaplains to quickly look at the religious composition of their units and determine how they structure resources to best provide for warfighters of all faith groups,” he added.
But that was not an acceptable explanation for Mormon House and Senate members, prompting a quick change. The new list now has just 30 faith codes, including LDS, but does not specify which religions fall under the Christian designation.

And now they’re calling the earlier list “proposed” instead of being honest.

I had to type it out becuase, of coure, those idiots couldn’t be arsed to make the post correctly; they had to post it as a picture.
And, again of course, they couldn’t be arsed to fix it right. They mispelled the name of the church at issue. It’s actually spelled The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
And why is Assemblies of God seprate from Pentecostal?
Near the end of WWII, Nazi Germany designed a jet aircraft that ran on coal.
The Lippisch P.13a was an experimental ramjet-powered delta wing interceptor aircraft designed in late 1944 by Dr. Alexander Lippisch.
The aircraft never made it past the drawing board, but testing of wind-tunnel models showed that the design had extraordinary stability into the Mach 2.6 range.
Nice list, thanks for typing it out, and never mind your typos. Is the old list with the 200 denominations somewhere to be found? I must admit the 31 self descriptions read intriguing to me, the number 200 has piqued my curiosity. I guess pastafarianism is not in the old list either?
Somali Referee Says His World Cup Dream Is Dashed After U.S. Denies Entry
“I had the right papers and everything,” Omar Abdulkadir Artan said in his first interview since he was turned back. He would have been the first Somali to referee a game in the tournament.
A referee from Somalia said on Tuesday that the biggest dream of his professional life had been shattered after the American authorities denied him permission to enter the United States to participate in the World Cup soccer tournament.
The referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, was one of 52 selected for this summer’s World Cup in North America. He was one of seven African referees to be chosen for the tournament and would have been the first Somali to referee a World Cup game.
Speaking for the first time since he was denied entry to the United States, Mr. Artan told The New York Times that officiating a World Cup game would have been a symbol for all Somalis of what they could achieve in spite of their country’s difficulties.
“I am very, very disappointed,” Mr. Artan said in a telephone interview from Istanbul, the city he had been flown to after he was refused entry. “I’m just simply a referee who’s trying to live his dream, the biggest dream of my life, to come to the World Cup.”

The DOD keeps screwing up that religions list, observe they also removed “Christian -other” in effect making Christian identities not in the list be forced to either “choose one” or to identify as generic “other religion”.
