We’ve all been there. Do you need me to go grab something for you?

Ok that’s one fucked up family. Out of all of them, god only saw fit to smite one of them? Sheesh.

Well the article says that

the brother of a man who died without children is permitted and encouraged to marry the widow. However, if either of the parties refuses to go through with the marriage, both are required to go through a ceremony known as halizah, involving a symbolic act of renunciation of their right to perform this marriage.

So, permitted and encouraged, but not forced into it. Except by god it seems.

To add to this, the most closely related passage in the bible is in Genesis 38, where this guy Onan was ordered to have children with his brother’s widow so the child could inherit his brother’s estate.

This seems to me a bit outside your usual family obligations, and so did the guy because while he engaged in sexual intercourse, he “spilled his seed” on the ground to avoid fulfilling this familial duty.

God didn’t think much of that and killed him on the spot.

The tale is usually linked more to the “sin” of contraception, but it seems like a much more pragmatic story: it’s best you knock up your brother’s widow than have everyone start a war over the spoils.

They’re playing fuck, marry, kill.

Not sure if this is a jest, but it isn’t true.

People move to other countries sometimes with little more than the clothes on their backs - just look at historical immigration to the US.

If you have the luxury of doing it the proper way - getting a job offer, a place to live, etc - then that’s perfect, but desperate people will do desperate things to survive.

I’m sure we’ll be fine :3

Me, but with these new car headlights that are ridiculously bright and blue.

I get it that you want bright beams, but do you understand how many people are out there driving with night blindness? Old people with cataracts, or just people with nearsightedness or astigmatism, or vitamin a deficiency (alcoholics * cough *), do you really want to risk your life?

Emergency :2

I’m paying almost 2x for diesel and I don’t think it’s going down anytime soon, so mission accomplished?

Ooooooooh.

I love how fucking biased that article is. It mentions Obama like 10 times, including this gem:

Clearly, the Obama administration decided to spend taxpayer funds on a technology that was poorly conceived and quickly outdated.

Thanks for the hindsight, moron writer guy. So what’s trump doing, investing in better renewables?

No, instead of building an underperforming power plant, he spent the same money just to prevent a power plant from being built.

Money for nothing and the chicks for free amirite.

What? Hydroelectric power stations use gravity and the falling or flowing water makes the turbines turn. No steam.

Thermal plants (nuclear, coal, gas), including solar thermal plants, use steam.

Plot for human centipede right here.

That would be absolutely amazing - the whole US economy, imploding in 1 day.

Works of art? I mean, the words in the book, of course, but surely not the medium itself, these look like those budget $15 editions that are mass printed on toilet paper…

Agreed.

If you’re gonna steal groceries, might as well pick up stuff that the dealer needs and deliver them to his door for full price + delivery fee.

With how crazy prices are getting at the supermarket, might as well start selling smuggled eggs from dark corners…

I swear I saw the post and it had brave as #1 app and now it’s gone. I mean, good, but still…

To explain this joke: velocity is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction, which mom failed to indicate, shame on her.
