It's probably a cold cut saw. Much much quieter.

I've been there. Your country is stunningly beautiful. And people were very warm and friendly.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the massive deep pit and the mounds of dirt almost touching the floor joists are related to each other.

I have a rule about how you can tell if something is a cult or not. It's the answer to the question what happens when you try to leave.

You don't want or maybe do want to be downwind of that thing when it launches.

As someone who's on the hormone in question. I feel like people draw a lot of conclusions based on unacknowledged assumptions. Some of which are known not true. Others are unsupported.

Matsuoka like I think most Japanese politicians and military leaders that spent time in the US all thought war with the United States would be a disaster. And also really really stupid because mostly the American interest in the far east was in selling stuff. But none of them had the power to stop the Army and Navy from starting a war.

Reply to comment by Grahamshabam in When it comes to Cuba's military victory at the Bay of Pigs, does Che Guevara deserve any credit or should it be assigned exclusively to Castro's leadership? by Anglicanpolitics123
I read a paper on the difference between NGO's and the military doing non military projects in foreign countries. Turns out locals tend to just grumble if an NGO does something unpopular. The military no matter what it is results in hard resistance.

Reply to Painting over old wood paneling by TierPodzia
I never can figure out why people don't just take old paneling down and sell it. And then paint the drywall under it.
