Insofar that you add "innocent of absolutely anything and everything that anyone could ever morally doubt, on a philosophical lebel", definitely no.

Innocent as in not responsible for the crimes of others? Yeah, obviously. Depends though but vastly yes.

Well ofc that depends on how regularly you mean, but it's definitely multiple times annually.

But yes, those are record ones.

Why are you "pretty sure" about that? Did you give it any thought?

6 July: A supercell produced a swath of very large hail across Denmark. Hail had very eccentric shapes with pronounced lobes, leading to very large dimensions across the longest axis, up to an estimate of 10.5 cm

I'm in my 30s and before last year I hadn't realised you're not supposed to be able to be taste your meal hours after eating it.

Tried going gluten and dairy free. Never knew I had a sixpack instead of a balloon. It's not been easy I'd kill for a nice carbonara or a pizza or a cheeseburger. Cheeseburgers. A pile. American sized pile pls. A döner roll with feta.

But theres wheat and dairy in fucking everything.

Still, I am much better. Considering.

Because people don't learn things except from personal experience?

Pff.

Mister hasn't ever been in a proper winter or understand how one drives in winter.

It's rare they crash, yeah. But it's happened and and then there's lots of tiny personal injuries, at the worst. Because of the speed in cities.

My car would slip too if i kept summers on it instead of quality winter tires

You don't understand how friction works with larger vehicles. They don't change them for a reason, not because we're a cheap country who doesn't regulate safety.

You can dig up data if you want to be but thinking a bus is less prone to losing control than a personal vehicles shows your inexperience.

And if there's no trams or subs, but buses?

Here in Turku we have good public transport, but they're buses. Unlike personal vehicle, buses don't require winter tires. Theyre literally driving on slicks. (it's because there's so many and so much weight).

This will sound racist, but my city has a problem of hiring bus drivers and quite a lot of them may not be as experienced in driving in winter conditions.

There's also no seat buses on the city buses. (Long distance ones do)

A personal vehicle will have studded tires, won't have to use the completely shiny bus lanes (the buses stopping and going with those slicks really grind them into mirrors), and has seatbelts and airbags. So definitely personal transport is safer in my city.

Here what the bus stops and lanes look like at times. And this isn't even the worst, just one say napped a photo as it was slightly frozen.

Here's like worse weather. That. But everywhere. Then the most dangerously one is that plus a hint of powdery snow, because then you won't see the super slippery ice underneath and step on it unprepared.

I mean, properly trained large dogs can all be like "a loaded gun".

The difference in other breeds being you need to teach them to do that, whereas dogs which were literally bred for blood sports have to have it trained out of them. (Also some small dogs are actually attack dogs, like the Chinese place dog or whatever. They were worn inside your robe and let onto an opponent. Sort of ancient pepper spray level equivalent as a weapon.)

The problem comes because the least able and least willing dog trainers, who actually pretty much would rather have a gun, get dogs bred for blood sports.

It genuinely wouldn't take a huge focused project to breed out the more violent urges. A large one, sure. It'd be different breeding than the ones done just for physical traits, but dogs are extremely adaptable and it can be done.

So to preserve the breeds; committee, regulation, organised effort. Yes I know it's too much to do but it wouldn't be impossible if the will existed.

The bags you get are actually huge as. Yellow for the ones to use inside the store, blue for ones you can own.

But the reason I asked should be pretty clear, given the topic.

A difference in views. (www.youtube.com)

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.

And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."

French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."

Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."

"It's better to be alone than in bad company."

A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.

I had more screen space for reading with my Nokia 3310.

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
