@afshineemrani Is it common to open up a chest in a Cath Lab?

@hungry_video This is Balik Ekmek. A Turkish street food (usually mackerel) sold commonly in the Karakoy district of Istanbul.

@mikeyj2208 @WhatsuhStoploss Cry me a river. My property taxes are more than $15,000 per year in the lovely liberal landscape of Portland Oregon. And I have a pretty modest house.

@HemingwayBurger @willow_wwhimsy The rope goes up and down, but the incense burner swings side to side. The monks need to manipulate the burner so that it swings appropriately. By the end, there will be one monk left and he will be rising about 10-15 feet in the air.

@RickD747 @willow_wwhimsy This isn’t about God. Nor is it about worship. This is a simple method that the priests used to mask the smell of of 1000 stinky pilgrims.

@hotscotty21 @willow_wwhimsy No exit signs. No sprinklers. Everyone clothed in loose-fitting gear. That incense burner showers sparks with every pass. A dangerous and exiting time to be in church.

@willow_wwhimsy @Gunslinger2C It’s the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Santiago, Spain. Pilgrims would arrive at Santiago seeking nourishment after a long journey on foot. But they stank. Aromatics in the incense burner masked the smell.

@TheLaikYobaz Can you show a photo of an Iranian refueling tanker?

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@FranWalsh73 Um…why does it take you three seconds to divide something into 72?

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@RobertCoavas It’s so good it appeared twice on the list.

@KATUNews They tried to double the money that went to transit. Nobody rides the bus anymore, because transit organizations are in horribly inefficient.

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@KATUNews Why should we have government employed ODOT employees, leaning on their shovels when they could contract it out and have private contractors, leaning on their shovels for much less money.

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@gaspricecheck @KATUNews The math doesn’t work under the existing paradigm.

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@CAgovernor Oh the irony.

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@KATUNews Suddenly, when the referendum is approved, you found $300m for ODOT and another $350m to fix the Blazers arena.

@hmurari @aerockrose Isn’t that the dollar value of winning, not the likelihood?

@AntiLeftMemes Beany and Cecil

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@lady_valor_07 I can smell these right now!

@PatrickHeizer What’s the lag time between a president’s economic decisions and the maximal impact on the economy?

[Emperor Wang @TheseusMouse]

@COBobbertHill @LillianBelle2 What? Oregon does exactly the same thing. Four of Oregon’s six congressional districts meet in downtown Portland. A fifth includes the cities of Corvallis and Eugene, which are both liberal college towns.
