@WallStreetApes He waits only two weeks to see a doctor? Lucky to get in to see a doctor in NJ in less than 2-3 months.

Freight yard switching in action

At CSX’s Rougemere Yard in Dearborn, freight cars are sorted using a method known as “kicking.” The locomotive gives them momentum before they are uncoupled and roll through the lined switches to the required track.

@Fogatmidnight @RobLogic @CreasonJana For the mass slaughter that happened there.

@thewaronbeauty One of the first things the Bolsheviks did was to change the Russian alphabet to erase "tsarist" class distinctions & make the language easier for a largely illiterate peasant population. The changes permanently altered the alphabet, spelling rules, and everyday vocabulary.

Westward remains the largest yacht ever built to the 1908 International Rule but another absolute legend from the same golden era is the 1911 Mariquita.

This stunning 125 ft (38 m) 19-Metre Class gaff cutter is the sole survivor of her class, beautifully restored and still racing in classic regattas today.

@Landeur Consider that the first prototype of that was probably nothing more than a stick with a tiny seat attached to it.

@EternalEnglish Tried to dig some of these up along roadside to transplant. Not easy. They have a very long taproot and tend to grow in rough packed soil - like along the roadside.

This is utter nonsense and was explicitly rejected by the men who actually founded the nation, as documented by everything they ever wrote and said at the time. America is a specific place created for a specific people for a specific purpose.

You don’t even have to take my word for it. Here is Founding Father, Continental Congress delegate, first ever Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, state governor, U.S. Secretary of State, and Federalist No. 2 author John Jay:

“Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.”

So you can throw your lot in with John Jay on who best understands what America is, or you can side with Biden SCOTUS pick Jumanji.

Third world communists are the enemy. They've taken over our greatest American city. They're taking over one of our two major political parties. They hate this country. They hate white people. They hate our heritage and traditions. This is the fight. Get in the game or go away.

George Washington bred his own pack of hunting dogs and named them like a man with zero supervision. We're talking Sweet Lips, Tipsy, Tipler, Drunkard, and one named Vulcan who was so big a kid could ride him like a pony. Vulcan once stole an entire ham straight off the dinner table and bolted to the kennels. The General just laughed while Martha sat there furious.

But the dogs were only half of it. The man could DANCE. In 1779 he partnered with Kitty Greene at a ball and the two of them danced for over three hours straight without sitting down once. People at the time said he was actually elite at it. He called it "so agreeable and innocent an amusement."

And in his final years his big retirement hobby was building a whiskey distillery. Not a little hobby still either. By 1799 it was the largest distillery in America, cranking out 11,000 gallons a year.

So the real George Washington: breeds hunting dogs with names like Drunkard, dances for three hours straight, runs the biggest whiskey operation in the country. Founding Father behavior.
