Can you work in an opinion about all-season vs. winter tires and chili with vs. without beans?

Due to climate change the number of places in the US that need dedicated winter tires is decreasing and the quality of all seasons only gets better every year

Chili should be made with beans because it's served in Mexico with beans on the side, so putting beans in the chili is just streamlining the process and infusing them with flavour, eat smarter

loving perfect delivery there

English doesn’t have a word for landing in water, except “ditch”, which is vernacular if I’m not mistaken.

Water landing doesn’t really make sense when you think about it.

French, a clearly superior language, has a word for water landing (amerrissage) and landing on the Moon (alunissage). We also have a verb for “giving birth” which would have seemed like a given.

German has a word for water landing, and it's beautiful.

Is that still used for a non-emergency water landing? Like with a seaplane?

No, "Not" literally denotes the emergency in that word. A non-distress water landing would just be a "Wasserlandung" (?), idk. German beautiful language basically

I think the Netherlands have one of the highest vaccination rates of Europe, so let's go ahead and do away with mask mandates indoors.
You know what, let's do away with all restrictions entirely.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/at-least-180-infected-after-dutch-disco-despite-showing-covid-19-certificates-1.4611870

quote:

So far 180 people out of roughly 650 who attended a disco in the eastern Dutch city of Enschede have tested positive for Covid-19, despite them having to show a negative test or proof of vaccination on entry.

The number was revised up from 165 on Monday.

The suspected mass spreading event has brought under scrutiny the implementation of the Netherlands’ “test for entry” system and a decision to drop almost all Covid-19 restrictions, as the number of national daily infections reported on Sunday was 145 per cent higher than a week earlier.

There was a tweetstorm over the fact that the strip mine has a fuckton of, uh...sump pumps (?) to drain the water back out, and people started screaming that those pumps should have been used to drain peoples homes or something so capitalism bad.
While they're absolutely on the money about the whole "capitalism bad" in general, what they don't realize is what would happen if the strip mine pit were to actually flood to the point where the tailing pools and such end up in the water that is now going everyfuckingwhere

The whole tweet chain (9 posts) is worth reading, it's absolutely insane.

12,000 new cases in the Netherlands, 50,000 in Spain, 52,000 in the UK, USA's ramping up again as well with 40,000.
We're only at 1,500 cases over here, but give us two more weeks, I'm pretty sure we'll be in the 20,000 range as well.

I cannot fathom the rage and frustration of health care workers in countries that are all OPEN 'ER UP. They got to have a breather for like a month and a half and now they're being put right back into poo poo-hell

Despite olds being pretty much 100% vaccinated, it seems they somehow missed the repeated reports over the last two months that even vaccinated folks can catch and transmit the delta-variant.

For the thousandth time, I tell myself "we live in the dumbest timeline".

What...uh...prompted this "change of heart"? Rupert's advertisers threatening to pull ads and/or GOP donors threatening to assfuck everyone who doesn't cut the crap?

stock market and the fact that it may be occurring to them that the folks most likely to stay unvaccinated and die/be affected by the current surge are predominantly their base, and that translates into fewer votes in the future? Idk

I'm still feeling the impact at work of the Ever Given blocking the Suez canal. And on top of the semiconductor shortage, there's also a loving wood-shortage, and a ZF plant got drowned in the recent flooding and the company hasn't even given a rough estimate on when it'll be able to resume production.
