Community not sub as this is not reddit ;)

Sumer like the country that the Sumerians lived in

If we could sort by controversial it would be even faster

Jesus would be an AnSoc while being really let down with a good chunk of AnSocs

A guy on that much gear is unlikely to have a big hog

Yeah if they work for NASA we should be able to presume they are intelligent enough to know not to do this.

On mine the left most knob controls the front and the one next to it does the back. On the right side they are reversed so Im constantly lighti g the wrong one.

If you block specific bots your experience changes significantly. I blocked the youtube bot and all the altright spam went away.

When was the last time it was good? Im going with the death of Next Gen magazine in 2002

Years ago I worked in a liquor store in a strip mall. We had an auto supply store in the lot next to us and a bunch of fast food spots. The two lots have 3-400 parking spaces.

One day a guy pulls up to our fire lane, which is intended for firetrucks pulling up to building that are on fire, in a Shelby Cobra. I ask him to move as we have hundreds of open spaces, he could quadruple park and it wouldn’t be an issue. He told me to get fucked so I told the manager.

The manager goes to the pretzel place and suddenly there’s a fire alarm. The fire truck plows through the Cobra devastating it. The owner of the Cobra freaks and starts yelling at the firefighter only to be reminded the car was illegally in the fire lane and he should expect to have to pay a fine for that and pay for any damage to the truck.

I don’t get why some think their stuff should be treated differently.

That was pulled back because the way that was passed in the Senate would have set a bad precedent.

Yes and then they realized all the replacement parts for everything already built would still need to be imperial measures as a replacement fastner needs to be the same size. So we didn’t switch.

Saw this all the time in Flushing with recently immigrated Chinese mainlanders. The fact is not every society shares the same inhibitions and taboos. This could be perfectly acceptable where they come from or they could be nuts?

Have you ever lived in a major city before? In my time in NYC this wasn’t abnormal to see. Not every society has the exact same inhibitions and taboos as others.

Owned not run. The LDS has never run Ancestry directly. The service LDS runs is a competing free service.

I can find multiple sources that state a 30% stake at certain points but I can’t say I trust them as they are blogs. I’ll keep looking.

As an aside LDS and HRCC are very different in terms of how they view money and investment.

Looks like that is no longer the case and the Blackstone group is the majority owner now. If you look into Ancestry’s history it was started by LDS members as a project for the cult. There was investment at one point but they no longer own it.

It’s maintained by The Church of the Latter Day Saints aka LDS or Mormons which is why it is so US focused.

Edit: this is incorrect as Blackstone is the majority owner as of 2020
