    The 'ignore' feature works.....

    As far as the OP.
    It's like trying to explain music.
    You either 'get it' or you won't.

    Germany conquered France in 1870 and received reparations that built Berlin.

    Wilhelm II was going to repeat that in WWI.

    WWI started in August 1914 was supposed to be over by Christmas.

    NAZI Germany had "beginner's luck" with 1937 in Spain, Poland, France and the low countries.

    The same happen to us with Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    We'll never learn.

    Jan 6 if successful would have been the end of democracy, and was done for one man. he wanted to cheat and take over the country even though he lost the election. Now he applauds the attempted destruction of democracy on Jan 6 and no amount of Levin adoration will change it. There you have proof by his own words and deeds he is out to destroy democracy. As far as TDS, you are looking at the wrong people. But this is pancakes, and

    Costco was out of regular last week when I went, so they priced premium a nickel more than what regular would have been. I needed half a tank. This weekend I made a 280 mile mostly freeway trip and the 20 prime engine sounded better and zippier, made this same trip many times.

    The Chinese saw it too. BTW you got a full and accurate answer to your question. TDS is like a blindfold.
    I have a Levin jewelers lathe, but the name was not soiled when I got it. It’s a common name so the soiling is just like a little stain Resolve can remove. It has nothing to do with baking.

    Meh.
    The video seems to be a 'what if' for a carrier just hanging out in the strait waiting to be punched.
    They usually like a little more sea room than that - which is why Lincoln and Ford aren't there.
    Hmmmm.
    -Superbowl commercial opportunity for Big Blue Oval, maybe? :LOL:

    (AI Overview: )


    Sharia law perspectives on music vary widely, ranging from strict prohibitions to conditional permissibility, with no single, universal consensus. Generally, music deemed immoral, vulgar, or a distraction from religious duties is considered haram (forbidden), while traditional vocals or simple percussion (e.g., daf) may be allowed by some schools of thought.
    Core Perspectives on Music in Sharia:
    • Prohibited (Haram): Many scholars, particularly in stricter interpretations, consider musical instruments forbidden, citing Hadith that interpret "frivolous talk" in the Quran as music.
    • Permissible with Conditions: Other interpretations suggest music is allowed if it does not distract from prayer, does not promote immoral behavior, or is not sexually suggestive
      .
    • Musical Instrument Restrictions: Many views permit only the daf (a traditional frame drum) and singing, especially for celebrations like weddings.
    • Contextual Legality: Some scholars distinguish between music that leads to vice and music that evokes positive feelings or love for Allah
