And we got almost 4 inches of rain in 24 hours. About 3 feet of water over the road last night and people were still driving through it. Neighbor's firewood in the ditch. He had it stacked behind his barn and it floated away.

My wife’s aunt gifted me this chair. This chair is quite possibly the favorite thing that I own now. If you have ever sat in one of those shiatsu massage chairs at the mall, this is just like that only better because it’s in my freaking living room. Aunt Judy, you are now my favorite relative on my wife’s side ❤️

If I had known something like this was available, I would’ve had it years ago. It has changed my life by alleviating so much of my back pain.

What model and brand… I’ve actually been looking into them, but don’t know anyone who actually owns one

This is a national crisis. The Houthi’s have somehow gotten ahead of us in giant Jambiya technology!!! We are facing a giant Jambiya Gap caused by the Biden administrations weak and feckless policy when it came to investing in Oversize Jambiya development. We may now be facing a threat to our homeland that is far ahead of us in the numbers of oversize goofy-knives that they already have deployed.

We need an all-out effort involving not only our best contractors, but a full-court press by DARPA, NASA and Nist to counter this threat.

It makes a great quote, but nope.

picture is wrong..
There were Scots and Irish sold as slaves.

Scots
"There were hundreds of thousands of Scots sold into slavery during Colonial America. White slavery to the American Colonies occurred as early as 1630 in Scotland.
According to the Egerton manuscript, British Museum, the enactment of 1652

The judges of Edinburgh Scotland during the years 1662-1665 ordered the enslavement and shipment to the colonies a large number of rogues and others who made life unpleasant for the British upper class. (Register for the Privy Council of Scotland, third series, vol. 1, p 181, vol. 2, p 101)."

Letters II: As many as 100,000 Scots were sold into slavery​


"It was the Stuarts who introduced the Irish to the slave trade. Charles II returned to the throne in 1660 at a time when it was becoming clear that sugar plantations were as valuable as gold-mines."

Irish
The numbers taken as slaves must have been huge as, according to the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, America and West Indies of 1701, we read of there being an estimated 25,000 slaves in Barbados, of whom 21,700 were white. The fair-skinned slaves were known as Redlegs or Redshanks by the locals because of their sunburned flesh.

The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600’s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

I too want my reparations as an Englishman, when the Romans invaded (43AD) (pay up Italy), Scandinavia, mostly Denmark, during the Viking raids (8th Century AD), Norman Conquest (1066AD) (pay up French and Belgium), lets not forget that Germany never paid its war debt (we want that too).

Great Britain hasn't been invaded since about 1066AD, but the above with compound interest should be OK.
