In Arabic, "habūb" means "blowing furiously." This word has proven to be quite useful to describe the strong sandy winds blowing across the Sudan, but other desert climate residents have also adopted the word. - some article I found.

Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.

Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.

An arms length. We used to be sorted be height and you put your arm out and shuffle in until just touching with your finger tips. Then arms down and you are at attention and in formation.

I complain about this all the time to my friends in the US! Mostly with distance measurements, but still. I wish the US would use C, metric etc.

I live alone and one of these biscuit containers popped open inside my fridge by itself! It was pretty loud as it rattled a bunch of other glass in there, but I didn't realize what it was at first. I was sure someone banged on my window and was super paranoid all night. Scared the hell out of me lol so dumb.

Not boiling in Fahrenheit!

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and "don't lock your knees" is often taught first thing.

Rufus the dufus. Nice marketing!

less common spelling of doofus slang : a stupid, incompetent, or foolish person

We used to smoke in the car even when not going anywhere or driving. Hotboxing is a thing, and depending on outside weather or family nearby its the best place to get away for this!

The exterior design introduces flush motorised door handles, a first for a Nissan production vehicle

I really don't like these handles! I do like the overall look though.

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.

Well of course, haven't you seen the drivers training video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yco1deXOzN8

DisplayLink docks will sort that out! Ive been running my work M1 with 2 external monitors for a couple years now. 34" ultrawide for the main, 4k on the left, laptop on the right.

I recently saw a pigeon doing its mating ritual trying to attract another pigeon in my yard. That other pigeon had been dead for over a week! That didn't stop the mating attempt. This is also how I picture trump.

Presumably you also take big greasy shits in your home state, so this is real dumb. People gotta poop. Arizona has a lot of beautiful areas and good people.

You are just insulting other people's bodies using this type of response instead of attacking all the things Trump is actually doing wrong.

It will light up an indicator for each pan detected, so if 2 pans are on the stove you still need to activate the one you want. Assuming you don't want both on.

I just bought one of these! First press on, then wait a second for the pan to be detected, then select the burner to turn on, then + which sets it to 5/10, then press + 5 more times for full power! The one with knobs was like double price...but hey the pan heats up quick while you are cursing at it.

Well I changed my nvidia settings from on demand to a lower value and rebooted Mint a few weeks ago. Then there was no display at all and several hours/days of searching led me to reinstall Linux again and I did not have good backups. There was probably an answer there, but my frustration with Linux is real!!! I still refuse to use anything else and flop between manjaro and mint. I think having proper system backups and a live USB ready to go is helpful...I'm much more defensive running Linux because I keep getting shitty surprises, but I still feel better about it over using windows.
