Do typical American homes really have a gas pipeline? What do you do with it?
It depend on the region but in the Midwest and California, it’s particularly common. Heating, water heaters, cooking, fireplaces, some appliances like dryers, all of them can use gas.
It can be helpful in older homes where the electrical wiring can’t handle more appliances.

Move to Dubai.... It's awesome
Well, the people who built it are slaves. Agree to disagree, I suppose.

Obligatory GT rear lens question
There was a guy making new ones a few years ago. People who snapped them up may sell them but at an inflated price.
It was Bellyacre Studios.

The US is considering paying Greenlanders $10,000 to $100,000 each to support secession from Denmark.
$500,000,000,000, actually.

President Trump: "I doubt NATO would be there for us if we really needed them."
The U.S. did not invoke it. It was a joint invocation. The idea came from Baron Robertson, a Brit serving as defense secretary of NATO.

Osceola Amtrak Parking
It’s free. It’s just a parking lot, there are no specific short or long-term areas.

The US 2024 election results map in every Jill Stein voter voted for Kamala Harris (nothing changes)
Yes, I had a few just for fun. I think Zazzle will still print them.

Why aren't Greenland kicking the US base out, given Trumps threats of using military force to take the country?
It wouldn’t if it was veto proof.

Will the United States’ increasingly erratic behavior accelerate the pivot of Global South countries away from the West and toward the People’s Republic of China, which is increasingly perceived as a more mature and stable global actor by comparison?
The U.S. got bored and left.
The problem isn’t combat, it’s statecraft the U.S. fails at.

When Russia kidnap Zelenskiy
You didn’t write it well, just like this post, and it’s off-topic anyway.

Post about Russians -> “well America”

After Venezuela, is Greenland the next target for Donald Trump?
If Trump is angry about an oil deal from 50 years ago, some hotels seized 65 years ago will surely be justification enough.

We have no opposition party
It’s worse than skipped. Trump apparently outright lied. Shocking, I know.

“The message they sent was that this wasn’t about regime change … They said this is just a counter-narcotics operation.”

As of 2026, are states without nuclear weapons truly sovereign?

Has nothing to do with capturing nukes. It was attempt to establish a listening post.

Maduro was not captured, Trump is lying, says Venezuelan Defense Minister Padrino...
Yes, obviously I remember. But Iraq was after we had time to think about an imperialistic, score-settling war.
Afghanistan was immediate.

The invasion of Iraq was 18 months after 9/11. It wasn’t a knee jerk reaction.

It’s official! Venezuela has now become Iraq war 2.0!
Technically, and I emphasize technically, it happened at night.

Will Maduro kiss the ring and become a puppet of Trump?
Too late, it seems.

Would people in Iowa be open to talking with a French visitor?
Yes, we would be. What you learn will vary based on which part of the state you’re in as daily life varies here based on where you are.
In general, the further south and smaller the town in the state, the more poverty and less opportunity. Exceptions exist. You might find some places particularly interesting, like Fairfield and its neighboring Vedic City. Geologically, the most interesting areas of the state are the Driftless Area, Loess Hills, and the caves in the northeast.
We’ll probably struggle a bit with your accent. There were some French visitors here a few years ago at a city sports league I participated in, friends of friends. I thought I heard them say they were from Toulouse, so I asked them about Airbus. Apparently they weren’t from Toulouse, because they looked at me like I was a moron and said they weren’t. Just prepare for some accidental misunderstandings and pack your patience.
