Religion is like your dick: keep it to yourself in public, only share it with the consent of others, and you're solely responsible for any consequences arising from its use.

How about a nice game of chess

US officials know Israel is full of shit, but if they stand up for what's right, they'll piss off the AIPAC, and will almost certainly be ousted the following election cycle. The AIPAC is easily one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the US, and have no problem slushing a candidate with cash to oppose one who even thinks of criticizing Israel.

We found out a while ago that plumbing pipes aren't the best way to ground a house for a variety of reasons, and this is why ufers (grounding to foundation steel) and ground rods are now the NEC standard. Also, this is why bonding wires are important as well. If the plumbing were bonded to a proper dwelling ground system, the current would find a direct path to ground and trip the responsible breaker, instead of using the gas lines as a big ass resistor and creating the light show we see here.

Better yet to just have a bond to the gas and water pipes. In this instance, any current introduced to the plumbing has a direct connection to ground, which will allow current to flow freely and trip the breaker.

That relies on the assumption that a dictatorship would follow the rules.

Underestimating the bed rail loading. I'd love to make a Ford joke, but let's be real, all truck beds would crumple like that.

More like they don't want the wider public to know it was them that donated. Some folks that are extremely wealthy go to great lengths to keep their names out of people's minds and stay out of the public eye as a matter of personal security.

Not only that, but the ability to transfer or even sell your license. If I can gift or sell a book or DVD, I should be able to do the same with a game or digital movie.
