I was thinking better expression of sympathy for the loved ones.

I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:

I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel’s contentions with UNRWA.

Shit, make it a year.

You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?

Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?

As a kid I was once driving back with my dad from a specialty lumber yard trip, where hed gone to pick up a ~1.5 ton, 40’ teak beam, with about 10’ hanging off the back, down low. Wed just gotten south of the city, and trafic was finally easing up, when he finally saw chance to get out of the middle lane, and went to take it.

So he threw on his right turn signal, and the guy in that lane immediately started accelerating to close the gap.
My dad just went for the switch anyway, Forcing the guy to drive off the road into the grass median ditch of lose his windshield to a massive piece of wood.

All he said was “a turn signal is a signal of intent, not a request for permission.” And we kept driving.

TBF, if her dick is 0", doesnt that make her a subject matter expert?

I mean technically they can detain under citizen’s arrest/shopkeeper’s privilege, and then hand over to the proper authorities, or just deny access like a bouncer preventing underage drinkers from entering a bar, but neither seems like a good system.

That’s 2 pairs of headphones scissoring.

They can also lay down and look up

Synthetic nicotine is a thing, but not the majority of vape juice. Most of its still just extracted from tobacco.

To continue your metaphor, I wouldnt call beef stock steak, but i wouldnt call it vegetarian, either.

Think theyll pay my company to not install the ~4M in solar we have lined up?

I want someone to figure out how to make the glasses make an ear piercing shriek of other sound uncomfortable enough to make the wearers rip them off their faces.

Remember when trump wanted to nuke that hurricane off the coast of Florida? I think it would have solved a lot of thw countries problems…

I live on a narrow 1 way road, which unfortunately means cars tend to park all the way up on the sidewalk, generally an inch from my fence. (Which gets smashed once a ywar on average, but thats another story) One day someone decided to park over the yellow line, completely blocking off one of my houses 2 exits, and the one I needed to take my mom out to get her to a post surgery follow up. I tried to get the landscapers to move the truck and they refused, so I called the local FD, explaining someone was blocking my house entrance off.

They had a truck full of firemen over there in like 10 mins, with those steel breaker bars. Smashed the windows and passed a rope through the cab, Then climbed over the truck, rolled it over with the bars, then attached the rope to their hitch so they could drag it out and clear for the waiting flat bed wrecker to pick it up.

The vehicle owner had come back out after they smashed the windows and tried to move it himself but the fireman in charge wouldnt let him. Told him it was too late, and his guys ‘needed the practice’

I think i just found my answer on Wikipedia, in Spanish specifically, diaceitic marks as a group are referred to as tildes. And the name for the mark above ñ is a virgulila. Also, interestingly, ñ is considered a distinct letter from n, (as opposed to being an ‘n’ with an added accent) which i didnt realize…

In english (and similarly in french) an accent refers to any of that group of ‘characters,’ which are commonly referred to as ‘glyphs’,differentiating them from characters, which would be whole letters that can be used independently) (which i think is what graficos is translating to) known as accent marks, aka diacritics.

so á is an ‘accute accent mark’ (l’accent aigu in Fr) à is an grave accent, â is called a circumflex / accent circomflex

and ä is an Umlaut/ trema.

Like those last 2, the ñ is not referred to as ‘accent tilde’ just as ‘tilde’ (which to me seems fine for the others, but not the ~ because theres no other commonly used character by that name to need to disambiguation from)

My problem was that when I took linguistics in college, I was also taking logic. To when the linguistics teacher referred to ‘ñ’ in english, he called ‘tilde n’ which was exactly the same phrase the logic professor would use to refer to ~N, aka ‘not N’.

Making me constantly leap to ‘any letter but N,’ or ‘a theoretical negative/ converse of N’

I had to deal with the opposite once.
Was managing a bar where doing shots with customers was common. We also kept a bunch of leroux blackberry brandy in stock that was common for this (a tradition dating back 30 years)

One of the bartenders refilled an empty bottle with robitussin, becauae he was sick, and was shooting that instead when he did shots.

A server then snagged thay bottle and a couple of shot glasses to pour some shots tableside for a group, and then accused the bartender of dosing him on lean. (Promethazine and roxycodone)

There were a couple years where spelling/ grammar checks where it would always correct like half of the regular dashes id use into em dashes, and id have to copy an email dash after I spell checked, then ctrl +f all the regular dashes and replace them with the coppied em dash

Its alsways bothered me a bit that its called a tilde both when its above a letter or on its own Ñ / ~
