    Watch out entire industry that’s been operating for more than a century, Dark Arc’s dad is an engineer and he has correctly interpreted the facts you can’t even seem to grasp.

    Quick, now do perpetual motion! Those simpletons have barely even tried.

    Not that this will mean anything to you, but this feels a lot like when someone says “why don’t we just run lean so we save fuel?”.

    Yes, which is why the recommendation is to keep your hand on the handle while pumping or touch a metal part of your car prior to returning to the pump, and don’t get back into a car.

    I have a real life degree in automotive technology and engineering, and you saw a Mythbusters episode.

    We can keep doing this forever if you like, but you’re still very poorly informed on how safety is engineered into your vehicle fuel system and the mechanisms that support it.

    Here is some reading to help you, API recommended fuel procedures (if you’re not familiar with the API just read any gas pump or bottle of oil until you are): https://www.api.org/oil-and-natural-gas/consumer-information/consumer-resources/staying-safe-pump

    Most important, motorists should not get back into their vehicles during refueling. It may be a temptation to get back in the car for any number of reasons. But the average fill-up takes only two minutes, and staying outside the vehicle will greatly minimize the likelihood of any build-up of static electricity that could be discharged at the nozzle.







  • Most Israelis are just immigrants from Europe/US. Even the singer in this article is actually Russian. Netanyahu’s real name is Mileikowsky. He graduated from Cheltenham High School outside of Philadelphia.

    Their current president Isaac Herzog is the first Israeli President actually born in Israel. His mother is from Egypt and his Father is from Ireland.

    Given the nature of Israel’s foundings this should be not terribly surprising. Israelis are just whites from Europe and The US.







  • Yes, and when you visit reuters it says that police never identified the object as a bomb or explosive.

    You’ll note that paragraph is the only sourced section in the entire article, and the only sourced claim is “the object was found outside embassy grounds”.

    Everything else is direct from JNS, a Sheldon Adelson media property.

    Meanwhile Israeli-leaning media (The Times of Israel, Haaretz, Jerusalem Post, Fox News) are all reporting it was a bomb that was detonated and using that JNS article as the source.

    This phenomenon is called Laundering Information. Take a wild claim from a fringe source and use it to further your position, even if it’s false. By the time anyone checks it will be a worldwide story.

    As I said, I will wait for confirmation from a source not primarily funded by Sheldon Adelson.
