https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_bollard

"Traffic bollards" or "flexible bollards" seem to be the terms for this type of bollard. They're intended to guide traffic, rather than to stop it dead as a security measure.

If anyone ever landed on earth they would be dissected alive and their technology stolen.

If anyone had the technology to travel the vast distances between potentially inhabitable locations in space, they would appear godlike to us. It would be like ants going to war against a herd of elephants, who happen to also be wizards.

I feel like that boils down to "I want a chart, but in words instead of visualization."

Thank you for proving my point.

Or we could just pass a law mandating that they have to approve any request made by a doctor unless they can show clear evidence of fraud.

This will probably cause a collapse of most of the health insurance industry, which shouldn't exist in its current form anyway.

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a ~~sword~~ grenade at you!

Get out of the house. Pick up new hobbies and meet new people. I don't know how old you are, but you sound young. Now is the chance to build the future you, with a wide variety of interest and experiences, and strong friendships. You won't get any of these from passive consumption of media.

Those are completely separate things. American right wingers were pouring out wine and throwing cheese away as a "fuck you" to the French who dared not support GWB. These were the days when I regularly read "if you don't support our President, you're not a real American."

It had nothing to do with France's history. If Germany refused to back us, right wingers would have been selling or crushing their BMWs and Mercedes in a performative fashion.

This is just how the right wing behaves. If they don't get what they want, they demonize whoever didn't support them. It's the same way that Trump runs everything: like a petulant mob boss.

Forward head syndrome. 0/10. Would not bang.

Americans saw the French as surrending cowards due to WWII, long before the while Iraq thing. I have no idea why there are two people in these comments pushing this claim that it's due to the Iraq war.

The jokes were always ignorant, but they've been around since WWII.

"Cheese-eating surrender monkeys" long predates the Iraq war. It comes from their surrender in WWII. Yes, the jokes ignore their resistance movement and the fact that they basically lost an entire generation of young men to WWI. It also ignores that Britain failed to help France.

I have never in my life heard of Italians being stereotypical cowards.

How did you even find a 20 pack of Coke? All I can find are 10, 12, and 24 packs.
