One is a bumblefuck means of fixing something with whatever is on hand the other is rigging a legal court

2019-09-15 20:18:07 UTC  

Juryrigging is a janky as fuck repair job

2019-09-15 20:18:36 UTC  

It’s taking your car to cousin Boris and he use vodka to clean engine

2019-09-15 20:19:01 UTC  

The original term was Jerry rigging, and was a slur against German soldiers

2019-09-15 20:20:03 UTC  

Jury rigging is a bit older than that, mate.

2019-09-15 20:20:25 UTC  

As a term for janky repairs it's not

2019-09-15 20:21:09 UTC  

Juryrigging picked up the same use as Jerry rigging because, say Jerry with a southern drawl

2019-09-15 20:21:18 UTC  

As a term for repairs with what's on hand it dates back to at least the late 1700s

“Are you telling me gasoline doesn’t help put out fires?” - cousin Boris

If anyone's wondering, ubermensch started this with a deleted message about trusting someone who rigs juries.

How different would China be right now if the Kuomintang won the Chinese Civil War?

2019-09-15 20:23:51 UTC  

Not much I suspect

2019-09-15 20:24:27 UTC  

Tho I’d prefer a nationalist win over a communist one

2019-09-15 20:25:25 UTC  

Same

2019-09-15 20:25:58 UTC  

If i was the leader of my own country,i'd recognize Taiwan over the PRC and tell Beijing to go fuck themselves

2019-09-15 20:28:08 UTC  

The Us didn’t recognize the communist government until 1979

2019-09-15 20:29:52 UTC  

Was it a mistake for Nixon to visit the PRC in 1971?

2019-09-15 20:33:38 UTC  

Not really considering be a bit more politically inconvenient to not recognize the PRC compared to like some small power

2019-09-15 20:34:08 UTC  

Like Palestine

2019-09-15 20:36:48 UTC

2019-09-15 20:38:23 UTC  

Was he still in power before he died?

2019-09-15 20:38:58 UTC  

No,i think he stepped down two years ago

2019-09-15 20:40:03 UTC  

Meh not enough time to erode the memory of the impact he had

2019-09-15 20:43:19 UTC  

True

2019-09-15 20:43:30 UTC
