And just like most wars, it was bullshit that it was fought in the first place and the largest source of casualties was innocents.

It’s often a negotiable point (and should be in your negotiations with any company): the amount of time I give an employer as notice is directly tied to my exit package type stuff.

Because the store management isn’t going to organize with us rabble. It’s also hard to mimic the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars worth of sales that regional looks at in their accounts. Pulling the wool over their eyes on that level is getting into bank fraud territory, and would require the aid of, and not just also not showing up, of bank workers.

To be fair, when I was a teen that really was how I thought. The real meaning wasn’t noticed until I started seeing the costs of politics and actually caring about what was going on. So if it helps, just think of the people claiming this as still being very very stupid ignorant of the politics of the real world.

Oh god, I didn’t even notice the action lines until you pointed that out.

Most people have differently sized nostrils. It’s an interesting physical difference, and there are a few different ideas for why. One is the nasal cycle, and your body simply has a preference for one side, another that you’ll hear is (and this is constantly parroted in the EMS world and easily dismissed by the logic that your nose is quite far from the carina where the primary bronchi merge) that your lungs are slightly different due to the heart sitting partially to the left of your chest (for most people), making your right lung bigger and thus blows harder through the right nostril.

Sounds like they should have made their kids’ survival dependent on their survival. That’s the ticket, right there. Now we just need to make our great-grandkids’ survival dependent on our survival, and we’ll all be healthy right into the next century!

242 posts in 11 days of life, 42 comments. That seems like an odd account, doesn’t it?

It’s also not even just the genders. Copy/paste the text, wait a few days, and then when you make the post you can also ‘prime’ the situation by having a few immediate posts leaning one way or the other.

I used to have problems with clumps. I still do, but I used to as well.

For the most part I now make things in batches. Hot chocolate, tea, whatever. With big batches I can use the mixing bowl and use the immersion blender. Nothing stays clumpy when you have a blade whizzing around at 3000+ rpm.

In most places, a property owner must ask law enforcement to trespass the person off of the property before someone is considered legally or criminally trespassing.

This is decided by and highly specific to the local court/prosecutors, so check local practices. I’ve lived in an area where three adjacent counties had three different ways to handle trespassing. One had law enforcement only trespassing, one had owner/manager only trespassing (as in, a random employee can’t do it, only the owner of the property or the person who is on the lease for the land/building), and the last was so loose a patron of a business telling someone to get lost was almost enough for the person trespassing to be arrested.

It’s all in how ya hold it!

Appalls. Unless I’ve missed a new slang word for getting into drag.

I’m mostly joshing ya. My scooter weighs all of 150 wet, but I have a sport tourer that’s somewhere around 700. It sucks to maneuver that thing. I wish the feds would do something about lane splitting. Once upon a time they were able to get us on HOV lanes.

I remember some of the incident you were describing. It was a ‘training’ about hands-on tactics, and he somehow ended up in the group with three or four of the officers he was investigating.

Equations. When we model things with equations, sometimes they don’t have a ‘solution’ at a particular place, unless we use the formal math rules of ‘imaginary’ numbers like i. Someone else in the comments mentioned electric conductance/resistance in circuits as an example.

Get a lighter bike, mate. Scooter goes brrrr! But also, yes. Please god, the misery of traffic jams must stop. Let me lane split!

Turning a motorcycle or bike is falling with purpose! The faster you are falling (leaning over more), the faster you turn!

Look for platinum cure or medical grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Avoid TPE and PVC at all costs.

And shop online. Your local sex store worker likely doesn’t know very much about the individual products, and will tell you whatever you want to hear. Any product listing on a website will absolutely divulge every secret there is to know about it, and beg me for the privilege of my purchase. If you absolutely want to buy in person, go after you’ve looked up the product online.

That’s why you get the receipt, just like you normally do when paying in cash.
