If you’re involved in any kind of protest, the phone number of a lawyer. Hell, generalize this. Make sure you memorize numbers of at least the first few of your emergency contacts. You never know when you will be separated from your phone.
Are you asking leading questions?
Sorry, best I can do is 20 episodes of Wormhole Extreme!
Are these…shuttles…formidable warships?
Yup, that’s the one!
Will always love the scene where they’re on Apophis’s ship, looking down over the shield generator. Bra’tac states that to disable it, they need to go on some long cliche sci fi quest of going through multiple decks, flipping various controls, etc to disable the generator. O’Neill just calmly pulls out a couple grenades and drops them into the generator, destroying it.
I wonder if the whales still tell each other stories about the whale oil boom years of the 19th century.
And hell, let’s say we can prove whales do have communication just as complex as ours. Suddenly their intelligence and sentience is as proven as our own. What rights do whales have? If they’re as intelligent as people, they’rd not just animals. They simply are people. An animal as intelligent as a person is simply a person. Full stop. We have to adjust our model of the world to be one where we just have people swimming around in the ocean. Let that really sink in to your world view. There are just people out there living amongst the waves. And like all people they have certain natural rights. What rights do they have? Can they sue us in our courts for polluting their waters? Do we owe these people reparations for what our ancestors did to them? Do we need to start negotiating treaties with them, the same as we would any other population of people?
My first thought on contemplating the idea of whales truly being as intelligent and aware as we are? I immediately think, “my god, what have we done?”
Yes you can take out parent plus loans without collateral. That’s their entire reason for existing.
You’re confusing cause and effect. Usually people use drugs and have mental health issues because they are homeless. They’re not homeless because they have those maladies. Homeowners weather those challenges just fine. And living on the street creates drug and mental health issues. If I had to sleep on the sidewalk, I sure as hell would want to be high all day. Wouldn’t you?
A homeless drug addict is just a middle class drug addict with a smaller bank account balance.
So your parents borrowed against the value of their home to put you through college. They could have also taken out parent plus loans to do the same thing. Why is this an argument for letting home prices soar?
Stalin thought Siberia needed a lot of people living there. Look how that turned out.
Building more housing is the solution, even if those homes largely go to the upper middle class and wealthy. Building new homes primarily for well off people isn’t a historic anomaly, it’s the norm. If you’re already building a house, it doesn’t take that much more to add some luxury features to make it appeal to the high end of the market. This is how it’s always been. Historically, the affordable housing of today is the luxury housing of yesterday.
Preventing new home construction doesn’t prevent neighborhoods from gentrifying. You just end up with yuppies living in newly renovated former tenements.
After rebuilding it, you drive your new 30k EV out of its refit garage. Pulling out into the road, you immediately get hit by someone using their cell phone, totalling your car.
The insurance company offers you $5k for your vehicle, as they value it as a twenty year old used car on a rebuilt title.
These things are never that simple.
We need a law that people that treat their employees like this are just forever barred from owning money. Literally. They’re legally not allowed to receive or own currency in any form. Make these people go back to barter.
I used to put it on my resume and the kind of offers I would get…where VERY bad. Or had some huge red flags.
In what way, someone looking for people to hack old banking systems?
Yeah, the woodworking community tends to loathe paint, for obvious reasons. There’s no point in working hard and making something nice out of high quality hardwood if you’re just going to paint over it. Which is where the opposition to paint comes from. I share that sentiment for projects where it matters. I wouldn’t make a desk out of black walnut and then paint it. But anything made of OSB? That’s a material you choose when you just want strength and function and aesthetics are irrelevant. And if looks don’t matter, and it needs to be waterproof, paint is the way to go.
Definitely paint it. Purists will hate paint. But there’s a reason we cover our houses in paint and not stain or varnish. Your tray has a base made of OSB; this isn’t a project where showing off the grain matters. I would put a coat of oil based primer and two or three coats of oil based enamel paint.
I do like the idea of it draining into a plastic container. But ultimately, if you put thick paint on it, you are essentially creating a plastic container.
This person should be banned from ever touching a computer again.
I use the k cups and brewer with a reusable washable pod. You put little paper filters in them.
We used to give lobotomies to those who didn’t fit in right in capitalist workplaces.
