On the plus side, I smell a great opportunity for a longitudinal population study. 🤔

A man—made incident occurred on the tanker during engine start-up, as a result, the engine room was damaged," Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.
It's such a shame there was an accident on one of the shadow fleet ships. Hope nothing comes of the others when they come to port. /s

Thank you, my pedantic friend. (I say this because I'm often the one making the comment and getting the eyerolls)

They helped him in pursuit of profit. Many ended up in concentration camps.
Sounds familiar...
The New York Times expressed astonishment that Hugenberg, an “arch-capitalist” who stood “in strongest discord with economic doctrines of the Nazi movement,” was suddenly in charge of the country’s finances. Hitler’s “socialist mask” had fallen, the Communist daily Red Banner proclaimed, arguing that “Hugenberg is in charge, not Hitler!” The weekly journal Die Weltbühne dubbed the new government “Hitler, Hugenberg & Co.”
As self-proclaimed “economic dictator,” Hugenberg kept pace with Hitler in outraging political opponents and much of the public. He purged ministries. He dismantled workers’ rights. He lowered the wages of his own employees by 10 percent.
Hugenberg didn’t care about bad press. He was accustomed to being one of the most unpopular personalities in the country.

Streaming insiders have claimed they’re being made to rewrite scripts for viewers who use their phones while watching. Is this the end of prestige TV? Or pure fiction?
Thank you for sharing!
Believe it or not, Ojibwe people also have a story about Paul Bunyan
Believe it or not, Ojibwe also have a story about Paul Bunyan. He came to the area known as Red Lake and tried his de-forestation BS, but Nanaboozhoo - The Greatest Ojibwe who ever lived - obviously wasn't having none of that. They got into a fight that lasted 3 days, and finally our hero picked up a giant walleye and slapped the outlander silly with it. Paul got knocked on his ass in a mud puddle, so hard it left an imprint of his buttcheeks there in the wet ground...thats why the lake is shaped the way it is and why we were able to keep our forest. You'll never hear this story in a book, but that's basically how I heard it from my father when I was young - after coming home from kindergarten in bemidj (pauls favorite town, mwahaha!) and talking about him. That's the story behind the Paul/Babe & Nanaboozhoo statues in that town. This used to be a sign at the rez line, I remember the chimooks didn't like it and kept cutting it down. But the story lives on, and now you know . . . #nati
You actually think they came through with a meal for those guys? I'm betting that bill was left unpaid
I'm wondering if someone in the crowd was interfering with the signal or these were point failures on individual drones
At least 5 shows canceled after drones fell from the sky at Orlando holiday event
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/kyqWG
At least five drone shows have been canceled, or have paused the use of the systems, after several drones struck a crowd at a holiday show in Orlando on December 21.
Universal Orlando, Orlando World Center Marriott, the cities of Dallas and Austin, Texas, and a New Year’s Eve event in New York City’s Central Park have either canceled drone shows or the drone components of larger holiday events following the incident.
It is unclear which companies were under contract to produce the shows in each location.
Footage captured on December 21shows drones colliding with each other before falling from the sky during a holiday show at Lake Eola Park. Some drones fell into the lake, some onto the ground and some into areas where a crowd was watching.
Among them was a 7-year-old boy who was struck in his chest by one of the drones. He underwent emergency heart surgery, according to a GoFundMe campaign posted by his family, who spent Christmas in the hosp
I would say it depends and could be one of those questions you don't trust the Internet to answer. With the caveat I'll happily add my bit of wisdom. If it's filled with white and relatively new, sure try to relieve it.
- try to see if there's a pore clogged, do some gentle squeezing around it and see if you can find the offending pore. Also note if the bump is squishy or hard. If it's full of fluid it might squirt right out along with a hair follicle or solidified oil
- If you find a pore but can't squeeze anything out, sterilize a needle (wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry) and try to clean out the pore if you can
- If you're really stuck you could try to puncture the skin with the needle, but draining a cyst this way will likely only help temporarily and it will grow back
- If it's too large and/or full of "hard cheese" you may need to surgically remove it, meaning cut it open with a scalpel, drain the cyst, remove the sac, and close it back up. I would not advise doing this on your own, particularly on your face/nose and if you try this and fail to remove the sac it will potentially get infected and likely grow back soon anyway
Also, I am not a doctor and this is my opinion
It's often not so simple as a person making a choice and knowing the outcome. There are often many tragic factors that contribute to the situation that resulted in the overdose. One common situation is someone is injured and prescribed opioids by their doctor, perhaps having been influenced by drug companies like Purdue pharma. As they take it they become addicted, eventually the doctor cuts them off and they go to other doctors, then they may find it easier to buy from a dealer, then they may find it more affordable to buy fentanyl, and then maybe they take too much or get a bad batch and od.
They didn't start taking drugs knowing it was going to be a bad path, they started because their doctor prescribed it and by the time they figured out they were addicted they were no longer in control and may not have had the resources to get out. It's often not just a question of willpower but one of support and resources to help you up.
There are many other scenarios, but it's rarely a simple result of a few conscious choices and almost always a result of people suffering in bad situations and it's ok to feel compassion and empathy even if they weren't completely innocent in it all.

Watts are part of the electrical properties along with volts and amps. Laptop chargers have the same watts and volts but more amps.
This is incorrect, Watts (power) is the product of amps * volts. The formula is P = IV. Anything with the same power and voltage will have the same amps.
The volume of power consumed would be Watts * time and gets you to capacity and usage units like watt-hours.
Lol I believe it would be rapid uncontrolled oxidation
Weight is my go to for any measurement I want to be reasonably precise, solids or liquids. my kitchen scale gets a lot of use.
that said, if this is a baked good like a cookie or brownie where you enjoy biting into the existing texture, I'd probably go with less precise and just cutting it by eye in whatever way seems less destructive. 1/5ths is a little tough though. I'd tend to go for 1/4 or 1/6 and feel better about the precision to cut something in half and then half again or in thirds and then half again.
Exactly what I was thinking, I'm not sure of any example coming before the original Charlton Heston version.
Don't have a name for the trope tho

Yeah that's terrible. I have an hour of stand-ups but that's 4 teams, I'm not an IC on any of them.
Biden should straight up resign and hand over power to Kamala now. That would short circuit the nomination process and completely undercut any argument that she's not up for the job if it's no longer hypothetical and she's actually just rocking it IRL.
but he never will, his ego won't allow it
Given Biden’s condition, the Trump campaign will try to stoke irrational fears about a potential Harris presidency anyway. And the hypothetical, driven as it is by lurid right-wing fantasies, will necessarily be worse than the reality. That is, Harris can begin to defuse apocalyptic right-wing arguments against her—that she is some kind of left-wing radical who will render the country unrecognizable—by governing wisely for the remainder of the term.

If the president wants to protect American democracy, he should hand over his office to Kamala Harris.
