That’s cuz ya basic like one :)

All Cops Are Artists?

Thank you for providing legitimate discourse. Pretty rare in this kind of thread, but it’s important.

I expected to at least see what number doubled in one year.

Those glass bottles used to cause an awful lot of horrific deaths and injuries during handling, so from a safety perspective, there is no desire at all to return to glass. Glass bottles are also much heavier than plastic, so have a commensurate environmental impact due to the increased consumption of fossil fuels for shipping as well. Fixing the problems with plastic was a big PR win and saved companies millions in law suits and shipping costs. They won’t go back to glass. The answer is probably re-usable plastic containers purchased by the customer and refilled at stores for the same price (or more) than when sold in disposable plastic packaging. Another PR win in the offing, no doubt.

Judging from the fact that this made world news, I have to admit it worked. A single post getting people angry about a fake cancer victim proved far more effective than any ad campaign I have ever seen for health awareness, and zero cost! I guess we only pay attention when we are outraged. Fair play, then.

And the thing your aunt gave you that you don’t know what it is.

I remember working that one out with my brothers. Every step you take just leads to further problems getting the fish. It was easy to figure out to put the towel over the perfectly towel-sized grate and hang your robe on the hook. Blocking the cleaning robot access panel with Ford’s satchel also seemed to make sense as well. But when we put the stack of junk mail on the satchel and it actually worked? Well holy shit, were we ecstatic. It opens up some of the best parts of the game, though I would argue not as much as figuring out how to get the spare improbability drive to work. I think one of my brothers bought that same guide book long after we retired the C64, so though he knew how to finish it, I don’t think any of us ever did. I remember getting to Magrathea and not ever being able to figure out the proper tool bit. Tried taking the proper tool, and storing another tool in the thing your aunt gave you, but never seemed to work.

Pavel Bure became a wizard?

Russia has been using low altitude approach and low altitude release with a quick pull up to lob the glide bombs in. The bombs have minimal range and accuracy, so Russia has just been throwing large bombs, and more recently, cluster bombs, to try their luck at hitting and damaging front line infantry positions. What they are doing works, is more effective than their artillery at killing Ukrainians, and has been going on for almost a year now with little to no reprisal from air defence. They aren’t going anywhere near 15km high, or forget Patriots, the Buks and S300s that Ukraine is comfortable keeping near enemy lines would hand them their asses.

From my understanding based on what I have read about the situation with the attacks on front line positions, they would need to move it further towards the enemy by about 10km past their lines to be able to pick up a plane flying just above the treetops to see it when it is within glide bomb launch range. I guess they could have given that a shot, but I am somewhat dubious.

They probably did the shooting down part, but something has changed. Russian pilots know how low they need to fly and how far away they need to be from the front to be able to launch 2000lb glide bombs at Ukrainian front line positions without being picked up by ground-based radar. And that has been stalling their offensive operations for a long while now. Ukraine didn’t extend their air defence by moving it forward. They must have done it by putting something in the air with a radar that can integrate with Western air defence systems. Being in the air instead of on the ground allows radar to see much further towards the horizon and suddenly the air defence can see into the dead area that starts about 30-40km behind enemy lines that the Russian planes have been operating in. This was one of the speculated roles of the F16s in Ukraine, and based on the reports of a sudden and precipitous drop in Russian glide bombing activity at the front due to their planes now being in missile range before they can attack, it wouldn’t surprise me if this is what has happened.

I thought it was putting grandma on speed dial

That’s a good point, and is probably why they designed it so that if you swerve hard, lane assist shuts off. It only nudges you back to the middle of the lane if you are gently drifting to a side, so it only works in situations where your turn signal can be used to avoid it. Or you can just disable it if you drive a BMW or otherwise can’t use turn signals.

Use your turn signal to indicate your direction change and it won’t do that.

37? In a row?

I thought lactic acid pain was something that only occured during intense workouts when your body could no longer meet the oxygen demand of the muscles, so they switch to anaerobic respiration to keep working. This creates lactic acid as a by product, which causes the burning sensation. This builds up quickly and intensely, and the body doesn’t keep it up for long, because you are pretty much gassed at the point that it starts. That pain also ends almost immediately after you stop and the muscles can get enough oxygen again. Lactic acid burn is very intense and goes away very quickly, which seems to mean the body can get rid of it fast, so I am not sure why anyone assumed that it somehow stuck around to start hurting again the day after a workout when you really start feeling those sore muscles. I guess this was a lay person belief? It seems like a scientist would have thought that if it was lactic acid that caused the pain, it would have been the source of the microtears and inflammation in the muscles, and that might have been a little harder to refute than detecting the lingering presence of lactic acid and blaming that for the pain.

If you create it by opening your text editor, the file won’t have a name until you save it (eg. New document.txt). Threads.net goes inside the new text file as the contents, and is not the filename. Then you save your new text document as the .csv filename, changing the extension from .txt to .csv.

She’s asian and was the only candidate with major name recognition in the race, so she was on cruise for the win since she threw her hat in the ring. She was a federally elected representative for a riding in Toronto for the better part of a decade, and was a city councillor for even longer, so she has significant experience. Time will tell if that matters. She is probably not going to be outed as a crackhead at the very least, and as a widow is also unlikely to get caught up in any extra-marital affairs, so baby steps forward for Toronto mayors.
