So, what you are implying is that anyone who was ever affiliated with gang activity is a lost cause. And, who could never provide invaluable moral guidance to help improve a city in a much less aggressive, mentor-like capacity.

Do you also think that the idea of reform while under lock up (where the majority of tattooing comes from) isn’t possible? Maybe we should execute all criminals, right?

Sounds like you’ve lived a very sheltered life and have no idea what really goes on, aside from what is on the news. Sometimes people get involved with gangs (incl. in incarceration) as it may be one of the only methods of survival available to them. You just can’t judge by appearance alone.

Oh, and heads up. The comment about tattoos was indeed what Maggoty mentioned, and about the generality of them, and not specifically about the guy from the OP.

There’s actually a large portion of really good officers that are all tatted up. It all depends on the content, how they get presented, and how the person carries themselves.

They could be from from the military and the officer is an experienced veteran. Law enforcement tends to be a common occupation after discharge, especially as they’re usually immune to acorns.

They could also be someone who grew up on the “wrong” side and eventually found their way out. Now, they want to improve their old stomping grounds and help other at-risk kids find their own path.

It could be…

Most areas in the US have that as a building code violation for the safety issue of it. Usually, there’s a “first” when any regulation regarding inherent safety is created.

That gif is when you are trying to get out a fat log after being constipated for a week.

Wouldn’t this do the same thing in humans?

I figured as much. Just wanted to give some suggestions if you ever were interested in going down that route again.

Being less than couple hours from Napa Valley, I do definitely get the appeal of a good wine though. I, myself prefer them over beer in most cases too.

The problem is, is the craft beer industry is obsessed with hops and the different varieties. Since IPAs are one of the most hopped beers, they took it and ran with it, all the while going down the rabbit hole of adding more and more hops. (akin to a child learning to cook by adding continually dumping in different spices to try to balance out the others) playing with the mixture of hop varieties. Most of them are also brewed to be drunk close to 0C which lightens its bitterness a bit. Though, fruit-infused and some hazy ones can sometimes have that bitterness work in their favor.

The next time you are in the US and you are still curious, while not to common, look more towards the porter/stout side. The coffee ones tend to be really good along with the more niche bourbon-barrel aged stouts. Fruity wheat beers can be a hit-or-miss with some being hopped more than others, but there is a good portion which are really good; sour ales having the same issue. Craft lagers could be another, but are almost non-existent due to how it’s brewed.

Now, did she say Jesus as an exclamation, or that she was directing her comment to him?

Same with talking to yourself

He did it for a two-fer. He educated the general public …and handed eloin his ass.

They haven’t left, they just chum the water a bit and sit back and enjoy the show.

With hard vacuum though, I believe I remember you may get a couple seconds of consciousness before you pass out from the stress. (unless it’s explosive which could knock you out instantly) You should usually get a couple minutes without any permanent injuries before death from asphyxiation. Any injuries would more or less be your larynx and eardrums, both from air getting rapidly pushed out. To minimize it you would need to be actively exhaling while opening the tubes to your ears (what you do when popping them) which will allow air to escape less forcefully.

Emboli and frostbite will however happen towards the end of those minutes. But with us being mostly a mix of liquids and solids, (with dissolved gasses) which take time to sublimate, (evaporation in a vaccum) no insta-freeze or red mist.

They’re using full disk encryption, which won’t let any part of it be read (even its partition table to boot the OS) until a password is entered. A system using FDE will go straight from POST to a password prompt.

A lot of people like FDE as it makes the encryption completely invisible to the OS and would normally have zero compatibility issues be problem-free.

A router would be different though. It would keep the same radius regardless of building geometry as it’s signal degrades with physical distance from its antenna.

A dehumidifier works by running air through it and removing moisture then exhausting the now dry air out. The dry air would then intermix back into the room’s air, lowering it’s total humidity level. It may take a little more time based on the turbidity of the rooms air, but a dehumidifier would have the capacity to dry a .25x20x24m the same as a 3x5x8m room as both contain the same amount of air in their 120m³.

Edit: added units

Part of the reasoning is that dust can’t really settle on the contacts if they are facing down. It’s the same for the most part with rj45 (ethernet) ports.

Could be, though I’ve heard people use plug interchangeably.

Connections for data, the female side is usually called a port; for electrical, it’s officially called a receptacle, though more commonly called an outlet or sometimes a socket. The male side is always the plug.

Can’t forget about peppers

None that I know of. I think the OC was just mocking a bit on how some people can get so bent out of shape when the word is used colloquially.

My understanding is its similar in difference to a protostar and a nova

Dude… That’s even worse

If the universe is cyclic, then that would define it as a closed loop without any energy being removed or added. The very first instance of yourself traveling through time would break the loop by removing themselves from their iteration of the universe and reinsert into a future iteration. During those two points, the universe would now function with a deficit. This deficit could affect how it cycles to subsequent iterations.

What if that discrepancy in energy affects when the universe starts to contract or it’s speed to the big crunch/bang and subsequently the time to, and speed of expansion. Maybe it could even prevent the big crunch from reaching critical mass, where it would normally trigger a big bang, and stop the cycle altogether.
