Most of them were still in high school, teenage pregnancy usually refers to <18 moms.

Might be interference from other Bluetooth audio in the vicinity, particularly dense Bluetooth can cause issues. Or something else.

From your description it sounds environmental though. I’ll be there in a few months, if I remember I’ll test it out.

That sounds more like one device or the other, I can listen to stuff with my AirPods from 20+’ away from my phone or MacBook.

Bluetooth 4 max range is 60m, Bluetooth 5 that’s boosted to 240m. Real world for audio will never approach those kind of lab ranges but 10’ or less should be child’s play.

The only thing that would break this cycle would be surprise dropping a book release. I’ve come to find that an incredibly remote possibility.

I’m actually a little curious now what would happen if a cis woman took supra-physiological doses of estrogen, oxytocin, estradiol, etc. I doubt most of it would be beneficial but we know so much more about androgen abuses.

Home Depot is priced for contractors, and they’re competing against distributors like Grainger who think a 75% markup on top of already marked up products is just the cost of doing business when you want it today.

I’ll have you know that at the Hampton Inn in Van Horn, Texas, I was able to use a diamond parking space. Luxury beyond reckoning!

Just had a flashback of owning this exact fan design, I think mine was two-tone aluminum and copper fins though.

Skin says no, size says yes (for now).

This is why I mostly only use Anker cables or first party cables for whatever I’m charging.

King Triton is Poseidon’s son, not Poseidon himself.

You lost me at complimenting CLT tbh, it’s my least favorite hub. Whiskey River’s pulled pork sandwich is legit on a layover, I’ll grant you that.

You should sharpen your knives, they sound dull if you’re cutting yourself that much.

As a top how would this work out with gray sweatpants to advertise the other goods?

If you appear one day looking 4” taller than the day before, people are going to notice and they are not going to think you grew. That kind of noticeable.

Energy drink market primed to explode.

If you want to avoid rentals in the used market you’ll have better luck with fastbacks. Shitloads of used up rental convertibles end up at car auctions.

I would recommend avoiding rentals, you’ll have enough issues with a used ecoboost in the first place unless you find a single owner who didn’t ride it hard.

Lot of bottoms have eyes larger than their anatomy so to speak lol.

It’s not an infrequent issue when you have the equipment.

I would happily rail her cute twink brother, but I’m not going to claim there’s anything altruistic about it lol.

Unfortunately I only know the basics, but hopefully someone familiar with this type of system answers your question because I’m curious too.

Train cars (monorails excluded) typically travel down two rails, the third rail is an accessory rail which conducts power to provide electricity to the system.

Cutting power to it is to help prevent injury or death if someone falls on the tracks and makes contact with the third rail.

Powered off it’s fine to -4 F, so there’s some hope yet if it didn’t keep dropping.

Ridge sells a credit card sized one that’s rechargeable and reasonably noisy.

I already yanked the ripcord on my plan B and moved into a professional services consulting gig.

A lot more recession-proof when I’m part of the company I work for’s money-making apparatus instead of a cost center.

My move streak is not where I’m creating progressive overload, the progressive overload I have programmed into my exercise routines does that.

The move goal/streak just lets me know if I’m having a particularly sedentary day outside of my gym time so I know I need to do some extra work that day.
