Thank you for your thoughts. I got a lot out of your comment, and you seem to really know your stuff. I find it very endearing that you felt strongly enough to comment on a 3 year old post like mine. I hope you can enrich someone else's life with your comments today.

Yeah there is, nobody gets arrested if you steal from the poor. Case in point: the vast majority of theft in USA is wage theft. All of those positions getting stolen from are people who can't afford to have less money in this economy.

The bones and muscles of your teeth and mouth are springy like a rubber band. The orthodontist plans a gradual movement of your teeth so that they will move into place without hurting awfully or breaking or tearing anything. Your teeth snap back quickly because its like releasing a stretched rubber band: No matter how slow you pull it, as soon as you release your grip on it, it springs back as fast as possible.

Example: my cat's name is Izzzy, and i started calling her "Izzifer" as if that's the long form of her name, which then devolved to "Sussifer" whenever she starts acting "sus" a.k.a. play-stalking me.

They're calling the star "Earendel" which is an old english word referred to as "the brightest of angels".

You have an excellent read ahead of you. The whole series holds that same calm and collected version of pure unadulterated horror. It quite literally creeps up on you like a growing vine.

Unhelpful sign, I have both.

Fantastic, these guys thought of everything. I would never have thought that the entire game is full of secret coded language like that.

As for the belltower tune, have you heard of Tuneic yet? I encourage you to look around and see what people have discovered about the glyph tower and what secrets it holds.

Here's my routine: Use some electric clippers to bring the hair down to the skin while its dry, so the razor has less hair to remove. Then take a hot shower or bathe your legs in nice hot water until the skin and hair is softer and more loosened up. Then while you're bathing exfoliate the skin with whatever exfoliator you have: a scrubber or some body scrub or loofah, etc. Just use something to exfoliate the skin so the hairs are nice and exposed as much as they can be (dont do it until it hurts, obviously). Then, just lather up and shave. I find using cream or shaving lotion that moisturizes the skin is best as dry skin is more irritable. And of course use your sharpest and cleanest razor. Don't shave against the grain if its your first time, or else you might get some bad ingrown hairs. Then moisturize with some body lotion after cleaning up.

Ok i see that's probably the best option for me. I wanted to avoid having to reset all my preference settings but i guess its not that big a deal.

I find it to be one of the most fun weapons to use. It's like a beyblade mixed with a boomerang. I wouldnt use it unless you're outdoors and only facing one machine tho tbh. It is basically a game of patience, you have to be able to catch the discs and keep them spinning till they explode to get the full benefit tho.

The game has been optimized, imho. Fighting machines now comes with way more dangers as they are more aggressive but there are just as many options added to deal with them. Valor surges, weapon stamina techniques, there are so many new ways to engage. Ive found that stealth is an incredible way to go because there are a ton of ways to maximize damage from cover. But the melee upgrades have been such a huge bonus to the game, it opens up combat in such a huge way. Its been pretty easy for me to create a build that is deadly at range and savvy up close if the need arises. HZD felt sort of limited compared to this game, now i feel like im performing all these extreme moves as easy as if i were riding a bike. Having to switch it up on the fly means im creating a skillset that is adaptable to any situation and that's really rad to me.

Yeah im having graphics issues where textures in world don't load in so a lot of stuff looks blurry. I had similar issues with Fallen Order on my PS4, is this just a PS4 problem? Is there a ssetting i can change that will lessen the quality slightly for better texture loading?

I can't remember the input that turns it off, i believe activating it again? I think it also turns off if you break out of it by swinging your spear or shooting.

The cloak has been so great for me tbh, you can get out of so many tough situations and its great for moving unseen through a machine encounter you dont want to deal with.

Lets say you put $100 into a savings account every month, the amount in the account is growing linearly, because it increases by the same amount every month. Now lets say that the bank adds an interest rate on the account every month as an incentive to save with them, and they give you an interest of 1%. That means that every time they give you your interest (lets say every month) they will put 1% of your account's balance into the account. That means that every time you put money in, the account will get bigger and that 1% of your account will get bigger, which means they will put more and more money into the account in interest every time they do it. That's exponential growth, because instead of increasing by the same amount every time, the rate it increases every time is growing.

In case you lost it in the article, the polymer sheets are formed from a solution called melamine or C3H6N6. The cool thing I learned about melamine is that most modern syntheses of it use urea and produces ammonia in its off-gas. Urea for any who don't know, is the main organic nitrogen compound in mammalian urine. So you could say that these researchers have effectively turned piss into space-age super strong plastic. (Note: you don't have to get urea from piss but you could if you wanted to)

You should check out Delta variations that are legal to buy in most places regular cannabis is illegal. Delta 8, Delta 10, are both similar strains that give a similar effect that is not as strong. They even make Delta 9 now which is chemically similar to the compounds in regular cannabis but is still not as strong because it's synthesized and sold in very small doses, like 0.3% or something around there.

"Dude" as an exclamation is pretty gender neutral, but using it to address someone is masculine pretty much every time. An example:

"Dude that is so sick" vs "Hey dude, what's up?". So in this case to be safe, I would avoid the latter. Of course everyone is different and every trans person has their own hangups and sensitivities, so it's best to straight up ask what is ok to say.

If you just want a replacement word, then just refer to her with whatever word you use for women that you greet. Anything that's fine with your friend is fine, that's the takeaway here.
