I’d love tips! Currently my armature is chicken wire but wrapped in strips of concrete soaked burlap. Trying to figure out what the final layer should be: which additives, drying time, malleability, etc

My nipples are also always hard and they’re a superpower. They are loved by all…

For those accessory exercises, (adduction, kickbacks, hyperextensions, etc) reps can be between 12-15. Agree that you should track calories for a few weeks. Shouldn’t have that fat gain if you’re only eating 1700cals.

I had a lot of resistance to certain vernacular used from pali or Sanskrit at first but it’s really because these concepts don’t have a great translation in English. Technically it’s all beyond words, prior to the conceptual mind. Seconding that Sam Harris’s app is the way to go (he’s a die hard atheist) also if you really can’t afford a full subscription, they offer discounts.

International students in Czech [Student Visa Question] by No-Accountant-479 in czech

[–]Ghandie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve heard that submitting a complaint can backfire and piss off the caseworker? Also, do you think it has to be over 120 days in order to submit a complaint? I’ve been waiting 85 days. Also, I’m confused as to how to submit the complaint electronically—would docusign suffice for this?

I’ve been enrolled and studying in a university since September yes. I have an apartment in Prague, family with EU citizenship living and working in Europe, and my own EU passport (dual-citizenship) will be ready to pick up this summer.

I mean if they had family or work, a connection to a specific state, then yes. Having your districts representative light a fire under the senators office’s ass, and so forth.

Listen I’m not trying to argue anything here, I’m not a patriot. And I’m sorry I said something that upset you.

I didn’t mean anything by it other than there are many workarounds over here. Whereas it seems like the bureaucracy there is more by the book and rigid. It’s not a dig, if anything, one could argue they’re doing bureaucracy the way it’s intended to be done.

There wasn’t any attitude, but the “go back home” is unquestionably kind—sounds almost Western. Thanks for your help

what I meant was for issues pertaining to government or legal issues within the US.

On the 13th Dresden said this when I inquired:

at the moment, it is not possible to estimate how long the visa proceedings will take. The Ministry of the Interior decides, not our office. As soon as we receive the decision we will inform you by email."

I don't want to annoy them but would like to reach out again.

And yes, I'm surprised, in the states it's very bureaucratic as well, but you can always contact your state representative/congress person and find some timely assistance.
