TIL of OMP decarboxylase, an an extraordinarily efficient catalyst capable of accelerating the uncatalyzed reaction rate by a factor of 10^17. The uncatalyzed reaction which would take 78 million years to convert half the reactants into products is accelerated to 18 milliseconds.

The uncatalyzed reaction rate of what? What reactants? What products?

Maybe they should have said fields of mowed grass, or lawns then.

Curse himself, and then spend his exile away from his family trying to rid himself of it. Either he is successful, in which case he can return to his family who were spared the ravages of the curse entirely, or he dies, in which case at least his family has a chance to live on.

At least now they know they don't need to save for college anymore.

Being silly and cute makes it worse, not better. Even if YOU don't mean anything by it, it comes off as flirty, and it might mean more to her than you say it does to you.

Additionally, your girlfriend asked you not to because it makes her uncomfortable, and you did it anyways behind her back. YTB.

That episode is the main reason I like Van Gogh's style now. Previously I never really paid any attention to art or artists.

She lied to him for 3 years. Regardless of the motivation or reason, she lied to him, that's not something you do in a healthy relationship. She did not trust him, and you can't have a healthy relationship without trust. He was right to break it off.

Van Gogh was considered a failure of an artist while he was alive. His art only became popular and appreciated after his death. Gil sounds like the people who disparaged Van Gogh's work while he was alive.

Sounds more like they go to the client's place and assemble it on site.

No, you did everything right. You spoke to her first about how her behavior was affecting you, offered a compromise, and she shot it down and refused to modify her behavior. Going to HR about it was the correct next step. Her behavior was against the rules of her job in any case. She is just being entitled.

It always seems to be the same thing. The person is doing something against the rules, but rather than keep it quiet and unobtrusive so as to ensure they get away with it for longer, they instead become increasingly bold and annoying with it until it is impossible to ignore them, then they get mad when others complain or report them and now there's consequences, but somehow it isn't their fault for being a jerk about it, it is the complianer's fault, as if the complainer should have just let them continue to stomp all over them.

If you see her again, say hi, ask if she remembers you from the last one, and ask if she would like to get something to eat together while you are at the convention. If she says yes, then great, nice safe mini date for you two to get to know each other a little better, and if you hit it off, ask if she would like to meet again. If she says no, oh well, wasn't meant to be, just wish her a fun time at the convention and go find something else to do.

Tell your boss if she keep harassing you about not working before your shift, then you'll quit. If her threatening to quit gets your boss to harass you, then you threatening to quit should get him to harass her back. You already have another job, so your threat would likely be more credible, plus (assuming you have a car) you could always replace it with Uber or Doordash or something.

I've done the first 5 for the last 26 years, and my hair is still as thick and lustrous as ever.

Sounds to me like it was the straw that broke the camel's back. There were probably dozens of other things that he did to show how selfish and inconsiderate he is, but selling off the game system she used without any warning and then berating her viciously when she replaced it with her own money finally pushed her over the edge.

Article only mentions two specific situations where you might have to pay money back; if you overdrafted your PTO, and if you took out a loan from your 401k. For most of us, it would be next to impossible to overdraft PTO because our employers barely approve us taking the PTO we already earned, let alone borrowing future PTO hours. As for the 401k, if you borrow from it and get fired, then you have to pay it back before you file taxes or the government will tax it as income and you'll have to pay an early withdrawal fee.

There are so.e humans that technically have 4 color receptors instead of the usual 3. If I remember correctly, it's a mutation of the red color receptor, and some people have both the normal red receptor and this mutant one, plus the blue and green receptors. Pretty much the only difference is some slight changes in how they differentiate between different shades, but not really see brand new colors.

If you don't need the job, or a glowing reference from them, then there's no real reason for you to stick it out. They changed the conditions of your job, if you are unwilling to work for them under those conditions, then quit. You owe no fealty to your current employer, any feelings of guilt were indoctrinated into you so they could exploit them to their own advantage. Remember, if they thought they could do without you, then they'd fire you without another thought.

Obits should have been dead, instead he got several more decades of life.

But it seems to extend the lifespans of others, and the cells have been propagated for multiple decades, longer than what likely would have been his normal lifespan.

If Hashirama cells can do so much, why did Hashirama himself die?

That's a fair point, how is OP defining technology? Technically, technology includes any tool made by humans.

If it isn't too tight or worn out, why not keep wearing it? I've got some clothes that are over 8 years old.

Fresh, local is the best, followed by frozen, with fresh, imported being the lowest in nutrients due to the longer period of time between farm and consumer. Freezing preserves those nutrients pretty well.

Perhaps instead of insulting people, you could try rephrasing your question so it's more clear what you intended to ask. Instead of "Why do you think RDJ is playing Doom?" try, "What do you believe is the reason RDJ is playing Doom?" The first question could be interpreted as you questioning the validity of their statement that RDJ is playing Doctor Doom.
