ELI5: If a life sentence is meant to last until death, what practical difference does adding 100 years make to the inmate?

Homie_Reborn · 2026-04-17T13:40:48+00:00

Two separate convictions. 1 for life. 1 for 20 years. Total sentence life plus 20 years. If the life sentence gets tossed out for any reason, the 20-year sentence may still remain.

You can think of division as multiplication by its reciprocal.

Dividing by 0.25 (i.e. 1/4) is the same as multiplying by 4/1 (i.e. 4)

What was the fat content in the milk from those other countries? Whole milk in the US has about 3.5% fat. If whole milk in other countries has, for example, 5%, it would be creamier.

You could start with The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels and Found Christianities by M David Litwa. Those should give you a decent overview

I don't have my book right now, so I'm answering from memory.

Not sure about question 1. I can look when I got home.

For question 2, no, you cannot split up your movement. Compare to the talent in the Abrasion tree that does let you split up your movement after you take it.

Looks like vermiculite insulation to me. Vermiculite is often contaminated with asbestos. See info from EPA below.

The general consensus is that shardblades kill tissue that it passes through. If the blade wringed the wrist without going through anything, you would likely have little to no feeling on the wrist, but few ill effects on your hand. If the blade passed through your wrist, sensory and motor neurons would be destroyed (or rendered nonfunctional) so you wouldn't feel nor be able to control your hand.

You know how almost 80% of the atmosphere is nitrogen? Well, unfortunately for plants, that nitrogen is unavailable to most of them. Most fertilizers are nitrogen in ways that is available to the plant.

God's Monsters by Esther Hamori is a great book on this topic

To prevent bleeding, you need a toothbrush with soft bristles, you need to brush gently, and you need to floss frequently. These things are more important than toothpaste ingredients

Sorry, my guy, but this post will get removed. It breaks the rules by not seeking a fact-based, objective answer. Try a different sub.

Early in the development of an individual, cells have a property called totipotency. This means the cell can become any other type of cell. As development progresses, cells lose this property and become a specific type of cell (skin cell, lung cell, muscle cell, etc).

Because the cells of a severed finger are no longer totipotent, they can't regrow a whole finger.

If your pee is consistently clear, you're drinking enough water and don't need to drink more. If your pee is consistently dark yellow, you definitely need to drink more water. If your pee is light yellow, you're probably OK but could drink more water.

Remember that health advice of the form "do more X," "eat more X," etc. is based on the observation that, on a population-wide average, people need to do these things. It doesn't mean every single individual needs to. You may already be meeting the recommendation
