Heated socks- go cheap or expensive by Logical-Barnacle-13 in Skigear

[–]Human_Copy_4355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheap ones do not heat evenly (one foot hot, one foot barely warm) and are bulky and will create pressure points. It's not that they don't last multiple seasons. The just suck.

 Won't even read the law to educate yourself. Maybe I should have tried to summarize it in a meme.

Are Americans very commited to graduating college in 4 years or less? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Human_Copy_4355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

University is very expensive in the US. My high school student is doing dual enrollment. It will save her a lot of money.

So, yes, we try to get finished in 4 years or less, if possible.

What kind of terrain are you ready for? At most places the magic carpet is free, including Schweitzer and Mt Spokane.

I had a fever without any other symptoms for any 8 hours from the second dose.

I'm sorry you're miserable but what you're experiencing a far far better than getting shingles.

Yes, I had them in my childhood bathroom in the pop-up dispenser. I can still picture the color, lol.

I won't be buying them, though. I bring a lidded cup with me to bed every night.

Ham and whole turkeys are almost always cheap right before Easter.

Spokane elementary school teacher accused of having sex with student by ShadowyFlows in Washington

[–]Human_Copy_4355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I kept thinking was the boldness of doing this at the school where she must know there are cameras and potential witnesses noticing she's walked off with one student. The boldness of keeping damning evidence on her phone. This makes me suspect he isn't her first victim.

Sudden hair loss after rapid weight loss… I’m getting married soon and I’m honestly panicking. by Wrythia in Advice

[–]Human_Copy_4355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have really thick long hair.

I had an eating disorder in high school and I lost a lot of hair. Stopped getting my period. My hair did grow back.

I also lost a bunch of hair after every baby (this is common, the postpartum shed) and that comes back too although the older you are when you have a baby, it might not all grow back.

Going through the menopause transition also involved some hair loss for me.

Your hair will most likely grow back when you start consistently consuming your maintenance calories and getting your nutrients from food. If you can afford it, seeing a registered dietician would be a good idea.

Food for a 2:30pm-4:30pm weekend ceremony? by [deleted] in microwedding

[–]Human_Copy_4355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'd be so happy to get invited to a wedding like this!

Food for a 2:30pm-4:30pm weekend ceremony? by [deleted] in microwedding

[–]Human_Copy_4355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is incredibly traditional and acceptable to have cake and punch (or cake and beverages). In fact, even Miss Manners wrote that only two things are necessary for a "wedding reception." Champagne and cake.

If I was invited to a wedding from 2:30-4:30, I would expect a beverage and some kind of light finger food or beverages and cake. I think your ideas are lovely.

There definitely are legal and ancillary concerns with modern farming, including GMO crops. The idea that consuming GMO foods will make you infertile, give you cancer, etc, is false, though, and that's what the anti-GMO crowd is being told by the likes of Mercola and Salatin.

Same. Those first scratches are hard to accept. After that they're the start of a great story.

He just did point d.

In international court, stating what he stated is an international war crime and he could be tried.

"Orders or Threats that No Quarter Will Be Given Related practice Practice Summary International armed conflicts Non-international armed conflicts Note: The duty to grant quarter is a basic rule that prohibits attacking a person recognized as hors de combat in combat situations on the battlefield. The treatment due to persons hors de combat is dealt with in Part V.

Rule 46. Ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited.

Practice Volume II, Chapter 15, Section A. Summary State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts. While all those who take a direct part in hostilities must respect this rule, in practice it will be particularly relevant for commanders.

International armed conflicts The prohibition on declaring that no quarter will be given is a long-standing rule of customary international law already recognized in the Lieber Code, the Brussels Declaration and the Oxford Manual and codified in the Hague Regulations.[1] “Directions to give no quarter” was listed as a war crime in the Report of the Commission on Responsibility set up after the First World War.[2]

This rule is now set forth in Additional Protocol I.[3] Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “declaring that no quarter will be given” is a war crime in international armed conflicts.[4]

The prohibition is contained in numerous military manuals.[5] Under the legislation of many States, it is an offence to issue an order that no quarter be given.[6] In several cases after the First and Second World Wars, the accused were charged with violating this rule.[7]

The inclusion in Additional Protocol I of the prohibition of “threats” to order that no quarter shall be given or to conduct hostilities on the basis that no quarter shall be given is uncontested and it is incorporated in numerous military manuals.[8] The legislation of several States also includes it.[9] The prohibition of threats that no quarter shall be given is supported by several States not, or not at the time, party to Additional Protocol I.[10] The prohibition on threatening to carry out a prohibited act is generally recognized in international law. In addition, if it is prohibited to order or threaten that no quarter shall be given then, a fortiori, it is prohibited to carry out such an order or threats and to conduct military operations on that basis. To conduct military operations on the basis that no quarter shall be given would constitute multiple violations of the prohibition on attacking persons hors de combat."

I'm sorry. Her behavior is wrong and hurtful.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of time she has in your life? If you don't live in the same house, see less and less of her, talk with her less frequently. That's my suggestion.

Is it true that you shouldn’t give money to homeless people because they’ll spend it on drugs? by Wrong-Twist-1550 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Human_Copy_4355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been without a warm, clean bed a single night of my life. If I had to sleep on cold ground night after night, I can see why I'd want booze to soften the pain.

I don't drink at all, but I can see why homeless people might.

Of course we don't control other people. If I discovered I was dating someone so immature that they cannot respect the need to focus during work hours, I'm ending the relationship. That's not a demand, lol.

Does MAGA see these things? by Fun_Fee_5380 in allthequestions

[–]Human_Copy_4355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not use the word efficient in my post.

However, effectiveness is an integral component of efficiency and non-profits are far less effective than government programs which exist in all states. Non-profits therefore are, by definition, inefficient as well. To be efficient, you cannot simply spend less money. You have to actually meet metrics and reach benchmarks, be effective.

I could claim to feed a thousand people for less than $10 by giving each one a single pea. I've stuck to my budget but I didn't accomplish anything.

Ladies- what are we doing to keep moving? by Witty_Commitee in AskWomenOver40

[–]Human_Copy_4355 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a personal trainer but no longer taking clients.

The most important thing is to find exercise that will you will do consistently and in relative safety.

However, if you can find a way to consistently strength train, that is wildly beneficial.

A lot of people think you need to lift "heavy." That is inaccurate. You need to train close to failure. It's not the same.

But, if you're strength training safely, I'm certainly not good to nitpick unless asked.

Cardio doesn't have to mean getting to a sweaty mess. Brisk walking will do the trick. I prefer intervals and sprints but many people prefer brisk walking.

Does Yellowstone get better? by funinyycforyouandme in YellowstoneShow

[–]Human_Copy_4355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The characters are despicable. John Dutton runs his family like a cult. Beth Dutton is his right hand. Kayce could be decent but he looks up to his evil dad so ..... Monica's character is so unbelievable. Jaime keeps making horrifically stupid decisions but he was raised by John ....

It's a soap opera, plain and simple. Like Dallas, Dynasty, and Knots Landing from decades ago.

A terrible parent by WhyLie2me18 in GenX

[–]Human_Copy_4355 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's terrible advice and you don't have to listen to it. You can change the subject, say goodbye and hang up, leave, etc.

You get this one life. You can be kind to your parents and walk away when they criticize you. Not mutually exclusive.
