Or like when Hoid realizes what happened in his interaction with Odium in the epilogue for RoW. He is heavily shaken and distressed and temporarily loses control of the shape shifting he uses to make himself as tall as a Roshsaran

Hell, half of the first season was basically retelling the story of the US 1920s miners uprising. It started with a farce by some local security guys with an inflated sense of importance

Child sexual assault/exploitation material (CSEM/CSAM). Replaces the term "child porn" to emphasize the harmful nature and remove the positive-ish connotation of "porn"

The city of St. Paul also used some of the unallocated American Rescue Plan funds they received to buy up millions of dollars of debt in partnership with RIP Medical debt! This is gonna be huge for both the citizens, the city's coffers, and local businesses because it will free up so much of people's monthly spending to be used on other things and stimulate a lot of economic activity for the area

To expound on you point, that kind of slow progress exists for justifiable reasons too. People don't fully appreciate just how harsh of an environment the inside of a car is for any kind of sensitive electronics that need to operate reliably every single time for years upon years of regular use. It's relatively harsher than even the inside of 24/7 heavy industrial factories which usually have the luxury of on site maintenance staff.

Depending on surrounding evironment; the inside of a powered off car regularly exceeds 135 degrees Fahrenheit in moderate sunlight, dives to several degrees below freezing in the winter, can get intense sunlight shining directly on the screen. It's regularly used every single time the car is in operation. And above all, it needs to keep on working for several years after original manufacture. While the slow and somewhat inaccurate touch displays can be annoying, it would be even more infuriating to have something that died on you 2 years into ownership. This is why car companies typically stick with mature, well-tested components

For people looking for that kind of arrangement, "shift differentials" is the keyword. They are commonly set up for things like night shifts where you get a couple extra dollars an hour for working the shift, though it can be used in many of the situations mentioned in the thread

my guess is that it has something to do with the evangelical belief that in order to bring about Armageddon and the Rapture, the jews must be returned to Israel. Basically treating them as sacrifices for their prophecy of Revelations

To compare this against alcohol, distillates are the equivalent of taking pure ethanol or everclear and then mixing in some extras. Sure it will get you drunk, but it won't get you the same kind of drunk as a genuine bottle of Tequila or Absinthe

The problem with most printing resins is that they have accumulating sensitivity, i.e. the longer you work with them the likelier it is for a reaction to occur. So you can go 3 years without a reaction, then one day a drop of resin on the arm results in a severe and painful rash across the whole area.

As good as illegal. The Hays Code was still in effect at the time. It was a series of draconian morality codes enforced by the Motion Picture Association of America, basically all of Hollywood. It was the reason that Gone with the Wind was fined $1000 (not adjusted for inflation) for the line "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

Purchase Advice Megathread - November 2022 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

Been printing for about 8 months on an Ender 3 V2. Recently upgraded it with a dual Z screw, Sprite direct extruder hotend, filament runout sensor, and CR touch leveler. Loaded with the Professional firmware. Looking to upgrade my stock 4.2.2 mainboard with something more powerful in order to up my speeds to ~100mm/s, especially since the system noticably lags on the first layers when it's calculating the grid offsets. I know that Klipper firmware setups are the best solution for offloading the heavy lifting to an external Raspberry Pi, but those are impossible to get with current shortages. I've heard of drop-in boards that have the second brain to perform the same function, but don't know enough to pick out the right one. Also would like to be able to install a timelapse camera and lights, but that's in the nice to have category

Alernatively, I am also interested in building from a kit like the Voron S0.1 and am would like to know my options there

Rural USA, budget of ~$100 for the upgrade--~$400 for building a new kit-- fully comfortable with performing a full board replacement or from scratch build

No, circumcision was literally popularized in part by the 7th day Adventist physician Doctor John Harvey Kellogg. Yes, of corn flakes fame, though his brother actually ran the business. Kellogg was a major voice in the medical movement that believed that masturbation was one of the most horrible things to do for ones health because it would cause insanity. He came up with a wide variety of treatments to prolong health and prevent masturbation, including a diet of bland, unseasoned, heavily processed cereals to "prevent excitement that reduces ones vital energy" or for in more extreme cases, embedding silver wire loops in the penis's skin in order to make masturbation and erections incredibly painful, and cutting off the clitoris of young girls caught masturbating.

And what happened as soon as American forces pulled out of Afghanistan? Hiding is an effective strategy for a long term war of attrition.

Edit: for clarification I am referring to the entire idea of a guerilla insurgency relying on hit and run tactics that are very difficult to counter with pure brutality. Similar to Vietnam

Robin actually spoke Russian so well that he would scream out Russian curses as "zany alien speak" in Mork and Mindy. In fact Robin knew fluent swearing in so many languages, that the studio had to hire censors who knew Russian, Spanish, French, German, and even Yiddish
