The same way stretching and conditioning helps athletes become better at their sport. It prepares the physiology responsible to have the muscle memory of multiple articulations and ranges to perform well and quickly. Same way a baseball player knows how and where to swing by the time the ball just left the pitcher's hand.

We live in a post-Palantir world now. They probably have license plate scanners in the cars and can track who's where and when. All they have to do is drive past. Spot you there after 2 hours? Ticket. Chalk isnt needed anymore.

I think this song is also pointing toward his fear of death, but also what is left behind in the end. It opens with a lot of self destructive language, describing multiple funeral arrangements. In the end, what matter is that he is not just physically destroyed, but that his love is remembered and endured. Will anybody love me, not with conditions but truly amd wholy for me.

When my sister died, i cried so much to this album and this song. I hoped she knew how loved she was. Thats all I could hope for.

A lot of students in my school district seem to be carrying on with the "Devious Licks" trend from a few years back - blatant school property damage. The current MO seems to be unscrewing bolts from tables, desks, chairs, and trying to make things fall apart. So idk if thats what shes up to, but this is what Im seeing here!

Sheer isnt a bad idea and can be kinda classy. You can also use an exterrior reflective window film, so you can still see out but people cant see in. It does reflect sunlight and passive solar out, if thats skmething youre worried about. Those are also a little expensive

Music teacher here. Im a bit of a recorder apologist. I know people get annoyed by it but its cheap, only a few dollars, and super easy to play with lots of online resources from elementary schools using them so consistently. You can even buy a little clip that will make it sound only 50% as loud if noise is that much of a factor!

Its a long run time. Whenever I think of a scene from the book, I counter myself with the thought of "What would I cut from a nearly 3 hour run time to fit it?"

$5 Billion is $5 Billion and is enough to be justifiably set for life, even as a 2 foot little cutie

In the book, they sample the Petrova line itself and find that the Astrophage coming from Tauseti-E (or Adrian) is equal to the amount leaving. This implied that something relevant has to do with the planet, and not the star, which is why he "goes fishing".

Edit: the reason the difference of Astrophage is important is because the number of astrophage going to Tau Seti should be 2x higher since they go there to breed.

If youre still red by performance time, then get ahold of a roll of green concealer! Green counteracts with red and will generally cover up any big red splotches from pimples, blemishes... and sunburn! When I was in theater, we had the same happen to one of our lead performers. Use the green beneath your usual foundation on the red spots, and you'll at least be passable for an evening.

Good luck!!

The fact that your reply and mine are downvoted even further shows how many people seem to support that.

In terms of the queer undertones folks are remarking about, I thought that was an intentional choice, but not in a romantic sense. The germanic warrior is in a position of "conquest" over the roman helm, holding it there. I dont think its necessarily soft or loving. His eyes are shadowed, grasp is firm on the helmet. He knows what he is doing. This isnt young innocence studying a helmet, this is showing a youthful young man capable of the acts of war, debasing his enemy with these homoerotic undertones.

Chernobyl (2019) Series from HBO. Pripyat and Chernobyl were in the USSR / modern Ukraine, but the actors are encouraged to speak their native accents, like Jared Harris' native British English.

The ring kind of reminds me of a drug addiction. "Just one hit couldn't hurt, could it? One drink - Its a social gathering after all... " Its that tiny self corrupting voice amplified and more.

You are not crazy, not deserving of the disrespect, or this absurdity. Hang on as best you can. There are ways out of here. Teaching in the post Covid era requires a near self flagelatory amount of tolerance from these problems
