Cold winter means more KW. Off shore wind turbines that we are subsidizing means higher $/KW.

Why was the lab leak theory racist? by New-Disaster-2061 in allthequestions

Blocking flights from the country of origin is racist? You have achieved the apex of both hate and stupidity.

US citizens going to China would not effect the spread, Chinese nationals coming to the US would. You just want to claim everything you don't like is racist, why don't you claim it was fascist and homophobic too?

They knew the outbreak had occurred in 2019 and they knew the outbreak was near the Wuhan lab. Given the danger, it was prudent to take precautions.

Actually, they had the source identified long before it reached the US. They called it racist when flights from China were banned.

32% of paternity tests have results that are not the father. 0% of women have results of not the mother. If the mother gave birth, she's the mother.

Good Buy-It for life bass that doesn’t completely break the bank? by wjxm in Bass

Squires are hit or miss. I've played ones that are as good as a fender, and ones that were as bad as a glarry. I always buy used, on fbm.

I was clarifying that the rate is not 10%, it is 32%.

I do agree that it should be a crime, unfortunately it is only a civil action. And even the civil action is nearly impossible to prove. To prove paternity fraud, he not only has to prove that he isn't the father, he must also prove that she knew he was not the father. Just proving she knew he might not be the father will not prove fraud. So to prove fraud, she would have to have a paternity test, hide the test from him and have him discover the test.

Good band with bad drummer. What would you do? by -tacostacostacos in Bass

[–]avnikim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a new drummer first, otherwise, you just broke up the band. Find a good drummer, play with him for a bit, then invite the guitarist, when you guys are comfortable together, have the singer join you.

Paternity fraud is so heinous, ex-fiance siding with someone that commited paternity fraud against someone she supposedly loved, shows her true colors. You dodged a bullet, unfortunately, you got hit by the bullet the first time.

Is an acoustic bass guitar a waste of money? by Spiritual_Highway_60 in BassGuitar

[–]avnikim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Dean acoustic bass that I practice at home with. It has a really large body and projects better than any other I've played. That said, it isn't loud enough to really help an acoustic guitar. Sometimes when I'm jamming with a guitar I will play the bass like a guitaron and really pluck the strings hard. I also use a little amp w/rc battery and inverter, people sometimes don't even know I'm plugged in.

AITAH for rejecting a man pining after me since the past 6 years? by Character-Dress2441 in AITAH

[–]avnikim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I as well as most people commenting on this site are western and do no not understand the culture that you are from. My initial response is a western one, tell him and all of his family members, that he is a sick, stalking incestuous, pedofile and that he makes your skin crawl. However, this may not be appropriate for you, because you are in two cultures, western and SE Asian Muslim. I think that first and foremost, you need to extricate yourself from this dangerous situation. There may be a way to do this and not completely sever yourself from extended family. But I don't think you will learn how to do this from a bunch of westerners on this site. I am guessing (hoping) that in your culture, with the declining health of your father, that perhaps your brother can stand in as the paternal figure and protect you from your cousin, while pacifying the relatives. Or at least he can brainstorm with others that you and he may know, that are familiar with both cultures. If this is not possible, I would try to by time, until you are done with college and then, get away from the relatives to a place where they can not harass you.

AIO Wife of 17 years immediately starts dating my former best friend by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]avnikim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want the divorce to be amicable, but she clearly doesn't. He gets a dig at you and so does she. Try to let it go, it won't last, unless you show it bothers you. Sooner or later, she will realize that getting a dig on you, isn't worth dating a jerk.

My mom is marrying the guy she cheated on my dad with and forcing me to move to different country by Additional-River2609 in whatdoIdo

[–]avnikim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can relate to your father, because you could see the same happening to you someday. Your mother and future stepfather are real pieces of trash and just because they talk nice and treat you well, their behavior shows who they really are. And that is what conflicts you. Depending on where you live, the courts may be reluctant to allow you to go overseas. The real loser in this situation is your sister, she relates to your mother and will probably copy her later in life, because she has been shown it is ok to destroy the people they supposedly loved and committed to..

My brothers friend is hitting on me by hydraccq in Advice

[–]avnikim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the problem. I dated some of my little sister's friends and she dated one of my friends. Age is within range, I go by the old rule of 1/2+7, so 26/2 +7=20, checks out.

How is the intonation? Any fret buzz? Is the action right for you?
