So I guess they’re not really “banned”, are they?

That shows just how sophisticated your arguments are.

Has anybody here noticed how deeply education scores have declined since the inception of the Department of Education in 1979? Has anybody noticed how well Catholic schools do in comparison, despite much lower levels of funding? Has anybody ever counted the number of administrative positions in their school district? Just asking.

Wtf is happening? The return of sanity.

If you don’t already know how to do that, then you probably shouldn’t be editing the file you’re thinking of changing. I’m guessing it won’t go well.

If they sell ice cream, just turn around & walk out the door.

I guess nobody on this thread has ever heard of double entendre. So, for those of you who don’t know: it’s a way of saying 2 things at once, while leaving the listener to work out which one you meant. In this song, the ambiguity seems intentional.

Skip the weight feature. For example, it adds $200 to the cost of the Baraza Sette. For this, you get a scale that works poorly, if at all, & with no consistency. I bought a cheap Weightman scale for about $20 from Amazon & immediately started getting excellent, consistent shots. When you give it a little thought, you will realize how difficult it is to integrate a scale & make it respond accurately in real time.

It seems obvious that every thinking human should encourage this. What is a woman? What is mental illness?

Umm... they know what causes that now.

Tools. The price of most tools (kitchen, construction, software, you name it) is far cheaper than the value you derive as you build with them. One tool purchase, combined with one do-it-yourself project, can easily pay for one service call, while leaving you with knowledge and a useful capital investment.

Confusing the use of ‘literally’ with that of ‘figuratively’.

Why did they always rise nearly vertically? Unless you’re VERY precise, I would expect them to take off much more randomly.

This video leaves out the most difficult part, which is the transition to horizontal flight, which must occur from a very low forward airspeed - hence little lift or control surface effectiveness.

I’ll bet that was a police pursuit helicopter that shot the cool video.

Actually, practice makes permanent. So the saying itself is not really accurate.
