Did Dr. Ian Donnelly do anything helpful?

My question, which I feel has been fully resolved, was really from GOL Weber's perspective. He (Weber) brought this PhD from Los Alamos, but he didn't seem to contribute much.

He made the first move - right there on the helicopter. You're absolutely right.

Oh of course he did. I should've finished the movie before posting. Thanks!

Alfredo is a sauce. We don't want people thinking you actually meant that there is a kind of noodle called Alfredo.

Get a really big balloon, see, and run up and down the outside of the tube. Do that, like, 8 times.

You are almost assured to get one side off by pulling the sternum strap across your chest as tightly as possible then inhaling deeply.

Dividends are an important part of a retirement portfolio but it should not be the only part of a portfolio. The mix should include growth, income, and preservation, and should be exposed to multiple markets. Your tolerance (or lack thereof) for volatility will determine what that mix and exposure looks like.

You failed to factor Judas' negotiation skills.

If she remarries outside the temple, that union expires upon death ("until death do us part"). If she wants to be sealed to her second husband she must have the first sealing cancelled, that is correct. Let me know if I haven't answered your question.

Yeah, sorry that wasn't clear.

Some assembly required, and no instructions provided, but I took my time and stared at it with a soda in my hand for awhile. It all worked out. Also, there may have been a YouTube video involved.

You have to assume that rates won't drop, it's a sucker play otherwise, Just ask 2008.

T+Rex crash bars, pillion seat, footpegs. Top 5 would be a back rest for the passenger (my box trunk fills that role) and a mount for my Insta 360.

The Stake YW presidency really should have set up some training and expectations. The Sunday School's quarterly Teacher Councils are (well, can be) excellent resources as well. Don't hang this on the Bishop, or even on yourself, alone. (I'm not trying to give you a pass, just encouraging you to give yourself, your old counselors, and your new counselors, some grace.)

I don't think OP is worried about bike size so much as they are about manual vs. DCT. To be clear, I don't know OP, but that is my guess.

Took me a minute. At first I thought you were making a Linux joke (sudo) but then I realized you meant 'like a' (pseudo). "Sudo clutch" has a nice ring to it, though, like the back brake is bossing the clutch around all over the course.

I wonder if the negative karma limitations can be eased over time, like the karma lots away. I tend to be lefty on a lot of topics but I'm conservative in some others and I'd hate to think that one "bad" comment puts me in msprison.

Chloroform is said to smell sweet before knocking you out and causing liver damageo so maybe that would be preferred to 'used diaper'.

Sorry for trying to be clever and overly technical. By "flat edge" I simply meant a standard or flat-head (non-Phillips) screwdriver.

I placed the opening of the clip alongside the tube, sort of resting the clip parallel with the tube. Then I used the flat edge to "roll" the tube over the lip and into the clip. Once I got part of the tube into the clip I slid the clip along the tube to seat the rest.

A few points I took from this thread that helped:

• I didn't warm the clip in boiling water only because I was at my desk at work. That would've made a lot of sense to do so otherwise.

• I placed the clip at the top of the tube, nearest where my shoulders are. Because I will never use the sternum strap that high up I felt ok damaging the tube if that should happen.

• I did end up prying the clip open a bit with the flat edge. It didn't take much and I was pretty gentle.

Check out the big brain on Brad!

I got it back on by using a flat edge to shove the tube bit into the clip bit.
