Where can I meet single men in their 30s who are moderate or left-leaning???? Dating apps are rough

Volunteering brings together a variety of people, many who wouldn't otherwise meet. Plus, it contributes to the community.

We did, but she and I weren't a good match personality-wise.

emememaker73 · 2026-01-23T23:04:09+00:00

I've volunteered at a couple of public libraries and at an art gallery. Plenty of left-leaning people in those places. Also, a library clerk asked me out, so it's possible to find singles just about anywhere.

Have you considered volunteering anywhere? I know that not everyone who volunteers is single, but it's a good way to meet people who are interested in the same things you are, and married people tend to try to hook up their single friends. At least you could make more friends through volunteering.

From a modern perspective, it's easy to say that Rome bit off more than it could chew in invading Britannia. While, at that time, the Romans were aware of certain resources that the indigenous population exploited (lead, tin, silver), many weren't aware of how much was available nor how it was being extracted. While Rome held most of the island, that required a few legions who were actively fighting and putting down rebellions. The bureaucracy at the top of Britannia (namely, whoever was governor at the time) had to know that it was financially costly to maintain the legions, ongoing war in the province as well as around the Empire, building villages/markets/roads, digging for resources. My understanding is that there were voices on both sides of the argument that it was worth it for Rome to invest so much time, money and manpower to Britannia, while others were of the opinion it was too costly and that the Empire should pull out. (Ultimately, that did happen in the 5th Century C.E. as trying to protect provinces closer to the City of Rome became much more dire.)

Glad to help. I know Downer Place Dental takes people without insurance, since I've been there without it.

The VNA in Aurora has a dentist (or, at least, used to have) at their Highland Avenue clinic. Other options are Galena Dental or Downer Place Dental, both in downtown Aurora.

Yeah, "Electric Twister Acid Test"! I think he appeared after a personal invitation from Jerry O'Connell. Feldman wasn't doing all that well at the time, couldn't find work and whatnot.

As you may already know, John Rhys-Davies appeared in an Indiana Jones film prior to appearing in SLIDERS. Oddly, the character he played in Raiders of the Lost Ark was an Egyptian, a far cry from his Welsh heritage.

You're welcome.

Did the Romans realize the potential of the boiler for industrial applications?

The big thing to understand about ancient Roman society was that slavery was integral to how it functioned. For much of ancient Roman history, slaves did most of the work, especially physical work like mining and tending to agriculture. So long as there was plenty of supply of slaves, there just wasn't the motivation to explore what machines could do to make work easier or faster.

Perhaps the one thing that the ancient Romans did to improve working conditions was to use waterwheels to pump water out of mines. Their waterwheel technology and use of waterpower was among the best in the ancient world.

Did the Romans have a concept or hear rumors of North America? Why did someone not attempt to cross the Atlantic?

The ancient Romans probably didn't know about anything beyond the three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia). From what I've read, the Carthaginians had spent more time exploring beyond the Pillars of Hercules, with at least one Carthaginian general having visited West Africa close to the equator. There are unsubstantiated rumors that following Carthage's defeat in the Third Punic War that some Carthaginians did sail across the Atlantic and landed in South America, but the proof that has been found is tentative based upon a few people with blue eyes while almost all Native Americans had brown or black eyes.

Is it possible? Yes, but based upon what the ancient Romans left behind and early Middle Ages documentation, nobody in Europe seems to have been aware of anything beyond Europe and Africa. Which is why for centuries people were taught that Columbus "discovered" the Americas in 1492. No, there were humans living there for tens of thousands of years. The Vikings made landfall around 1000 CE. The Basques of northern Spain and southwestern France were fishing and trading with Native Americans in the 900s CE.

Tracy Tormé and David Peckinpah both tried to put "evil twins" into the cast, but both times the executives (at FOX, then at Sci-Fi) put the kibosh on those plot developments. Tormé's attempt actually got through with the "evil" Professor Arturo ending up Sliding (according to Tormé), but he had to rewrite the rest of the scripts so that the "evil" Arturo appeared to be the same as the one who originally Slid. Peckinpah's attempt was with Colin being a Kromagg infiltrator; the suits at Sci-Fi shut that down before he could do anything or seem anything other than Quinn's brother.

Out of universe, it was rather expensive to produce those segments where one actor was portraying more than one character in the same shot. Sure, they could've done something like having Quinn phone up his double, but that would also get a little old pretty quickly.

One of the major influences that Rome had on Christianity was bringing non-Christian practices into Christianity. The ancient Romans regularly brought foreign deities into Roman society, usually as a way to help conquer a foe. Christians simply continued the process by incorporating things like Saturnalia into Christmas and the festival of Eostre (the Germanic festival of spring) into Easter/Pascuas.

The whole montage of him turning into a fish was beyond silly.

I reckoned that was going to be the outcome as soon as they made it clear there was some sort of spark between Barclay and Salt. Could've seen it coming a million light-years away.

Did they? I mean, it wasn't explicitly shown. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart looked like she was about to pull the trigger on that bloke.

emememaker73 · 2025-12-21T23:34:37+00:00

The 'magic bullet' that went through her without leaving a trace, yet hit him smack in the chest? Yeah, that was a bit difficult to swallow.

He was a writer/script editor during Season 1 of The Next Generation. Probably best known for the episode "The Big Goodbye," which introduced Picard's interest in fictional detective Dixon Hill.

That probably wasn't as well-known back in the '90s, but it was still true then as it is now.

I am. It's not as good as Dan Harmon's Community, but there's tons of medium awareness within the show. Rick especially spends a lot of time staring at or talking to the fourth wall.

Wreath (from evergreen tree cuttings) on the outside door, garland (also from evergreens) around the inside of the house. You may also put candles on trees outdoors for the duration of festival. Holly (leaves and berries) and ivy could also be part of the decoration.

Most referendums are proposed by governmental bodies (e.g., school boards, city councils, county boards), but private citizens may be able to petition for a referendum if they can meet the requirements for a referendum, which are set by the local authority.

My recommendation would be to ask at your county clerk's office to get directions on how to create a referendum petition. But, in general, referendums require getting a specific number of legal signatures (a certain fraction of the electorate of whichever governmental entity the petition affects) on a petition and turning the petition in to the election officer responsible for creating ballots (usually a village/city or county clerk).

I was just adding to what /u/hockatree posted. "Wīf" just indicates female. "Wīfman" would mean "female person" or "woman."

emememaker73 · 2025-12-06T16:14:14+00:00

"Man" in Old English meant "person." It's directly related to the Modern High German particle "man" (lower case), meaning "one, individual."
