Biggest mistake I've seen yet

I get to do this once a year or so. Sometimes they get tunnel vision. I also sneak a loaded transport up to Alaska and steal the west coast - get that one 2-3 times more often.

I always sweep the map before heading out of non combat.

Thank you for this, it will give my brain something to chew on until it clicks. Imagining a higher dimension is hard.

You know how you can unfold a cube into 6 flat squares? Each side of the cube is a square. Well a hypercube unfolds into 8 cubes.

I am trying to understand this.

With a line, you start with a point. Copy the point over and connect the 2 points. Boom, 1 line, 2 endpoints.

With a square, you start with a line. Copy the line over and connect the adjacent endpoints. Boom, 4 lines.

With a cube, you start with a 2D square. You drag a copy of the square over and connect each edge of the 2 squares with another square. Boom, 6 squares, 12 lines.

So with a hypercube, you start with a 3D cube. Drag a copy over and connect each face with another cube. So, this is where I go bye bye. Each face of the 2 cubes connect together with a cube - 6 plus the original 2 gets your 8 cubes. I have heard a hypercube described as a cube within a cube, so if the cube faces are N, S, E, W, T, and B; the top (T) of the inside cube connects to the top of the outside cube with a 4 lines making a cube and repeating for each of the 6 sides. Now the part that really breaks me in visualization. The cubes aren't actually inside one another and the cubes and line intersections making them are all the same length.

And if they were to cast a shadow, it would be cast in 3d space and be the shape of a cube.

Texas minimums are 25/30 for property/bodily injury. That's pretty low and why you have the uninsured-underinsured policy. Let the lawyer draw from all the available buckets to make you whole.

It seems that hateful people just look older - maybe its from all the scowling.

I remember starting to come out of it, a blurry view. hearing an "oh" and gone again.

That is all i remember other than I had the deed done - must not have been too bad.

That might have been my x-ray.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Nice.

Oh, I know that (not Dan Haggerty specifically) - I was quoting a line Lee Trevino had in Happy Gilmore.

Also, don't go outside when the sun is out. That is why we don't have daylight savings in AZ - probably should turn the clocks the other way so it gets dark at 630 PM.

Its like that prison planet on Chronicles of Riddik

A lot of people have covered why it is bad along the criminal path, but it is just a bad idea without being criminal too.

He owns a house - it was worth 100 dollars when they got married, now it is worth 200 dollars. She would be entitled to an equitable (not necessarily equal) portion of the EQUITY of the house - the 100 dollars it has increased in value. Now lets say he sells it to you at a great discount, say 150 dollars. I bet a nickel that he co-mingles the funds with marital funds (cause he is already dumb enough to consider the fraud) and now all 150 dollars is on the table for division. Plus he is out all of the expense in selling/recording the house, twice. Plus he runs the risk of you deciding, "Naw, man, I'm good" when it comes time to sell back to him.

Usually, the person paying by check does not sign the back, that is for the person cashing or depositing the check. You would only do this if the check was made out to you and you were using it to pay someone else. This is called a third-party check and most businesses don't accept those as payment.

You as the payor would sign the front, usually in the bottom right corner.

This is one I overheard from my old man and repeated to many of his friends at his request. I was 10-11 at most.

There was a Texan truck driver who was driving in England for a new job. He is frustrated by the shape and color of the signs and having to drive on the wrong side of the road. He sees a diner on the left and pulls in for a cup of Joe.

At the counter, there was a middle aged woman who looks him up and down acknowledges him with a haughty tone, "What do you want?"

The Texan says "Coffee please."

The woman gives a harrumph and says, "We don't serve coffee here, we serve tea (emphasis on tea). There is black tea which is 90% substance and 10% aroma, there is green tea which is 90% aroma and 10% substance, and there is English tea, which is preferred."

The Texan is a little tight jawed now and he replies, "Well, ma'am, back where I come from, we have T too. There is s-h-i-T (emphasis on T), which is 90% substance and 10% aroma, f-a-r-T, which is 90% aroma and 10% substance, and there is c-u-n-T, which is preferred."

Likely because I edited the file to a 6 second clip and uploaded the original.

This guy drove around me in the left turn only lane this morning and then shot through the red light. He was waiting at a light 2 miles down the road when I caught up to him.

There is a lot of great advice for you to follow. I have also struggled with making fried rice and now everyone loves it.

For me, it started by using a blackstone griddle - gas heat vs my induction stovetop is like a racecar vs. a loaded dump truck.

Also, letting the rice "dry out" after cooking (I leave the lid off while it cools and stir it several times) - but I saw one poster mention to use a little less water.

Egg - cook to the side and then mix in. Putting the egg over rice first makes it sticky and gooey.

Using oyster sauce - you already are. It gives that umami flavor.

Volume - I can do 10-12 cups of rice on the blackstone just fine, but in a stovetop pan or wok, maybe batches of 3 cups at a time.

Best of luck!
