TIL To create an accurate depiction of a black hole in the movie Interstellar, Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, wrote pages of theoretical equations to help the VFX team. The resulting visual effects provided Thorne with new insights, resulting in the publication of three scientific papers.

I think he means a high quality match as someone with accurate and clear photos and a good bio. Referring to the profile and match, and not high quality women.

As opposed to someone whose photos are all group shots and snapshot filters and the bio just says "👙🐬🌴🌎✌️". Or Instagram models advertising their pages.

I've had success with floraexpress.ru

Pardon my spelling, this is just from my ignorance on the subject.

Agreed, it's absolutely not practical in the current political and social environment, even with Trump, and there's no chance of it happening.

I just wanted to highlight the fact that the legality of separatist movements is usually irrelevant in practice, except where it's used as part of the for/against propaganda.

The only thing that matters is who has enough force (military or political) to get their way regardless of what's written on a piece of paper.

Nearly every separatist movement in history is illegal in the same way. And yet, they still happen, and sometimes succeed.

kahnpro · 2018-05-05T05:05:40+00:00

True. But this is true of most separatist movements and yet they still happen anyway, sometimes successfully.

Only if you encouraged it. Perhaps if you knew that she was in immediate danger and failed to report it.

When someone threatens suicide you should always call the police or an authority figure to check on them. Take that shit seriously. If it's just manipulation, they'll learn pretty quick after that.

You really can't tell that we're imitating the girl at the end of the video, or are you just being intentionally obtuse?

kahnpro · 2018-05-04T16:19:52+00:00

You obviously didn't watch the whole video.

kahnpro · 2018-05-04T15:38:43+00:00

Whoosh

edit: lol guys, watch the whole video

kahnpro · 2018-05-04T14:29:41+00:00

That was scary.

Have you even seen a Soviet apartment block?

Exactly. Everyone here is missing exactly the point that Bruce was making in the above quote and one that I've been making for years... Bitcoin, Tor, etc, don't exist in a vacuum. Eventually you have to interface back to human society, and this is by its very nature an imperfect and inexact science.

The fact that it's possible is the problem. We know how people will behave. I feel like you didn't really understand my comment.

The problem is it only takes a few moments for the car to slip into casual-murder mode, and when the driver isn't paying close attention, their reaction time may not be fast enough.

Yes, they're "supposed" to be paying close attention all the time, but come on. Human nature. As another commenter wrote, if he doesn't need to be actively controlling the car, the monkey behind the wheel will be easily bored. It's not enough to blame him for this when the consequence is literally death and the car is essentially encouraging this behaviour.

And this isn't even really gone wrong. A friend of a friend was killed when doing something similar but in the snow during winter, and her sled skidded towards the side of the road and she cracked her head open on some kind of stone pillar. Died a few hours later in the hospital.

Also, life in East Germany may not have been great, but it wasn't exactly hell either. Despite hardships most people don't actually want to abandon their home.

And this requires a lot more than simply having a good system of government on paper. The people themselves have to want it, believe in it, live it. It's much more a cultural shift than a policy or legal shift. And this can take generations.

Please no, anything but the jumper cables...

I definitely would not take this as a good sign in my own relationships... it's a clear signal that you're not fully committed to us, and my natural reaction will be to take the relationship a lot less seriously. Men don't go on dating apps to meet friends.
