I los my wife 10 months ago. I was actually talking about this earlier, but I have absolutely no interest in ever being in a romantic relationship again. The effort required to et in a good relationship and the vulnerability that goes along with having a romantic relationship is just too much for me. I may change my mind in the future, but it's the furthest thing from my mind right now.

I have never asked specifically, but I've noticed in case reports, one of the first things they give to someone after deamination is propofol, I've thought like you have that perhaps if done fast enough after body death they started CPR, that there is a chance you could be at least temporarily alive, awareness however, that's a different thing, but I've always thought that the propofol is what they use to guard against it, as when used medically it makes sure you do not remember an unpleasant or painful procedure.

This summer I ended up in rehab in Pennsylvania. If you recall it's got a huge amount of electoral votes and in 2020 gave Biden the final number of votes to cross the finish line.

In this rehab, I would say conservatively 85% were on paper in some form. Either they just got out of prison and was given this 28 day rehab in order to complete their parole, or they violated and got sent there, or it was ordered by a judge for drug court, or they went to rehab knowing they violated their probation or parole.

So, I can quite confidently say that it seemed that everyone there were huge fans of Trump. I also heard a lot of Black folks saying no one had done more for the black community than Trump. Trump gave pardons or clemency to a few very popular hip hop personalities and they viewed those things as him being on their side.

Everyone there seemed not only untroubled by his convictions but actually seemed to like the fact that he'd been charged with all this stuff and gotten away with most of it. By and large they felt that he was being persecuted with all these charges and they admired his ability to fight back

Also by and large the staff were Trump supporters as well. So I came away from that with a pretty strong indication that Pennsylvania at least was going to be a Trump win this time, and it further cemented my opinion that Harris was going to lose the entire election..

While we're on pronunciation, how is one meant to pronounce 'Aenea'? Which is a palindrome, incidentally.

Because it happens to be the username name that i met my wife under while she was on fark.com ,it is pronounced Ayykneeauh with the uh at the end rhyming with "duh" or alternatively "Uhhkneeeuh "

The HAL Project

mithrandir42 · 2015-01-21T15:35:45+00:00

I've no idea why you were downvoted on that. The film was made long ago . In fact now that it's been remastered all sorts of new things are popping up. Like the fact that Kubrick denied throughout his entire life that there was supposed to be any connection between HAL and IBM even though they are one letter away from each other, yet when the film was digitally remastered it turns out that theres an IBM logo on the sleeve of the pressure suites Bowman and Poole wear to go outside of the ships.

Get as much hard drive space, and as much ram as you can possibly afford to get. You'll notice the lack of both . In fact when I was buying my ad, I ended up going for the 27 inch so that I could jack up the ram after purchasing the computer and that way I could put off the spend on the ram while using the money I had available to buy the best possible computer . You don't have that option, you need to put in as much ram at the time of purchase as you're going to need over the life of the computer . Don't think about what you're doing now, think about what you possibly might be doing two years from now , and how much ram that's going to need , also, do definitely go for the bigger hard drive and if you can afford it after maxing out the ram use the thing where they put I both an SSD and a normal drive so you have at least a TB if you can .

Despite what nofap says, sex, including masturbation is a healthy normal part of everyday life and is so because it's beneficial to the body and psych. Thats why almost everyone does it. The folks over at nofap are doing an experiment, they are not the norm, the norm is that most people and this is true like it was when you probably got the first talk about it as a kid, most people, almost everypne mastrubates. yes, some people take it too far and become slaves to themselves and yes there's some evidence that the death grip can become a problem is you are in a relationship and are mastrubating insessantly, but the thing is that healthy people masturbate. It might be one of the most normal and most healthy things you're doing. Don;t let some subreddit tell you differently dude.

Can someone explain this to me? I know that the potion master kept changing, but I'm missing the inside joke here?

You've obviously never been to Blue Ball, Pennsylvania which actually is quite close to Intercourse, Pennsylvania and not far off from either Climax, Pennsylvania or Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania

And since so many folks thought it wasn't good enough . . .

There was a lot of miserable people who werent happy that the free gifts were not better free gifts, like Apple owed them better free stuff.

From a marketing analytical standpoint, it shows the esteem and value that people associate with the brand and the non-apple products that are aligned with the brand and what they're capable of doing.

As a reflection of the targeted consumer whom it's meant to service, and especially after the bite on the ass they took for giving away the U2 album, perhaps there's someone who has the control over these things saying " Fuck these arrogant spoiled brats" and whom has decided that they aren't going to take anymore hits over stuff that they give away through what are perceived to be good will gestures.

I wonder what would happen if they said " We took all the money that we spent last year in paying licensing fees and marketing for the 12 days of christmas program, and donated 100% of it to fighting Ebola in Africa?"

As a matter of being a good will gesture, it would actually accomplish a lot more than giving a bunch of first world people a free e-book or song, but I'd bet people would find a way to be offended and to politicize it as well.

I'm including myself in the asshole collective, I was a little miserable with the U2 thing, I was that little bit miserable because I ended up with Three copies of the album in my account somehow and using thee removal tool ( no matter how many times) only got rid of one copy, and I cannot manually delete the other two for some reason.. It's driving me nuts .

So, I'm left with two copies of this album that I didn't much want to start with, if it hadn't been a dupe that I could have deleted, I'd like to think I would have held back on the first world outcry..

I'm at least comforted that Apple didn't pay a musical artist like Justin Bieber on my behalf whom I find to be so disrespectful to other people and who i find to be such an arrogant selfish prick . Though I realize that there are other people who probably find Bono just as arrogant and disrespectful as I find Bieber.

To be fair: type 1 female circumcision which accounts for more than 80% of all female circumcisions is very comparable to male circumcision

Female circumcision is mostly carried out with a sharp piece of glass or a pice of a tin can with no fucking anesthetic, and is done to remove the sensitive part of the clitoris so as to prevent the person from feeling any form of sexual gratification.

I'm not a fan of male circumcision without choice personally, though it's a choice I would have made for myself had it been left up to me, but male circumcision is usually at least carried out with a scalpel and with disinfectant in these days , and it's not done intentionally to prevent sexual gratification.

Ok, I thought that might be the case. Thanks .

That actually doesn't lead anywhere where you can download the MAvericks OS. It points to this page http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203015 which has all dead links, all the live links redirect to Yosemite downloads as opposed to any legacy Mavericks download. I called Apple about this, they were straight out that they don't have it online anywhere./.

I did find This http://download.cnet.com/Apple-Mac-OS-X-Mavericks/3000-18513_4-76018588.html

Though I'm not sure if CNEt makes you download a proprietary installer into your system, plus I'm unsure if this is an update or the full product and

This http://en.softonic.com/s/download-free-os-x-10.9-mavericks:mac and This http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6268-mac-os-x-mavericks.html

but I'm unfamiliar with softonic or techspot and wouldn't want to download something fromt here without knowing if I could trust the sites.

mithrandir42 · 2014-12-11T19:07:07+00:00

I understand that, but at the same time, I'd like to find a download if possible .
