New phobia unlocked. Thanks, Tesla!

In related news, PeerTube just achieved its funding goal - including all of its stretch goals.

This didn't work for me, either. I'm in my 50's, and keep moving leftward.

I think what happens is:

1. As people age, they tend to get richer.
2. As people get richer, they tend to lose empathy.
3. As people lose empathy, they tend to become more conservative.

Ah, the secret Canadian operative we never suspected!

The money the couple saved for a down payment on a home has evaporated into attorneys fees and savings to pay a bond for her release, if she's given that chance.

That's a real shame. Please pass the popcorn.

OK, so I have the 2009 edition of the Marvel Encyclopedia, which has 8 pages devoted to The Hulk. Apparently he had "every atom of his body exposed to gamma radiation" from a gamma-bomb he was working on. It's been revealed that Banner also has multiple personality disorder that contributes to his various Hulk forms.

I thought I remember from decades ago that his bulk and healing energy comes and goes from a transdimensional space, but I can't seem to find that in the article.

However, I really like this StackExchange answer, which posits that he is an energy-processing mutant that taps into the Power Cosmic to fuel his incredible strength. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/84410

"Epstein Visa"

How would they expect to collect this "money" thing? Across international borders and stuff?

"Pre-existing conditions" is just insurance industry slang for something we all have: "medical history".

Unfortunately, that's not how vaccines work. They only work if the stupid people and the non-stupid people all get vaccinated to create herd immunity.

Kinda the same deal as COVID. It will affect the people getting vaccinations, too. And some regular people cannot have vaccinations, for good reasons. So, this affects people outside of the group of stupids.

Brother.

Its printers used to be kinda so-so, but HP and the other brands decided to become so shitty - Brother became number 1 by remaining stagnant.

The sad part is, it's not Trump voters that will die. It's their kids. And immunocompromised folks caught in the crossfire.

It's sad and stupid, all the way down.

Sadly, only one of those groups are considered to be terrorists, and it's the mutants.

He's not Kennough.

Well - I don't think this is healthy or possible in 2 months.

Last year, I weighed in at 242 with high blood pressure and decided to get serious about weight loss. I started tracking my input and output to my system. I have a watch that measures approximately how much I work off. I use apps to track how much I'm taking in. The one factor that is missing is your BMR, your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories you burn just by being alive. There are special scales or devices that can measure this for you. You will need this to figure out the math.

Food calories eaten - BMR - Exercise calories spent = Calorie deficit or excess

So, if you exercise more, or eat fewer calories, you'll lose weight.

So, a pound of fat is 3500 calories, so if you have a deficit of about 500 calories a day, that's about a pound of fat per week. If you have a deficit of 1000 calories a day - that's a lot! - then you might lose 2 pounds a week.

Using this formula, I managed to lose about 45+ pounds in 6 months. I worked up to a walk+jog and managed to cover about 3+ miles per day. Unfortunately, with the cold weather of winter, I've not been able to exercise much, so my weight loss stopped in December.

But what you're talking about is losing 5+ pounds per week. That would require a 2500 calorie deficit! That would be a super-heavy workout every day. And then eating very sensibly. Even so, there is danger that some of your weight loss would be muscle and bone loss in addition to fat.

tl;dr - Don't do this. Also, talk to a doctor.

Upon further research, he seems hard-core apolitical.

I must have assumed he was like his character that he played on Boston Legal - who was clownishly right-wing.

Sorry about that improper assumption, and thanks for calling me out on it!

No, that's crazy talk. We like to be surprised when we pay for taxes and tips.

The human brain processes information by chunking - bundling up information into chunks to remember it. It's like a .zip file or compression on an image. That process is a bit lossy. If you've ever tried to write a technical document or a rules-set for a game, and had a user go through the document undirected, you'll see it in action.

The more complicated, technical, or tedious the instructions are, the more likely loss or misinterpretation will occur. A friend of mine says that writing a technical document is like programming a computer that skips every 7th line.

As a person who has written many of these, I've found ways to counteract / ameliorate their problems:

• the use of paragraphing important points that you want feedback on
• When sending to multiple people, but wanting feedback from a specific person, I bold, underline, and color their name next to their action item, so they know it's for them
• Using checklists or bullet points
• explaining things through multiple avenues, like with visual images and with text simultaneously

I hope this helps!

Also, we won't get cheap eggs and gas.

I've found that Imposter Syndrome is really common. Even people that I admire that are rockstars in the industry I'm in also have Imposter Syndrome.

Maybe the weirdos are the ones without Imposter Syndrome?
