  • That's why you wait until you are right next the front of a semi and box them in.

    Of course there are idiots that will then pass in the shoulder. (Known from experience)

  • The advertisement begins with three-year-old Monique Corzilius, standing in a meadow in New York City's Highbridge Park picking petals off a daisy, counting from one to nine while birds chirp in the background. She makes several errors as she counts. When she was unable to count to ten successfully during filming, it was decided that her mistakes might be more appealing to the voters. After she reaches "nine", the girl pauses, as if trying to remember the next number. A booming male voice is heard counting the numbers backward from "ten" in a manner similar to the start of a missile launch countdown. Seemingly in response to the countdown, the girl turns her head toward a point off-screen, and the scene freezes.

    As the countdown continues, a zoom of the video still focuses on the girl's right eye until her pupil fills the screen, eventually blacking it out as the countdown simultaneously reaches zero. A bright flash and thunderous sound of a nuclear explosion, featuring footage of a detonation, replaces the blackness. The scene cuts to footage of a mushroom cloud, and then to a final cut of a slowed close-up section of the incandescence in the nuclear explosion. A voice-over from Johnson plays over all three pieces of nuclear detonation footage, stating emphatically, "These are the stakes! To make a world in which all of God's children can live, or to go into the dark. We must either love each other, or we must die." At the end of the voice-over, the explosion footage is replaced by white letters on a black screen, written all in capitals, stating "Vote for President Johnson on November 3". A voice-over reads the words on the screen, then adds "The stakes are too high for you to stay home."

  • Right before getting distracted by another fly.

  • The argument isn't just about acute or symptomatic exposure, but any exposure.

    Lead can bioaccumulate within our bodies and while we may not yet know to what extent of health issues it can pose, we do know it is a neurotoxic substance.

    What you are arguing is the equivalence of putting all of the blame on a construction team for lead/asbestos exposure when neither should have been used in the beginning. Yes, Flint should have been handled better, but the pipes also shouldn't have been leaded in the first place.

  • Along with the other reasons, people were relatively content with the excuse that the layer of buildup within the pipes would protect from the lead.

  • Or finding out it exists in a perpetual quantum state

  • That's just the explanation of eukarya which lists animalia within the same super-group as fungi and plants being in a different one altogether. Any relationship with plants to humans (which are within animalia) or mushrooms could be a bit subjective.

    Yes, fungi are closer to humans than plants. If you look at the reproductive cycle of all three though, plants have a closer amount of "sexes" to humans. Plants generally having "1" or 2 sexes; humans having 2. Fungi though...

  • Give it a month or two...

  • Synonymous with radiation therapy, I guess...

  • Pretty much the same temps for me in the south bay.

    It's not much, but wearing a soaked t-shirt/tank and having a fan or two circulating the air with the dryer stuff outside has helped me a bit.

  • It was supposed to end last week too...

  • Whatever you say.

    I mean I do need to keep my antennae from buzzing all the time. But, whatever you say.

  • You do realize that we already know the only reason you have them on your remotes is to charge the streaming services a licensing fee for the advertisement. You couldn't care less about grandma.

  • You work in their marketing department, don't you?

    The scenario I mentioned would have the buttons simply labeled with a number/letter. 95% of the time I don't even look on the remote to use a button. Also, if you hit the wrong button, no big deal, you just the other/s.

    Like I mentioned, stop giving them excuses.
