Do the gender distillation column next!

This led me to realize the complexity and diversity of intermolecular forces isn't a bad metaphor for diversity in gender and sexuality.

The cult leaders are evangelical pastors. They'll find a new guy because it's profitable. They will herd their sheep to a new wolf.

The exploitative business types will follow for the same reasons. They only worship profit and trump literally gives them your tax money, cuts their taxes, and curates the courts to their interests.

Yeah if/when my system fails me i might!

I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don't compare. It's the perfect first draft resource.

If McMaster ever goes down it's going to take twice as long to do any design.

Oh just watch in 20-30yr for when coffee is no longer affordable to us commoners. Gonna get rough for a while. Actually why my goal ia to live at least another 35 years. Want to see that hell and the fallout.

Enjoying a "career". It seems once my financial survival is tied to something in it becomes an obligation instead of a novelty.

Could? Ehhh... Not really, at least while the economy is profitable. Liberals will do anything to stay in a union with their conservative colleagues. If we see wall street deteriorate then there'd be a real possibility.

Drive throughs at liquor stores

I mean, it's the community that keeps people around. The rules and dogma push people who aren't being served well by the community out.

So in group this is natural to say. But external, directed at religious peoples, it's not going to do the work of bringing them into your community. It's not welcoming and it serves to push people to build walls rather than promote a change in thinking.

So i think you're right in the context of being in community with a believer, but the comment wasn't about that to begin with.

Alternatively, it's hard to see how much religion is pushed until you're outside of it. It's like the opposite of getting a new (to you) car or phone. When you are, all of a sudden you realize how saturated everything is with it. It's like living off the end of the runway of an international hub airport, there's no rest.

Mu desperate need to continue using arch.

Disassociating from my inability to sleep.

New trolley problem dropped

More or less but person didn't have gender because that wasn't relevant to the subject which was the rolling ball. Ball also bounced a few times when hitting the floor.

Sirens of titan. Well, Vonnegut in general. His stories are fine, probably ground breaking for the time in the sense of exploration, but the characters have no depth. It's like reading a book about npcs. Then there's the misogyny. Women are simply livestock kept around for breeding in this one, worse than an afterthought.

I don't think it's valuable to read even from a historical standpoint. Wiki synopsis would be suggested.

Oh yeah I think it was a translation issue. Translators have trouble with conjugation and synonyms. But the result is the same.

Went from drunk to sober (wasted my beer) and woke up with my head feeling like a spike had been driven through it. 4/10

The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it's often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.

It's hard enough to express this in a first language

Even then it's safer than playing with rocks it seems.
