Great idea with the kielbasa! Gonna try that myself. I do this almost anytime I get frozen pizza as well, which is a bit of a nostalgic comfort food thing for me I guess (Red Baron or Tombstone on a Friday night for max nostalgia). I almost always end up adding more cheese, as the mfrs seem to skimp nowadays.
Sorry to see you got injured. How did it happen?
It seems they convinced him that NATO and Ukraine are Nazis. Typical stuff from the play book. Dude just went all in on it. Pretty sad, he had his whole life ahead of him.
Yes. Sometimes it is required to have your camera on. Even when it isn’t required, there are always some people who prefer to have theirs on for whatever reason.
Now reasure me that the reasons my life sucks are due to no fault of my own, but to other people. Give me a target for my impotent rage which stems from the fact that I know deep down that I’m a failure. Tell me it’s someone else (or group of people)'s fault. I can’t wait to blindly support you!
If you were one who lived in USA and didn’t vote for him, what would you do to not “let this happen”?
That’s a pretty subjective statement as it really depends on whom you’re defending it to. Does consuming any amount of alcohol make one an alcoholic? I suppose differing people will have differing definitions.
2nd half in raw binary because I use Arch btw.
In addition to that, they’re suggesting a government stake, which likely means using taxpayer money to help him subsidize it. Hmm. Where have we seen that before?
Which is why I said define arbitrary earlier. I believe it had to do with accuracy of measurement equipment in the 1950’s as well as the ephemeral time scale, which was based on the observed movements of astronomical entities. So you can kinda argue either way. The selection of units can be influenced by an older system like you said, but that still is a system that was based on an observable or measurable phenomenon, which doesn’t fit the definition of arbitrary.
Maybe those planets/stars in the cartoon were aware of their own non-linear travel, as well as red/blue-shift effects, and that we earthlings based our original systems of measurement on them without prior knowledge of those factors, thus making them inconsistent and arguably arbitrary haha
I believe that was because at the time of its discovery, that was the most accurately we could measure it. It’s still based on a stable, constant, absolutely measurable phenomenon though. You can divide it into whatever arbitrary or non-arbitrary units you want, but that system of measurement is still based on an absolute standard.
It’s like saying that we now define one year as 1.234 earth revolutions around the sun. Or 2. Or whatever. Arbitrary units perhaps, but still based on an absolute phenomenon.
If you really want to throw a wrench into this whole concept though, mention that the earth’s rotation is slowing ever so slightly over time… so we have to add time on to the atomic clock to attempt to sync it better with the earth’s non-linear rotational velocity. Who’s arbitrary now?! 😀
If there were reasons that it was divided that way, as you said, then that would make it non-arbitrary, as it was based on a system of logic. Define arbitrary, I guess.
Perhaps it would appear to be arbitrary though to those who aren’t aware of those reasons/logic, like the astronomical objects in the cartoon 🤷♂️😀
The measurement of earth orbiting for one revolution around the sun (a unit of time we refer to as a year) isn’t arbitrary. It’s clearly defined. You’ve either made one complete revolution or not. It’s just that the original starting point for the first measurement was arbitrary because you’d have to start somewhere.
Many forms of measurement are based on absolutes, like temperature, measured from absolute zero, or time, measured against the cesium standard (atomic clock). You’d have to break physics in order to be able to define them as arbitrary.
I’m very curious as to what your suggested course of action would be if you were to “cut the military budget to 0”, and then another nation with a strong military uses their military to abuse or murder the citizens of your nation because they disagree with your nation in some way…
For all those dogs know, that mayor could be doing all that they can with the resources they have. But if it’s a national issue, then it’s effectively like trying to extinguish a forest fire with a squirt gun. Go after the Big Dog President.
Paying for the privilege of using AI to sift through the vast bleak sea of AI generated garbage. What a time to be alive!
It seems that in this case the cosplying as a female is entirely unnecessary.
Since the law allows one to legally change their gender with just a simple declaration, requiring no medical exam, hormone therapy, or “proof” etc., then why would this person choose to wear all of the feminine attire and accessories when doing so is just extra unnecessary effort. They seem to be enjoying it and doing a pretty thorough job from the looks of it.
It’s making me wonder if they’ve been in the closet their entire life and this situation gives them the perfect excuse to dress and behave the way they have always wanted to.
