It's one of the most ridiculous charges. It's also remarkably easy to avoid: simply replace the "I'm gonna" part of a threat with "I hope someone". Example: "I'm gonna shoot you" is legally

I mean, I carry a gun regularly, and if I ever have to use it, it's 50/50 whether only not I'll be charged. Actually much less likely in my locale, but if I'm out of town...

Observation, and being part of the culture. Surveys are a decent model of reality, but they miss the flavor. Volcels are victims of the culture.

No. Teens are disturbingly non-horny these days, and it's carrying over to adulthood. I blame the relative lack of genuine human interaction and microplastics.

It's a style of thinking. It can be taught, but mostly by example.

Diesel tuners are still very popular.

I'd be glad to have this in a motorcycle helmet.

I don't use calendar or email that much. When I do, Google does fine.

I've heard a lot about how bad they are, but I've just never noticed either doing anything but their job.

Yeah, it's also a mistake they made 10 years ago. Tesla is very good at automotive software engineering.

by rpmisms 3y ago
Yes, this happened to me, although it took 10 years. Free replacement, and the car still worked fine.

There's quite a few Uniates on the old calendar, though.

Tesla is very very good at software engineering. They still need to find the balance in their software and process engineering, though.

The first one sent me into fits. The point is that we're old here, not the wild West. Hilariously, I live in one of the most German areas of Appalachia, so the people look more or less like my neighbors. The second one would fit in at

That's the point I'm making. Fail-safe and good testing.

My Tesla had an update fail, and it didn't break anything, I just got a new update package the next day. I also replaced my own headlight and had to run a software update to initialize the new part. I called a service center and had a

Dad, is that you?

Merry Christmas, thank you all for being a wonderful taste of the old Internet. Let's all turn our engineer brains off and enjoy family and friends.

Today is Western Christmas, January 7th is the actual feastday, we call it Nativity. You can have the festal greeting anyway: Christ is born!

Who wasn't? I guess Cechnya?

Here's a yule-flavored reminder that Denver's talking about Western Virginia, since that's where the Blue Ridge mountains are. He'd also never been here, so he might have just been wrong.

I thought about this, trying to find exceptions, and you're completely right. Good list to put on my wall.

Sims can always help build technical knowledge, but usually lack the practical aspect. Sure, you know the ingredients for a takeoff, but can you execute in a real cockpit? Again, great for learning the ingredients.

Considering that OP's study is from the US in the 40s through 60s, gestational anemia probably factors in. Also, anemia is a single deficiency. How many more opportunities for deficiency are there? Hundreds?

I'm a software engineer, I have a couple brothers in permaculture design, one is a gunsmith, and the rest are too young to be sure yet. Plenty of shared knowledge, like gunsmithing is a hobby of mine, but he took it seriously. Still no

I'm sorry, do I need to post a biology class in here too? I can post the study about how women with bigger butts have smarter children due to higher Omega-3 availability, and the study detailing the depletion during pregnancy, and the

Actually, it does, but only if you have reasonable reading comprehension. How is what I'm saying "disgusting misinformation"? I'm very interested in what precisely you're angry at.
628.
by rpmisms 3y ago
Yes, which is why OP's study based on data from the 1950s is already problematic. However, a fixed cocktail of supplements isn't ideal. Some people actually get their bloodwork done and concentrate on what they really need.

by rpmisms 3y ago
You are correct, but as women get older, the chance of genetic defects becomes higher. The intelligence of a genetically nominal child wouldn't be affected.

Sure. Omega-3, a critical ingredient for having smart kids, is depleted during pregnancy, and few women supplement enough to fully replenish. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3046737/
