FE2 is my 35mm camera of choice, good taste! Though to be honest, i rarely shoot film and when I do it’s usually 645 on my Mamiya

Isn’t that how we got the national treasure that is Rachel Maddow?

Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.

I’ve seen it reported that if you count plea bargains as convictions, which is much closer to how Japan calculates conviction rate, that the US conviction rate is essentially the same as the Japanese one.

I always feel like my code is the best in personal projects when I don’t need to conform to whatever style and architecture has been decided on by history and committee.

It’s been problematic here in Hawaii for some time. I personally know multiple people who have had bad cases, including my goddaughter who spent the majority of the second year of her life in the hospital because of it. Do not take rat lungworm lightly. Wash leafy greens well before eating, and keep infants from situations where they could come into contact with slugs and snails.

When I confronted my now ex-wife about my suspicions of her cheating. The fears were justified.

I was once on the 17th floor of a building on fire (5 alarms and multiple deaths), and the fire happened to start directly across the hall from me. I thought I was going to die, but that fear was nothing compared to the thought of the person I love doing that to me.

Stargate. Had a long run with good viewership and multiple series, but has had very little cultural impact compared to trek/wars. Sg1 can stand up to any trek series

One of several reasons I really want to do an electric conversion of an old car rather than buying a new electric car.

So exactly as secure as we thought, then.

Were they moved into sanctuary districts? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Sanctuary_District

DS9 just seems to get more and more relevant with age. Sad we haven’t done any better than projected by the show.

For anyone wondering the Japanese is essentially “use fire” or “set it on fire”

Kim coco offered up her home to my friends when they needed to be on Oahu for medical care for months. I haven’t interacted with her too much, but will be forever grateful for that.

To be fair most of the map imagery we use from google/apple/etc is from planes and not satellites

I was living above the 15th floor of a building in one of the poorer parts of NYC. I heard my bunny thump and run to the bathroom, and was really confused as he never acted that way.

A few minutes later I see smoke pouring around the door frame and tons of fire trucks outside (I found out later it was a 5 alarm fire). Was sure I was gonna die, so I texted my ex (we were still close) that I loved her and then sat around calmly waiting for death. Eventually FDNY grabbed me out of my unit, and ran me downstairs. Two people across the hallway and someone in the unit above them died.

Super disappointed if they’re doing this off-device. If we’re getting more language model crap, at least make it local, please.

There was a study a while ago what showed money correlated well with happiness until about 100k/yr of income in the US, at which point it flatlined. I can’t remember how long ago this was and inflation would certainly make that number high today, but it made sense other than that even at the time I thought 100k was a but low for the flatline, but I’ve lived in some of the most expensive areas of the US and in Japan through my life, so I’m sure my experiences are a very skewed.

You have great hair. Most important thing to learn id say for makeup is eyes, you’d be amazed at the difference it can make. I’d recommend getting some pre glued falsies (ardell naked press on are an easy drug store/target buy) as they’re the easiest to apply and take off when you mess up, which you probably will your first time. Since you seem nervous, I’d use only the short and medium length lashes to start, they won’t be so obvious which could make you more self-conscious

You may be shocked by how much of a difference that can make by itself. Liner can make a big difference, too. If you have a steady hand id always recommend a liquid, nyx is a solid brand for cheap liquid liner.

Gender roles may be fake bs, but saying gender itself is fake is profoundly transphobic.

Seriously. The equal buns made me groan, but growing up it was so marginalized that I’m still just happy for acceptance and visibility. Plus, there’s still lots of kids growing up with families who aren’t accepting or in areas like that and seeing these ads can help, even if pandering.

Thanks for saying this. I’m pretty tired of people talking about how we have changed the definition of ai to include this stuff whereas I remember talking about ai in terms of things like random forests and q learning 20 years ago

Where’s the device that speeds or slows the passage of time?

By your estimate, visa used 3.4x the power of eth. I would guess visa handles much much more than 3.4x the volume of currency transactions and is way more efficient on energy.

SHOUTING_SNAKE_CASE aka SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE is the best case for all use cases, because it gives you a chance to use its wonderful names.

These things are really nothing like the real thing in practice. I’m half Japanese and sleep on a real one every night (though raised on a western style bed platform with tatami instead of slats/boxspring and find the American use of the term insulting, at best.

I vaguely recall a study from well over a decade ago where they used a light patch so that the only change in light for the sleeping participants would be on the skin and showed that circadian rhythm wasn’t dependent (solely, at least) on eyesight. Mind you this is a vague memory from a long time ago so take it with a grain of salt.

Yep, he lived many more years, died at 10 of cancer. Miss him a lot, he was a great escape artist with such a big personality.

I was never 35. Thought I was 36 until my 36th birthday when I realized I had been wrong for the previous year.

It’s super useful to know instantly if the messages are encrypted or not.

I would say the attitude shown in this comment is a more likely reason than the content of this comment.

I recommended liquid liner, but you’re young so I’m taking that back, i think it looks great, but young people aren’t doing that so much anymore. Using a dark shadow with a thin brush to make a soft line seems to be more common for young people now, and that’ll look great with falsies for you.

I, however, will continue use my liquid liner til death.

Line only the top, or even just the outside half of the top to start. In general you’ll want the liner to get thicker (or further away from the eye in the case of floating, but don’t start with that) as it moves to the outside.

Lots of people will just draw eyeliner around their whole eye when first applying and that very rarely works.

Malie city, as it’s based off where I live. I play Pokemon go in Liliuokalani park (the real life malie gardens) all the time.

You’re not wrong about those things being issues, but also people do electric conversions all the time, there are shops that specialize in it and premade kits you can buy for it. Low range is certainly a very common outcome, but I don’t have big range requirements for most of my driving. Plus, I love taking on projects that are way over my had and muddling through them somehow. It’s how I learn best.

It’s always amazing to me how different people react so differently to certain drugs. For me, the first line would be something like “anxiety is still there, but my brain is a little fuzzy and it feels a bit further away” and the rest of the lines would be “brain so fuzzy. Hate. “

I do the opposite, I pick up the burger and eat it all without putting it down so that I don’t have to clean my hands multiple times. I then wipe off my hands and try not to eat all the fries because I’m always trying to watch my weight. I often fail at that last part.

There have been times in my life when I would have fled, and times in my life when I would have fought. Never for the idea of country, but certainly for the people in the country. I’m a middle aged American woman and having no family anymore, I have considered fighting for the families of Ukraine. Though not too seriously and I don’t even know if they’d take me

In Hawaii every county did it independently around 10 years ago. Some counties have done it better than others. I don’t think I’ve had a single plastic bag on the big island in that entire time, but when I’m on Oahu I occasionally get them (for example the Apple Store thicker plastic bags that are “reusable”—somewhat true).

I don’t see people treating reusable bags as disposable, but it’s also completely acceptable here to just bring a cart full of stuff unbagged from target to your car here if you didn’t bring bags (groceries people will get paper if they forgot). I don’t think that’s as acceptable other places.
