Ah yes, the Parthenon, most famous of the mud huts.

Compression ruins good photos.

Ah yes, the crusades. Such good.

Now please explain how you create a smaller population that doesn’t reek of eugenics

Education. People tend to have fewer kids the more educated they become. Give everyone in the world top class educations, and the population will naturally decline.

I have a smaller keyboard that doesn't have dedicated arrow keys, or any of the home, page up, etc. They're all on the numpad, so numlock for me is very useful.

The person above was being sarcastic, because of course progressives are not trying to conserve the existing system.

I like that it's information dense. Posts don't take up a lot of space, comment chains are easier to track with the boxes, it's more obvious which posts will expand in window and which will go to a new link. I don't care if it's pretty, I find it far more functional.

There are certain things I can't get anywhere near me from anyone other than Amazon, and I live in a city of 6 million people. Sadly I need to use Amazon about once a month. Getting groceries from them is ridiculous though.

That doesn't mean what you think it means. You are not twice as likely to die form a stab wound, if you are treated quickly fort a stab wound you are much more likely to survive compared to a gunshot wound. You need to look at the incidence of death percentages:

"(Gunshot wound: early, 2.0% vs. late, 4.9%; Stab wound: early, 0.2% vs. late, 1.1%)"

So a stab wound if treated early has a 0.2% chance of death compared to a gunshot wound which has a 2% chance of death, meaning gunshots are 10 times as deadly. Under late treatment its 1% chance of death for stab wounds, and 4% for gunshots, so gunshots are 4 times as deadly.

Even late treated stab wounds are half as deadly as early treated gunshots. Gunshots are far more deadly than stabbings.

Always

According to this the average pair of boobies is 860 pounds, sounds about right.

Not really, it's pretty key to the propagation of the species to find certain genitals and sexual traits attractive. Those that don't notice them or care about them are outliers in humanity.

actually Hamas murders anyone who goes against them

Well that would result in them having overwhelming support, among the survivors that is.

Never had a sulfur odor from nitrile gloves, and I've used them exclusively for my 15 year chemistry career.

Yes, and that's not a bad thing. Anyone outside of the average in a trait is an outlier. Being 7 feet tall makes one an outlier, being a genius makes one an outlier, etc...

Not sure why you're so offended.

Hey, if anyone else or any store can get me the things I need within the week I 100% go there. but no one else is stocking specific temperature controllers anywhere near me. I can't get 3D printer resin anywhere that isn't a 40 minute drive away. Specific wiring I need, AliExpress is the only other company with it. Amazon stocks a lot of niche things that no one else is carrying.

By second cousins the rate of genetic abnormalities is the same as for distant strangers. You really don't have to go very far back for it to not cause issues.

Thousands of underpaid workers in publishing offices, marketers, delivery drivers, and bookstore workers. Without them JK Rowling makes nothing, but they didn't get any extra pay from the success of Harry Potter.

Zero, I was almost done high school when this movie came out.

You can bring a solar panel with you to keep it charged if you have a long visit of convincing people you're magic planned.

You don't need a network to make a smartphone black magic. Just taking pictures is enough, but also single player games, calculators, word processors, image editors, music players, really any non-networked application is still magic to pre-computer people.

My lab/department always uses Kimberly Clark, they've never caused a sulfur issue for us, though I admit I've never done FTIR or IMS on them, so maybe they do give off minute amounts.

11 years in analytical chemistry myself.

Same for me, my city is pretty nice and I don't have extreme weather enabled so no tornadoes in mine.

The quiver-full people tend to be poorly educated, and tend to fall out of the idea once better educated.

I don’t know many men who would admit that Samberg is attractive

Those men haven't watched Popstar.

Man, I am the underpaid person in my supply chain.

And its a lot less ethical for people to profit billions off the labour of others than for me to profit a few thousand that I need to eat.

Nah, some shit would take weeks to get to me from the few other alternate vendors, and I;m not waiting that long.

Same. I also used to have a great store near me that carried random electronic parts, motors, hobby shit, bits of hardware. Any time I needed to fix something, or wanted to make a little device I could go there for supplies. RIP Active Surplus.

No no, they meant flood it with water. I'll get the fire hoses.

Or, the bike owners could have snugged them in leaving the path clear, at no extra effort to themselves.

That's my Boy. I like dumb comedies.

Not ones that can get me the things I need within the month.

It takes a lot of petting before she gets annoyed, I hope you're prepared for several hours worth.

Back and forth between Diablo 4 and Crusader Kings 3.

You can also use a dark nail polish if you don't want tape covering everything.

Buck is too masculine on top for me to find them attractive.

r/interestingasfuck porn bombed for a bit, now it's just an unmoderated community.
