Luciano Pavarotti wasn’t a shorty

This comment confused the heck out of me. Gimli was played by John Rhys-Davies, and that actor is still alive.

My undergraduate tuition at a state public university is under 10k a year. I was severely injured in the military though, so the government pays my bill.

What you see in the news is the result of predatory practices and people not being able to use their degrees in a profitable way. There’s a lot of jokes about philosophy programs and art history degrees being a pipeline to working in fast food, because often the only way to use those degrees is to get more education (more loans) so you can teach the subject.

I’ll take the one with less maintenance anyway. I wouldn’t even need to buy the battery for this because that’s the same one my lawnmower uses

My neighbor will blow them into my driveway (which is higher than his so it’s a never ending battle) and then he’ll walk between my house and the house on his other side blowing leaves to the other side of the street. He wastes so much gas every day, I would find it funny if it weren’t infuriating. Like, who the heck even buys gas leaf blowers anymore?

This looks a lot like the cheap heater design for homeless people that’s been going around. That one uses ethanol and copper tubing instead of fat and a wick

This is the new age test. You forgot cake though

You’re not wrong. The hypothesis that I’m familiar with says that there’s a lower energy barrier to using L-amino acids when forming a peptide bond. But favoring one configuration over the other doesn’t mean exclusivity. As far as I know, we haven’t fully been able to explain why every organism on earth uses the same configuration.

Any benefits he might have had with the VA for his disability have likely been revoked because of this. I have a buddy who caught some federal charges for arguing with VA cops while we were in a VA hospital getting treatment for ptsd, and he’s had to really fight to keep his benefits. I actually don’t know if he was successful. I hope Malik isn’t forgotten and he has support when he is released.

It varies by city and state.

A double cheeseburger meal with a medium drink (630ml) is $9.29 (€8.85) where I live. Starting pay is $13/hr (€12.28) but you have to be employed full time (40hrs/wk) to be given benefits like insurance coverage. That’s generally reserved for management positions.

Average rent for a one bedroom apartment is about $750, but a grocery bill is usually expensive because this is the middle of nowhere. So, it’s not a livable wage. You would need a roommate or two.

The dumb thing is that currently you can get gender affirming surgery in the military even if you’re trans. The VA only offers hormones and therapy to trans people.

One of the most bizarre gifts I’ve ever been given was a random Skyrim funko pop. I don’t really do collectibles, and I hadn’t played Skyrim in a couple years at that point.

Then I found out that the person who gave it to me has a massive collection of Funkos. They can’t even display all of them because they’re stacked several layers deep all the way to the ceiling

I’ve tried ket twice, and the first time was unforgettable. I remember feeling so incredibly alone, even though I was at the biggest party I think I’ve been to. I need that interconnection you get from the other ones like lsd or mdma.

That whole paragraph is probably a commentary on my life lol

My first time seeing them, it’s usually -20°F when they are here. I had no idea they changed so quickly! This made my entire life and I can die without regret now lol

Often something like this is published and people don’t use the methods for the materials they are described with. It’s like taking the idea to make dough for baking specifically shaped bread, and using the concept to make specifically shaped ceramics instead
