What does “doing drops” mean in this context?

Why can’t stuff like this just be an article? Ain’t gonna watch shit.

I was a full grown adult when these books came out. I had to hate read them because of nieces and nephews etc and I have always known that they sucked and that Rowling was a lazy, shitty writer. It used to be an unpopular opinion. It’s nice to see the world caught up.

Glycogen depletion and the associated water load will take care of the first 5-7 pounds if going the fasting route. So a little less but still crazy bad. And it will go back on the moment feeding resumes.

I was going to guess platform tennis. It’s played with a racket like that and with a tennis ball, but the court is very small and enclosed with the walls in play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_tennis

I blocked the guy and the community a while ago. It’s a conveyor belt of inflammatory postings and misinformation.

You misunderstand what a theory vs a fact is. If a fact is a lego brick,a theory is a what you build.

A theory collects facts and builds a cohesive narrative to explain why they are. Most importantly there will be gaps, so a theory makes predictions about facts that we don’t have yet. When a new finding fits expectations, then the theory is supported. When a new finding is unexpected or doesn’t fit, it’s time to reclaim the bricks and build a new structure.

So black holes were predicted and fit the theory very well. It increased our confidence that the theory was moving in the right direction.

Scanner is fine but there are layers of bullshit with needing to install their app and store stuff in their cloud.

I haven’t. Is streamable or do I have to go sailing?

I have an old Brother laser printer which absolutely rocks. But I also have an HP flatbed scanner that has never come out of the box because of their bullshit.

What’s a water gate?

We just had a whole David Lynch discussion over on unpopular opinions. I will make two points on Dune; first he wanted a trilogy and lost control so someone else cut it into the fucking disaster that film was released as, second he wasted way to much money on the composite glass screen shot of the Atreides landing at Arrakis for the first time. I’m not sure it was worth it.

Pitbulls are the hollow points of the dog world. There is nothing wrong with them per se but the consequences of one being misused are so much worse.

Get bitten by a lab or a Yorkie and it’s not so bad. Pits have the bite strength of an alligator and the instinct to hold on, so if you try to pull free or shake loose you are losing muscle or maybe a limb.

These are still a fetish item and they are easily obtainable in new and vintage condition. e.g. https://www.violetwands.com/

There was a policy decision around 30 years ago to deregulate tuition and cut funding to universities. Part of the arrangement was allowing massive differential fees for foreign students. So they have been propping up most universities, not just the diploma mills.

Fictional? Jarndyce and Jarndyce. Real life? Bush v. Gore, Hobby Lobby, or Citizens United for cases I think were wrongly decided. The Persons case (Edwards vs A G of Canada) for rightly decided.

Dick measuring contest 😋👍

2 years of storage would run ~$7000 around here.
