This has the vibe of folks running with startup product claims. The science for this is interesting, but when you're displacing the oxygen from one area, you're moving the oxygen in another. There's also the likely potential issue of hearing loss.

It's David Fincher's second movie. It's also pretty gory. It never shows violence of the death only the aftermath. Saw (at least the first) was heavily influenced by it. It also has Kevin Spacey has John Doe, so do with that as you will.

No, Brad Pitt & Morgan Freeman are detectives on the case of string of homicides committed by John Doe. Each homicide is for a person John Doe determines in the embodiment of one of the seven deadly sins, and is killed in a way to play to the motif of their associated sin. e.g. a man force feed until his stomach ruptures, a man strapped to a bed and given muscle paralytic for a year. etc.

Also if I hadn't convinced you yet. I'd recommend looking at John Lasseter, Charlie Rose, or Les Moonves. Hell even the rare success story of Wienstien has been successfully appealing the cases against him.

This was one of the big points of METOO. There is a culture of silence and the tools for recourse often favor the same power dynamic that caused the abuse in the first place. That was the entire point of Catch and Kill by Farrow. The "the veracity should be established in court" is exact playbook that companies like Black Cube use.

Politely. Court's don't establish guilt, they establish legal liability & theoretical damages. A case being dismissed due to statue of limitations, jurisdictional issues, retrail, etc doesn't mean the accusation is false. Nor does the lack of subsequent cases; the cases are likely civil and civil cases can be incredibility costly. Settlements with gag orders are common. RATHER than disregarding the jurisdict case and whatabouting the others cases I'd ask why Giamon didn't sue for damages.

Still pretty slow for tachyons. Take some energy out of them if you want to see real speed.

On top of that there has been so many self owns that will play so damn well during the mediterm. E.G. Trump budget plans, him stating that social security, daycare, medicare, medicaid, etc can't be paid for because of military spending.

Actually I think the answer is simpler; why would dems give Trump an out? Approval ratings among independents, young voters, & catholic voters is cratered. Projections have oil prices potentially hitting 180 dollars per barrel if this isn't resolved by end of April. Diesel is up almost 60% since January, and since transportation cost effects everything, inflation is likely going to spike too. The war has cost ~53 billion dollars & most of the population doesn't understand why the war started.

It's normally West -> East. Jet stream isn't super stable but normally it keeps an easterly slant.

It was funny watching taskmaster and going "Oh hey that's Brody's Sister".

Note: this is largely on the Shaken/Stir protocol. It will limit some of the behaviors and remove some bad actors, but likely won't make a permanent mark scam calls. There has been a suggestion to use a community scoring system like spam mail for a longer term solution, but I don't think this will get anywhere.

But more generally, we honestly don't know how the American public feels about a progressive presidential candidate; we've never had one in the general. And there's a lot of special interest funding to primary against potential candidates even on the early on ramps. At least pre-Trump I would say there was a pretty good chance. Haven't spent a long time in red states, I will say a lot of folks in Trump country are surprisingly gun-ho about progressive polices when they are explained.

So are you talking about governorship or presidential? CA is more conservative than a lot of folks think, but a someone like a Jared Polis or Tina Kotek would do pretty well. Probably not much a Maura Healey due to the amount of oppo spending corporations would do.

I mean its him pretty transparently prepping to run in 2028. Same reason he ran to the right with Charlie Kirk after the election. That said the left is pretty leaderless right now. Jefferies has been surpressed dems from do much of anything for some reason.

I donno. I counted the fingers on the dog and they seem correct.

Honestly in pretty much every possible use case duct tape is near the worst tape to use. If you want a better general purpose tape gaffers tape is also fabric backed, is actually abrasion resistant, doesn't leave a sticky residue, and is stronger. Short maybe camping or kayaking duct tape kind of sucks, and even its butyl adhesive tape is generally better.

Also you should NOT use duc(t/k) on ducts. It's bad in pretty much every possible way. It can't handle the temperature ranges of either the hot or cold temps used in HVAC. The adhesive degrades in way that both flakes and gums up making it a pain to remove. It doesn't seal well. It's a potential fire hazard. It can trap moisture. It's not durable and will naturally degrade pretty quickly. Use either a Foil Backed HVAC tape or duct mastic.

"The problem is you assume that the struggle is attached to a social class. I am black and bold and beautiful by nature. There aint no income that can change that." The struggle of racial discrimination isn't economics; it's discrimination. It's a history of discrimination leading to the inability to build generational wealth. It's discrimination that leads to over policing of communities of color, or in hiring practices, or racial profiling. It even happens with "Allies", or unintentionally.

Half? That's being a bit generous. Only person I've know who needed a truck was a farmer & they had a dedicated work truck. All other trades folks I know use vans.

My grandfather worked for Planned Parenthood during the 80s. His house was regularly picketed. He would bring out lemonaid & water to everyone. He's comment was love your enemies cause it really pisses them off.
