In '41? We were sitting at home and selling EVERYBODY weapons. Staunchly refusing to get into the war. Again. For the second time ever. Right up until Dec, 8.

He did it during the scheduled break, after he ensured the other ≈20 people were out of the building. He endangered no person.

It wouldn’t be enough. Sure you could use magnetic boots to keep you “attached,” to the outside of a magnetically affected spaceship’s outer hull, though I would imagine that with the lack of atmosphere and magnetic field to protect you from space radiation we may be inclined to use materials that aren’t necessarily magnetic in nature.

All that was to say, yes it would possibly work as a backup tether, but since nothing is pulling on the rest of your body it wouldn’t simulate gravity as much as simulate a tether rope that keeps you from floating away.

Inside the ship it is easier to pretend to be a parkour expert than having magnetic shoes.

Directly? Talk to “God,” and thoughts and prayers for the people.

Indirectly? He just told around a billion and a half Catholics to resist/disobey illegal orders. That’s not nothing.

That’s much bigger than “a basketball at arm’s length,” as was described by NASA. That’s more like an oversized beach ball at arm’s length for me, and I have a 7’6" wingspan. I’m 6’3" in height, and rather lanky.

Energy. With infinite energy, I could either create the replicators from Star Trek, or screw up and make a Kugelblitz

That’s about 2 pallets of solar panels and batteries each, not a shipping container. That’s 0.0138 of a standard shipping container. I used to stack them 4 wide, 3 high, and 24 deep when I was a forklift operator. If you are shipping something that is light, and doesn’t matter if it overheats, you can do 4×4×26. Maybe more.

Their hold can easily contain an extra 4 pallets.

If those particular boats did or not, I don’t know, and that is irrelevant anyway. They definitely shipped some pallets of something, and other boats and ships exist and are providing aid.

No worries, oh one more tip. When re-stringing your violin or viola, hold it so that the chin rest is pointing away from you, and at around a 45° angle. If, for some reason, like the pegs being tight and unwaxed, you over tighten the A or E strings too much they will snap. Generally along the direction of the fingerboard, and generally toward the top of the string so the string-turned-whip travels, generally, along the direction of the fingerboard and away from your face. Violins and violas kinda hate their existence as far as I can tell.

Lexington, KY? They have several that do that.

Just avoid cities skylines 2. It’s just a cash grab

If you ever pick it up, a couple things to know: 1) your fingers will bleed until you’ve built up some kinda thick callouses. The E string is brutal. If you want to avoid that, do scales on the G and D strings until you have callouses.

\2) you don’t need a $1,000+ violin, you certainly don’t need the multiple $1,000+ bows you can find. Get a cheap ($250-$300) student violin to learn with, and if you get good enough to actually perform, then look at the expensive toys. (And good Lord do they get expensive quick.)

\3) some people will tell you not to tape your finger positions, some will tell you to tape your finger positions. I don’t actually know if it matters, it certainly made learning the correct position for my fingers easier, and I haven’t used the tape in decades since I stopped using my 3/4 size violin. What is important is that you do not get into the habit of resting the violin on your fingering hand. If you don’t train your chin and shoulder to hold the violin by themselves, learning vibrato technique is damn near impossible.

For a “basic smithy setup” all you really need is a roof and a dirt floor. Sand would be better than dirt, but dirt can get you started. All my forges have started as a patch of bare dirt in my backyard with a simple pole and tin roof frame around the patch. I eventually dig it up to a depth of two feet and fill it with sand. I’ve only done this twice. Once you have the sand, cover the sand when you don’t need it (to spill molten metal into) with 1/4 inch thick iron plates or steel plates. That keeps the sand where you want it.

Unca Scrooge?

Technically we were trying to help out France with the Vietnam war

If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

Tell her that she’ll start to appreciate it in her 40s to 50s when the kids don’t believe that she’s that old.

That’s what wetsuits are for, well that and the fact that The Pacific is cold at least on this side of the ocean.

Somewhere between 12 and 12!

Edit: Wait, were you asking for my personal activity? I was answering the question of how many users I see posting regularly. I learned a while ago that my posts don’t matter, so I just comment.

My daughter is like this (though only

You ok? Did a sniper get you halfway through the comment?

Meanwhile I’m 45 and still get carded for alcohol. Bitch, I’ve been drinking longer than you’ve been alive just gimme my vodka.
