Mechanical engineering. Whenever I see a big piece of tech — say car, plane or any industrial machinery/piping — I think of all the time and effort that went into creating each part of it, from drawing blueprints, modeling, checking national/international standards, choosing materials, running software for calculations, running through different people for approval, assembly, maintenance, etc.

It's so much work and even more paperwork. I feel we take what we have for granted.

In Portuguese it's spelled coronel and pronounced just like that, with the R in the middle. I can't think of a single word where the L and R interchange. I can't speak for other romance languages though.

If you complete a set you get xp and level up your profile. I sell the expensive cards I get from my games and buy the cheap ones to get a full set. I'm on level 52 and I never put any money on steam for any reason other than buying games. My profile looks cool because of this and I like it.

I had a hysterectomy. Kept the ovaries as to not start menopause. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

So technically I have my periods hormonally but don't bleed or feel pain, so there's that option if you don't plan on ever having kids.

I don't know, that's why I asked

Just curious... Why Australia specifically and not any other country in the southern hemisphere?

Yes, there's a button for it if you go to someone's profile. I don't think it works for the browser version though.

They research a bunch of great stuff. A friend of mine was involved in this one vaccine against crack and cocaine addiction from UFMG.

 

I like pretty much anything but arcade and shooter.
