It clearly doesn't mention critically ill undocumented children, so that's that.

That's not a healthy work wife relationship then. If they're jealous or hostile towards your actual spouse, that's a problem waiting to happen. They should be happy that their work partner has a good life outside work.

You're absolutely right. For good reason, they're wonderful.

I dived in a bit, and I will concede that sexual use is not the main reason, since they evolved from primates and previous species in order to produce milk. But all other species don't have them constantly enlarged. Studies show that there are many factors at play, such as providing more area of touch for the human infant and perhaps a more constant source of food since human infants take longer to mature. But they did develop the use for sexual signalling too when we became upright, if for nothing else than for showing sexual maturity. The human brain has probably evolved along with those changes to select which characteristics evolved more pronounced.

So they have multiple uses. The very fact that they are a subconscious trigger for the male has to mean something.

Correct, except for saying everyone else is getting a living wage. I bet most of them are not. Still higher than the server.

that reprehensible fuckstick Scalia openly disagrees that atheism is a valid personal belief system

He doesn't believe in zero indexing, the mad man.

I remember seeing that air. What a opening. Seeing how bad Wolf 359 really was from the inside. Also, I think first time we see starships turn on a dime.

What, two weeks?

How can be either when I just pointed it out and said I don't know if it means anything? Lol

Or did you mean men holding in their feelings? Pretty sure that's a documented science fact.

Back then it was probably a lot easier to make more models, and the quality would be better with a single shot. Some of the original footage has blocky areas where the merging wasn't perfect. Didn't matter back then, it was far better than most anything else, but three model shots plus a background would have been ugly. Original Star Trek footage also has some of that.

Or to put it another way, we couldn't have faked the Moon footage because the technology to fake it wasn't created yet. It was easier to just build a big rocket and go.

If this follows the same pattern as things like the war and other fleecing, we should see say, six to ten different attempts to fix the pool, all failing in various ways, the left blamed for it all, and someone getting tax payer money for the whole clown show.

 

Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page).

Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

 

Running Ubuntu 22.04:

I've tried searching for a solution to this, but there's way too many false positives. I know you can enable/disable using a single instance in two places, but that's not my issue. If I open a video the first time, VLC works fine. If I have both the "only use one instance" off, I can click on other videos and they run too. But if I have any combination of those boxes checked I can only play the first video, and to play a new video I have to manually close the VLC player.

What I want to happen is to have one player spawn, but any new video will run in that player, overriding the existing video. Is that just not possible? I don't want to have to close the window every time I run something new, and I don't want to have to go back and lose a whole bunch of separate VLC instances when I'm done.

Update: I found the solution, and I should have tried it first before posting. Oh well, at least I didn't leave anyone who might find this hanging like a DenverCoder9.

Being Ubuntu, VLC was installed via Snap (I can't recall if I did it or it's default). I suppose I should look into the de-Snap process I've seen mentioned before, as I've also had a few non-crash errors since running Ubuntu where snap was the source.

So the solution was to install the Debian version in terminal, not Snap. It works like I expect and wanted, and I can run video after video and it uses the same window.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
