10 is late for most of them - 9 is pretty common. If you’re at the kind of vacation place where you’re hanging out and relaxing, maybe staying up late, waking up at 8 so you can get ready and get down to eat breakfast, doesn’t feel like last relaxing, which is OP’s point. Of course people can do it, but a lot of times we want to sleep in on vacation.
The margin of older voters who voted for Trump in the last election wasn’t that big. People think the vast majority of boomers are conservatives, but it’s just a slight majority. Similarly, only a slight majority of younger voters voted for Biden.
Yeah, I’m not sure what OP is thinking. It’s like thinking it’s an unpopular opinion that pepperoni pizza is best. Sure, there are people who disagree, but regular potato chips is by far the most popular, it’s in no way an unpopular opinion.
I’ve never had a migraine headache, but my wife gets them like three or four times a year, usually pieces by a visual aura (and sometimes if she just goes into a dark, quiet room, she only gets the aura). She always described it as an “electric caterpillar” crawling from the side. I was glad she had told me about it in detail because several years ago I got one, and that’s the only reason I knew what was happening. Mine wasn’t as colorful as what she described, but otherwise the same.
Here’s a short video simulating one, and it’s very similar to my experience (and, apparently, hers).
It’s that another name for Aegosoma scabricorne?
For sure could be. They don’t leave their stingers, they hurt like hell, and they’re complete assholes.
When the stinger comes out, it’s basically the whole back end of the bee. It’s kind of fiendish: the venom sack and a little muscle are in the very end of their butt. The stinger has a barb, so when they stick it in you, and you brush them off, the whole assembly rips off the bee and the muscle keeps pumping the venom into you. The bee dies.
So it’s very obvious if the stinger came off.
Evolution (natural selection) doesn’t work that way though. That would only work if either people started only having kids with shorter people, or those stresses you’re taking about caused people to die before having kids, which I didn’t think is happening.
I don’t believe there’s a venom difference. They got called “killer bees” because they tend to swarm people much more often than European, not because an individual sting is worse.
With that reaction, and no stinger, are you sure it was a honey bee? They pretty much always leave a stinger.
If you’re getting them flying into your face or stinging you when you’re not messing with their nest, it’s very possible you’re dealing with Africanized Honey Bees (AFBs). They’re basically impossible to tell apart just by looking at them. Aside from genetic testing, you have to do it by behavior. Lots of little differences, but two more obvious ones are:
I have a friend whose parents came to the US from Holland, and I believe he’s 6’6" (201cm). He said it was really strange when he went to Holland to visit family because he’s so used to being a head taller than everyone else - looking out over a crowd - but in Holland there were tons of people as tall as he.
Very interesting that the article says the current Dutch generation is shorter than their parents.
I completely agree that they should. Recognize though that other people are going to find some things more attractive than others. That’s okay - we’re not obligated to dress in a way others find attractive - but many people do care about being attractive.
People often find a lot of change in their thirties (I sure did). I don’t know if it’s metabolism slowing down or just life getting more crowded and sedentary for so many of us. I was super skinny all my life - in my teens I had to force myself to eat until I was uncomfortably full just to stay even - but in my thirties I got a little belly. I also lost most of my hair in my mid twenties, so I looked like a different person between 20 and 30.
The plane on a treadmill one has seemed straightforward to me. Lift is caused by the air moving over the wing and the obvious intent of the treadmill in the thought exercise is that the plane is only moving relative to the belt, so there’s no opportunity for lift (no air flowing over the wings). Any other interpretation seems disingenuous.
The one that made me scratch my head for a while is the bicycle on the treadmill. People generally know that it’s easy to stay balanced on a moving bicycle, but hard to balance on a stationary one, so is it easy or hard to balance on one that’s on a treadmill?
A lot of people think that the stability of a moving bicycle is caused by the gyroscopic effect of the spinning wheels, but that turns out to contribute relatively little compared to the force of a body leaning one way or another.
What actually makes it easy to keep a moving bicycle going straight (or what contributes the most) is that the design has self-correcting steering. When you lean to the right, the shape of the forks causes the front wheel to point left, and vice versa, keeping you going relatively straight as long as you have some minimum amount of forward motion.
And since that forward motion is relative to the surface the tires are on, it works just fine on a treadmill. You can even find YouTube videos of people who ride their bikes on treadmills, and it’s very evident.
Funny, in my early PC days it was a very frequently used key. Lots of times programs would hang in a way that you couldn’t otherwise get out of them. It was also super easy to make a mistake in a DOS command or .bat file that would either run endlessly or for way longer than you intended, so being able to just stop execution was super useful.
For sure freezer, and never fridge. Frozen bread, especially sliced bread, thaws really fast. If you leave it on the counter, it stays soft okay, but goes moldy quickly. In the fridge, it lasts okay but gets kind of hard quickly. In the freezer, when you thaw it, it will be soft until it’s freezer burned, and lasts like months.
Look at you, bringing this thread back from the dead.
First of all, even if we take what you’re saying at face value, how does it being an original text in any way prove that its contents are true? If I made up a completely original story today about a stuffed animal that eats pickles and poops diamonds, would that mean that such a thing exists?
Secondly, we can’t take what you’re said at face value because Qur’anic and Muslim scholars are very divided about the origins of the Quran.
That’s great, at least as long as you’re truly letting go of it and not pushing it down someplace.
It’s pretty easy for me to feel sadness, but anger is just a very unnatural state for me. Probably to an unhealthy degree in that there are probably times when I should be mad, but instead just get despondent.
It just seems so moronic. That’s getting up to a temperature where your body can’t cool down enough and it’s going to be fatal with prolonged exposure.
