They used that part of the 13th that said “Well, except prisoners, those can be slaves.” Local law enforcement rounded up former slaves on trumped up charges and leased them back to the same plantation owners they were freed from. Only now if they escaped they were “escaped criminals” and they could count on even northern law enforcement returning them. The US is still a pro-slavery country and will be as long as that part of the 13th amendment stands.

Mallet. Or at least according to my CRNA father, but he could have been pulling my leg.

Don’t underestimate green bronies.

Pull it off the wall, you mean. That masking tape ain’t holding crap.

Gravity and Inertia are harsh mistresses.

Having made this sort of move several times in my youth with my parents, and a couple times as an adult, stick to the interstate as the others have said. Don’t worry about the mountains unless you’re doing it in winter, the moving van will be able to handle it if it has been properly maintained. 99% of the gas stations next to the interstate will be able to accommodate your situation, as well. If you can, break it into 3 days of driving 6 hours or so. Figure each stop will be about 30 minutes long with any food stops being up to an hour.

My wife has stage 4 colon cancer. One thing people who don’t know some who has had cancer don’t understand is that you can have it for a long time before it becomes so obvious that you have it. So while she has been far more susceptible to diseases before we figured it out, she found out because she went into the first stage of sepsis due to a necrotic tumor in her uterus that got infected. Sepsis isn’t a disease, it’s condition. Any infection can cause sepsis so it isn’t a symptom but something caused by the symptoms, an add on effect, if you will. If not treated in time, you die of septic shock. Again, septic shock isn’t a disease but a condition brought on by a disease. So no, dying from all diseases does not cover everything that you can die from that cancer or emphysema or COPD can have an effect on. In my wife’s case, had we waited 24 hours more, she would have likely died because her organs would have started failing due to acidosis. Again, not a disease, a condition. Even if they had been able to treat her in time, her cancer would have likely made their treatments less effective than as they would have been for someone without cancer.

Let me try to put it in better terms. A disease can create a condition which can have a negative effect on the body. This condition is not necessarily solely caused by that disease, so it isn’t a symptom. This condition, like acidosis of the blood, can then go on to create further problems, like organ failures, which you can die of. So in this example, the cause of death is organ failure, not acidosis, not the disease. and not the cancer. Without the cancer, the disease might not have spread as fast or happened at all. And thus, quitting smoking improves your chances of not dying from all causes, not just all diseases.

The only thing that would top this would be using punch cards. I think that’d be around 58 million punch cards for Win11.

Can you notch the corner and make a card double the capacity?

What people don’t get is that it is just using your body’s naturally produced feel good chemicals - endorphins - to make you feel better. It is no different than relying on alcohol or drugs, legal or illegal, to treat your symptoms. You still have to do the hard work to try to cure or lessen your mental illness.

Unfortunately.

Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.

The one on the left is giving Malazan vibes. If someone could manage to keep a K’chain Che’malle caged up, I could see somewhere in the world turning fighting it into a blood sport.

My experience has been that most of that is either the lights just being left on or cleaning crews. Oh, or coworkers hooking up.

You cannot be a Republican and a follower of Christ’s teachings at the same time. The two are antithetical.

It only mentions ring 0 access in your link, ergo they responded to your post because it was the most appropriate. At least that’s how I see it.

Did they change it? Because now it says “Allows Deep, Virtually Unfixable Infections” and that seems to say exactly what you are.

That is not what is being discussed and was never being discussed. You’re sounding like you’re being pedantic to try to pick a fight
