I talked to some folks who worked at Laika a while back at a party. They loved working there. This was some years ago, and my memory is a bit beer soaked, but they seemed happy and proud of what they did.

its hyperbole for clicks. the guy recognizes Aardman in the video and basically just says they are not doing well financially which seems true. https://www.business-live.co.uk/enterprise/aardman-animations-faces-financial-woes-32724904

the parental control thing is a thin smokescreen. Its about control.

The reality is our OSs and the websites we visit know exactly who we are. They know our blood type, they know if you are pregnant before you do. Why would they need your ID?

Colorado also has a bill and there is one in the works at the federal level. But yes, its bullshit.

hot plates have a motor and a magnet that couples with a stir bar.

there is however this sort of thing for stoves: https://www.amazon.com/JossaColar-Fireplace-Electric-Accessories-Thermometer/dp/B0BDM14HVM

I was thinking the oldest was the mayor…

the middle child is obviously the villain.

Exactly. They want to be perceived as smarter (basically look down on the unwashed masses.) They don’t want to do the work to be more educated. Hence the hurdles they can put in front of the poors while they get to pay for fastpass to skip the line directly into the ivy leagues.

They were NEVER smarter. At most at one time they had more leisure time and access to books and tutors when reading and books were rare. That made them more educated, and they want to go back to that desperately.

Let’s break this down and look at it a different way.

If my hobby were shooting guns and I were to set up a shooting range in my garage and I killed a neighbor, am I responsible?

If my hobby were fireworks and I was making them in my kitchen and burned down my apartment building killing 3 people, am I to blame?

The driver is engaging in a dangerous hobby in a reckless manner. We all know racing is dangerous because people die even in controlled conditions. We know he is being reckless because he is not racing in a place designed for it. When you put others in harms way based on your own stupidity, you face consequences.

thank you

is there a similar contingency in the California law?

I do lots of vegies. classics are zuchini (cut into slabs lengthwise), onion (quarters or rings together) mushroom, bell pepper quarters. Also eggplant (cut in discs), whole tomatos are really good grilled.

Getting into the more novel stuff:

romaine

waffles

also kabob is always good and pretty easy.

I’ve been given some equipment that recorded my breathing and heartrate (little tubes near my mouth and nose, chest strap). just check em out and return them the next day.

I’m in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master’ so we reclaimed Saturdays and I’m not running the taxi service solo.

Shit is exhausting, but I am glad our daughters got to see their mom a accomplished something so huge, and I’m proud to have supported her along the way.

I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.

My favorite take on the subject Internet Comment Etiquette: “The Mandela Effect”

gotcha. What about assets? Im not an accounting person, but we routinely buy tooling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Raw materials have costs/value associated with them. How would that figure in?

this is interesting to me. can you show your work? Id be interested in going through the thought experiment as well.

I listen to mostly death metal and my wife is into musicals. Its really not an issue. I have gone with her to Book of Mormon (a musical), she has gone with me to metal shows… actually she used to get me back stage to several (she worked catering). Neither of us is going to choose to play the others music when we are by ourselves, but we can find a little common ground regardless.

Face to fist style.
