Bullshit. There are vast areas of the western US and Alaska where this simply is not economically possible or even desirable. The same is true for huge parts of Canada and Australia and other countries that have very remote and thinly settled regions. Even when I lived in Ireland, which is tiny and relatively densely populated, there were rural communities that only had bus service once or twice a day.
The prefix “Mc” or “Mac” is Celtic anyway, not Germanic, so you failed in that sense too.
More often than not.
But that’s a Federal violation, so not the same thing at all.
Well obviously it’s very difficult for the poor to leave and if you aren’t poor it’s actually a pretty nice place to live.
Also most of the loyalists in the colonies fled to Canada during and immediately after the American Revolution, for obvious reasons.
This. I entirely understand that some people don’t have that option, but it’s worth reiterating that if you have a choice, you’re best off not to have partitions at all.
I run Mint on an 8-year-old Mac desktop machine with no partitions and it’s lightning-fast for everything I need it to do.
It’s also worth mentioning that I have said desktop machine because my wife is a pro photographer and Apple and Adobe have colluded for decades to create a kind of “planned obsolescence” whereby professional photographers are ostensibly locked out of the current industry standard unless they run a very recent version of Photoshop that by design isn’t compatible with hardware architecture that’s more than about 5-years-old.
None. My wife doesn’t know about tact, or the polite white lie or anything like that. She doesn’t have time for that bullshit. It’s one of her endearing qualities.
I can and do agree with everything you argue while also maintaining the objectively obvious fact that context matters in politics.
You either get it or you don’t. I can’t help you with your lack of reading comprehension.
They specifically said that “you can be mad” about it.
You want to have it the way that they’re pushing some kind of agenda, when in fact they’re simply stating what’s true.
“There’s nothing here but war, where the murderin’ cannons roar, And I am sick and tired of this hard fighting.”
So is yours, ambiguous I mean.
In other words, I think you’re being ridiculously over-generous in your interpretation of ancient knowledge.
If it were in fact the case that the ancients had any real notion of Darwinian theory, I think they would have stated it in unequivocal terms, as they did with so many other Platonic and/or Aristotlean concepts.
Vaguely suggestive biblical lines interpreted as somehow suggesting an understanding of Darwinian theory strikes me as wishful thinking.
It’s partially but not entirely true. Having correct technique in your upper body matters too, as does accuracy, timing and the ability to create collisions.
All else being equal in terms of technical skill and leg strength, the guy with the bigger arms, fists as shoulders will have a stronger punch.
I had a ton of muscular atrophy in my right upper body due to a bulging disk in my neck --since corrected by surgery-- and I definitely noticed a huge diminution in my striking power, as did my regular sparring partners at the gym. So it definitely does matter.
I’m doing better now, but still not back to 100 percent and probably never will be. But that’s OK since I’m pretty old anyway.
That’s a very generous interpretation. I don’t think anyone can be blamed for not taking it seriously.
Most of what society tells us will make us feel happy and fulfilled in life is bullshit. Living a good life is primarily about your personal relationships. Things like social status and personal wealth are far less important.
you can always just call them by their first name or something else
Well I didn’t know you were called Dennis.
TBF we use metric wherever it’s needed as in science, engineering and the military. Imperial is more for everyday use and at least some of it, like feet vs meters, is more intuitive than metric since it’s basically the length of a grown man’s foot.
But again, wherever it actually matters, we do use metric.
Yeah but neither of those are by choice, they kind of got forced on us through tradition and regulatory capture.
They specifically said you can be mad. It’s the first sentence in OP’s comment. WTF are you on about?
Oh good, a pompous, nonsensical, deeply condescending, deliberately inflammatory, provincial and unhelpful comment! That’s just what we need, said no one, ever.
