I started feeling self conscious after hitting a BMI just a little under 24 (and immediately worked to drop it back down to the 22-23 range), it makes it difficult for me to even imagine how the morbidly obese can live with themselves.

Really the only part of a casual male outfit are the shoes, and good luck getting men to look at your shoes.
And good luck fitting into men's shoes, women have tiny feet.

If we didn't have an in addition to a we would have a glottal stop instead, which isn't really natural in English outside of a few regional dialects.

In fact it's the whole reason Great White North (and Strange Brew) came into existence.

I'm not seeing estimates on the price to build and maintain that per kWh. Without that, yes, you've failed to do the basic napkin math on practicality.

It's a good thing the world isn't fair or just, otherwise we'd all get what we deserve.

Tried some made of agave (don't recall what restaurant this was at) and while the texture was strange it worked well and didn't turn into a soggy mess. No idea how much they cost vs. plastic though.
Edit: I'm sure wholesale prices are different but I can find plastic straws for 2 cents per on Amazon (and potentially cheaper if I looked harder) while the cheapest agave straws I saw on Amazon were 10 cents per, so not completely terrible.

I can't handle Brussels sprouts, not because of the flavor, but because they smell like death. Had a roommate who would cook them all the time and it would stink up the whole house.
Median salary for a gen-Zer is about $38,000: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/average-salary-by-age/
Assuming they have $40k for a down payment lying around, and ZERO debt, they can afford a $200,000 house. Townhomes in my semi-rural town in Utah are $250,000+. The numbers just straight up just don't pass the smell test.
Edit: Just checked Zillow, the cheapest listing I can find in my town (that isn't a trailer in a trailer park) is $265k, that's for a townhome.

The Silmarillion is my favorite book of all time (though I haven't read it in years now). I'm just kind of baffled now at what you just told me, I knew Rings of Power was bad but not that bad. Why did they have to bring the Silmarils into them at all? Their target audience obviously wasn't Tolkien nerds so what were they hoping to gain by bringing them up at all? The median Rings of Power fan has no idea what the two trees were, or who Feanor and Morgoth were. Meanwhile the median Silmarillion enjoyer avoids the entire series like the plague.

Exactly, the "dead tired" line to the flight attendant, the "I'll kill you last" line to Benny along with the later follow-up of "I lied" right before he drops Benny off a cliff, and I think he says "cool off" or something like that after impaling the final bad guy with a refrigeration pipe or something like that.

If you need a SQL database and don't need multiple concurrent writers nothing beats SQLite in terms of performance and simplicity. But yeah if your usecase falls outside of that it's not really a good fit. Though the SQLite docs explicitly acknowledge that.

Hlynka's was unique in that he reported marrying the girl he accidentally knocked up. It was simply a very different vibe.
FWIW I married the first girl I ever kissed. And the first I ever went on more than 3 dates with, for that matter.

I was thinking more about the large migrant worker populations that are only a few steps removed from slavery, due to the discussion of open borders above.

Sure, we all have biases. But I don't literally get paid to further a specific political agenda, and I have a hard time imagining a world where that doesn't drastically affect your biased far beyond normal.

They tested if you could shoot bullets made out of ice (and meat, and a few other exotic materials) from a normal gun and they didn't work. I don't know if they tested any sort of purpose built ice dart gun (potentially pneumatic?) so it's hard to say if the concept as a whole is "busted."

The War Powers Act and every war since Korea (if not even sooner) suggest otherwise. This is separate from the constitutionality of this

How long they have been there has no bearing on the objective reality of whether the airport is more of a negative than benefit to the locals.
That's one of the many problems with utilitarianism, who has a moral right to agitate for change is unrelated to whether or not the airport is a net benefit. Those who knowingly move near an airport and then complain about it are whiny bitches that will ruin society if we give them any credence, and it's our moral duty to tell them to shut the hell up, completely independent of if the airport is a good or bad thing.
In fact, a localish example recently here in Utah was that several developers built new houses in Lehi, Utah. The new residents then started complaining about the smell from the nearby mink farms and demanded that they got shut down, which they partially succeeded at . The right thing to do would have been to tell these whiny bitches that they shouldn't have moved close to a mink farm if they didn't want to have to deal with the smell. For the record I don't live in Lehi and have no connection to either the mink farms or the whiny residents.

I never knew helldump was a thing back in the day but the circles I hanged out in mostly mocked them for being Lowtax's paypigs.

As an aside, how many Czech speakers do we have on here? I think I've seen two others back on Reddit, plus myself (though I've hardly used it in the last decade)
Dialectic isn't really that impressive, smart, or original though. It's basically just "Conflict between thesis (feudalism, capital, whatever) and antithesis (labor unions, whatever) result in new synthesis (communism, whatever)."
