they’re duplexes/townhouses, that’s two separate dwellings. the picture is taken from a similar building, it would be one of those windows in what you called a hallway. The bricks look fine. Where you see a smaller brick that looks out of place, it’s actually turned 90 degrees so the brick extends into the structural wall behind it and ties the facade to teh structure.

They’ve been observed to use fish and other stuff for … relief, so I guess the answer is “not necessarily”?

recoil also tends to pull high (if you’re not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff

I had read that his wife had some condition that needed health care, and if he were convicted and removed from office, she would lose that coverage. However, because he killed himself before that, she remained covered under the government plan being his widow.

Trying to maximize is only part of it, the other really big thing with legalization and commercial growers is consistently predicable and measurable strength.
I usually prefer edibles, which were not really a thing the way they are now. I can go to a store or online and order a pack of edibles in a very wide range of concentrations, all lab tested and certified and each piece is incredibly consistent.
The same goes for flower; a grower can produce a crop and tell you exactly how strong it is, and I can take that information and use it for consistent dosing. There’s really no guesswork or wondering if the “super strong bud” is actually that, or not at all, or “I took one puff and I can now smell sound” strong. You are right though in the amount of the latter that is produced and just how strong it’s getting, but that does seem to be plateauing somewhat.
One good thing about high % weed though, is if you’re simply using it to get high and smoking it, it’s a lot less volume to have to smoke, which is overall way better for your throat and lungs.

and 25km/h isn’t super fast on a bike either, at least not for someone in reasonably ok shape and a bike that’s somewhat configured for cycling on roads.

Likely not real ice cream, but the cheaper (and more common) ice milk - it has a lower fat content, so more water, and in certain conditions ice crystals do form into small chunks.

Most of the time, they didn’t even try. I’ve copy/pasted their exact question before and the answer was in one of the top 5 articles.

9 times out of 10 it’s a stupid question that they could have typed into Confluence to get the answer though. I gatekeep all of these requests with

Not to mention for the wipers up bit, it’ll stretch out the spring that provides the tension needed to hold it to the window, so even after the wipers thaw, they’ll still work for shit, but now they’ll work for shit forever!

Or to stick with the vegan/meat analogy - making the perfect vegan sausage patty by making several meat patties, each one with iteratively less meat until a vegan patty is left, as well as several dead pigs.

I wonder if that’s why so many sequences use “4 on the floor” arranged roughly around a 12 bar pattern, or a specific piece of classical music that the studio could have gotten from public domain

Some aspects of a bartender’s job are already automated - there are “robot bars” where machines prepare and serve drinks. What can’t be automated are the human aspects of the job, as much as AI can mimic conversation, it can’t do empathy or really any genuine emotion which is an important aspect of a bartender/server’s job
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 2 months ago:
it’s faster typed out as well. When I worked call centres, we’d shorthand all of our notes because we had 15-30 seconds to wrap up the final notes after the call ended, not to mention no agent wants to read a novel to get up to speed.

Fat is also less dense than water, so this particular ICE probably would float.

- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 2 months ago:
I remember having to memorize some amount in like grade 10 science, I think the first 10 were required - but only the name, symbol, and in order. We didn’t have to memorize any of the other details and on tests we either had a full table to work from or the test would provide the relevant information for the elements needed.
I think the memorization part was more a brain development excercise for kids, every class had some sort of “memorize these few things” up until grade 12 or so.

- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
I have ADHD. Open tabs lose context, I forget why they’re open, so they are useless. Bookmarks are categorized and that organization keeps the context apparent. I currently have 5 tabs open, and after submitting this reply, it will be four.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…
right?
