Yeah I don’t really give a fuck about Trump’s height tbh, but you can see by their shadows that Newsom is walking slightly in front and the lens could be affecting our perspectives.

I, too, have been able to resurrect laptops by removing the battery. In theory, the battery should be prepared but bypassed while on charger but in practice a lot of laptops are routed such that battery failure means inoperability.

You said it wasn’t gravity based, cited space travel, I provided evidence directly contradicting you and you said “yes thats all true, but [paragraph] [paragraph]”

I’m glad you reversed your stance after being presented the facts, thank you for being reasonable.

7.3. Abnormal digestion and absorption
Digestion and absorption are disturbed due to microgravity primarily because the absence of gravity alters the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal system. In microgravity, the absence of gravitational forces significantly impacts the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Peristaltic movements, which help propel food through the digestive system, are diminished or altered. This can result in slower transit times and inefficient movement of food through the digestive tract, leading to digestive disturbances (Yang et al., 2020).
In microgravity, fluids in the body shift towards the upper body, causing fluid volume changes and redistribution. This can result in a decrease in blood volume and an increase in fluid accumulation in the head, leading to a condition known as “puffy face syndrome.” The altered fluid dynamics can affect the function of the digestive system. Microgravity can disrupt the normal functioning of the stomach, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort and gastric upset.
The gut microbiome, the community of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption. Microgravity can lead to changes in the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome, which can impact the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. These alterations may also contribute to gastrointestinal issues and nutrient deficiencies. Due to the effects of microgravity on digestion and absorption, astronauts may have altered nutritional requirements. Nutritional supplements and meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of astronauts during space missions (Yang et al., 2020, Amidon et al., 1991).

Yeah I was about to comment that if people do that they will get but problems. Human digestion is gravity based, so you have to wait a few hours after a big meal to go to sleep or you’ll have partially digested food in you, irritable bowels, and leaky butthole for starters. As the problem progresses it will cause hemorrhoids and bloody stool.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 6 days ago:
I would love to see it but the real change can only come from dems sweeping midterms.
There is a whole order of succession which empowers the christofascit VP and then christofascist house speaker, christofascist senate leader, christofascist secretary of state, etc.
There is a chance the cult of personality crumbles, but also a chance he becomes a martyr.

I’m not allowed to talk to the Lesbians, I was permanently banned from 5 blahaj zone communities in one go, three months ago, for having civil discussion about where the overlap between gay and trans begins and ends.
I support the human right of being able to label yourself however you like, but words have meanings. Moral of the story: don’t have civil discussion…?

Well, technically, it was never equal numbers and the gap between has remained the same, but you could argue that maternity and also elderly gender disparity contribute to that.

The vibes I get from the trailer is that it will be similar to Ready or Not, which I thought was an okay movie but that the female lead was too helpless towards the end.

Theres multiple theatrical trailers for the woman in the yard.
- Comment on Sony Closes Simon Pegg & Nick Frost’s Production Outfit Stolen Picture 2 weeks ago:
He wasn’t, the studio was purchased in 2022 and Pegf and Frost were to step away from management as part of the deal.
Then the new owners shut the studio down 3 years later.
Sony likely did this as a way of obtaining talented workers and limiting potential competitors.
- Comment on Sony Closes Simon Pegg & Nick Frost’s Production Outfit Stolen Picture 2 weeks ago:
Lol, I guess they pulled an EA Games shuffle and bought out a studio, reassigned all the talent and assets, and then shut it down.

Here is how you get your hands on plutonium legally.
In both cases it may still be illegal to smuggle into the country and therefor you will need a local supplier after obtaining the proper license. The easiest and least harmful would likely be an ore containing trace amounts of a safer isotope. For higher purity you would need a refined product likely only available at government facilities and contractors.
Ever since the Nuclear Boyscout incident it’s been a lot harder to obtain radioactive elements without tons of paperwork and red tape, and for good reasons.

in the USA:
