It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.
I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn’t last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.
But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.

Just because you are all out of fucks, doesn’t really have anything to do with the finite/infinite nature of all fucks.

I hope this is real.
What a great story. I especially liked that the cousin had joined a badminton club and was going out to enjoy opera.

My 3 boys, and various friends loved that toy.
Yes; a lot of things get hit, even themselves.
To anyone saying that these are a bad toy. You are wrong! There are so many learning opportunities for babies and toddlers in this toy.
It is super cool seeing a really little kid “building” the duplo with their little hammer.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
I was surprised by the reaction to this movie. I really enjoyed it.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
I get this, other than Pulp Fiction, I dislike all of Tarantino’s films.
I don’t like the style or the pacing, I don’t like the revisionist take on events.
But people generally like his films.

That is one bold assumption right there.

It is pretty much this, same reason lawyers use “legalese” in contracts. That word has an accepted meaning, when used the meaning is clear to others in the field. You don’t need an extra document to define each term as it is expected that others in the field will understand the language used.
In saying that, sometimes it is just complication for the sake of complication.
There is a saying, usually attributed to Einstein but could also be William of Ockham:
Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.
People often focus on the first part while ignoring the more important second part. When something is made too simple, you lose the nuance and fine detail that makes it a useful concept. Not everything can be ELI5’d, somethings are just really complicated.

- Comment on Anon loses weight 5 weeks ago:
Don’t rush.
Base it on how you feel. If you still feel unhealthy, then sure, put on a few extra kg. But if you feel ok, then don’t worry.
- Comment on Anon loses weight 5 weeks ago:
Earlier in the year I was in hospital for a while, had to have surgery. I went in at 80kg and after 5 weeks was just under 66kg.
I’m 175cm tall, BMI 26.1 (technically over weight, but was very fit) down to 21.6, which is considered “normal” but I felt very skinny and unhealthy.
The BMI thing is a little bit bullshit, since it doesn’t map fitness level.
As for getting back to a healthy weight, take it slow, eat really healthy foods eat mostly nova 1 & 2 foods, some nova 3 and avoid nova 4 if possible.
Also if you have been on antibiotics while in hospital, eat ferments like kimchi or sauerkraut, maybe drink some kombucha to rebuild your gut flora. But take it slow as it can really mess you up if you dump too much in at once.

In one of their multitude of inter-nation conflicts; two cities were consumed in nuclear fire. On any sane world; these areas would be abandoned and the area around them a quarantine zone; the humans obviously not being fully sane, rebuilt and flourish.
This is related to the fact that humans along with most of the inhabitants of Sol3, are highly resilient to damage; of all kinds.
Humans reproduce slowly; but even though they generally reproduce not far above replacement rate, their resilience means their population still grows at an exponential rate. And on top of that; their advances in medical technology are on the verge of massive life extension. Soon they will have to move out into space; the galaxy better get ready for them.

This is the way.
Getting my 5yo to accept that he can peddle and balance by himself; takes longer than the ability. He used to crash once he realized I had stopped balancing him, sometimes it would take a minute or more.

Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.
The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.
Also as others pointed out, we don’t work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more…so the natural protection isn’t building up like it did in the past.
- Comment on I am really trying here, ok? 2 months ago:
Don’t be.
I who don’t care for sport at all, am now aware more about breaking then I would be; I saw some other matches 100% because of her actions. I would not have bothered otherwise.
She brings more interest to the sport; I only saw three events, the rock climbing (I climb); some of the kayak (kayak cross is awesome) and some of the breaking.
So there you have it; of the very small amount of the Olympics I watched, breaking was part of it.

There is another option.
Just going to put this out there, cook too much the previous night, don’t eat all the dinner you cooked. Place the remainder into some form of container; transport said container to work with you the next day.
Lunch is sorted when you make your dinner!
