I was going to say that it is quite common in Germany too but I guess the Germans brought it with them huh?

You sound awfully confident about that number.

Where’s the TV? That looks like a bunch of stairs.

That’s fair it probably is safer than most people have you believe. I wouldn’t go for any VPN that clearly logs stuff that can be traced back to me, that would defeat most of the purpose (unless it’s one for accessing machines in my home network).

I too am out of the loop but why not use tor? The VPN companies can still trace it back to you if what you did turned out to be illegal.

The table that does it that way is a complete mess but I guess it was a good idea and got some things right.
They first started doing it with valence shells in 1864, Mendeleev had a pretty close one based on atomic weights in 1871 and correctly predicted that there were missing elements based on valences + weights. The atomic numbers which determine the valences appear to have been discovered about 40 years later.
I guess you are correct but I think the question was about the modern table.

Do you have spies behind you when playing cards too?

I’ve never heard anyone say either of those things but I don’t have an argument against the first one based my understanding of gender.

I am definitely on your side but being aware of things can be very depressing.

Huh? It’s sorted by number of electrons/protons (atomic number) the mass is dependent on that and the number of neutrons.
The eight main groups are based on the number of electrons missing for the atom to reach a full valence shell. Once it is full (8th group, noble gasses) it starts a new Period (row). I’m not sure how the other groups are chosen (probably some quantum physics that I never had in chemistry class). After looking it up Wikipedia says it just keeps going that way.
Electronegativity describes how much it “wants” to attract negative charges and doesn’t affect the order (Flourine has the highest and is in group 7). I think you may have confused it with ionization energy which would certainly match my understanding of the top half of the periodic table and probably does work for the lower half too now that I think about it.
The groups tend to have similar properties but that is not why they are sorted that way. Hydrogen for example is quite different from other elements in group one. The colours are probably better for finding common properties.

I think providing human rights to it’s citizens is definitely more important, not sure if it is necessarily the primary one though.

Yeah, not sure I should try to go through the trouble of changing my gender marker now though. (I don’t even think I can be drafted for a number of reasons.)

That’s not fair! Strawberries are some of the yummiest healthy foods and can even be made unhealthy with copious amounts of whipped cream and/or ice cream!

I did actually see that but it could always have been refilled by something else, therefore not making my joke infeasible.

Don’t worry, it’s probably destilled water.

How does a straight threesome work? (I suppose every participant could be straight but it seems like two might be weirded out by eachother, no?)

And now they’re gone, quite slowly though.

They just tried… Trans people are part of the queer community they can still be attracted to the opposite gender.
- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 2 weeks ago:
Think of the asexuals! PQ (pretty, queer) or POFQ (pretty, optionally fucking, queer) are much better.
- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really see how you got that from the comment but that would be a good point.
- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 2 weeks ago:
A big downside to that is that queer was originally insult and some people have negative associations with it and therefore avoid it and might not want to be categorized as such I have heard the “queer community” be used especially in spoken language. The letters LGBT have also been around for a while so it would be weird to get rid of them now.
- Comment on 98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am. 2 weeks ago:
I personally would use Kelvin for science, Celsius is much more useful for everyday things like whether it will rain or snow, whether the paths will be icy, how hot it will be according to the weather report and how hot to make stuff when boiling water or cooking. Kelvin is great for not having negative temperatures which don’t make sense.
