don’t let the lack of feedback bring you down. some of us lurk, see and appreciate. thank you for everything you do!

looks nice, but why does it seem to be getting review bombed in chinese?

Norway?

Also No Man’s Sky, somehow still getting free content

for testing new speakers and adjusting the equalizer, Megadeth - Trust

drums in the beginning for the low frequencies, followed by some nice guitar work for balancing the high ones

I wouldn’t call it an issue, though, more like working as intended. I have no problem with paying for state health contributions even though I don’t use the services that much myself. Because it brings up the overall health for everyone around me which also benefits me indirectly. Think of it as an investment.

…can’t tell if illithid or zombie…

not sure what you mean by opioid+nsaid prescription painkillers, so I’ll assume it’s a mix of opiods plus NSAIDs. wouldn’t make much sense to add aspirin/naproxen/ibuprofen on top of that, as they are also NSAIDs and that role’s already been filled

paracetamol is also a fairly good painkiller so my guess is they’re probably going for some synergy there as well

Fully agreed. And to add on top of that, the world cannot take adequate care of all the children in it right now, and there are voices shouting we need more?

guessing some of them had (have?) some ties to russia or russian assets one way or another

or, it could be that some russian resources may be vital and hard to replace, so they had make some compromises. I know from a few years back, for instance, that cobalt-60 gamma sources were sourced nearly exclusively from russia. and those are needed worldwide for sterilization via gamma-irradiation of all sorts of things (including the single-use syringes widely used in hospitals). and that’s just one example. wonder how many more there are

otherwise, I can’t really understand why russia wasn’t briefly excluded from SWIFT

why, though? the other options would be just as likely

Nationality of somebody born on a plane wouldn’t be a big deal as long as at least one of the parents comes from a country where lex sanguis applies. If lex solis applies (as in the USA) then they could in fact be stateless unless their parents have some other nationality.

And, if I remember correctly, the captain has the responsibility to record births and deaths on board an airplane. So you might be on to something with the paperwork.

what about the blood?

I think he means that the ureter itself cannot be transplanted, so the root cause is not solvable. A kidney transplant would be like putting in a new lightbulb in a defective lamp.

OP’s username checks out. Another case of nominative determinism?

you now have tourette’s and speak that incantation uncontrolably. the only medication for it is lead-based. lead is otherwise harmless to you.

1 mL (or cubic centimeter) of water weighs 1g, not 1 mg. 1 mg would be 1 microliter of water, or one millionth of a liter.

Blair’s Death.

Really liked one of their XB series.

concert tickets for 30$? sweet

that is a lot of patience. I applaud you. my beers always get tested during the aging process enough so that by the time they get to the 6 month mark I maybe have 6/34 left. and the conclusion on the final ones is always ‘should have let them all age until now’. I never make lambics though
