Tampons weigh nothing

When you’re dealing with the tyranny of rocketry, every gram matters.

That said, I agree with your point. The mass and volume was well within acceptable mission parameters.

In this example, the child is living, and has needs.

Very nice.

How about those Epstein files?

Remember, tortillas make every kind of meat better.

Can’t imagine you’d want to put your mouth on a pig or cow either, but properly butchered and prepared, they are quite palatable.

I imagine it’s the same principle.

I suspect that the reaction to the edited video spooked them. They were expecting to get away with that, and when it was so easily called pot as a fraud, they had to reconsider.

Also, that whole thing is nonsense of the highest order.

Some of this makes a bit of sense, but it still leans heavily on perception by others, rather than respecting what people know about themselves. This does not seem to be what many transgender persons want.

I’ll think about it.

So, as a white person, I cannot pass as black, so I can never expect people to treat me like I’m black?

Don’t get me wrong, I think the idea is silly, but all the arguments I’ve seen in this thread are a word-swap away from being a bad argument against transgender people.

What’s the essential difference?

It actually comes from artillery, but it’s the same idea.

I question the accuracy of this statement. Archers existed long before black-powder artillery. At the same time, though, I don’t know if anyone would have been concerned with that measurement, way back when.

EDIT: Wikipedia suggests that the term did, in fact, originate with muzzle-loaded artillery. Good on you for correcting me.

I’m sure that applies for some combination of bow, arrow, and archer. I’ll add it to the list of things 5e has done to irritate me.

The technical term comes from archery. In archery, the arrow rises when fired, so when shooting at very close targets, you actualy aim lower than the point you want to hit. At distant targets, of course, you aim higher, because the arrow will start to fall.

“Point Blank” is the distance at which you aim directly at the target. Last time I did any shooting, it was about 22 feet, with my bow and my arrows.

I’m curious to know what you think “point blank” means.

I’m familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

My loyalty is for sale.

I mean we as a group. Some of us will, but they will be decried by the rest of us. Too much, too far, too soon.

If we could all get on the same page, that would be one thing. But it’s like unions, isn’t it? Once man stopping work is just quitting. The whole factory stopping work is industrial action.

I don’t think we have the stomach to pull that off.

I’d love to be wrong, though.

Everybody isn’t going to lose. All of us will, but the rich assholes are gonna win.

It wasn’t an American who wrote “Foot Heads Arms Body.”

Because “spied for,” and “spied with” are both options.

“I spied them” is a legitimate sentence, but it doesn’t mean covert surveillance in that sentence, only to have seen then, generally through some difficulty.
