Damn, even fighter jets have an external override. They're even labeled for rescue workers.

Nighthawkinlight just released a video on a material that accomplishes this that you could make at home.

The choice is pretty easy:

Aid and support to Israel

Or

Aid and support to Israel, and give Ukraine to Russia, and give Taiwan to China, and implement fascism at home

Even if true, there's not equal support around the door.

The bottom of the door isn't braced on the bottom, but the top and edges are.

The left side is supported on multiple hinges that are solid, and keep the edge a fixed distance from the frame. The right and top edges are supported by relatively thin metal that only provide bracing in one direction.

  1. the door bowed from the pressure and the bottom right corner fails first.

  2. once the corner was out there's more leverage for twisting the door.

  3. the top right corner is stuck, diagonal crease appears as the door tries to "twist", this wedges the corner more into the frame.

Pulling the dictionary accomplishes what they want: a dumber future generation.

Pull the Bible, that's what riles them up

Did he really though?

Sliced or mashed avocado has been eaten on some sort of bread, flatbread, or tortilla (often heated or toasted) since humans first started consuming bread and avocados, and before any documented or written history.

According to The Washington Post, chef Bill Granger may have been the first person to put avocado toast on a modern café menu in 1993 in Sydney,[9] although the dish is documented in Brisbane, Australia, as early as 1929

It was safe to burn batteries when they were made of zinc.

Modern battery chemistry is the problem there

That said, I really liked the opportunity to not have to socialize with someone

Great point, how do you think weight loss drugs work?

They make you less hungry or curb your cravings... Making you eat less.

There is some level of R&D they do to productize it, manufacturability and scaling. And running drug safety trials cannot be cheap, especially the liability insurance.

That all said, I think it's criminal that the university labs pay so little. PhD students barely make over $40k, set by the NIH. Not adjusted for CoL either.

I think I have more of an issue with the for-profit nature of pharma companies. Shareholders shouldn't be involved in medicine.
