Some of them burned a few calories standing up from the couch and walking into the polling station to vote. They’ve burned through more savings to pay for groceries and everything else because of all the trumpflation in both terms, but they at least burned off most of a French fry.

Closest thing I can come up with is “ortho”, an abbreviation of the word “othrodontist”.

His brain is so far gone, he’s gonna get trapped in the bathroom because he can’t find the way out.

Edit fixed autocorrect mistakes

Probably more ammo, with a state Supreme Court comment allowing discrimination under guise of religious liberty. To have that opinion backed by the highest Court of a state somewhat legitimizes their case and may put more pressure on the conservative justices to allow sex-based discrimination again.

I understand that learning left from right is a skill to learn. However, it was rare for a teenager to be unable to distinguish their left from right, unlike today.

It’s an easy way to introduce fractions, especially since it’s common to hear/say it’s a quarter passed 2, half passed 5, and a quarter to 9.

Also teaches multiples, since the numbers on the clock represent multiples of 5.

Helps with directions, clockwise is when the hands spin to the right and counter-clockwise to the left. You’d be amazed how many students can’t tell their left from right.

Thats one reason the TX Legislature banned plastic bag bans in the state. Didn’t matter that even the small city of Laredo was saving a couple hundred thousand on cleaning up the waterways while the ban was enacted. The legislature couldn’t have cleaner streets, cleaner water plants, clearer storm drains, and government savings, because it was so oppressive for people to remember to bring a bag or pay 10¢ for a new one.

I wish it happened around W’s terms when the tea party formed to pull votes from Republicans. The Tea Party jumped back into the GOP and shoved them hard right and whatever left wing party could have pushed the democrats left.

They seem to be getting ready to use the pink triangle for its first purpose again.

Might be a different symbol this time, given that the pink triangle became the first pride symbol.

I have it set to automatically change to headphones when they’re plugged in and for all audio to go through headphones when they’re plugged in, however the startup music and log in screen music still play through the TV. After logging into a profile, it’ll switch over to headphones for all audio.

I’ve even left my headphones plugged into the controller after manually choosing headphones for all audio and then turning the PS5 off and on again and it pushes startup and login screen music through the TV.

In the movie, none of them died. Wonka verifies it at his office door when he picks up the mail. Charlie asks about the other kids and Wonka says they’ve been turned back into their terrible nasty selves, but are hopefully wiser for the wear. Wonka then points Charlie and Grandpa Joe to the exit and apologies for not showing them out because he’d already wasted the entire day.

I never had any long load times on my PS4, usually only about 5-10 seconds. However, I think the 5-10 minute load times for PS2, even when just changing areas in a game made me a lot more patient for Playstation games.

I remember avoiding the save feature on Star Wars Battlefront due to the long time it took to save and hours spent on the PS2 Harry Potter games. Walking through a door would trigger a 5-10 minute wait period and you couldn’t necessarily use that as a bathroom break, because you didn’t want to miss a cutscene.

Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.

I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.

I know that the Rav4 Hybrids have a real hand brake, at least when they first started making them. Not sure about the newest ones.

Did toyota get rid of their hand e-brake? I thought they were one of the few left that still had a manual e-brake.

Unfortunately this time, it’s not just Russian propaganda.

It does hold water for this word, since everyone pronounces the word “gift” with a hard g. Taking a consonant from the end of the word wouldn’t change how the first letter is pronounced.

With pop music, maybe. They arent written to be appealing in and of themselves. Pop music is a pretty strict style and structure with the same bass line and same few chords. Then they are played on the radio ad nauseum, so that when it’s first released you become familiar with the song enough to like it. As a batch of pop songs start to become old, another batch is released with similar style and structure. There’s hardly anything new.

In order to keep people excited about a pop song that went through that life cycle 10+ years ago, there needs to be more. Don’t forget that there are quite a few pop performers who rely on auto tune because they can’t sing in tune, so they are just lip-syncing on stage. I’m sure some of the spectacle is also to keep the performers going and energetic during performances of the same pop crap they’ve toured with for more than a decade.

That makes sense now! Thank you, I was having trouble wrapping my head around it!

Any clue why there are 2 bars per year grouping?

I thought it was maybe number of cases in each year, but 2000 at the beginning of the graph and when 2000 appears later don’t match.
