When you’re trying to pee, try working up some spit in your mouth like you’re going to spit a bunch of saliva out. Not a loogie from the throat / sinus area but plain spit from under your tongue. For me it seems like this is connected to the piss-releasing nerves and helps to let it flow.
How do you write a dissertation on acoustic signaling for creatures that have been extinct for millions of years? It’s all untested theory on top of untested theory.
Maybe based on the bones and flesh imprints in the rock you could recreate what the sounding cavity may have been like, which would help you get an idea for what sort of vocalizations would be possible.
Turning a raptor bone into an ocarina is the plot line of like 30% of Jurassic Park movies. The other 70% is using raptor bones to pretend disembowel children. It’s all raptor bones.
I sorta get it, but stuff like that can only tell you so much. It’s an awful lot of hypothesizing and guesswork - so much that I’m surprised you can make a dissertation out of it.
Then again, I’ve never had to write a dissertation, so I don’t know what’s involved.
Teenagers do stupid shit. So while it’s not something everyone does, it absolutely happens. No it’s not something anyone should seriously try. You cannot effectively clean a vegetable and it can break, requiring embarrassing medical attention.
And yes, one of the reasons for an allowance is because teenagers need some agency and privacy to become normal healthy adults. If they want to explore their sexuality alone it’s perfectly natural.
My ex was an operating room nurse. She had a few choice stories.
Dude came in with an English cucumber stuffed so far up there they needed to knock him out to remove it. It’s all slithery and soft. It was literally baked.
My ex used to love cucumber. Chow down on them all the time. Not after that.
Yes. There was a new streaming service that I signed up for. I used an email alias and the confirmation email never arrived. They had no way to change my email address or activate my account except for me clicking the link in my email.
After a month my free trial expired (without me ever being able to log in), they added a second month of free trial while trying to activate my account. This went on for 5 months, finally the 6th month they did not give me another free month and I was charged. Still no solution for the situation. 7th month arrives and I get charged again. The 8th month I lost it. I knew most of the support and customer service reps at this point as I had talked with also all of them multiple times a week for months. But with no solution in sight and being charged for multiple times months I finally lost it on one of the CSRs. Surprisingly while I was on the phone with them they were able to cancel my account and issue a refund.
If the distro just boots into a live session, you can get a pretty good idea there. They’re all working off of roughly the same kernel and driver and firmware sets, give or take some distros being a year out of date. The slower distros have something like “backports” or “enablement kernels” to still give you the option of pulling in newer stuff.
The graphics situation (compositor and mesa and kernel drivers and userland driver libraries) is more complicated. Especially with Nvidia. Your distro choice makes a much bigger impact there.
The problem is that the game developers at Valve don’t know or care about their own platform. CS2 on Linux is an afterthought, possibly even ported by other people within Valve. CS2 had a lengthy beta period on Windows, with the formal CS2 release, the beta cycle on Linux just started.
Well, technically they’re different people. But the same systems of power always lead to similar results. This is one of the main fallacies of representative democracy.
Want better mods, you need a better system. The modlog here is an improvement, as is the ability to choose your instance. But those things aren’t enough to offset the inherently authoritarian mod structure of Reddit which was largely copied.
I never used those apps. But generally didn’t like the treatment of the communities by the admins. At least here, I can and do swap around between them to avoid those admin. The mods were rarely an issue on either platform ime. I got a temp ban on one community here and given what people thought I was saying and the purpose of the community, I think it was deserved.
