It’s Florida - OP was sweating like this in the first meter

No one wants the ugliness of a war over NK, but everyone wants their natural resources, estimated to be one of the largest deposit of minerals in the world.

And this goes back to the Cold War, which goes back to WWII, and the politics of the president and military commanders, specifically MacArthur, who wanted to continue north and take North Korea decisively to keep the Soviet Union and China from controlling it before it could be reinforced by Chinese soldiers.

At the time, North Korean soldiers were outnumbered by UN forces 3:1, with far more tanks, etc than NK had.

The UN waffled, and by the time they decided Korea should be reunified, China had shipped in nearly 300,000 troops, and an unknown amount of matériel.

Fuck the UN. It’s their fault this is still going on.

The thing is that with progressive bifocals, and the right size lense, this is rarely an issue, as you choose the focus you need by simply moving your eyes and head. When setup properly I rarely need to move my head at all for normal day-to-day stuff, as we naturally put what we’re viewing in the center of our vision.

For example, when looking far, we tend to look upward more, so naturally use the upper portion of a lense. When on a computer or reading, we tend to look downward. Driving is a great example, we look forward and up while driving, down to see the dash, and progressives cover that with no problem.

The only time I run into “problems” is when doing really close work for an extended period, like stuff inches from my face. But for those times, I just switch to readers only while I’m doing that work. These glasses could maybe work there.

Go get em!

Molly’s are my favorite for drywall. They distribute the load well, and don’t move once in place.

I don’t like those “new” plastic screw-in anchors for drywall. They do work well, but they make as big a hole as molly, without the stability.

And these are the wrong ones for any kind of drywall, which is like 97.2% of homes in the US. Even brick often has drywall or plaster on the interior now.

They work well in hard materials, like brick, concrete, etc.

I think the arrow is pointing at something that around here is called a potato.

Wish I could upvote you more.

Any time I take out a slotted screw, I throw the fucker away and replace with (preferably) torx, but I’ll settle for Phillips.

And given the lack of strength in these screws, cam-out is likely a positive (which is what the Phillips what’s designed to do).

Not for a kid it isn’t.

And that’s the point you keep sweeping away.

I don’t think of gaming as socializing - that’s your daughter’s metric.

Not all game players are the same, which is why there are so many different categories of games.

It’s not Apple hate, it’s finding ways to penalize companies that are meaningful.

By tying the penalty to global revenues, Apple can’t simply move their revenue to somewhere else, like they did 20 years ago by going to Ireland.

See the story of Google being fined $500 million… How fast do they recoup that? Minutes or seconds?

5% daily, of global revenue.

Now that’s how penalties should work.

What?

These kinds of questions are meaningless.

Unless you meant it rhetorically.

Usually I’d agree it’s an asshole thing to do, but sounds like OP’s ex was clear they “didn’t want to talk 24/7”.

There’s probably more to this story.

Funny anecdote: I’ve had more luck getting dates from World of Warcraft.

Because common interest, and engagement without an agenda.

All the unfinished projects are testament

Yea, I wouldn’t expect to be able to kill either of those - they’re kind of necessary for the system.

Something is requesting activity from them. When did this start? Is the timing related to a new app or a change in the system?

$2700??

Cant you just find a psychologist and schedule an appointment for a lot less than $2700? Like $250?
