And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I’d like to point out, ‘proper’ jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is ‘up to a year,’ but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait… isn’t ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It’s still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

Damn, how do they get the price of the ink so low? I would kill for large size prints of my guts innards for $5.

Okay, look, exponents are okay, but when you start using factorials with decimals in the exponents? You’re just a jerk.

and the bacterium cant divide anymore. That gives the immune system time to kill them off.

I personally loved my microbiology’s professor summary of this: “For microbes, if you’re not growing, you’re going.”

I once thought the females of the species had one opening for both. Growing up on a farm means you have some wicked advanced knowledge compared to other kids your age, but can introduce some really hilarious beliefs…

I never thought about why I thought women were more like our chickens than our horses/cows, but eh, some things just pan out.

Blowing bubbles is always the first thing I taught kids when they were learning to swim.

…that seems like it must have been faked. Even if the nerves had been burned off, that’s serious damage. Nerves are in the dermis, and if that gets burned seriously enough to make all the nerve endings dead, you’re going to have a bad time. Just because the pain isn’t being felt also doesn’t prevent further damage.

If you really want to be an inconvenience, DON’T give them the plate numbers. Those will almost certainly come back to some entity or person that will clue the dispatchers in on them being government owned.

were obviously kidnappers, your honor, is what my client meant to say.

I mean, sort of, yes, but also no? It’s another tool of power for a tyrannical government to wield, even if it is against companies I dislike.

Isn’t that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html

If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don’t have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.

Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.

His welcome, sure, but what about the rest of our welcomes?
