From what I can find Apple and Google bowed to political pressure and removed all apps designed to do this. Unfortunately I can’t find a working alternative right now. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

I duel degreed in undergraduate earning a BA and a BS simultaneously. The classes in my BA major used MLA and the classes in my BS major used APA. It seems like it was the same in my gen eds, arts classes tended to use MLA and science classes APA. I liked MLA better, APA wants more concise writing and I tend to be somewhat wordy. In my professional career I mostly deal with spreadsheets and autogenerated reports.

Highschool has very limited specialization. You learn lots of stuff you’ll never use because they are trying to give students a wide base of basic knowledge and skills that will be built upon wherever you go next. It is meant to prepare you for a job or a college major but not any specific job or college major. You specialize more in the next step and the further you advance the more specialized you get.

And then the Hawaiians replaced the ham with spam.

There were protests and threats aimed at TOS for being too progressive, particularly on racial issues. TOS didn’t make the command structure clear but as bridge officers and department heads Uhura and Sulu can’t be any lower than 6th in command and TOS had the first interracial kiss on television. Yeah it’s pretty bad looking back at it now but keeping in mind that the first season aired less than 2 years after the end of segregation helps temper the shock.

My neighbor was a maintenance man at an apartment complex and was bitten while emptying mouse traps. He was infected with a virus that caused some kind of lymphatic disease that developed into viral meningitis. He wound up spending months in hospitals and rehab and has permanent brain damage and disability. It was treatable if he had gone to the Dr earlier but healthcare is expensive and hard to access so he decided to wait and see if it’d pass.

The money=morality messaging was pretty off-putting.

One beside the bed, one in the kitchen, and one near the front door.

For oven fires turn off the oven and shut the door. An oven is a fire box, it will contain the blaze. The oven probably isn’t completely airtight but it should be close enough that the fire will use up the oxygen and extinguish itself quickly (the vent will pull hot air out but not let cooler air back in). Let it sit for a while and cool after you can’t see flames anymore to make sure the fire doesn’t reignite when you open the door and let fresh air in. Fire can damage the elements and seals so the oven needs serviced before being used again but so long as the fire was only inside the oven it should be repairable.

Make sure your fire extinguisher has the right rating for the place it is stored. For the oven grease fire, and most kitchen fires, a class K extinguisher would have been most appropriate because it is designed to put out cooking oil fires with minimal splashing.

She’s described as an empath rather than a telepath but she does display telepathic abilities. I think she’s just a weak telepath by betazoid standards and that’s why they highlight her abilities as an empath. In Encounter at Farpoint Troi is able to communicate mind to mind with Riker suggesting that with some time and emotional connection at will or continuous mind reading is a possibility for her.

The Secret Service are police. They are most well known for protecting presidents and their families but their original and primary mandate is to protect the integrity of US currency. They have jurisdiction over all federal financial crimes and a particular focus on counterfeiting.

The Secret Service are law enforcement. Protecting presidents and their families is there most visible role but their original mandate and still primary role is to protect the integrity of US currency with a particular focus on combating counterfeiting.

The Georgia case will be televised, this is one of the federal cases.

Cigarettes aren’t the best treatment for anything and the potential benefits never outweigh the harm but cigarette smoking treats some types of ulcers, colitis, and a few other lower GI issues. It may also prevent or reduce the severity of Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s dementia, endometrium cancer, uterine fibrosis, and endometriosis. It also negatively correlates with DVT and may make you more likely to survive if you have a heart attack.

You can see down votes on Kbin. The reduces are down votes.

The Chambers Flintlock Pattern Gun is also not equivalent to a modern machine gun. Modern machine guns are recoil driven meaning they use the recoil from the last shot to fire the next. Pattern guns chain charges with a projectile between each charge. Once you start firing a pattern gun it doesn’t stop until there is no more ammunition. This was a ship mounted gun that couldn’t be reloaded quickly enough to be used more than once per battle. There were pistol and musket versions created but their capacity scaled down with their size. The ship mounted version is the only one that saw wide manufacturing and use because the single burst slow reloading gun was less effective than the faster reloading more accurate muzzleloader musket.

The Puckle gun had been invented but it was never in wide use or used in war. There is only good evidence for 2 of them to have ever been built. It was also basically nothing like what we would call a machine gun now.

The Gatling gun was invented in 1861 and first saw wide use during the American Civil War. (Approx 4 score and 7 years after the Revolutionary War.)

The Girandoni air rifle was invented and used shortly after the revolution and the founders likely would have been aware of it but it is an air gun not an automatic or semi-automatic rifle. The air tank was good for about 30 rounds but filling the air tank required pumping the hand pump about 1,500 times.

In terms of the advancement of firearms technology here’s something to consider. While both breach loading and rifling were crudely implemented much earlier it wasn’t until America’s westward expansion in the mid 19th century that they came into their modern forms and became standard features on batch produced weapons.

The state destroyed evidence when the police deleted their body cam footage. Don’t fight for minimum sentencing, fight for a federal civil rights investigation, for a legal nonprofit to launch a civil rights lawsuit on his behalf, and for the misdemeanor convictions to be vacated.

We voted on 6 statewide offices yesterday Beshear won one and the other 5 including Attorney General and Secretary of State went to Republicans.

Have you tried 5-HTP? 5-HTP is an amino acid that your body produces from tryptophan and is the immediate precursor for serotonin. It’s a dietary supplement rather than a prescription drug so if you try it look for a good brand that has 3rd party testing, especially with this one because it has a higher risk of contamination due to the process used to synthesis it producing toxic contaminates. Also ask your doctor before trying it because there are some potentially dangerous interactions with drugs that affect serotonin levels. There is some, but not enough, legitimate research on 5-HTP and for some depression patients, including me, it’s more effective than SSRIs because it increases your body’s production of serotonin rather than retaining serotonin longer.
