I mean, maybe. But flood waters are a massive deathtrap. He had to have known at any second he could step into a strong current and be sucked under. He had no rope. No support. Dude's a hero.

My cat eats a few bites of food then finds a string, swallows it down a good bit, then pulls the string back up from her throat and takes a few more bites of food. This continues for her whole meal.

There's nothing more disgusting than stepping on her food string. It's cold and wet. So gross.

Look, I know this is a late response and all but this is serious: it's feeding a mogwai after midnight that turns it into a gremlin. Gremlin feeding times have no impact on their behavior.

I think you need to tell A that sharing this feedback with you won't help B change, and that they need to address B directly or talk to their supervisor.

You can also say that sharing this feedback with you is putting you in an uncomfortable position, as you are friends with both of them, and you need it to stop. It's perfectly okay to validate A's complaints ("I understand why you feel the way you do") so that A doesn't feel like you are dismissing them. But that doesn't mean you have to be in the middle.

Having spent many years in corporate life, I can tell you that one of the biggest blockers to people improving is that no one tells them there is a problem to begin with. Person B may have no idea they're underperforming. And to be fair, I can't tell from this whether their supervisor would even agree that B is underperforming; B may be doing just fine from management's perspective, in which case A needs to let it go.

Good luck!

So imagine a society dominated by men.

This society knows that sex is what leads to children. What it doesn't know is how to verify if a child belongs to a particular man.

As this society is patriarchal in nature, it's very important to the leaders/men that their lineage is protected. So they need a way to ensure that children's bloodline can be properly guaranteed. The only way to control that is to make sure that women are bound to a specific man, and that sex with any other man is forbidden/disgusting. This is why bastard children and unwed mothers have historically been treated with such disdain. But men were often given a pass. The women were screwing up lineage tracking.

Tracking is less an issue these days, but the social conditioning is still there. We've forgotten why we prioritized it in the first place (right or wrong). Now it's the way many people think because it's been the way we've behaved for so long, much of society is geared around it being a basic truth.

Hi! Googling this question reveals the answer is yes, it does result in fusion.

As far as the output, according to this top result paper, that depends heavily on the size of the black hole, the size and speed of the accretion disk, and the medium from which the black hole is drawing (like a white dwarf vs interstellar gas).

From what I can make out--and I have no background--the author maps out results as high in weight as nickel.

Edit: grammar

I love the discussion here as to possible reasons why the labeling is different.

That said, there's a very good chance it's just because the initial version had 3, got translated, then someone added a 4th item and it never got translated.

OP is saying they've heard people claim it but hasn't seen evidence. They're wondering if anybody has some, because otherwise they're treating it as a rumor.

I don't know. Ford was a lot of shitty things. But he was also an actual innovator, not just an investor who thought he was an innovator.

And as egocentric as he was, he still saw the value in providing free healthcare, food, reasonable hours, and good wages to workers.

He was a collosal asshole but I don't think it's fair to compare him to Musk.
