I have a WILD idea on how to reduce the growth of that statistic to 0.

What if, and bear with me here....

What IF.... We stopped sending Israel weapons and armor.

I meant more as a "we knew it was possible just not WHY it was possible" kind of way, not "we didn't believe triangles make sense because it's not possible at all" kind of way.

I'm not a wordsmith either so I hope that makes sense...

Neat!

So super simplistic paraphrasing, once you know the shape of the box, you can start mapping around it? Maybe?

I'm not a mathologist, so this reads to me like "they proved it is what it is because of the way it is. That's pretty neat!"

I can understand it's significant, but that's about it. From my understanding, this doesn't really change anything about math, it's just something we didn't think was possible being proven possible.

Please correct me, mathletes! Hilariously almost all my fields of interest require math... cries in physics

On the one hand:

SHOOT THEM THE FUCK DOWN IF THEY VIOLATE YOUR AIRSPACE (assuming you detect them at the time and have the capability)

On the other hand:

I bet Israel is counting on that so they can let everyone know they have evidence that IRAQ is actually HAMAS while they start bombing hospitals and schools.

I don't blame them for NOT shooting the fucks down. Rock and an explosive place backed by a global superpower...

Providing nothing that isn't covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?

Guillotine.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

So wood that naturally expands and contracts, creating squeaky floors. You don't even have to step on it if the temperature or humidity changes. My last house had gaps in the crawl space, so lots of shifting occurred.

Mice in the walls. It's always either mice or slightly moving plumbing pipes. I hate living near agricultural fields because mice love to try and move in every autumn.

Footsteps I'll chalk up to people hearing things. I don't know how many times I've thought I've heard footsteps but the moment I catch it, it disappears.

Low-reservoir flushing happened all the time with my last toilet. I know it had a leak but it was slow enough that I didn't much care until it started flushing once a week.

I'm not scared of my attic, I just don't like being up there because it's always hot, it smells weird, and there's too many exposed nails at face level. I imagine most people are only mildly "scared" of their basements or attics because they don't go in them very much, and fear of the unknown/unfamiliar is very real.

..... Maybe I am haunted...

"I promise I won't get political"

two drinks later

"COME OUT YEH BLACK AN' TAN"

This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.

Of course, so does "bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones" and "including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow"

I got to dodge some lumber on the way to work the other day.

It was going from rear driver side window to front passenger window, sticking about 3ft into my lane. The driver was "holding" about 20-30 2x4s.

Fun times.

What's the story, Wishbone?

Pick up that can

Everyone knows you can't store people in a pattern buffer.

Just ask any transporter chief...

hand hovers ominously over panel

And surely the Christian Bible would never be revised!

shuffles 400 versions under the rug

I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and "just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George", and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with "well I've never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn't happen."

Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.

I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls "If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE"

Me, having very little knowledge about keeping vegetation alive: "oooh, that's a nice plant."

I just assume like 75% of the people who read posts like this a believe the poster's intended message simply live in areas with such poor public transport, the idea that there are not only multiple busses running to the same destination, but those busses are full Is simply so alien to them, they just assume something fucky is going on.

I lived in a small city in Ohio, and I gotta say.... It was wild being in Columbus for a convention and being able to catch a bus on my own street within minutes of walking up to the stop, and seeing a mostly full bus.

The few times I used my home city's transportation, I had to leave early enough to walk a good mile to the nearest stop (where I had to wait about 20 minutes since the bus was 10 minutes late), and make all the appropriate transfers so that I get to work on time, and I was one of three people on the bus usually. And I arrived at my destination a full 45 minutes before I needed to be there, but it was that or walk for several hours both ways.

Functional public transport is an alien concept when your nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road.

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits...

Well I mean... I sure hope not. I personally don't see any reason to think it's anything other than China trying to gain support from nations that are on the fence or don't care about them, which to be clear is not a bad thing. They're free to pursue any relations they desire, and the other nations are free to do the same. Hopefully the politicians involved are truly working for the betterment of both countries.

That said, the person making the shady deal would clearly say "it's not a shady deal", and the person duped by aforementioned shady deal would obviously not want to admit being duped by said shady deal. So everyone involved has every reason to say this anyway.

In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.
