I think I'll pass, then, thanks.

Does the “gurantee” include prions..? 🤨

(If you can guarantee no prions — don't really care about the no one harmed bit, as long as I don't know them or they're on my shitlist —, and it's cooked in some way I enjoy — no fancy gourmet spherified vapour shit, thanks — then yeah, definitely, I'm no vegan or anywhere close, but I'd rather eat human than some other animal who can't consent or have done anything to deserve being murdered and eaten.)

Because they're psychosomatic and many representations of Christ on the cross show the nails through the palms.

That wouldn't work, though, they'd soon rip right through flesh between the metacarpals, and the victim would start flailing blood everywhere (supposing they were properly tied to the cross) or drop to the ground. They'll last much longer through the wrists, lots of small well packed together bones, there.

980ti here, playing Cyberpunk 2077 at sufficiently high settings without issues (if you call ~30fps 1440p with no path tracing “without issues”, that is).

It's pretty much correct (well, except the medal; maybe a wreath of celery or pine, but he competed in the Isthmian games, not the Olympics).

His real name was allegedly Aristocles. Plato was his wrestling nickname (and does indeed mean broad, referring to his physique).

He believed that physical exercise was an integral part of a proper education, and applied that principle to himself.

If I can find the time I use my home computer for gaming and watching torrents, but most of the time I spend using computers it's at work, for coding (hopefully, if there's any time left after all the daily bullshit), answering emails and whatnot, and swearing at while trying to get them to work.

Don't know if that counts.

Thank you for the clear, concise, and colourful explanation.

You are both a scholar and a poet.

ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.

Fascists should be getting shot because they're fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.

What, Biden wasn't genociding hard enough so they voted for the orange fascist who everyone knew would be several orders of magnitude worse..?

They don't seem to be very common elsewhere, but the lemmy devs are tankies, and mostly made it for their tankie friends (and probably weren't overly thrilled when we normies migrated from Reddit), so they're disproportionately represented here, even after most of them barricaded themselves inside lemmygrad.

I don't see why. Bellyache causes stress / crying / lack of sleep, those cause headache. Completely reasonable.

And periods, which can have both symptoms, can start as early as eight years old, so there's that, too.

Also, I don't see why a teacher should question why a pupil is sick (and even less why she would share their private information with her partner or anyone else and still be allowed to have contact with children or any position where she might have access to personal information); parent says she's sick, that's all the teacher needs to know.

Gordian knot

The standard way of dealing with those would probably work here too. Swift and painless, and the knot is no more.
