Yeah, but then you have something like when people protest deleted their history on reddit which is fine as a protest tactic but leaves a hole where your specific question came up but now there's nothing there.

Yeah WIC is very restricted. Food stamps is more like most things that are groceries but not hot ready to serve items.

I don't like it, but a vape would be a great prop for smoke effects

Yeah it is pretty good practice for puzzling out meaning

Yeah, if the president hits Bush numbers like 19% in 2008 or lower then you get a much higher chance of being ousted. If you lose enough popularity within the Republican party then the Senate can impeach him and remove him from office.

It's closer to what Obama was at mid career. If you want bad you gotta hit W numbers, he was at a low of 19% approval in 2008.

It's more about a minimum of weight or pressure that affects it. So the higher the pressure the more likely it is to flex the road where a small vehicle with light pressure might not make it flex at all. The heavier it is the more the weight will flex the subsurface and cause more damage.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkless/2023/08/30/how-roads-fail-and-why-theyre-set-to-get-worse/

"To give you an example of that impact, let’s do a quick calculation. Here in New Zealand, the heaviest vehicle allowed on (some of) our roads is the 50MAX truck. It has nine axles and a total weight of 50 tonnes, so the load-per-axle is 5.55 tonnes. The best-selling car in NZ in 2022 was the Mitsubishi Outlander. It weighs 1.76 tonnes, so its load-per axle is 0.88 tonnes. The fourth-power law says that to calculate the relative stress that these two vehicles apply to a road, you take the ratio of their loads-per-axle and raise the result to the fourth power. In this case, (5.55 / 0.88)4 = 1582. In practical terms, it means that a 50MAX truck applies as much stress to a road as 1,582 cars (or quite literally billions of bicycles)"

Being and Nothingness and Being and Time are the books you want on this. That's a 1000 pages by Sartre and Heidegger and the core documents of existentialism.

Have I read it all? Fuck no, this shit is hard to read. I once reread a page 8 times and still didn't get it.

I don't get a lot of ads already, and I could honestly use more in terms of new games and movies coming out. Word of mouth doesn't work great for obscure things either.

It should be easy to get updates with a little hacky help, they'll be available on the long term support schedule.
