I’ll disagree about age. At 23, the pre-frontal cortex is still developing and won’t be finished until around 25.

It’s responsible for:

• Executive functions (planning, decision-making, problem-solving)
• Impulse control
• Emotional regulation
• Social interactions and behavior

There is a distinct imbalance between someone in their 60’s and someone in their early 20’s. I’m not saying it can’t be carefully and respectfully navigated, but it has to be acknowledged and accounted for.

It doesn’t sound like that happened here.

Then we have the power dynamic of a celebrity who is also your employer. Add in a healthy dose of fictive kinship due to the live-in nature of a nanny and you’re in a situation rife with the potential for abuse.

Sleeping with the nanny less than half your age isn’t a great start for a discussion of power dynamics in a sexual relationship.

I’m not going to assume anything either way, bo the women deserve to be heard, at the very least.

Historian Sean Munger’s excellent 2-part series on the JFK assassination interestingly titled: Oswald Acted Alone.

The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

It’s a hot take! Wouldn’t be good if it weren’t inflammatory.

Pepper Mills are overrated.

An obstructionist Congress?

So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I’ve only played a little, so most of this doesn’t mean too much to me yet.

Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, “lol, snitches get stitches.”

That said, I couldn’t find anything about the informants actually being executed.

This young man volunteered to undergo the procedure even though he didn’t have to.

Proving this works paves the way for surgeries where general anesthesia isn’t an option for whatever reason.

They gave him a spinal epidural, let him pick the music, and got started on surgery.

Does anyone know if Voyager supports instance blocking?

Veh-soo-vee-us.

Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.

Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.

I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.

She’s in Pitch Black. I’m not sure I’m recommending it, but it’s a decent sci-fi survival horror with Vin Diesel’s Riddick.

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

It’s literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you’d take issue with this particular one.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

VR is neat, but it’s mostly been a solution in search of a problem.
