I mean, not practically. Maybe if you routinely need to go to industrial plant construction sites for the early parts of construction before they’ve done things like generally flatten the area and cut something resembling a road. But even then it seems like overkill.
I guess then it let’s them know you have a critical case of Freudian penis envy and that’s very, very important?
I think perhaps you might be incorrect, and it might be a minimum of two.
I do too, I’m in the greater Charleston area. And yeah, fucking everything is named for him, but to be fair much of the time it’s because he secured the funding to make it happen. Man was corrupt as hell, but he did a lot of good for the state.
Tell that to Albany, NY. Population is about 1.2% of NYC.
Or to Sacramento, CA which is the fourth largest city in the state.
Then there are states where the population doesn’t really concentrate like that, like WV. Biggest city is the capital, but that’s not saying much. That’s largely a result of the geography, where most of the state is forested mountains, with people wherever there’s a flat spot. It’s beautiful, but wildly impractical for large population centers. The only reason Charleston is still the biggest city is the three-way interstate junction that meets at it, and that’s thanks to Robert C Byrd using his influence to help his constituents.
this is starting to look like a conspiracy to make your largest city not the capital, lol
Usually this is because the capital doesn’t generally change over time while the relative size of cities often does, especially on the scale of a century or more.
Prior to 1974, it was legal for banks to require a man’s signature for a woman to open a credit card, and many banks chose to require this.
The requirement for women to provide a male co-sign for lines of credit was one of the last vestiges of coverture (the notion of the household as the primary legal unit, with the husband/father as the one ultimately responsible for the household owning all the assets but also holding all the debts and in some cases responsible for crimes done by family members) to go. Because under coverture, the only women who owned their own assets and were responsible for their own debts were femme sole (single women who are not under their father’s household, typically orphans, widows or spinsters) which meant loaning money to a woman who was or might feasibly become married within the terms of the loan created a scenario where the debt had to be collected from someone who was not a party to the debt being created which made things more difficult for the lender. The whole point of requiring a male co-sign was that way they had someone they could more easily enforce collection against than the debtors potential future husband who wasn’t himself a party to the loan. Once we tossed coverture, it took a bit for policy at private institutions to catch up unless/until they actually needed to.
I agree that the facts are very frequently misrepresented.
There’s a dichotomy to it you see in descriptions of other things, where unless all women could do the thing nationwide without exception then women couldn’t do the thing but if any men could do the thing, then men could do the thing. For example, some women in the US could vote since the founding, because voting rights were determined at the state level and not all of them restricted it by sex. At the same time, most men couldn’t vote either in most states until the mid-19th century with the push for so-called Jacksonian Democracy (ironically, women actually lost the right to vote in New Jersey when voting rights were expanded - the previous wealth requirement was not restricted by sex).
Women who had “hysteria” is also why vibrators were invented, because the 19th century treatment for hysteria was hysterical paroxysm through manual stimulation - aka giving her an orgasm by playing with her bits. The vibrator was originally a labor-saving device for doctors.
Goddess of mad rage, frenzy, fury and rabies. Sounds like everyone’s crazy ex.
Any random 9-digit number can be a valid SSN.
Not true - there are whole ranges that specifically aren’t in use (mostly specific values for the first three digits that are intentionally not used). Outside those ranges though, yeah, basically any 9 digit number. Add one to the last digit of your SSN and if you were born before 2014 you likely get someone born in the same hospital on the same day.
The blue check went through some twists and turns. Originally it was meant as “your identity is verified”, then it became a status symbol, then it had extra features attached to it. At one point the people approving them were literally taking bribes to expedite or guarantee your blue check (like personal bribes, not a payment to Twitter). And at some point along the way it somehow became a “Twitter approves” thing, because at least one person had their blue check stripped for going too far as a right wing troll (Milo Yianno-whatever). All of that pre-Muak.
Post-Musk, it’s just a subscription you pay for with some extra features and there’s now a different checkmark for corporate or government entities that merely verifies their identity.
How can a car like this be SO vulnerable?
I’d be tempted to see how they respond to a salt and acid mixture. Maybe even just something as mild as heavily salted lemon juice as an experiment. Depending on how those stainless panels are treated it could be effective. Acids and chlorides are hard on the passive layer of regular stainless, which is what protects the underlying metal. Maybe a different acid+salt mixture that won’t have as obvious a smell after it evaporates? Would make for some “fun” “water” balloons or “water” guns, especially to play with at night. Without your phone on hand. While wearing a mask and plain black hoodie as PPE, of course.
she was intersex.
Specifically 46,XY with CAIS, causing a total lack of response to androgens, and since those are what tell a fetus to develop male bits instead of defaulting to female bits…
Almost everyone. Most of his team doesn’t actively hate him, except for Foreman and sometimes Chase. But yeah, broadly everyone hates him for being an asshole but he’s also a profoundly capable asshole which means they also want to keep him around despite being an asshole. His entire department essentially exists because of Cuddy’s guilt over giving him the limp.
Three Stories was probably my favorite episode. House is forced to teach a class, he sets up three hypotheticals of patients reporting leg pain at the same time. One of the cases is his own story of how he ended up with the limp. He also managed to diagnose what’s wrong with the normal teacher of the class while teaching it (lead poisoning).
I know right, it could have at last been something like…shuffles deck…sexually transmitted African sleeping sickness.
Also, foreman is black.
He actually mentions at one point that part of why he picked Foreman was because of his juvenile criminal history.
I mean, that was literally the elevator pitch for the show - Sherlock Holmes as an American doctor. They even made a point in casting of not wanting a British actor which makes it even funnier that Hugh Laurie got the part.
Holmes = House Watson = Wilson 7% solution of cocaine = Vicodin
The biggest difference is that he’s essentially his own Moriarty, and his Reichenbach Falls involved a burning house, heroin and hallucinations of dead former team members.
(If I’m understanding you correctly they’ve shown some light on mental issues, which is prob a good thing if actually done correctly & not just for bs character credibility/growth.)
Specifically he starts season 6 in a psychiatric hospital and season 8 in prison. As always he tries to cheat his way out of the system, but ends up being humbled in season 6 and committing to treatment. He fakes his death at the end of season 8, because he’s going to go back to prison (damage caused by a prank gone wrong), Wilson has cancer and House would be in prison well past Wilson’s estimated remaining time.
My single worst experience with Linux was getting audio to work with an ISA Plug ‘n’ Play Sound Blaster card back in the late 90s. Eventually I got it to work, but after installing the card I had to dig through documentation and forums to figure out that in addition to audio drivers I needed to install a package for ISA PnP cards, run a tool that came with that to generate a config file, realize that config file contained every hypothetical configuration my card could potentially have all commented out, find and uncomment the actual configuration I wanted the card to use and then restart the isapnp driver. All of that to get basic functionality. For Windows, I literally just installed the card and it worked with basic functionality out of the box, with an option to go to their website and download a driver for some extra functionality specific to that card.
That…soured me on the idea of desktop Linux for several years.
