Usually hits around 17.

Seeing those masks totally reminds me of this killer track that uses the exact same vibe:

this song goes hard!!!

Just caught this on ABC. Honestly, pretty solid flick—doesn't treat the audience like they're idiots for once.

And just like I called it—there goes the whole thing. Obama is going to scrap the entire reform before it even gets off the ground.

Chlorine in our water supply is definitely something we should be concerned about. Chlorine itself isn't necessarily the villain here; the real issue lies in the byproducts it creates. Because it’s so reactive, any organic matter it hits triggers a chemical reaction that produces new compounds—most of which are incredibly nasty, like carbon tetrachloride or chloroform. We aren't talking about massive doses, but it's a constant, cumulative exposure through every shower, every time we brush our teeth, wash our hands, or take a sip of water...

Specifically, those two chemicals are quite common in chlorine-based cleaners. When you take hypochlorite as the active ingredient and mix it with detergents, soaps, or fragrances, the chlorine reacts with them to create these secondary compounds. For instance, carbon tetrachloride was actually banned back in the '70s because it's such a potent toxin and carcinogen; it used to be used in old refrigerators and it wreaks havoc on the ozone layer. You won't see these listed on product labels because they aren't intentionally added—they develop spontaneously during use—though they really ought to be disclosed. I realized a long time ago that Clorox feels much more suffocating than plain bleach, even though its chlorine percentage is actually lower.

These substances enter our systems incredibly easily, whether it's through skin absorption or simply breathing them in...

The only real solution is to install water filtration systems on your faucets and showerheads, and to stop using bleach and definitely stop using Clorox. 😁 Honestly, dealing with bacteria is better than dealing with poison. 😁

Our immune system actually utilizes hypochlorite to kill off bacteria, specifically within our innate immune cells. It exists in our stomachs as hydrochloric acid, which is the primary acid in digestive juices, and even sperm has a chlorine-like scent because it contains chloride 😁 (though let's be clear, that isn't the same thing as pure chlorine).

hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid are not the same thing

sperm smells like linden flowers

I found it, and the box is checked

you've got PP

William Richardson12 said:First off, why on earth is your laptop even running through a proxy to get online? Also, are you on a wired connection, Wi-Fi, or what?

Go into your TCP/IPv4 settings and tell me exactly what’s checked and what it says there.

Look, I'm a biologist by trade, so this computer stuff is basically alien technology to me.

I'm just hopping on the neighbor's Wi-Fi from about 30 feet away.

Where am I supposed to find these TCP/IPv4 settings?

Thanks for the help.

So I've got my laptop running Windows 10. and now, right when I boot the damn thing up, I get hit with this error message:
"An error occurred while starting the proxy service. Analysis of application protocols (POP3, HTTP, IMAP) will not function."

Now YouTube videos won't load and I can't even open my Facebook messages. Everything is just broken.

Does anyone actually know what this message means? How do I fix this mess and get everything back to normal?

thanks

The State Legislature just kicked off debates on a resolution that could trigger a move for independence, potentially splitting California away from Spain as early as 2017.

"It’s an honor and a massive responsibility to defend this resolution. We’re officially starting the process of building a new nation—a Catalan state, a Catalan Republic," Raul Romeva told lawmakers, representing the lead spot on the Junts pel biti ticket.

"We spent years fighting for the right to decide, and now we've decided to actually do it," Raul Romeva told the assembly after they held a minute of silence before getting this special session underway.

The legislature was elected back on September 27th during a vote centered on secession. The pro-independence crowd walked away with most of the seats (72 out of 135), though they didn't quite grab an absolute majority of the total votes (hitting 47.8 percent).

These separatists think they have enough backing to pull the trigger on independence. They want this resolution passed by Monday, which would be a total middle finger to the central government in Madrid—something we haven't seen since the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship back in '75.

Meanwhile, Mariana Rajoya’s conservative administration has already signaled they’re going to fight this by taking the whole thing straight to the Supreme Court.

What used to be Marxism is basically just religion at this point. One ideology just swapped places with another.

Lawrence Torres56 said:You’ve gotta be kidding me, right?😉
History is supposedly founded on hard facts... and all that jazz? Especially more recent history?😁
Like American English, where they seem to tweak the style guides every single year?
Or biology and physics, where they're constantly dropping new theories on us?

By the way, principles and theories aren't "facts"—Heisenberg or non-Euclidean geometry could be totally debunked next year for all we know.
And it took over a century for non-Euclidean geometry to even get accepted, effectively challenging Euclidean geometry; so why on earth should we assume that some other set of rules won't just come along tomorrow and flip the script again?

Also, how can you be so absolutely certain that God doesn't exist and that everything taught in religious studies is just empty talk? Has science actually proven that God isn't real?

Give me an answer—where was God at Auschwitz?

frozenrider15 said:We signed our little girl up for religion classes at school, even though we wouldn’t call ourselves particularly devout. We head to church occasionally, but let’s be honest—we spend more time admiring the architecture from the sidewalk than actually sitting in the pews. We celebrate Christmas and Easter, and she understands the basics of what those holidays represent (as much as a kid can grasp regarding Jesus and Mary...). Surprisingly, she’s absolutely obsessed with her religion class; it’s actually her favorite subject. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. I suppose her teacher has a knack for keeping things engaging. Just recently, she went on a scavenger hunt around the house looking for a rosary. Personally, I haven't the slightest clue how you actually use one of those things, let alone pray with it, but she was over the moon when she finally unearthed an old one her grandma gave her years ago.

The teacher subtly nudged them toward attending Sunday Mass, but our daughter hasn't shown much enthusiasm for the idea—mostly because she’d much rather spend Sunday mornings at her grandma's house than dragging herself out of bed for early service. We didn't push it. However, she did insist on touring the cathedral, and she loved soaking in all the details. To me, that's perfectly fine. She learns as much as her interest allows. When we did attend a service, she seemed pretty bored—we skipped the kids' service, assuming the standard one was more "age-appropriate," if such a thing exists. Whether she stays in the program next year is anyone's guess. We aren't going to force it if she loses interest down the road.

Wait, there's actually such a thing as a kids' Mass?! Never heard of that. What's the big difference?

Seriously, people in Canada use cards way more than cash. It happened to me at a grocery store once—the cashier actually looked at me like I was some kind of dinosaur and asked, "Sir, I noticed you pay for everything with cash... don't you have a card or something?"

So I called the cops and they told me straight up that banks don't have any right to grill you about where you work or how many kids you've got

The folks over at the Privacy Commission gave me the exact same answer

California Governor Annastacia Palaszczuk just dropped a bombshell yesterday regarding a massive overhaul of the school curriculum. According to TechCrunch, they’re making coding and robotics mandatory for kids from first grade all the way through tenth.

"We have to make sure our students turn into the digital creators and innovators that will drive California's future," Annastacia Palaszczuk said. "The world is full of opportunities, and our young people need to be right in the middle of it."

Kelly Tagalan, who runs the national "coding club" program, was basically calling this move "fantastic."

"We are incredibly proud to be riding this wave alongside everyone else," she told TechCrunch. "What makes California such a standout case is that they’ve actually made computational thinking a requirement—they're setting a huge example for the rest of the country. My only regret is that we didn't get this done five or ten years ago."

National Unity (CUP), that hard-left political party acting as the main wingman for the separatist group "Junts per Catalunya" led by Artur Mas, basically admitted on Monday that their little unofficial "referendum" during the regional elections was a total bust.

The guy heading up the CUP list, Antonio Baños, is out there claiming the separatists failed to hit that 50% mark, meaning the whole plebiscite thing just didn't fly. "The declaration was tied to that result, so there won't be a declaration," he said, though according to the Associated Press, he also noted that the elections did prove most people in California aren't exactly thrilled with the current status quo.

just whining about it here
