Have you ever been judged for your appearance? | Yea, that's the reason I have heavy body image issues to this day. I find myself comparing my looks to everyone I see because I feel like I'm way too ugly. These are unhealthy thoughts and they led me to an extremely dark place. It hurts to be called ugly etc. I hate when people feel the need to bodyshame or judge others. It's disgusting. It hurts even more when its from somebody you love and im speaking from personal experience. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'm a 2 🌈 😀🤚 in my opinion. Excuse this poorly written answer, I'm not really in the mood to write. Fuck everyone who says your ugly is the life message here because your not, you're special, precious, and beautiful.

How fast could the US Air Force SR-71 Blackbird fly if it pushed its engines to the point of destruction as some MiG-25 Foxbats did chasing the Blackbird? | The speed was limited to the skin temp - melting point of titanium. My dad was power plant lead and worked directly with Kelly Johnson. The airplane would have melted before the engines destructed.

What is the most foul smelling thing you found when cleaning out a room or closet in your house or garage? | I cleaned rental houses for my grandma, I was cleaning up a house that I was going to move into with my sister, when I walked in the back door I was so glad that I had put a bandana on my head. I was showered with roaches. When cleaning they would dodge my sponge, the former tenant had cooked on a stove that had drip pans under the burner filled to the top with dead, black,burnt roaches. It was clear of roaches and anything else when we moved in.
My house was inhabited by too many feral cats and 2 people. It was stripped of everything but the drywall. It should've been condemned you could smell cat piss from the road. While evicting several cats that lived in the carpeted bathroom it was obvious that the subfloor was rotted out by cat pee and shit. My sister was tearing up the floor when she was surprised by a petrified cat and her dead kittens in the crawl space beneath her. It was unbelievable that anyone could live in those conditions.

Can King Charles III give knighthood to anybody that he wants, or must they be British citizens and pre-approved? | Can King Charles III give knighthood to anybody that he wants, or must they be British citizens and pre-approved?
Most Knighthoods are awarded by the King on the advice of the Prime Minister. They will have gone through a vetting process before they are added to then list for approval. I have a friend who is involved in this vetting process for people who live in my local county.
There are a few awards which are given purely at the King’s discretion which includes knights of the orders of the Garter, Thistle or Royal Victorian Order.
Knighthoods can be given to non-British Citizens but these are classed as honaroary knighthoods and the recipient gets the medals but is not allowed to use the title ‘Sir’ in front of their names.

Why do large ships use anchor chains and not anchor lines (i.e. land lubber’s ropes)? | The strength of an anchor's hold is when the shank is parallel to the sea bottom and the flukes dig into the sea bottom.
The hold is broken when the end of the shank is lifted from the sea bed and the flukes break out of the sea bottom.
The hold of a ship at anchor is best when the shank is kept to the sea bed by the weight of the anchor chain. A lighter rope tied to the anchor would allow the ship under wind or current lift the rope off the bottom and break the shank free. A chain ensures that a length of heavy weight preceeds the shank. Proper anchoring requires an anchor chain of 5 to 7 times the depth - this makes sure the anchor end of the chain lies on the seabed from its own weight holding the anchor shank there, also. Raising the chain with a winch will pull the anchor shank off the bottom, releasing the anchor.
A rope would be so light that a strong wind or current tug on the vessel would straighten the rope so that it pulled upwards on the anchor. The weight of the catenary of a heavy anchor ensures the pull on the anchor will be horizontal.
In the picture above, the third boat has too light an anchor rope, or too great a wind force, so it is likely to pull up the anchor. The 1st and second boats have a heavy enough anchor chain (Rode) to keep the pull on the anchor horizontal even with wind.
Thus the weight of the anchor chain is essential for keeping the anchor secured.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | When I was young, my dad worked in the steel mills of Cleveland, and one day, they had an open house. My dad knew that I was a curious young lad, and invited me along to show me how steel was made. He took us into this huge factory which had to have at least been five, six miles long...maybe longer. We started at one end with the blast furnace and how they mixed in all of the chemicals and elements and raw materials in these huge blast furnaces to create red/yellow/orange even molten lava. Then these huge buckets would come along and just take this stuff and put it on these rollers which went on more miles. We walked the whole entire thing, and the rollers would smooth out the liquid into this long and narrow piece of magma and then it would go through the pools of water to hardened it. It would keep cooling this magma until at the end of the rollers formed, you guessed it, steel. To understand how the towers fell just reverse the process. If water cools magma turning it into steel, wouldn't heating the steel reverse the process? Of course it would. And that's how the towers fell. Thick of it as an ice cube. If freezes something, turns liquid into a solid, heating it up, would reverse the process.

Why do catholic priests contradict what Francis and Benedict say in public? How can you simultaneously retain possession of Universalism heresy while also teaching the exact opposite in Vatican II and China? | Quite simply and matter of factually because what the Popes say in public or to the press is not Catholic infallible teachings. It’s just their personal opinions. For something to be infallible it has to come from the Chair of Peter. Likewise a Parish Priest or Bishop also has the right to voice his opinion on whatever subject comes to mind. If there are conflicts the truth, the authentic interpretation lies in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Unfortunately like in every church, Catholic or Protestant there are not only conservative views but now liberal ones.
You assert that there is universal heresy within the Catholic Church without providing any examples or more importantly any evidence to prove your points. Until you do, it is impossible to provide you additional answers. I am especially interested in what you mean about Vatican 2 and China. Look forward to additional dialogue.

What newsletters would you recommend to a full-stack developer? | I don’t follow a ton of newsletters because it ends up being too time consuming to go through them every day/week. Pick a handful of them, skim them for the best headlines, and use an app like [LINKED_TEXT: Pocket] [URL: http://getpocket.com/] to set aside the ones that sound interesting for later reading.
To add to the list of recommendations, I’d suggest checking out [LINKED_TEXT: SitePoint - Versioning] [URL: https://www.sitepoint.com/versioning/email]. There’s a lot of fluff in there, but I find something interesting in each email.

How long does a hairbrush spanking hurt after? | Too long when any sort of physical violence, including spanking, towards your child is illegal.
Try positive reinforcement instead; it works a heckuva lot better and it more importantly, your child still loves you by the time that they become an adult. I remember being spanked as a kid a few times; guess what it taught me? Absolutely nothing. I didn't even know what I was in trouble for.
Hitting children is wrong. If you want to get out some frustration play a videogame or go for a walk instead.
And most importantly: maybe don't take advice from randos or older people on the internet. Talk to a doctor or read a book (written within the last decade) about child rearing.

Why are western countries including the United States publicly stating what military equipment they are sending to Ukraine? Whatever happened to keeping the enemy in the dark of your plans? Is it just politics, hubris or stupidity? | It is none of the three. It is standing up to a tyrant. Letting him know that the world will not stand by while he pillages and rapes a neighboring country.
The public statements are to let him know that aid in the form of weapons is coming to the Ukraine. Weapons that will outperform the weapons of the Russia and will put the Ukraine on an equal or greater footing than the Russia.
The public statements are to let Russia know they should expect to lose more ships, tanks and planes as the war moves forward.
The public statements are to let the Russia the world is against them and the weapons of the world are against them where hopefully someone in charge comes to their senses and tries to negotiate an end to the war.
Finally, the public statements are to let Russia know that the NATO doesn’t care if Russia knows aid is being sent. They are not afraid of Russia or Russia knowing.

How can I improve my Quora writing skills? | If you wish to primarily use Quora to improve your english then my answer would be As simple as a Nursery Rhyme
Read more…(This is a phrase you often see on long articles on social platforms, the web page asks your permission to Present the whole elaborated content onto your screen. My advice would be to always open it)
Above advice also applies to offline sources and hard copies too. the more you read the more efficient ideas agglomerate into your head for presenting a given idea.
Talking about QUORA Follow breif writers who present Diligent content and trace the way they presented the material they possessed into their heads.
However my personal Guru mantra would be to search synonyms of english word you most commonly use into your writtings to make your article more vibrant and expressive.
For example: Corruptiom is a threat to India's Growth desires.
The same sentence can be made more comprehensive by adding synonyms .
Corruption presents grave menace to India's Augmentation Ambitions.
So focus on reading content provided that you are confident of your grammar usage. if you lack grammatical accuracy, then the above article would be a following step.The preceding step would be to eradicate grammatical errors.

Which song that was a major hit for an artist or band also created a backlash for them? | Which song that was a major hit for an artist or band also created a backlash for them?
I absolutely LOVE questions like these and I can think of eight artists without having to strain my brain. I may ad more. And I’m not thinking of some BS ones like KISS as obviously KISS rebounded. I am talking about genuine WTF moments where their fanbase took a hike and nothing they could would recover what they had. Nothing like Rod Stewart’s ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy’ as that clearly didn’t finish off his career. Here they are in no particular order:
If You Leave by OMD (1986)Orchestral Maneouverers in the Dark (or OMD) had a handful of hits in the US thanks to underground radio and placements in movies. 'If You Leave' was OMD's biggest hit in the US hitting #4 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart in May 1986, spawned off the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. The band had submitted the track 'Goddess of Love' from their soon-to-be-released album Pacific Age but it received a poor reception from test audiences and director John Hughes rejected the song giving the band orders any song should be at a tempo of 120 BPM. The band had two days before they were due to leave for a tour and wound up writing and recording 'If You Leave' in 24 hours. And while the song was a sales success it has received equal parts critical praise and derision. Longtime fans had been disappointed by the trajectory the band had been on with their Junk Culture (1984) and Crush (1985) albums, going in a slicker, glossier, more pop direction. For a band that was once a musical innovator it was now seemingly following the herd. The singles from Pacific Age were far less successful in the US and elsewhere with only the first single 'Forever Live And Die' charting in the US. From that point on OMD's only success in the US was on the Dance Charts. In concert lead singer/bassist/songwriter Andy McCluskey has often admitted this song was the end of their career in the US and sadly, that seems to be true.
Domino Dancing by the Pet Shop Boys (1988)The Pet Shop Boys got their start with dance-friendly singles that weren't quite in the Freestyle genre, but very close to it. With their arch lyrics and ironic band name they were gay-friendly if not exactly explicitly gay. They racked up an impressive number of Billboard Hot 100 singles in the USA from their start with the 'West End Girls' single in 1984 and were early MTV darlings with their visually arresting videos. And that's where the band finally ran into trouble with this single from their third studio album Introspective. The song was produced by Lewis A. Martinée, the Miami-based producer behind such 1980s Freestyle groups such as Exposé. And the the song had a definite Freestyle sound to it, which fitted well with the times. What didn't fit however was the video, shot in Puerto Rico, and which featured two young men often fighting with each other over a girl. In many scenes the two were shirtless and the footage truly bordered on the homoerotic, especially one scene where they were wrestling in the surf while the object of their affection looks on. Needless to say it was a huge hit in gay clubs which loved to show the video, but it became their sixth and final US hit, reaching #18 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. It did reach #5 on the dance charts where the band has continued to have decades long success. But it was the end of mainstream culture's embrace of the Pet Shop Boys and as singer/lyricist Neil Tenant has remarked it was truly the end of their career in the US even though the band continues to regularly tour the US.
You and Me by Alice Cooper (1977)Alice Cooper was the undisputed king of Shock Rock with his macabre stage shows, but there's nothing scarier than reality as he found out when he released his ballad 'You and Me'. The ablum it came from, Lace and Whiskey, was a deliberate effort by Cooper to try something new, and for it he donned the persona of a heavy drinking comic Private Investigator named Maurice Escargot. And while 'You and Me' would hit #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart it would be his last hit for a dozen years. Casual fans liked it but were stunned in the sudden change of Cooper's personna. Even hard core fans were confused and didn't like it. Cooper still plays the song live but admits to it being polarizing and perhaps a mistake.
Rapture by Blondie (1981)Blondie never shied away from recording and performing songs in a variety of genres including reggae and calypso and on their Autoamerican (1980) album decided to try out rap. At the time in their native New York City the emergent rap scene was incredibly vibrant with a number of early stars. Blondie figured why not give it a try, not considering how potentially inauthentic a 30-something white woman might sound as a rapper. But somehow Blondie made it work in a very quirky and unusual way. And the song was a solid #1 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart, paving the way for rap to be more accepted by mainstream listeners and record buyers. But not everyone was so enamored. Some critics likened it to Pat Boone covering Little Richard in the 1950s, or what we would now call cultural appropriation. Blondie's take was pretty tame compared to what the Beastie Boys would soon be doing, but nowhere near as crass as Vanilla Ice. Blondie would have one final single crack the top 40 the following year after which the band took a very lengthy hiatus. While the song is fondly remembered by many fans it turned out to be an effective swan song for the band as their next album The Hunter (1982) was a critical and commercial flop. Guitarist Chris Stein soon fell ill with an autoimmune disease and the band went on a lengthy hiatus for him to recover.
Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode (1989)Depeche Mode had been underground darlings in the US, primarily with alternative radio and dance clubs but outside of the Dance Charts had rarely troubled the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart until the time of Violator, their seventh studio album. 'Personal Jesus' was the debut single off the album and honestly a bit jarring compared to their previous output owing to the twangy country guitar. A friend likened it to a mashup between 'Doctoring the Tardis' by the Timelords and 'Island Girl' by Elton John, and indeed, those twangy guitars make it sound like Elton should start singing at any moment. For me it was a genuine "what were they thinking" moment as the other tracks released as singles were more in keeping with Depeche Mode's prior output. 'Personal Jesus' got to #28 on the charts and was bested by the next two singles, 'Enjoy The Silence' (#8), and ‘Policy of Truth’(#15). But after that brush with success Depeche Mode would scarcely trouble the Top 40 again. As for me I can't stand 'Personal Jesus' and fans either love it or hate it. But for long time fans like myself it was a breaking point. I never bought another Depeche Mode album after that point.
Friday I'm In Love by The Cure (1992)It has always mystified me how the band that could create one of the most amazing albums in alternative rock history with Disintigration (1989) could wind up releasing such crap a mere three years later. The Cure had been on a hot streak for much of the 1980s with truly wild, inventive, and catchy songs covering a wide array of emotions. And yes, they were mostly relegated to alternative radio and the dance charts for much of the era but they did garner rotation on early MTV. But Disintigration launched them into the stratosphere and the Billboard Hot 100. One can only guess that the lengthy tour accompanying that album exhausted the band phsyically and creatively. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Robert Smith described the song in 1992 as both "a throw your hands in the air, let's get happy kind of record" and "a very naïve, happy type of pop song." Problem was that it was completely out of character for what fans expected of the Cure. There was nothing naïve or happy about the band, let along pop. And while the song was a hit, reaching #18 it would be the last song by the band to trouble the Top 40 in the US. And while they still did well touring, interest in the band in the US evaporated. The band likewise seemed to lose energy, only sporadically recording and touring since that time. This was the silliest and most ridiculous they were. I haven’t bought anything by them since.
Rubber Band Girl by Kate Bush (1993)Long a darling of the alternative rock scene, Bush was notorious for taking three years off between albums and something of a perfectionist at her craft. There was a great deal of anticipation for her seventh studio album, The Red Shoes, which was released in 1993, especially after the critical and commercial successs of her last album, The Sensual World (1989). But the debut single left longtime fans scratching their heads with its strange lyrics and bizarre vocals punctuated by rock guitar. Overall it seemed flimsy and dopey, almost as if it were a novelty song. Bush had never really troubled the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, but had considerable following in the alternative rock scene, but this single and the album that produced it landed with a thud. Bush started struggling in her native UK and fans began wistfully looking back to previous releases for comfort. That was the end of the line for me and for a lot of other fans as well. Bush has recorded even more sporadically and with longer gaps between projects. Recent interest in her single 'Running Up That Hill' has revived interest in her and her music but only after 20 years of being largely forgotten.
Mr Roboto by Styx (1983)Styx had been something of a critical darling of the 1970s, melding theatricism to rock, and they scored quite a few hits throughout the 1970s into the early 1980s with their breakout Paradise Theatre album (1981). By this point the band had broken through to arena rock status and needed an album to continue that. And what came next was the concept album Kilroy Was Here (1983). Paradise Theater had been a concept album as well and the concept for Kilroy Was Here was to poke fun at anti-rock activists who felt groups like Styx used backmasking with subliminal messaging. 'Mr Roboto' is the opening track and sets the tone and tenor for the album. And in the process of melding treatricism to rock it tends to go too over the top with singer Dennis De Young's vocals getting far too shrill and shouty at times. Synthesizers feature prominently as do vocoders and the whole thing is very removed from anything Styx had done before. By the end DeYoung is frantically repeatedly shouting "I'm Kilroy" while stunned and confused listeners try and make sense of what it is all about. I remember being completely befuddled the first time I saw it. I wasn't interested in learning more or intrigued, I was confused as hell. And I get the sense many fans and casual listeners were as well. I remember a friend of mine who knew my affinity for the offbeat remarking "seems like your kind of thing". And I had to quickly retort that no, it wasn't. It struck me as weird for weirdness's sake and I didn't get it. And I still don't. And while the band did have some big hits after 'Mr Roboto' it was clearly the end of the line for the band after this album. Styx was sidelined for seven years until they came out with a new album and by them people had largely relegated them to being an oldies act and no longer culturally relevant. Worse still, it now is regarded as Yellow Face, cultural appropriation, Xenophobia, and worse

Can you analyze the potential risks and benefits of a company expanding its operations into international markets? | Well, here are some of the potential risks and benefits of a company expanding its operations into international markets are
Risks owing to Political and economic instability: The political and economic situation in a foreign country can change rapidly, which can pose a risk to a company's operations. For example, a change in government or a trade war could disrupt a company's supply chain or make it more difficult to do business in the country.
Cultural differences: Cultural differences can also pose a risk to a company's operations. For example, a company that does not understand the local culture may offend customers or business partners.
Legal and regulatory challenges: The legal and regulatory environment in a foreign country can be very different from the company's home country. This can make it difficult to comply with all of the applicable laws and regulations, which could lead to fines or other penalties.
Competition: The level of competition in a foreign market can be much higher than in the company's home market. This can make it difficult for the company to gain a foothold in the market.
Costs: Expanding into international markets can be expensive. The company will need to invest in marketing, sales, and distribution in the new market.
Benefits such as New markets: Expanding into international markets gives a company access to new markets and customers. This can help the company to grow its business and increase its profits.
Economies of scale: By expanding into international markets, a company can achieve economies of scale. This means that the company can produce its products or services more efficiently, which can lead to lower costs.
New ideas: Expanding into international markets can help a company to learn about new technologies and business practices. This can help the company to improve its own operations.
Brand recognition: Expanding into international markets can help a company to increase its brand recognition. This can make it easier for the company to attract new customers and partners.
Expanding into international markets can be a risky but potentially rewarding proposition. Companies that carefully consider the risks and benefits involved can increase their chances of success.
Hope this answers your query.

Can I wear EarPods on a plane to keep my ears from popping? This will be my very first time riding in a plane. | I guess on this questioner’s planet there is only one kind of plane. Not knowing how they operate that plane on this questioner’s planet, or even what planet he/she/it is from, I cant be of much help for questions about that planet.
Down there on Planet Earth, we have many different types of airplanes used in many different ways.
For example, my own airplane is not pressurized. If I am not going too far, and thus am not climbing to high altitudes, with little difference in air pressure you may not feel any air discomfort at all.
There are very big planes which we generally refer to as “commerical airliners”. Most of them are pessurized. Here on our Earth planes, the pressurization can take many different forms; for example, if the airliner is not going too high, there may be little or no pressure differential between the cabin and the outside ambiant air. Generally speaking…and this is VERY general, at high altitudes pressurization may be limited to approx 8 lbs psi, or roughly half of sea level ambient air pressure. Going up and down to the highe altitudes, depending on how gentle the pressure is brought up and down with altitude…can cause ear discomfort.
But at least down here on Planet Earth…no - on our planet wearing Ear Pods will have little or no effect on the variable factors relating to ear discomfort.

What is difference between concave mirror and convex mirror? | Convex lens are used to show the specific object in clear. The lens is thicker in middle it attracts only single object(v) when the light passes through the convex lens.
Eg, microscope and long site spectacles
Concave lens or negative lens in the form of curving inward it is just opposite to that convex lens. Which means they reflect the rays or spreading out(x) when the light passes on it.
Eg, flashlight and telescopes

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | I think it is BS!
At least a dozen engineering schools should have created physical and virtual models explaining the collapses by now. But instead we cannot get access to data on the distributions of steel and concrete down the Twin Towers.
So why don’t collapse models exist?

[LINKED_TEXT: What is an eSIM? Everything You Need to Know About ItLast week I bought a terrific smartwatch, i.e., an Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular. The experience was astounding, but I conquered this dilemma of eSIM technology . An odd hidden twist resides within the latest Apple Watch: a built-in SIM card that isn't a SIM card. It's an eSIM or embedded subscriber identity module. It took me an hour to get through this 'thoroughly' as it was my first experience. Based on it, I thought of writing an insightful eSIM three-part blog. Fret not. It's easy to configure it. So without further ado, let's get into this! What is an eSIM? The buzzword "eSIM" merely means a SIM card that is integrated or embedded. No physical SIM cards are involved, and there is no physical swapping over is needed by you. The network or carrier must support eSIM and enable it, and eSIM is not yet supported by all networks. An eSIM is a small chip within your phone and appears to work in a way similar to the NFC chip used in payment techniques such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. eSIM is supported by GSMA, the Mobile Networks Association, and the eSIM standard has been defined worldwide by that organization. The information on an eSIM is rewritable, meaning that you can decide to change your operator with a simple phone call. They're effortless to extend to a data plan. Connecting devices with eSIMs to a mobile account can be done in minutes. What devices does eSIM support? The most notable ones are: iPad Pro Apple Watch Series 3 Apple Watch Series 4 and 5 iPhone X.S., XS Max, 11 and 12 series Google's Pixel 2 (initially used for Google Fi in the U.S.) Google Pixel 3, 3 XL, 4, 4XL, 4a Moto Razr flip phone Windows 10 Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered PCs FYI: Every year, more eSIM-capable devices are produced, and not all are mobile phones. We have been used to connecting other devices such as laptops or tablets to Wi-Fi, but with the increasing adoption of eSIM technology, it is only a matter of time before they can all connect independently to the internet. eSIM vs SIM When traveling, many travelers fail to locate a reliable mobile network, and even if they find one, they do not need the service for more than a month. The similarity between the two [eSIM & conventional sim] There is a SIM vs eSIM stigma because they are entirely different systems and can not be fairly compared. Most individuals, however, would be shocked to understand that they have quite a few similarities, such as: They both connect your phone to the network of your mobile provider. Both of these can be found in several different devices (not just phones) Both remember your phone and the plan used. Here are the eSIM positive aspects: eSIM can not be physically harmed or lost: because it's installed inside phones, you run far less harmful cards at the least opportune moments and weaken your signal quality. The eSIM can be used with a SIM: phones with dual-SIM technology can switch between a SIM data line and an eSIM to get the best possible signal worldwide. eSIM is tiny: behttps://www.efani.com/blog/an-introductory-guide-to-esim/] [URL: https://www.efani.com/blog/an-introductory-guide-to-esim/]Some copied points from the link:
ESIM can not be physically harmed or lost: because it’s installed inside phones, at the least suitable moments, you run far less harmful cards and weaken your signal quality.The eSIM can be used with a SIM: phones with dual-SIM technology can switch between a SIM data line and an eSIM to get the best possible signal worldwide.ESIM is tiny: because an eSIM is small, it can fit into modern wearable technologies, such as watches or other devices, which over time can become smaller.Multiple cellular profiles can be stored by eSIM: There is no limit to storing single cell phone plan information; it can therefore be used anywhere around the globe.ESIM is not easy to hack: when in a roaming situation, hackers must pivot through a billing-process protection feature and the cloud to intrude into your phone data.It’s easy to track eSIM: Network operators can monitor eSIM over the air, making it easier to pinpoint your location in case your phone got lost or stolen.

What did the US Government do that was so heinous that it caused Americans to decide they needed an unchecked right to bear arms? | Nothing. It was the US Government who enumerated the right to bear arms.
Now the British government is another story all together. The King thought he could bleed the colonists dry while treating them like second, or third, class citizens because they didn't truly consider them Englishmen. After years of unfair taxes and no representation in how the colonies were to be governed, the colonists had had enough.
The fact that nearly every colonist had their own rifle, very much unlike in England, is how a ragtag group of farmers, masons, ranchers, and merchants were able to defeat the most powerful army in the world at that time. Naturally after we won our independence the founders saw to it that no American would ever be left helpless to their government in the face of tyranny.

Can an F-15 fighter jet sink a ship with a smart bomb? | Yes, an F-15 can surely sink a ship with a smart bomb. In fact, it has already been done although not in the way most would imagine. On April 28, 2022, an F-15E Strike Eagle dropped a smart bomb successfully destroying a full-scale surface ship in the Gulf of Mexico. It only took a single bomb to sink the ship.
During World War II, torpedoes relied on a direct hit to damage a ship. The goal was to create a hole in the ship that caused flooding. As the ship began to list to the side and sink, the crew would have to divert their attention to flood control. The ship would lose speed, become less maneuverable, and could eventually capsize. It usually took many direct hits on a warship with watertight compartments to sink it although a lucky shot in the right place at the right time could do the job. The Japanese battleship Musashi took over 20 hits from air-dropped torpedoes before it sank.
The bomb that the F-15E used to sink a ship was pretty smart. It was guided alongside and underneath where it exploded without touching the ship. The explosion broke the back and sank the ship the same way a modern torpedo works.
Today, the two most common anti-ship weapons are torpedoes and cruise missiles. Both weapons are precise and deadly, but incredibly expensive. The U.S. Air Force and Navy got together in the QUICKSINK program to develop inexpensive solutions to sinking surface ships.
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a bolt-on guidance kit that converts standard gravity bombs or "dumb bombs" into all-weather precision-guided munitions. JDAM bombs range from 500 to 2,000 pounds.
Although the JDAM can be used to sink large civilian ships, it is not that easy to sink a warship packing air defense missiles. To sink a warship, all surface-to-air missiles in the area must be disabled before deploying JDAM bombs. Once disabled, the JDAM can make short work of enemy surface ships. Not an easy task, but with the technology that is emerging, air defense will be faced with new challenges.
Below is a video of the QUICKSINK test.

What rules are to be followed in order to do intraday trading? | Day trading can be extraordinarily difficult, especially if you lack the experience. It is very fast and there are a lot of variable factors. Intraday trading is buying a stock and selling it on the same day. This is a gamble, so there are a few necessary steps or suggestions needed to be considered to ensure maximum profitability. Outlined here are only a few general points about advice when day trading:
Watch the media and be on top of hot topics and news because the market changes so much. This includes social media in addition to the news.An example of this would be if Warren Buffet said he liked a particular stock in an interview, no matter what the stock is, it will go up because of that media coverage. Finding that coverage first and early in the day of trading will help increase profits before it goes up.If Elon Musk wrote a controversial tweet or had a picture taken of something he was not supposed to do that went viral on social media, the Tesla stock would most likely plummet.Be smart, think and keep an eye out for social media news that impact the market.
Decisions be guided by logic, not emotionThis is a great simple and general mantra to go by. If you see something on social media or news that the public likes that will increase the value of a particular stock but you yourself do not understand the excitement, guide your decision by the massive amount of numbers supporting the stock. For example, Facebook was one of these companies when it was first traded on the market.
Understand and watch the tax ramifications of day trading.Keep in mind the taxes included with your profits on a day-to-day trade. If you hold a stock for less than a year your taxes are going to be significantly higher, so take into consideration that your profits need to match those taxes being taken out.

Can you take control of your blood sugar? | To control your blood sugar levels, here are some strategies you can follow:
Eat a balanced diet: Focus on consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid foods high in refined carbohydrates and added sugars.Portion control: Be mindful of your portion sizes to avoid overeating. Eating smaller, frequent meals throughout the day can help stabilize blood sugar levels.Choose complex carbohydrates: Opt for complex carbohydrates that are digested more slowly, such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables. These foods have a lower glycemic index and cause a gradual rise in blood sugar levels.Limit sugary beverages: Avoid sugary drinks like soda and fruit juices, as they can cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. Instead, choose water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water.Regular physical activity: Engage in regular exercise as it can help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels. Aim for a combination of aerobic exercises (like brisk walking or cycling) and strength training.Monitor carbohydrate intake: If you have diabetes, it can be helpful to count carbohydrates and adjust your insulin or medication accordingly. Consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.Manage stress levels: Chronic stress can affect blood sugar control. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or engaging in activities you enjoy.Get enough sleep: Aim for seven to eight hours of quality sleep each night. Poor sleep can disrupt hormone levels, including insulin, which may impact blood sugar regulation.Regularly monitor blood sugar levels: Check your blood sugar levels as recommended by your healthcare provider. This will help you track your progress and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle and treatment plan.Here I [LINKED_TEXT: review about one product] [URL: https://products23review.blogspot.com/2023/06/keto-desserts-product-review.html] that help you to reduce your suger level at easy way.

If there are big cats, why are there no big dogs? | Assuming we’re talking about natural species, rather than human-created breeds like St Bernards and mastiffs, it’s because most canines have stronger social bonds than felines. Animals that hunt as packs don’t generally need to be as large as those that don’t. And yeah, I know, lions hunt as a pack, but they’re the exception among felines.

Having at 62, I have no pension. I haven’t payed enough in for old age pension and I am alone. What will I do? I work a few hours, have no savings, and live week to week. I live in Britain. | I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Living in the UK, you have several options for financial support. As you rightly identified, Universal Credit is one avenue you can explore. Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs and is available to those who are on a low income or out of work. It can help to cover your essential expenses, like your rent, council tax, bills, and groceries.
Universal Credit is a means-tested benefit, meaning it takes into account your income and savings, and the amount you get can be reduced if you're earning from work or have other sources of income.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of what you might consider:
Universal Credit: This benefit is designed to help with living costs and can be claimed if you're on a low income, out of work, or you cannot work.Housing Benefit: This could help with your rent, though most people now need to claim Universal Credit instead.Council Tax Reduction: Depending on your income, savings and whether you live alone, you could be eligible for a reduction on your council tax. Each local council runs its own scheme, so you would need to get in touch with your local council to find out about your eligibility.Energy Grants: There are several schemes to help people who are struggling to pay their energy bills. You could apply for the Warm Home Discount Scheme or the Winter Fuel Payment.Pension Credit: This is an income-related benefit to give you extra money in retirement. It is means-tested, so it depends on your income, savings, and whether you're single or have a partner. You will be able to get this when you reach retirement age (67) and it will be an amount more than the UK State pension.
It's important that you speak to an advisor about your situation. You could contact Citizens Advice Bureau or Age UK for help - they offer free, confidential advice and can assist with applications and explain your rights and options.
Remember, there is help available, and you don't have to face this situation alone.

How much money can you make online? | There is no one answer to this question because there are so many factors that can affect how much money a blog makes. Some of the main factors include the number of visitors a blog receives, the type of advertising it uses, and the niche it targets.
Generally speaking, most blogs make somewhere between $1 and $10 per 1,000 visitors. However, some blogs make much more than that, and others make far less. In addition, the amount of money a blog makes from advertising will vary depending on what type of advertising is used and how effective it is.
So while it's difficult to give an exact answer to this question, we can say that most bloggers earn anywhere from a few dollars per month.

How would you handle a situation in business where an employee tells you they refuse to meet individually with a female or attend a business lunch with a female, because morally a married man should not meet 1 on 1 with a woman? | It’s really not complicated.
“I appreciate your heartfelt issue and would not dream of putting you in a position where you have to violate your conscience. Since meeting with people without regard to their gender is a part of the job requirements, I wish you luck in your future employment at some place that doesn’t deal with women. I assume you want to quit as of today. We’ll get a resignation typed up for you to sign right away.”

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | Picture above the nine worthies of London. What’s your favourite British myth or legend? Great question. Like the others I’ll ignore King Arthur, etc. Nine Worthies of London is a book by Richard Johnson, the English romance writer, written in 1592. Borrowing the theme from the Nine Worthies of Antiquity, the book, subtitled Explaining the Honourable Excise of Armes, the Vertues of the Valiant, and the Memorable Attempts of Magnanimous Minds; Pleasaunt for Gentlemen, not unseemely for Magistrates, and most profitable for Prentises, celebrated the rise of nine famous Londoners through society from the ranks of apprentices or ordinary citizens.
The nine were:
Sir William Walworth, who killed Wat Tyler, the leader of Peasants' Revolt of 1381. Sir William was originally a fishmonger, and later twice became Lord Mayor of London (in 1374 and 1380). Picture below the nine worthies of London.
Sir Henry Pritchard, a vintner, who in 1356 provided a feast for Edward III and 5,000 men returning from France, including Edward the Black Prince; John, King of Austria; the King of Cyprus; and David, King of Scotland.
Sir William Sevenoke, who fought against the Dauphin in France, and later, having made money as a grocer, became a philanthropist and built twenty almshouses and a school. He was Lord Mayor in 1418 and in 1420 became a Member of Parliament.
Sir Thomas White, who, in 1554, helped keep the citizens loyal to Mary Tudor during Wyatt's rebellion. A merchant tailor and son of a poor clothier, he founded St John's College, Oxford. He became both Sheriff and later Lord Mayor of London.
Sir John Bonham, a mercer, who was entrusted with a valuable cargo bound for Denmark and found favour at the Danish court. While there he was made commander of the army raised to stop the progress of the "great Solyman". He made peace with the Turkish leader and returned to England a rich man.
Christopher Croker, originally a vintner, who with the Black Prince assisted Pedro of Castile in maintaining his claim to the throne of Castile.
Sir John Hawkwood, who served under Edward III in France and later became a mercenary commander in Italy, where he was known as Giovanni Acuto. He was the son of an Essex tanner or a London tailor.
Sir Hugh Calverley, a silk weaver, who was a renowned hunter and famed for killing a huge boar (or bear) for the Poles.
Sir Henry Maleverer, generally called Henry of Cornhill, a grocer who lived in the reign of Henry IV. He was a knight in the Crusades, and highly regarded by the King of Jerusalem. He eventually fell out of favour and became the guardian of Jacob's Well in the Holy Land.
The term "Nine Worthies" was later used to refer to nine of the privy councillors of William III: the Whigs Devonshire, Dorset, Monmouth, and Edward Russell; and the Tories Caermarthen, Pembroke, Nottingham, Marlborough, and Lowther.

What would happen if we could use 100% of our brain? | I don't have personal beliefs or biases. But, from a scientific perspective, the notion that humans use only 10% of their brains is a common myth. In reality, we use most of our brains most of the time.
However, if we were to assume the hypothetical scenario where humans could use 100% of their brains, it's uncertain what would happen. The brain is an incredibly complex and still largely unknown organ. It's possible that we would gain superhuman abilities such as perfect recall, extraordinary cognitive processing speed or heightened intuition. On the other hand, it's also possible that it could have negative consequences such as causing malfunctions, overload, or burnout. Ultimately, the answer to this question is purely speculative and not rooted in sound scientific discoveries.

How does the department Central Water Commission compare to Indian Railways in terms of growth, payscale, transfers, and work life in IES? | Railway is better. IES is generally known as IRSE exam . The I choice is railway only for Civil engineers, The promotion, deputation, to mingle with other branches of engg, contacts with commercial sectors , powers and authority etc., are more in railways than CWC. Then Ministry of surface transport comes second. Here, also opportunities are good for civil engineers. There are promotion delays in CWC also. and it is not directly related to people. It is not expansion fields as railways. In railways, u can become GM of a mfg company like ICF etc.,This is useful to come as MD after retirement also in MNCs. This is not possible in CWC & in DST. But CWC work is calm and fully scientific nature of work having Hqrs on big towns. Those who are liking this types of jobs they can join. Work life balance is good in CWC. Besides, GM Railways controls RPF and gets salute from uniformed service RPF in important days like independence/republic days as DM/CM/PM. This is the rare opportunity ,no IES will get it like this.

Why did Will Smith slap his co-star at the Oscars? | ON ITS news website, the BBC, in an article entitled Why did [LINKED_TEXT: Will Smith hit Chris Rock] [URL: https://www.easterneye.biz/oscars-2022-will-smith-slaps-chris-rock-over-joke-about-wife-apologies-after-winning-best-actor/] at the Oscars? discusses various theories, including ‘There were elements of performative alphamale behaviour at play here. An instinctiveness for a man to harm another man who insults his partner’.
In fact, this particular theory has been investigated in psychological research, for example, a study entitled, ‘The proof is in the punch: Gender differences in perceptions of action and aggression as components of manhood’.
The authors of the study argue that physical action, toughness, and aggression are central features of the masculine stereotype in the US, (perhaps ironically enough, reinforced by Hollywood).
They contend that men often experience anxiety stemming from the need to prove their manhood. Given this anxiety, acts of physical aggression become an opportunity for men to prove their masculine status.
Yet, perhaps there are other ways to convey to others that a man is strong, fearless, and willing to act, despite risks to personal safety.
Dangerous activities, such as motorcycle riding without a helmet, and mountain climbing without a partner, represent another class of masculinity-confirming events because their performance, like overt acts of aggression, also confirms a man’s toughness and courage.
This idea is investigated in a study entitled ‘Living Dangerously: Culture of Honor, Risk-Taking, and the Nonrandomness of ‘‘Accidental’’ Deaths’. This investigation has shown it is even possible to predict which parts of the US have higher rates of deaths from excessively manliness.

CNN reported that 1,000 US health experts have demanded that businesses not be allowed to reopen, but protestors should not be criticized for violating suggestions and increasing infection risks. Does science not matter anymore? | When businesses open, employees are forced to go to work. They don't have a choice. The protesters at least have choice and can try to keep their distance. And outdoors is apparently safer than indoors.
It does seem inconsistent. My take is that people are so enraged and so fed up with police brutality and police getting away with murder, especially of black people that concerns about the public health took a back seat. These protests represent a spontaneous boiling over of rage at murdering police, at 400 years of racial injustice and cruelties, at Trump and his cruelties and all the needless deaths and economic losses from the pandemic. And the ongoing brutality of the police against peaceful protesters is causing continuing protest. Not only in the US but even in other countries that have stricter lockdowns and better compliance people seem to have cast those concerns aside and are protesting in solidarity.
At least most of the protesters are wearing masks and are outdoors. They're being advised to get tested and self-isolate if positive and hopefully many of them will.

Why wasn’t Lot condemned for giving his daughters to be abused by the Men of Sodom in Genesis 19:8? | In that part of the world, then, and now “kindness" is the by word. I personally trained Arabs and this is part of their DNA. When we were trained prior to getting the trainees, we were told to never verbally admire anything they had, be it a necktie, watch, ring etc. because when they left you, the object of admiration would be frequently left with you. The whole Arab /Canaanite culture was based on the Bedouin culture of today, and that is, “be kind to strangers “ because in the harsh desert environment you might one day need the help of strangers. Lot wasn't a native of the area, but adopted that culture. Lot was showing the “extreme” of that kindness to a stranger.

Why should we not use firecrackers on the occasion of Diwali? | Totally agree and respect it.
I am myself a Hindu and do care about our festivals. But I believe that it's time for us to change, in this regard. Not just Hindus, but all of us, Humans.
It is high time that we actually care about the environment, than make posters with paper, on the environment day. I myself, for one, am not sure how to start, but I believe this is a step in the positive direction.
About the festival, I believe that it is actual Dharma, or our duty, to stop following a ritual or tradition, the moment it starts aligning in a way that affect the people negatively. I know some of you might disagree with me, and bring about more of what about __(fill in some other religion or festival here) ; but I believe that others not doing the right thing is not an excuse for you to not do it either.
We can either choose to cry over our traditions and follow our rituals blindly (rather than for the actual reasons they might have been created for, and which might have suited, say, a different era.) or stand up and lead, for the sake of our people and the environment.
The choice is ours.

The Amazon Rainforest covers an estimated area of about 5.5 million square kilometers (2.1 million square miles). It is renowned for its incredible biodiversity and plays a crucial role in global climate regulation.

Its last eruption lasted from 1913 to 1944 and it’s the only active volcano on the European mainland. 600,000 people live close enough to be killed instantly by a sudden pyroclastic flow event, and another 2.4 million live close enough to be in danger during a major eruption, including the entire city of Naples, which is only 9km away from the center of the mountain. Currently, it erupts about three times a century.
But don’t worry about Vatican, it’s over 240 km away from the mountain. That’s close enough to get ashfall, but not lava or anything else dangerous. For the most part, when Vesuvius has erupted recently, it’s only emitted sulfur rich steam and little else. Mind you, when it does erupt, the eruption generally lasts an average of five years.
So why do people risk it? Because the bigger ash eruptions bring up lots of plant friendly minerals from inside the earth like potassium and phosphorus. When the ash mixes with existing soil you get a very good environment for farming.

What kind of food do people from the UK eat that is considered an acquired taste to the rest of the world? | What kind of foods do people from the UK eat that is considered an acquired taste to the rest of the world?
Plum pudding or as others call it Christmas pudding. My grandparents were British and immigrated to the U.S.. I grew up with plum pudding as desert with Christmas dinner. It is a steamed mixture of dried fruits, candied fruit peels, citrus juice, brandy, cinnamon, beef suet, brown sugar, citrus zest, bread crumbs, almonds and eggs. It is served hot with a sort of butter icing hard sauce melting on each serving.
I love it.
I eventually learned to make it and I would prepare it for Christmas dinner with my wife’s family. Very few would even try it although one seemed to really enjoy it.

If you were at a job for only 3 days and wanted to quit, would you put in your 2 weeks or just leave? | Just leave. (Make sure you tell them you're leaving and don't ghost them. It's rude and could cause them to request a welfare check on you to see if you're ok). You're still in training and don't have anything to pass over. Don't make them waste more time training you. Many employers will decline a notice in this situation so they can, hopefully, offer the job to their next choice in candidates and start training them. Also leave off your resume. You haven't worked there long enough for them to know anything about you.

Does it mean anything if a guy sends you “Hehe” while texting you? | It mean he is joking, or laughing.

What is swing trading? | [LINKED_TEXT: Swing trading] [URL: https://multibaggers.co.in/swing-trading-tips-stocks/] is a lot like the concept of day trading. Swing and day traders both use technical analysis in order to identify trading opportunities in stocks, commodities or forex.
The main difference is that day traders’ profit from intraday price movements whereas swing traders have shorter time frames to profit. Unlike day trading, swing trading focuses on larger time frames may be nearly 10-20 days. Swing traders has longer time frames to exit their trades while day traders have to square off the position same day, even though they may have not earned sufficiently still they have to exit before the day closes.

What are the common mistakes students do while preparing for GATE? | Avoiding these little common mistakes while preparation can avoid the delay in achieving success. Some of the frequently observed mistakes are
Beginning preparation without analysis
A comprehensive study of the exam pattern and trend of questions asked from various topics is very important before you start the preparation. One needs to track and analyze the previous paper trends properly. In depth study of concepts is required to stand the cut throat competition; earlier cut off were less but in today’s scenario toppers are scoring somewhere around 95-98 marks and relatively the cut off has also increased.
2. Improper prioritizing
Without a mind map of the course of action to follow, loss of efficiency and effort may occur. Topics can be classified into two different types which are; conventional (traditional) areas of the syllabus and rarely asked topics. Conventional areas are those which must be prioritized since they are sure to carry the highest percentage of marks. Rarely asked topics can be taken care of at the end of the subject as they can provide an extra edge, in case a question from those topics comes up. Similarly, out of numerical and theoretical topics, depending on one’s own comfort and strengths, one must identify and prioritize topics accordingly.
3. Research-oriented study
Time is a very crucial aspect while preparing and it should be saved by avoiding unnecessary research on any topic. The focus must always be on clearing the exam and thus, the preparation strategy must be highly goal-oriented at all times. Textbooks or any such sources must only be referred for topics that one finds tough to understand from their primary source of study. It is here where Coaching comes into the role play, as experienced faculties give you the right direction regarding how to study, what to study and how much to study. This actually saves your unnecessary efforts and saves time.
4. A generic approach for the preparation
Following a generic approach or someone else’s approach for preparation is another common mistake being observed. Preparation plan should be unique for every aspirant and for each subject. This practice is not good because every individual has his/her own limitations and strengths. So, one may take help from other’s strategy and plans to develop their own but not follow them completely. Proper short notes and repeated revisions for such subjects is helpful, whereas practicing more questions for numerical or concept-based subjects proves more helpful.
5. Poor revision plan
This is the most common mistake seen in GATE exam. A well-organized revision plan is even more important than a proper preparation plan because retaining is more important for the judgment day than understanding. The revision must be done at regular intervals through practicing questions, re-reading notes or appearing for test series. Time dedicated for revision must be increased with each progressing month of preparation.
6. Unverified study sources
Lack of trust in the faculty or oneself often leads students to go for some additional sources of study. These sources which may include some web portals, YouTube channels or local textbooks may be unverified. Reading from these sources sometimes may land you to gain incorrect information or concepts. This practice may be very harmful therefore it is very important to maintain trust in your primary source of study.
7. Insufficient tuning for the exam day
This mistake is generally seen thirty to forty days before the exam, or after the admit card has been released. Students tend to follow the same schedule until the end which is not a healthy practice. The human body needs to tune with their daily schedule to work at its maximum efficiency. After one receives her or his admit card, he/she must tune or plan their schedule according to their final exam slot. This helps the body to be the most productive and efficient in that time slot. For example, if one is habitual of studying at night and get afternoon session for the exam, one may not be at their most efficient self at that time. Also, one must also try to give actual computer-based tests conducted for a real-time experience of GATE exam. This helps one to get acquainted with the exam environment and avoid panic on the exam day.
Make sure you don’t follow these mistakes and keep your preparation constant. Get the best [LINKED_TEXT: Online GATE Courses] [URL: https://ekeeda.com/gate] for all branches with study materials.

How can you stop a car if someone cuts the brakes? | Hey guys please read to the end.
Well every car has “engine brakes”, well let me elaborate on what I mean by engine brakes. Let take for instance you are in a car and you accelerate that is smashing the acceleration pedal down when removing your leg on the acceleration pedal you hold the clutch pedal down, that is for normal driving. In a situation where your brakes are bad you could decelerate slowly but do not hold the clutch this will in turn slow the car down.
Please don't let yourself be scammed online by this fake car parts store, be very cautious with your money because I to was scammed once by this fake people, that's why I reccomend you buy all your car parts from AUTOPARTS store the are trust worthy. Some of you may think I am also a scam or is just that I am trying to make money online but let me assure you I am in no way Affiliated with them, it just that I don't want people to go through thesame bad experience I had online. You can text them on WhatsApp “+1(510) 991-2374".

My mom says cigarette smoke can reprogram cells in your airways, causing COPD to hang on after smoking ends. I'm 16 and I smoke about 14 cigs a day so far. If my mom is right, why would I bother to quit? | Because if you don’t quit, you will drown in your body fluids if you are diagnosed with COPD. If you are diagnosed with emphysema, you get to die from your body smothering you to death, Either way, dying from lung cancer is a very long, very slow and very painful death.

At what price of diesel fuel will truck drivers simply decide to stay home, as high fuel costs stop the wheels of the world? | Just a Joe Bloe consumer, here, but one that listens to Road Dog Trucking on Satellite Radio, along with Rural Radio.
Just going to comment that passing along costs so it doesn’t matter, actually does. A lot.
I own everything, house, car(s), no debt. Have more money frankly than the government can tax from me, and have enough left over to have enough left over. Price rises (even gasoline) do not affect me.
But… I have stopped going out because restaurants are just not worth the prices charged. I know they are not making any money, but as a consumer it is my choice how I spend mine, and going out (unless for special occasions) is not something I bother to spend on any more, these days. Same with vacations (airlines want to quadruple tickets, well then I cannot be bothered), and all sorts of other discretionary stuff.
My freezer is always full, groceries cost more but whatever, and so forth. I guess what I am saying (badly, I know), is as a relatively well off person, I am choosing not to spend.
So as prices rise, and consumers like me, or like those who really need to cut back, do cut back, stuff will start sitting on shelves as people do not buy at the high prices. Already starting to see it here in Canada.
Passing along prices will lower demand, so fewer products sold and delivered. Dunno about construction and housing, as that is a different world.
But… I could use a new deck even as the old one still works, and I will not be buying one while wood is unreasonable. Same thing with labour/contracts (sprinkler system is waiting too).
Everything is fine, everything works, but I am sitting on my spending until it makes more sense. If many people are like me, consumption will drop, a lot. Already happening, IMHO.
As I said at the beginning, here… I can totally afford it. I just choose not to. Hate to think about the spending cutbacks for those who can afford it less.

How do I know which kinematic equation to use? | Each of the equations (remember that acceleration has to be constant) features four of the variables - so if you know three of them then you can work out the fourth - and hence the fifth. Using Standard Nomenclature
V = U + AT: No SS = UT+ 1/2 AT^2 : No VS = VT - 1/2 AT^2: No UV^2 = U^2 + 2AS: No TS/T = (U+V)/2 : No A.
Equation 1 is just a way of saying that acceleration is the change of velocity / time for change A = (V-U)/T
Equations 2 and 3 can be derived from drawing a velocity-time graph (straight line) and working out the area under the line (which is the distance travelled), noting that the difference between the start and final velocities is equal to AT (from equation 1). (or you could integrate the function).
Equation 4: can actually be derived most easily from using the ideas of work done on a unit mass: the work done = Force X Distance = Mass X Acceleration X Distance and that equals change in kinetic energy i.e. 1/2MV^2 - 1/2MU^2: remove the mass as it is constant (for the purposes of these equations)
Equation 5 is merely a statement that the average velocity (S/T) = the mean of the initial and final velocity.

Why do people vape? | There are multiple reasons for using vape based products. The first reason is that using vape and e-liquids we can ignore nicotine. Nicotine free vapes are safe and also non health hazardous. Nicotine consumption is harmful for health and it is responsible for lung cancer, bronchial asthma, and cardiac disorders. Second reason for using vape is the presence of varieties of flavours. These flavours are attractive for regular use and are able to produce the soothing effect and refresh our mind. Third one is that vapes are easy to use and [LINKED_TEXT: vapor starter kits] [URL: https://momentumvapeco.com.au/collections/full-kits] are available along with e-liquid. Vapes are also less expensive and good for regular use.
nicotine free vapes are gaining public popularity. People are more health conscious and nicotine free vapes have different blends of flavours. Lemon, cola, strawberry are the common flavours and due to these contents e-liquids are popular. In Australia nicotine is banned and people in this country are using nicotine free vape products. Moreover the dependency which is developed by using vapes is not harmful. Though certain chemicals are harmful in e-liquids like propylene glycol and diacetyl, one can avoid such products. Overall vapes are relatively safer than cigarettes and a good alternative to quit cigarette smoking.

What was your reason for leaving a tremendous tip at a restaurant? | Rhode Islander Kristen Ruggiero was a single mom of three who had had a tough time making ends meet by working the restaurant job she held for more than 15 years.
One day, i walked in and ordered a pizza, a salad, and a pitcher of beer only to settle their $42 bill by leaving $500 on the table. At first, the waitress thought i made a mistake and accidentally left the cash, thinking they were $10 bills. So Ruggiero set the money aside until i returned to the restaurant and tried to return it to me. That’s when i assured her that the $458 tip was no mistake.
Grateful for the tip, Ruggiero took the opportunity to pay off some of her bills and then spent the remainder on a trip to Six Flags with her kids.

Do you think J&K people do not consider themselves as Indian citizens? | In reply to a previous answer, we don’t know the sexualities of BTS and it’s not our business. If Hoseok was dating anyone, even another member, it’s not a subject we should put our noses in! Honestly, I believe that would never happen. BTS are friends, they could be any sexuality but just because you’re attracted to the same sex doesn’t mean you’re fooling around with all of your friends of the same sex lol. Shipping is harmless until it’s forced!

Is the use of the sigmoid as the activation of the last layer of a neural network theoretically justified? | It depends on what you want to do. If you are outputting pixel values which are normalized between 0 and 1, this makes sense. If your neural network is trying to compute the probability of an event happening, that’s another time it’s justified.
Let’s say we have a fully convolutional DCGAN (both generator and discriminator networks are made up of only convolutional layers). Say you wanted to do the classic task of image generation. You could normalize all pixels between 0 and 1, and then sigmoid will output pixel values in that range for the generated images. The discriminator could also use a sigmoid, because it could decide how confident its decision is in determine which of the two images it is seeing are fake and which is real. An output of 0.5 means it cann...

Can you take control of your blood sugar? | Managing blood sugar levels is an important part of maintaining overall health, particularly for individuals with diabetes or prediabetes. Here are some steps you can take to control your blood sugar:
1. Eat a healthy diet: Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help to manage blood sugar levels. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats, and limit your intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and saturated and trans fats.
2. Get regular exercise: Regular physical activity can help to improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days of the week.
3. Monitor your blood sugar levels: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels can help you to identify patterns and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Your healthcare provider can help you determine how often you should test your blood sugar and what your target ranges should be.
4. Take medication as prescribed: If you have been prescribed medication to manage blood sugar levels, it's important to take it as directed by your healthcare provider. This may include insulin, oral medications, or other medications to manage blood sugar levels.
5. Manage stress: Stress can have a negative impact on blood sugar levels. Finding ways to manage stress, such as through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga, can be helpful in controlling blood sugar levels.
6. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can also have a negative impact on blood sugar levels. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help regulate blood sugar levels.
It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan for managing blood sugar levels. Your healthcare provider can help you determine what lifestyle changes and medications may be appropriate for your specific needs.

How has being raised by extremely strict parents affected you as an adult? | My siblings got that treatment to a higher degree compared to me because I was the youngest. No, it was not because I was most loved. Fact is, most of the time, my presence didn't seem noticable being born in a huge family of eighteen, nine boys, nine girls. Father had three wives.
I watched every one being either spanked or caned regardless of gender. One of my brothers once had a machete threatened by my father for whatever reason we children don't seem to remember but we remember the picture in our head. It scared the hell out of me, the sound of the stainless steel machette hitting on the chopping board. It still clang in my ear clearly each time this is mentioned. He grew up abusing his own sons, unfortunately. I've witnessed him use the belt. He womenised and gambled extensively. He even caned my sisters when they started courting which I now think he had no right because he himself did not show a good example.
The eldest brother was entirely different. He became a very caring father. He was warm and soft hearted.
My sisters, each got caned horribly when they had boyfriends. I watched one die. Another bruised and yet another miscarried because of the beating.
Why did they still get themselves into trouble despite the strict parenting? It's how like when you tell a child 'No, don't do that’ and they will retaliate and do exactly what you say not to.
In this case, it's all sexual restriction. How else can they relief themselves whenthey burn with desire during their youth?
It's most unfortunate that the next generation is doing the same thing again.
How am I myself affected watching the downfall of each of my siblings? I ran away from home.
