I always tell people that a bonus is imaginary and should never be considered as part of a job offer.

If you do acheive a partial amount one year the next year the “calculations” to get one will change to fuck you over.

Very effective, very terrifying.

I would get a professional in to take a look at it personally. That looks like a complete tearout and redo to me. I assume there are voids under all of those tiles. They will all be popping up or breaking if left.

Okay first off those are large ceramic tiles not the laminate etc it looked like.

Second off, why the fuck??? I am guessing somebody wanted to level the floor. Instead of doing it properly they just tossed globs of mortar on the floor and shoved the tiles on top.

As somebody who grew up with one, root cellars suck.

There is always something rotting in them that you have to throw out. So you get a nasty rotten vegetable and dirt smell going all the time.

Add that in to the brined pickles/cabbage that was fermenting and it was nasty.

Running to get some carrots in the middle of the winter when it’s -25C out is not fun either.

The bulk of those “Charitable” contributions are “voluntary” contributions to the mormon church. Members must contribute 10% of their income plus a little extra just because in order to hold positions of leadership in the church, get married attend cult weddings and most importantly not go to hell.

The mormon church uses less than 1% of their funds for humanitarian needs. The other 99% is used to expand the hundreds of billions in hoarded wealth.

“tone policing in British English”

noun the rejection of an argument on the grounds of the tone in which it is delivered rather than on the grounds of its content

Sigh a nice attempt but it misses some important details.

It is only tangently related to temperature. Most of our food crops actually does okay with higher temps up to a point. For example parthenocarpic cucumbers are often grown at temps around over 45C.

The largest reason is water. Specifically water in the air aka humidity.

Just because the sun is shining and hitting it’s leaves doesn’t mean that the photosynthetic pathway in plants is working.

Plants breath through their stomata’s. These holes on the leaves allow gas exchange but also water to escape.

When they lose too much water the stomata’s close and the plant stops photosynthesizing as the CO2 supply is exhausted.

Protected culture (greenhouses/screen houses) primarily increase yields by maintaining high humidity around the plants. Higher humidity means the plants lose less water and can utilize more light through the day.

Shade structures like solar panels and a trampolines slow down air motion and raise the local humidity. Not as effectively greenhouses/screen houses but enough to make a difference.

Until it gets to be too much shade. Plants have shade reactions where if the light levels fall below a minimum threshold the plants photosynthetic pathway shuts down. Exactly what is too much shade depends on the species of plant and the ambient solar radiation levels.

Enamel coated cast iron is what you are looking for. The ones that are coated on the outside but bare on the inside.

They are safe for glass tops stoves but you get to season the inside like a normal one

My guess:

The easiest thing to see and recognize is movement. This is especially true on the relatively cheap cameras these drones are using.

So when a drone is nearby and they are under cover, pretending to be another tree probably kept them alive for a while.

Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.

Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It’s a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.

…“tribalism” is a hard-to-escape fact of human neurology simply because many human brains are not adapted to working with large populations

I spent a lot of time on places where the coffee is normally brewed a bit stronger (Italy, Turkey, North Africa etc).

I tend just fill up the filter paper to around to 2/3rds.

I have also been banned from making coffee at a few offices I have worked since. Their shrill cries of “Who made the coffee???” were quite fun however.

Not usually in my experience. Almost all target shooting is on relatively flat ranges. Especially not for ranges that short.

For those that don’t know, when firing down the slope the effect of gravity decreases the bullets velocity loss. So the bullet transverses the distance in less time and drops less over a given distance.

When firing up a slope the bullet loses velocity due to gravity. So it drops more due to the extra time it takes for the bullet to transverse the distance.

If you have a regular 30.06 bullet with a rifle sighted in at 200 yards, it will hit around 5" lower than you aim at 250 yards depending on the gun and conditions.

If you have it sighted in at 300 yards and aim for center mass (heart) the bullet will hit around 5" above where they are aiming.

In both conditions the bullet hits the neck area.

Hmmmm… think about how hard tracking a sniper would be on a university campus via surveillance cameras if they dressed to fit in. A black computer backpack from big box store combined with a university branded outfit and hat. Then walk into highly congested areas like a student union building and make a quick change into a different university branded outfit.

They could then walk to public transit with the crowd of people as the officials shut down the school.

Yes well trained people with the right software could eventually figure it out but it would take time.

The longer it takes the more chance the shooter gets away.

So from a historical context:

A Nazi killing a Jew during WWII was not murder but a Jew killing a Nazi was.

A modern perspective:

A Israeli killing Palestinians is not murder, but a Palestinians killing Isrealis is.

Just a sec… the flying spaghetti monster al-though not a vengeful god does concur, it’s smiting.

He likely missed. He was either aiming for center mass (most likely), or the head. In either case he was 8" high or low respectively from misjudging the distance.

My guess is it was likely a shot at center mass that went high. This was was no 3000m special forces sniper insanity.
