Yes. That’s why I compared the two. However when comparing caffeine to what Id argue most people think of as stimulants like cocaine or amphetamine, they have incredibly minor effects. Its like comparing <1% thc hemp and a 90% thc concentrate imo

The ephedrine plants would be precursors to stims but still need quite a bit of preparation as far as I know. You might be able to get ephedrine extracted from a plant but that’s not a stimulant in the way we would think of adderall or cocaine or something today, having a more similar effect to caffeine.

So in rope manufacturing they have the “average breaking force” and the “safe working load” the ABF is the amount of force it takes to break a rope on average whereas the SWL is what it sounds like and is what the rope is rated to hold safely. The ABF is usually 2-10 times the weight of the SWL depending on the material but that’s because there’s a huge amount of variance in how much force different ropes that were manufactured in the same way take to break. If the ABF is 10 times the SWL, that means there were likely ropes that broke at twice the ABF. My hypothesis is that you got one of these ‘top tier ropes’ as your cable, so to speak.

Because it is.

Fun fact:

William Howard Taft, the 27th US president, had a custom-built bathtub installed in the White House to accommodate his size. The massive, porcelain tub was over seven feet long, 41 inches wide, and weighed a ton

I imagine the at least some portion of the criticism comes from irritated leftists as well. Harriet Tubman is basically a civ leader chosen to pander to and resonate with a certain US-centric audience, but it should be noted the lack of representation of actual African civilizations as compared to a continent like Europe. Here’s a couple maps to show what I mean:

It’s inherent imperialism and pandering that the same western countries are given so much love when there are so many really cool civs out there that haven’t been explored at all. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the African civilizations and city states that have made it into the game are centered (unsurprisingly) around the Mediterranean sea.

This is a joke, right?

Like they put millions of dollars into a random video game on the hope, wish, qnd dream that not only does it get super popular, but it does so to the point that people with access to classified documents are willing to leak them in exchange for winning an argument?

It doesn’t have to be. It’s the very nature of their instance that they remove voices that they disagree with, causing them to completely get their ideas from an echo chamber of people that they already agree with, causing the ‘critical thinking muscles’ of the brain to go out of use.

If you’re ever driving thru a rural area, try the fast food there. It tends to be a lot better as it’s in pretty direct competition to family owned restaurants in these areas and therefore tends to be fresher and stuff. Like near my grandpa’s farm the best breakfast around is the IHOP and its the best IHOP I’ve ever been to in my life by far because it has to compete with mom and pops diners at similar price points whereas in more populated areas the mom and pops places tend to be more expensive than fast food.

“It’s okay that it’s a racist, sexist shithole full of threats of violence because I, personally have never seen that so it must not exist. Additionally, as I personally have never seen it, you must have a ridiculous view of what extremism might be… in spite of a US senate report that goes directly against my point.”

Yes, and the ones that show air dryers to be healthier are funded by… hand dryer manufacturers.

That is a wild link

This is just entirely untrue. People generally consume more nicotine when vaping. That much is true. Vaping has significantly less toxins and dangerous chemicals than smoking cigarettes, as well as circumvent the whole tar in the lungs thing. There are no long term studies on vaping, so doctors will always say “we aren’t sure which is worse” but advise that smoking is likely to be far worse for the body than vaping. There is not a single study on earth, nor any doctors I’ve heard, that supports your claim.

Unable to see the argument behavior. The government, the other commenter is saying, must provide a viable alternative in order to prevent this behavior.

Love and trust, contrary to popular belief, are not mutually exclusive. The perfect example is the parents of a shithead teen. Also, while I agree that Anakin was turned because of his bond and the way that Palpatine manipulated him through it, to say that he didn’t love Padme is simply untrue. What makes us fear loss of a loved one if they aren’t a loved one? Fear of loss is innately connected to his love for Padme, which is the reason that jedi aren’t supposed to have attachments so as not to be influenced by their emotions. The issue with it is that he stepped into the emotionality and let the fears, angers, etc. that come alongside love to win him over. Furthermore, it is unclear that he ever really returns from the dark side. He saves his son, but in doing so breaks the same code that he broke in order to try to save Padme. It just so happens that his son was one of the good guys. My argument here is that he was still a dark-sider, or at least quasi-darksider and could have still learned to become a force ghost through that.

How can dark siders not be capable of love? Love is the very thing that caused Anakin to turn and the dark side is all about using your emotionality to your advantage. I’m not saying you’re wrong necessarily, just that whoever made that cannon is fucking stupid.

The fact that some derms offer hormonal therapy for certain cases of severe acne does not make that regular by any means. If you have a hormonal problem you go to an endocrinologist.
