While I can believe that some of the men were of the impression that it was part of a roleplay of some sort if told so by the husband, the simple thing is that she did not consent. It's rape.

There is no situation in which the decision of consent can be transferred to anyone else.

Fuckin space garbage is what it is.

Yes it was impressive that they landed a rocket again once, but the quantity of launches and satellites is doing nothing good for anyone. It should've been a stepping stone for better technology, but instead they're just mining money. Privately owned space engineering is a disgrace to humanity.

Space engineering used to unite even the worst opponents as with the international space station, but now those institutions are underfunded, while billionaire space-musk can shoot his loads into the atmosphere without any regard to the rest of the worlds population living inside said sphere.

Tax the asshole already.

Another similar naming convention in Danish is how a electric jumper/shunt (a deliberate short circuit) is called a louse. The singular form of lice.

I can hear it and am not American.

Try snubbing your nose while saying"those people"

Schools are now also transforming 17 year olds to 18 year olds.

Never used it. Never missed it. Never lost touch.

Anything that ever happened on that site worthy of being called "being in touch" has always been and always will be reported elsewhere too if its actually worthwhile. I see more more of it than I want to anyway. Even this post.

You can quit it today and not miss out on anything.

Ok, now I'm not a linguist and also not English, but in my opinion there's a difference. "People" is a broad undefined group. "Persons" is a more defined group.

Adding "those" in front also alienates them further. So by saying "those people", you are distancing yourself from them, despite them being your family. That is the amusing part for the person you talked to. You mildly insulted your family.

In a similar vain, "some people say" all the stuff that you won't to be heard saying yourself, even if it's your own opinion.

Or in some places (this might be more local) using "you"or even "one" instead of "me" when answering personal questions. For instance if someone asks: "How does it make you feel?" and answered: "It makes you feel sad" then the person answering it is distancing themselves from their own answer by literally answering on behalf on some unknown "you" when they should be using "me". Using "people" is sort of the same just on behalf of someone else.

Yup, that's how it's done when there's a heat exchanger.

However there's a reason why the boiler room is usually locked off in a 30 story building. Bleeding a radiator might be relatively harmless, but there's no way of knowing what the pressure is supposed to be without knowing the entire system.

Some (lower) buildings might even have direct district heating without an exchanger, which is absolutely no go to even bleed.

It's the next step in the narcissist prayer.

Next week they'll blame it on someone else, but you need bear with them; they're a little slow.

That depends entirely on how the system is set up. I would only ever consider increasing the amount of water in the system if I was absolutely certain that my apartment was on a completely separate and closed circuit than the other apartments. You should contact the janitor or whatever it's called.

Hmm. I just tested it in Excel. "No fill" will make it transparent. White would cover the grid lines.

So, I guess it's doable using a set of columns with identical colours. Calculating the values from a picture would also be possible - for a mad man.

The area under the guys face is blank. I'm not sure if it's possible to stack a transparent colour.

Also the vertical sequence of colours is not the same through the horizontal axis. It could be done, but the right most girl would consist of completely different data than the first two people.

It would be a lot easier to do in other ways.
