Today when me and my girlfriend were riding we lost power momentarily with the rear brake. Here’s a rundown of what happened. We leave my house and within twenty minute begin an aggressive east cost USA mountain climb. Extremely twisty. We hit the twisty roads within thirty minutes. We climb fast and are having a good time. As we go to descend there’s no power in my rear brake. But if I pump it it eventually gets power back. So my initial thought was bubble in the line. We get down the hill very slowly and pull over. Let the bike cool down. And we are back to 100% power. We then do another mountain climb, and descend, with no issue. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
This gets much more complicated after this. The way we pass on genes requires a Y-Chromosome from the man being passed down from a father to a son, which he got from his father (the paternal grandfather of this hypothetical child).
Does this mean that a man is less related to his mother's father, who only gave her an X chromosome which he may have gotten a piece of?
Is a new X-Chromosome always 50/50 of it's two sources of genetic material? Or is it a bell curve and you could end up with an X-Chromosome which is almost entirely from one source or the other, making you less related?
I think that if DC really wants to show respect for the equality of women, it will never again have Power Girl or Batwoman or Batgirl or any other female superhero go up against a villain who is a sexist pig or whose shtick is "misogynist"
-- after all, Superman and Green Lantern never spend all their time fighting villains who hate men or whose shtick is "misandrist"!
In my personal opinion, Power Girl and Oracle work best when they are treated as superheroes who happen to be female and not as superheroes who "represent womankind" or who "prove DC's gender awareness credentials."
Power Girl is awesome just for being herself! Same with Supergirl, same with Batgirl, same with Batwoman -- and especially true with Wonder Woman (and with Mary Marvel when DC is not odiously sexualizing her)!
I'd love to see Power Girl go up against a villain who is completely indifferent to what gender she is, who has no crush on her, and who never thinks to make a single sexist comment.
What do others think about this?
Why didn't he just flip the main breaker? The box was right underneath him
Hey, all! I posted this same question in r/mtg and received a lot of helpful suggestions, so I wanted to bring it over here as well and see what anyone here might propose. I saw a similar question asked on another forum but it was from a while ago which is why I wanted to ask it now. Basically, what in all of Magic’s history, from inception to current sets, do you think belongs on a kind of “Next-in-Line” Power 9 list? I hesitate to call it an “Updated” Power 9 list, which would just contain the same exact cards as are on the current Power 9, whose cheap and powerful/mana accel effects cannot quite be dethroned. As one redditor phrased it, we’re looking more for cards that are not so much merely broken in a specific format, but “busted in a vacuum”. I had originally thought to search for the cards that are banned in most formats, but another redditor pointed out that a better metric would be the cards banned in Legacy or restricted in Vintage. Here’s the list that that subreddit came up with so far (in no particular order):
- Library of Alexandria
- Bazaar of Baghdad
- Mishra’s Workshop
- Sol Ring
- Mana Crypt
- Tolarian Academy
- Oko, Thief of Crowns
- Channel
- Gaea’s Cradle
Any other thoughts on what else you think does or does not belong on here? Thanks!
So this happened around 7-8 years ago when i was working at a bakery/fastfood chain. We sold sandwiches, and some warm food Like sausages/hotdogs etc. One part of the counter was reserved for people standing in line, talking with our staff and paying for their food - the other was for fetching your food once it was done. The location was the arrival hall of a trainstation, so there were a lot of people standing in line pretty much all the time.
That afternoon there wer about 30 people standing in line. Out of the corner of my eyes i saw the entitled wife(ew) and her husband come running from the platforms. Both in sleek business suits and very much able to run. Hubby stands to the side and ew walks up to stand next to the person who waited 10 minutes to be first in line. We are severely understaffed and the line was long enough to divide the arrival hall in half - so it is very obvious whereyou are supposed to stand. I proceed to take and fulfill orders as fast as i can, while ignoring ew in favor of the people who have been standing in line the longest. After 2 minutes she can't take it anymore.
Ew: excuse me? Are you intentionally ignoring me? Me: Hello ma'am, yes i was intentionally serving the people who have been waiting in line for 10 minutes first. If you would like to order please go to the end of the line and wait your turn like everyone else does. (Ok i admit i was kind of snapping at her, but that line had been there for around an our without getting shorter and some people had to get to their next train while i was burning skid marks in the floor from turning between counter and coffee-machines)
Ew: But we have to reach our next train. Me: ma'am this is a trainstation, 50% of people in that line need to go to their train soon. You may ask the person next in line if they would let you go first though.
Ew: But my husband is disabled (remember: the running rich-looking husband standing behind her in business attire looking embarassed now)
Me: (while i keep preparing orders) Ma'am we have hundreds of customers everyday. Very diverse. Many of which are blind like my own father, or deafblike my mother, walking with crutches or can't walk at all because they sit in a wheelchair. Some can barely keep standing because they have chronic pains, but they all stand and wait in line. Meanwhile I saw both of you running here separately, you both seem coherent enough and your husband does not look like he has problems standing. If a crippled perso
