I’m not sure how you think critical thinking works. Do you have some sort of magical logic flow that doesn’t requiere some base understanding of facts?

Guy trying to sell quartz as “energy enhancing crystals” -> no understanding as to how body energy works -> might be legit, let’s give it a try

Guy trying to sell quartz as “energy enhancing crystals” -> knowing that available body energy is dictated by ATP and has nothing to do with crystals -> this smells like a scam

Critical thinking is about being able to apply knowledge of what you know to what you are currently being told. You need some basis of real, provable facts for it, which is why if you had a bio course, you also likely had some lab component to it as well.

Sure, I hear you cry, but all of that information isn’t something I need to know basically ever! Well, you’re correct, but a fun thing about learning is that the deeper you cut into a subject, the more you remember. You probably wouldn’t remember much if the entire unit only said “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”.

And doing these deep cuts to reinforce the basics of understanding work. There is a reason that “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” is a meme, and it’s because everyone remembers that part, not nessessarily the part that they have their DNA that is always inherented from your mother and is referred to as mDNA.

I hope this helps you to think critically against the continued push against critical thinking, particularly to the claim that what you learned in school has nothing to do with doing it.

Shades of Spooks S8E03, but that had a voting system instead of an active bounty.

Yeah, very handy for bots. People, however, tend to have online identities or personas that they will try to carry forward on account names they create.

Burner accounts notwithstanding, of course.

“The Onion was the highest bidder[…]”

Literally the point of the suit is that The Onion was not the highest bidder. From the article:

The exact bid amount offered by the Onion for InfoWars remains unknown, but it has been reported it was lower than First United American’s bid of $3.5m.

The victims of Jones decided it was better to get less money and not allow the brand to go to one of his allies to continue the usual operations. They are saying that even though they effectively own the brand, that they don’t have the right to choose who it’s sold to.

There is only one way this should go, but…

I feel like this is an extreme punt, but:

CAULK

As is the waterproofing seals on a (bolting) nut?

What makes you say that? This one was possibly my fastest completion to date (mind, I don’t do these religiously).

No. Some positions have cabinet-level ranks (not press secretary) like chief of staff, but being on the cabinet itself requires being the head of one of the major administrative departments. Pretty much any of them can do significant damage with the wrong person installed.

How do you deal with those labels that want to tear themselves into ribbons? This is part of the reason I leave them on the box and heat them in place.

Could be worse.

Skin of my teeth on this one, though it’s the first time I’ve played it and maybe the third I’ve played a wordle-like game. Spammed vowels and consonants for most guesses and started filling in the answers. Top right was a total punt, though.

I mean, it wasn’t even the prince that looked for her, but that duke guy with the wild moustache.

every city every town burn the precinct to the ground

Pretty sure, anyway

Can’t inject shitty ads in my mountain of board games.

What’s going on with Hawaii, then?

I absolutely use these, but mostly only when traveling, at which point they are my showering shoes.

I worry a lot about the possibility of getting foot fungus, so avoid direct contact when in a hotel shower.

Same here, I did make some amount of bread as a sort of novelty, but after a month most of my use came down to having it make my pizza dough for me. Did that for years.

Asking honestly: do you think doing so would change anything?

TL;DR: The bill applies to direct delivery and DoorDash-like delivery (this is already legal and simply removes or extends sunsetting clauses).

Author of this article apparently does not know the difference between this and what “to go” implies. Or is looking for rage-clicks. Hope I saved a few.

Inside Job was also renewed until it was suddenly rugged, so I’m not holding my breath for anything Netflix produces until it actually airs.

The buy page literally lists videos and music as being part of what you’re buying with Prime, and unlimited storage for photos and that twitch sub are also listed benefit if you click the view more button.

I don’t know why that would be considered “free” since they’re literally advertising those things.

How are any of these things “free” if you’re paying to get these “free” features?
