Nah, he'd still do it because he's that much of an evil dumbass.

They will say no especially when they hear his dangerous it is. My uncle fell off the roof and ended up with a hernia. It took forever to do the surgery to fix it. And really, 300k? How expensive do you think that's going to make a house? As much as I hate the idea there's only so much that you can charge for something. We'd have to somehow go after the corporation for unprecedented profit in addition to raising wages.

You're adding parameters to say that women don't have as much endurance as men. Have a race in which everyone has to run the same speed and see how long they can do it. That is true endurance. You can't add parameters and say it's a true test of a single one.

The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

"Fastest" does not mean the best endurance. You would be looking at the "longest".

That's a ton of assumption and reductionism. This is frankly insulting. Your primary argument that endurance is meaningless only makes me think that it comes from many current popular sports that rely on fastest speeds rather than what the article was actually trying to convey. Women in the past could have and did hunt, especially given that many in several different cultures were buried with hunting weapons, and the article used the scientific nature of a woman's body to prove her endurance. Just because you discount endurance completely doesn't mean the rest of society is so closed minded.

Better doesn't always equal faster.

Better can equal going further.

Better can equal being more efficient.

Efficient means using less calories to do the same thing.

Yep, I use the end of a butter knife. You're fighting the pressure that built up rather than how tight the lid is screwed.

My dad's medical bills were over $100,000 in his first year of cancer alone. He had liver cancer which is generally hard to beat and by the time they found it, his liver was 1/3 cancer. It permeated throughout his liver and they couldn't cut it out. Chemo and radiation were the only options. He had so many drugs costing thousands of dollars each. He had a team of doctors, one for each organ system, including the oncologists. The last year or two, he spent more time in the hospital than out of it. That's no way anyone could afford that without obscene wealth.

Honestly, given that they are using a narrow definition of specifically an evergreen being decorated I don't agree. I'm not sure why we wouldn't include other types of winter holiday trees or bushes like the ones decorated for Saturnalia. There's also a lot of "probably" and supposition in this video.

Any chance this dentist is in the American South? And still in practice?

Cats meow in the same register that human babies cry. They aren't saying that cats are specifically trying to cry like a human baby, but that cats as a species have grown over thousands of years to meow in the same pitches as human babies.

I used rainbow yarn and added pink claws and horns because the rainbow skein just didn't have a very good pink.
