I wanted to make sure I had a full set for 16 plus serving dishes, as I host parties and intend on having a family. Unless you find particularly thin dishes though, this takes a lot of space.
I personally detest having special occasion items though, so my everyday dishes are my China set, which is fairly thin, and saves me from having to have storage for special occasions.
Corel and bone China can be very compact and exceptionally tough. A standard set for 8 should get you through anything.
Yeah but nobody really believes in that shit. It's just a pyramid scheme.
Well at least they'd be real. You could just ask them what they meant instead of arguing over it until a war starts.
Hard one. I'll list a few I suppose
The terminal man by Michael chrichton: a paranoid man has electrodes implanted in his head to stop violent fugue states he enters, but he learns to control the electrodes, and accidentally sets off significantly more intense violent outbursts
Annihilation by Jeff vandermeer: the first part of the southern reach trilogy, an expedition of scientists are sent into a possibly alien anomaly to find out what it is and how to stop it from growing and consuming the land. The environment inside is confusing and seems to infect anyone inside it in some way.
Wizard and Glass by Stephen King: the fourth book in the dark tower series, it's a flashback to the main characters adolescence, his first mission as an ambassador and spy for his kingdom to find out how a small town may be secretly participating in a civil war, and how a witch may be controlling the enhabitants.
The Stranger by Albert Camus: a man with no motivation or real concern finds himself the focus of a murder trial, and without any interest in defending himself, can't see how nobody is on his side.
Proof of aliens, maybe. If we find out there's an entirely different version of life somewhere else, it would disprove pretty much every religion in existence.
I'm a 6'5 reasonably muscular male running two offices entirely staffed by women, except for two gay guys. There's no masculine competition, which is nice, and communication is much more personal. Due to my strict rule of not considering any of my coworkers potential partners, I make sure I'm as supportive as possible without being threatening to any of the girls or their respective partners. It's very interesting seeing how patients act towards me vs the other workers. They seem to treat me as an authority figure, and take what I say at face value, even if I'm just confirming what one of the women already told them. The girls have to convince patients they're professional and not jerking them around, where I can just state something and they'll believe me. I'm viewed as a scientist, and the women are viewed as salesmen or interns.
I mentioned my stature earlier, because it's led to me being the office protector. I will defuse situations, defend my workers, and even fire patients if they offend anyone else in the office. If a rep for a company talks down to any of the women, or only wants to speak to me, I won't do business with them.
Ive hired men before, but they never last. They either make the girls uncomfortable, try to start relationships, or try to butt heads with me as if they hold authority over anyone else. It's very easy to see how someone with less feministic views could easily take advantage of the situation I'm in.
Edit: they're always fucking cold though. 73 degrees is not fucking cold Donna. I'm wearing a suit. Put on a sweater.
Not really a theory as much as a fanfic. It's just an idea with no evidence or supporting content. Just someone saying "wouldn't it be cool if..."
Raising Arizona, hands down.
"Her womb was a rocky place, for which my seed could take no purchase."
Tramadol definitely puts you in a good mood. It also makes you have drastic angry mood swings when it wears off. Don't take more than you need, it builds a tolerance quickly.
There's a type of bacteria that infects caterpillars and produces a toxin that makes them lose all rigidity. The toxin is called MCF.
MCF stand for Makes Caterpillars Floppy
That really does seem to be asking too much. There's already so much resistance to pronouns at all without acting like a puzzlebox.
Eostre is the fertility festival marking the start of mating season. I usually make donuts.
Grab a partner and celebrate all week.
