I typically don’t care about things like hairstyle, makeup or clothes. But my wife has started giving herself a buzz cut and I simply hate it. I told her and she grew it out for a while, but she said longer hair was making her depressed and it needed to be a buzz cut. She said it just looks like her when she sees it. Part of...
An 8x5 rectangle. If the bottom left corner is considered (0, 0), then two lines are drawn within the rectangle, from (0, 4) to (8, 1) and from (1, 5) to (7, 0). The smaller two regions of the four these lines cut the rectangle into are shaded. What is their combined area?
The description doesn’t match the image. The image shows two lines that intersect. The description’s lines would not intersect as stated. My answer is for the image, not the description.
The first line’s coordinates should be 0,4 to 8,1. The second should be 1,5 to 7,0.
The amount of Gollum we got in Fellowship of the Ring and An Unexpected Journey was the right amount. The amount we got in The Two Towers and Return of the King was a bit much.
Hopefully the new movie is more Hunt and less Gollum.
I’m guessing they took Gandalf’s line “I looked everywhere for the creature Gollum, but the enemy found him first” and are extrapolating that into a 3-hour movie.
Animals cannot consent to hair-dying, and it can be an irritating/painful process for some humans, so that likely extends to animals as well. A person cannot knowingly, in good conscience, condone it.
Edit: I see we’ve got some of the anti-consent crowd in here.
Hair-dyeing is an aesthetic choice for entertainment. Children can consent to dyeing their hair because they can understand and accept the skin irritation. When we say children cannot consent, we are talking about activities with consequences they cannot grasp.
If you are equating dyeing the hair of animals with giving children vaccines necessary for their health, you’re a laughably obtuse self-centered buffoon, at best.

I think their point was that if you don’t know the conversion rate, you might think he was paying a lot, but he wasn’t. The implication as to why that point was made, I speculate, is because cheap abuse is more despicable than better-paid abuse?
What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?
I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.
