Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously. Today I also learned: Agreement (political party) Terry Gilliam had never read or seen 1984 before he made Brazil! And his co-writers and colleagues would mention it and he would just nod and smile because he was embarrassed and did not know what they meant! And now I find myself downloading the 1984 version of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which may be self-harm. Corridor Crew and Adam Savage did an episode about Brazil and it’s pretty great. Fair warning: Corridor Crew are two degrees of separation from supporters of the alt right mentality. They have produced (and, in some way, still produce) content for Black Rifle Coffee, who have Trump supporters in their midst and are trying to turn themselves into, quote, “the Starbucks of the Right”. Now, if you decide to flee or not is your choice — I know a few of the creators behind the brand are “not political”, which is a weak signal — but it’s not reassuring that they have not dissolved this brand relationship, either. I kinda hate their whole “podcast bro” schtick where they yell on the couch and pretend to be seeing things for the first time, but despite that, the details and explanations they reveal in those “Artists React” segments are often really interesting. Certainly much easier to parse than the clip reels and fake-behind-the-scenes PR videos that the effects studios put out. I much prefer the Movie Rabbit Hole guy’s approach. Spin the filter so the bokeh changes, and you get some fun effects. There are more people now experimenting with it and making some neat stuff. Good CGI is invisible. Dozens of movies that proclaim how they did everything “for real” use it extensively, and then pretend that they don’t.
The “Two-Thirds” Rule: Never fill the bag to the brim. Filling it about two-thirds of the way allows the bag to stay flexible so it can wrap around your arm or leg. Expel Excess Air: After filling, lay the bag on a flat surface and gently press until water appears at the opening. Squeeze the extra air out before screwing the cap on. This prevents the bag from feeling like a hard, bouncy “balloon” and ensures maximum surface contact with your skin. Storage Matters: When not in use, drain the bag completely and hang it upside down (without the stopper) to dry internally. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, which can crack the rubber. 1. How do I prevent it from leaking? The KME design features a high-quality, leak-proof stopper. However, you should always check the rubber washer for signs of wear. Ensure you screw the stopper in straight-avoid over-tightening, which can strip the threads and cause leaks over time.
But for those who aren’t bothered by the idea of becoming the biological parent for another couple’s children, donating genetic material can be profitable and even rewarding. Women who donate an egg are paid between $5,000 and $8,000 for the time and discomfort of the process. Egg donors typically must be between 20 and 30 years old, at an average weight for their height and non-smokers. The donation process is involved: daily drug injections for a month and an outpatient procedure for the donation. Sperm donors get between $50 and $100 per donation. Donation cycles last six months to a year, with donations made up to three times a week, so the money adds up. Donors must be at least 18 years old, but can donate up until the age of 40. Most banks require that men be above average in height (5’7″ or 5’9″). Some require a high school diploma, or even a college degree. Between the initial screening and regular donations, the time commitment can be great.
Category C27: Other Compounds of Tessic Polychora – Any compound of tessic polychora that doesn’t fit in any other category. Category C28: Other Ico Compounds – Any compound of ico or regiment members that doesn’t fit in any other category. Category C29: Other Compounds of Icoics – Any compound of icoic polychora that doesn’t fit in any other category. Category C30: Other Compounds of Prisms – Any compound of polyhedral prisms or antiprisms that doesn’t fit in any other category. Category C31: Other Compounds of Duoprisms – Any compound of duoprisms or related that doesn’t fit in any other category. Category C32: 120-Ex Regiment – Compounds based on the 120-ex compound – remember pedisna, the 12-ex in rox army, well there’s a 10-rox compound – mix these concepts and you get this horrific regiment of monsters, many are mixed. This can also be thought of as a compound of 10 pedisnas, or alternatively 12 sodis. Found during the PDW. Category C33: 120-Gishi Regiment – Compounds based on the 120-gishi compound – I bet the 120-gax and the chiral 60-gax will look horrificly complex and could put the dircospids to shame.
