Mine's mostly set on 22. When I feel cold I bump that up to 24, 26, maybe even 28. When I've done at the gym (multiple times per week) I want cooling down so I turn it down to 16 or 14.

Can you cite any peer reviewed studies that show scientific thinking necessarily leads away from omnivory?

Reminds me of the time I had to explain to a friend that twat was not a synonym for twit.

Yes and no. Everywhere "Western" has an extradition treaty with the USA so there's no point fleeing to any of those. Russia isn't a great choice but if he values his freedom it's probably the least worst option.

But you DO have a PhD. Claiming it is somehow not valid is a criticism of the establishment that awarded it to you. You're just suffering from impostor syndrome, that's all.

Also, no employer will consider someone fresh out of education, even someone with a PhD, to have vast quantitites of useful real-world experience, so even declaring a PhD won't see you land your first job with the expectations that you'll ace every bit of it from day one.

It's good that you realise you know nothing. That is both accurate and useful. But don't take it too far. What your PhD proves is that you have an ability to learn, understand and communicate, and THAT is what employers are looking for.

For extra points, write some random almost coherent stuff, ROT13 it then steganographise it into those dick pics.

It's like one of those irregular verbs. I've got a cool fantasy, you're a pervert, he's in jail, etc.

Sounds like it's not just me that goes "ok then, try arguing with this" when power cycling an unresponsive computer.

It's completely valid but needs careful use because it can be destructive. Unrestrained anger is way too common and a huge problem for everyone around those afflicted with it.

Not everyone is immune to swearing; I don't see any point in causing unnecessary offence; and they contribute nothing to the meaning, except perhaps voicing a level of emotion which can be better expressed in other ways.

Old man yells at Swift: wait, are we talking about Trump or Putin here?
