I still have no idea what a Tankie is. As far as I can tell it only exists here on Lemmy and I might be one.

Should have been a swimming droid.

What is it?

I’m leaning towards dick here. This is how people learn - why not be a good chap and help someone develop a hobby?

This is a 6 month old article.

I don’t look like that.

This is almost always the result of who gets included/excluded in the study. Scroll all the way down to criticisms in this link and you’ll see a reasonably good discussion of it. Basically smokers tend to be leaner and have crappy outcomes, sick people or those with pre-existing health issues tend to lose weight etc. Including “lean” people who have other risk factors is the entire effect.

For the record this same effect is present in the “is one drink a day good for you?” debate. If you include people who can’t drink because of medication or extreme illness the alcohol use looks good. Toss all the abstainers who aren’t in peak health, and alcohol use looks very bad. The results are driven entirely by the inclusion criteria.

If we can agree that children shouldn’t see beatings, torture, and murder, then sure.

Gently wash then oil. Not scour.

Source?

A list like this is always going to be controversial. But I cannot believe that The History of English didn’t make the list.

Boobs squish at crash forces. The pressure with crash testing is keep every variable consistent so that results can be compared over time. I read an article years ago about the trouble of maintaining a supply of “tea rose” colored underwear for that reason.

This all true, but wood still burned. You think forest fires are bad now? Imagine several centuries of dry timber stacked up waiting for a lightning strike.

I read all of that and none of it made sense except the child soldiers part. And even then I’m not certain that you aren’t being funny.

I didn’t forget. I have no idea who this person is. Wikipedia lists some music and other business ventures but no controversies or social activism. A soldier for money?

It’s very short and perpendicular to the skin. It feels like velvet.

Can confirm.

I thought Pushing Tin was the aircraft controllers movie.

It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because she loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.
