Yeah, but the way OP wrote the sentence, it reads like they're saying the children can make a baby before they themselves are born.

This is an incredibly badly written sentence.

Do you mean Alzheimer's?

Yes. That is definitely almost all of Lower Decks.

But with Kodi, there is zero transcoding required. I just play directly from an SMB share without the processing overhead of transcoding. So, despite Kodi's many flaws, I've stuck with it.

Yes. As a fan of the Foundation books, I only made it a few episodes into the TV show. They just departed too much from the themes of the books.

The fact that my video collection will mostly not play in browser just breaks the entire navigation environment of Jellyfin.

You would be penalizing people for decisions made by the food industry. The very large and powerful food industry. In America, you already usually pay more money to get bread without corn syrup added to it (as just one example). It's in almost everything. YOu pay more money for the equivalent lower calorie/more natural food. Add on to that the fact that most Americans are no longer taught to cook whole foods (most never have a single Home Economics class in their education), and you have long term effects from decisions made by large social systems. Yet, we blame individuals, no matter their social class or individual biology.

I am not Chinese, but I think that the concept of "Face" seems the same as one of the meanings of "honor" in English. "Honor" can mean glory, but it also means one's reputation and standing/respect within social structure in a way that seems very like "face". People will even say that a person does something "to save face", and it's very entwined with one of the ways the word honor is used. I think the primary difference is that this idea is not as important in say, the USA in the same exact personal formal way it once was in the past. Our culture has become more casual over time, and the vocabulary has changed slightly. In colonial and early America, people would fight duels to the death over a verbal insult to their reputation. In the early 20th century, some families would still hide an out of wedlock pregnancy to "save face" for the entire family. People now only worry about face very much in a professional setting, and not as much in matters of personal life. Instead of having one definition of this that crosses all person and professional relationships, the personal relationships are more individually defined. Even then, this varies with profession, and would be more common in a military profession than something like education. You will still find people who will not accept charity until they are literally starving in order to "save face" and protect their social standing reputation.

They all use it if they want to pass school, so you are out of luck.

I also thought, "Wow, what a platter!" when I saw that scene.

Those the the ones! They look so sweet and innocent and pretty, until you grow kale, cabbage, bok choy, etc.
