Yes. I still have a chunk. My brother worked at a mine for a summer. Guess what I got the following Christmas? He thought he was hilarious...

Yet again, dismissing and reframing the event...

The conviction still has to be decided, yet the action has been judged to be sexual assault which is what brought the charges in the first place, and the judge had already decided the jail time involved. Try to keep up.

If that’s sexual assault, that also should be punished with jail, remains for the court to decide.

It was sexual assault, and the punishment was jail as decided by a judge. But here you are, arguing against it despite having no authority at all...

For the unwanted sexual assault, and the concerted effort to dismiss and reframe the event afterwards that was designed to silence her while never taking responsibility for anything.

Like seriously, the charges are in the article. And here you are, trying to dismiss and reframe the event afterwards...

That's how you can tell someone is a Maritimer. "The other day" is anywhere between yesterday and 4 weeks ago. "A while back" is anything over 4 weeks ago.

For a cat that you are personally paying to have neutered, they will do anything you want. There are options to just surgically sterilize and leave everything intact. But that's not only much more expensive, it also leaves their behavior the same which isn't always desirable. Unless you enjoy a male spraying all over your house, that is.

But for a farmer that has to sterilize a herd, they aren't spending the time and money on a vet to come and surgically neuter every animal they have. A rubber band is cheap and can be done by the farmer, and a vet only has to be called if an infection happens. It's been done for centuries. No one is going to spend 50 times the amount of money if they don't have to.

I can hear this gif...

You're still cutting into tissue, introducing a potential infection vector, and then need to delicately cut and clamp small vessels before stitching it back up vs stretching a rubber band with a special tool and then waiting a while. The skill level involved isn't anywhere near the same.

I think you misread that, because $40,000 in 1966 is roughly $385,000 in today's dollars.

Edit: conversely, $40,000 in today's dollars would be $4,176.25 in 1966.

Shit.

I just drag down from the top of the screen, and tap the Bluetooth button. That's it. The Bluetooth connection screen pops up, but that doesn't turn on Bluetooth. I have tap the toggle to actually turn on Bluetooth, just like OP describes. I have a Pixel 8 with stock Android 14.
