I forgot to add if your doing heavier stuff getting a piece of wood in the underside horizontally between the brackets will counter sagging issues. I've had luck with even doing 1"nominal(0.75in actual) screwed in the center line and you can't even see it from most angles.
Make sure to take into account the brackets width when getting the stiffening strips if you opt for that and it doesn't need to be a snug fit.

Doesn't sound like a bad trend to me because it probably makes the house more durable. Only issue I have with baseboards is the gap behind furniture it create that gets dirty. So is undercutting walls out of fashion then?

I think you're looking for the most durable thread for buttons, not strongest. For literal strongest you can get bullet resistant fabric thread like Kevlar thread and Dyneema, or use fishing line as thread. I suspect each of those has some reason or another that they are less durable for buttons. Dyneema might be the exception because it's more flexible and low friction of all the those, idk how well it would hold a knot though

Your best best for durability is waxed thread like other mentioned.

Indicted is one step short of arrest. It means federal grand jury has voted and decided it's more likely than not that they committed the crimes and is a prerequisite for the federal government to charge anyone with a felony.(Except in certain time or situation sensitive cases where they can arrest and have the grand jury vote on it at the next available session.)

In my experience it's new prescriptions, prescriptions that need I.D, or at the better pharmacies they sometimes resolve issues with prescriptions by calling the doctor's office or insurance. App integration saves time but often doesn't include controlled substances all the way, or sometimes isn't integrated properly.

It's unclear, but if they do, it's at a rate much lower than people do. They do suffer a sort of phantom limb occasionally, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are more able to remap their brain considering how well they adapt and thrive with 3 limbs. I've been volunteering with a animal rescue for 11 years so I've dealt with plenty of 3 legged cats.

This is why I liked it when ordering pickup became a thing on your phone. If someone takes more than a few minutes in your vehicle to decide what to order than pick for them because many people on on their break or have other time commitments.

If I were to make a list of 10 strongest personalities probably 4 would be white or black and white, 2 tabbies, and 2 torties/calico and 2 black cats. This is with 11 years of being in a animal rescue.

I find white cats to have the most prominent personalities. I realise it's a bias though due to a few unique white cats I fostered. A white cat was the only cat to break out of one of my live traps(it was a very muscular kitty), A white flame point was the only foster I had that figured out it could run on the wall with momentum. People love to talk up Tortie-tude but white cats and black and white cats have been the ones with especially unique personalities for me.

I bring this up as it was something I discovered later in life and definitely explained why I have to count out loud. I don't have dyscalculia so it's not a comorbidity.

Fun tidbit about Dyslexia. It can cause issues counting issues, particularly when not out loud past a certain number range. It's not a easy bit to google unfortunately using google on it results in google bypassing even quotation marks (which is meant to tell it to use that word in particular) to look up dyscalculia instead, unless you use: "dyslexia" and "counting". Bing however is much better at bringing up relevant sites in this case.

It would be neat if it actually did, but all evidence of improved efficiency so far shows signs of cherry picking with more credible larger studies showing no improvement. Much of the improvements AI could do has already been addressed by machine learning before the ChatGPT boom. This includes reading handwriting, which is arguably one of the biggest successes of machine learning, and interpreting the results of cell staining tests.
So far "AI" has just worsened people information illiteracy.

WWII at least. I don't know enough history to say if any war after is indisputably protecting the USA but WWII the USA was directly attacked in Pearl Harbor.

To nerd on the reasons why is soluble fiber forms a gel that can help lubricate the bowels and is particularly active in supporting gut flora. Miralax works by helping the bowels retain water by increasing the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is the resistance that a solution has to going across a membrane, so it make it harder for the large intestines to pull moisture out of poop. The large intestine pulling too much moisture out for one reason or the other is the cause for most constipation

Particularly soluble fiber, and being hydrated. It can come in a pill, powdered, fiber bar, or from foods like oats. Also miralax is great.

I have it blacklisted from my google search results(using uBlacklist) because it is more often that not inaccurate, manipulates search results to indicate information that isn't there, and integrates ads so that they look like a part of the actual website itself.

I argue it is a shortsword.
For a average height person it would technically be considered a long knife if it was a knife/dagger, however a knife is typically single edged if meant for cutting or double edged for stabbing while string is double edged and meant for slashing or stabbing. SInce the length cutoff for short swords and the size estimates of sting in the book vary I'd say it depends more on how it is used than how long it is, and it was used as a short sword by Frodo.

It's a portable induction cooktop in most likely tiny studio apartment. I doubt there is rat poop there, just specks of something else. The plastic and foil is probably leftover from food prep and can be cleaned up afterwards. Maybe the should clean as they go with cooking, but I'm not going to judge someone who is cooking food in a place without a traditional stove and oven when there is no evidence of stains from continued neglect. Everything there can be cleaned when the put away the cooktop.

I've had a few fosters resistant like that. I'm guessing putting him outside the room isn't a option. Best of luck dealing with it then.

I can say on some level kittens/cats understand the concept of leaving a sleeping person alone. Kittens 90% of the time stop at the grumpy glare stage. If you use canned air don't use it point blank. If they don't care about the water you can add a little vinegar, in either case aim for the body not the head. Never use a method that you aren't sure you can control your temper with. Source: I been in a animal rescue and fostering over 11 years.

Cat's can be trained though. idk if you can use earplugs for the meowing(in just enough to drown the noise) but even if you can't you can use a stepped escalation to teach them. Using running accrues me during sleep as example, I first scruff them and gif them grumpy glare, 2nd time I either toss them under the covers so they have to find their way out or scruff verbal reprimand and set on floor, and last I use canned air which is terrifying to cats. Spray bottle can easily work in place of air.

Facebook marketplace and other local used markets often has a ton up for sale, like most exercise equipment there is a big secondary market of people buying stuff with the idea they suddenly will gain the discipline to keep using it.
