There are a lot of assumptions here. The specific frequency of the microwave oven is tuned to be absorbed by water molecules.

Yes other materials, particularly metals, (shape and size matter too) can absorb the RF energy as well, but a lot do not, and the RF passes harmlessly through them.

Just like the massive amounts of RF that is going through you right now, every second of everyday. It is everywhere, but the wavelength is something that ignores almost everything you are made of.

Fuck, fuck, fuck CA,'s FTB. They can fuck themselves with a butcher knife. They'll bill you for shit you don't owe.

My wife dissolved her business and she she still got a tax bill for fucking YEARS. She did everything, but it didn't stop until she called her old boss, a state legislator, who still had to have a face to face meeting with them (and he was not a nobody). We were lucky as fuck and had an ace to play, wtf is anyone else supposed to do?

Like WTF.

Note. DO NOT START A BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA. Be a contractor or pick another state, dear God.

This, so much. If a CEO makes a conscientious decision that makes stockholders less money, he gets fired. Stockholders sue companies over decisions that are considered less profitable.

And I don't mean people who invest their 401k's in mutual funds bullshit. I mean the activist multi millionaire assholes that own full percentage points of companies. These people are the ones that lobby companies and politicians and shape the legal and market landscape.

These fucking people have zero accountability to anyone.

And they convince themselves they have every right to be that way.

Moved to a new location. Options were Cox, who had 1Gbps+ service over coax or something like 30 Mbps with AT&T. For similar pricing. I hate both, but no shit I'm going with Xfinity. Keep asking AT&T if they are ever going to get fiber. Nope, nope, and nope. But they keep sending folks by, trying to sell shitty internet along with satellite tv.

Fast forward a few years. Ezee Fiber comes through, I drop Cox the second they can plug into my house.

Not two weeks later, AT&T comes knocking, "Hey, we've got fiber now, want to roll with us?"

Haha, fuck off. (I didn't say that, dude's just trying to make a paycheck, but I was thinking it when I politely said no thank you.)

People sure, but all the critters out there can see you juuuust fine.

Most of them don't want anything to do with you though, so that's ok.

But some of them... some of them are hungry...

Why is OP shaming sex education?

The lack of proper sex education and making kids feel embarrassed about themselves is one of the main reasons why we have so many issues about sexuality and awareness. Not to mention unwanted pregnancies and STI's.

Next he's going to say that Albert Speer deserved more leniency for testifying because his testimony made it easier to convict the others.

I mean sometimes. That is not always the case though. Take Chris Pratt for example, he was mentioned elsewhere in this post. He was dirt poor, working as a waiter when his antics impressed a producer who wanted to put him in front of a camera.

Then he got rich, mingles with other rich people and met Arnold's daughter. (After divorcing Anna Faris and becoming a born again).

I did not know this, this is a good one.

Some of the ones I remember, just because I'm old and involve some of my favorite movies.

Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life) is Drew Barrymore's Great Uncle.

Debbie Reynolds (Singin' in the Rain, God I love that movie) was Carrie Fisher's mom.

I think everyone knows Dakota Johnson's parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.

Shirley Maclaine (The Apartment and Two Mules for Sister Sara) is Warren Beatty's sister.

And some cool but not duo-celebrity relative facts.

Ewan McGregor's brother was a pilot in the RAF and his call sign was Obi-Two.

The awesome Bogart movie, To Have and Have Not ("Put your lips together and blow") was written by Hemingway and adapted into a screenplay by William Faulkner. Both considered in the top five of all time American authors. (Unless you think Steinbeck was better, then 6th (Which I don't)). Faulkner and Hemingway were not particularly fond of each other, but then I don't think there was a lot of love lost between Hemingway and his contemporaries.
