Yeah, I had to go to court about ten years ago, and there were a lot of uncontested divorce hearings. They took about a minute each. The most interesting one was where one party had to attend by phone, because at least that meant needing to set up the phone call and a notary in another state who obviously wasn't as familiar with my state's divorce laws as the judge.

You’ve spent years buying goods and possibly property with another person. Now you are splitting and those goods and property need to be divided. How do you divide it? And what if the other person wants more than you think they should get? Together you bought all your furniture and you both REALLY want to keep the living room set you bought together. That’s why it’s complicated.

And good divorce attorneys cost a lot because they are good at arguing why their client should be entitled to more for a wide variety of reasons, and end up getting their clients more than they would have without them.

Locks are strong against an unskilled opponent. But if you give your friend a locked box to use, you have to provide them with a way to get the key at some point so they can open it.

If you sell these boxes to millions of people, someone you sell it to is going to have some skill and know how to copy or modify a key, and then start giving keys out to other people do that they can also open the boxes, even unauthorized ones.

Divorce laws can be complex, and what they say can often seem unfair to one party or other, especially from within the emotional heat of a broken relationship. Some things that can seem unfair, but really aren't:

• "Wait, they get the kids, AND I have to pay them? I want my kids!". Child support payments are payments to support the child - it is fair that they go to the parent who the child lives with more, and it is fair that they come from the parent who earned more - though this can certainly seem unfair.
• "I earned that money! Why should they get a share?" The law regards married people as equal partners in a relationship. If one partner quits work to look after the kids, and that means the other can focus on their career, then it is perfectly fair to share the finances equally - or even force the earning partner to provide spousal support while the non-working partner tries the difficult task of getting back into the workforce after a 15 year break - though this can certainly seem unfair.

Divorces are more expensive, and take more lawyer time, when the parties disagree. Since their marriage just broke down, they often are not in the mood to agree on anything much. There'll be a lot of anger and hurt. In the end, both parties will have to agree on something that feels satisfactory to neither, and it can take time to accept that and let the lawyers just do their job. If one partner rants for half an hour to their lawyer about how bad and unreasonable the other partner is, there's no reason the lawyer should not be paid for that time, but yes, it is a waste of money.

If they come before the court and say "here's what we've agreed," that's a lot cheaper than paying a judge, bailiff and both legal teams for the time to argue why the house should be divided 40/60 instead of 50/50. But agreeing beforehand on a painful (for both parties) compromise can be difficult.

There were a number of years in my youth where Vodka smelled like straight up vomit to me, and I know it was entirely psychological.

Speaking from my personal experience, one reason is that one party can unilaterally make it complicated by not working in good faith to get it finished. That often results in imbalanced outcomes because the other party either gives in or runs out of money for legal fees.

It's just inheretly complicated to seperate the financial life of two people again. You owned everything together, and now suddenly you have to decide who gets what.

And they are often one-sided because at marriage you signed that you'd care for your partner financially. If you break up then that duty doesn't immediately stop. Maybe one partner stopped their career to care for mutual kids and is now has financially much worse prospects than if they never had married.

Sounds like you'll have to avoid the entire country of Belgium for the rest of your life.

There's not really something that separates acquired tastes from non acquired tastes. There's foods or drinks that are almost universally loved that some people just don't like. It mostly has to do with a diversified palate. If you eat something that's very different from everything else you've ever tasted, chances are you won't like it the first time. It's why we "acquire tastes" as we grow older.

not a bomb. It's a powder form of purified uranium ,after being mined & extracted but before being refined further into fuel or enriched

Spinning it keeps the loop open and maintaining the same orientation. If someone didn't spin a lasso it would just be a limp rope. If the loop isn't open it can't catch anything since the target has to pass through the loop

Yes they are standardized and default ports. However many a times things aren't run on default ports.

Most of the standardized ports are below 1024. These are called privileged ports and only an Administrator can open them. This is additional security to make sure that a malicious user for example cannot run a webserver on port 80 to hack users.

Grew up on a ranch and this is more or less correct. There is also the fact that most times we do what’s called “feeding” the rope. To be efficient, you start with a small loop and as you swing you let more rope into the loop until it has a nice even weight to it before throwing. Some people can do this in one full swing before throwing.

*I say MOST and not all because there are things like endometriosis, hypothyroidism, and PCOS that affect women’s periods. Just wanted to make that clear

Short answer, no.. As a woman in her 30’s, I’ve only recently found out this year that (most, not all) heavy/painful periods are due to the lining not fully expelling itself from the previous period. The blood has congealed and has a harder time getting out. This is why yoni steaming (basically hot tea steam for your vagina) is incredibly beneficial. It loosens up the mucus/old blood and allows for everything to come out during your next cycle. This is based off my second hand knowledge from a doula, so I hope my explanation is useful.

Also- to add on to what a few other people said about their flows and pregnancies.- I have a light flow and was INCREDIBLY sick almost my entire pregnancy. Birth was really rough. That’s due to hormones though. I’m pregnant right now, and although I’m not as sick as the first time, I still feel nauseous all day long. The first one was a girl, I think this one will be a boy since the hormones are so different. Shrug Every body is different. Everyone’s hormones are different. The lining doesn’t have anything to do with an “easier” pregnancy.

When I was 18 months old I was given some turkey that I ended up getting food poisoning from. It was so bad I was throwing up bile and they had to take me to the ER. I don’t remember it thank god.

It took me years to be able to eat turkey again. Even at 32 I’m still cautious when it comes to lunch meat and poultry, and I’m pretty sure that I have some degree of emetophobia from the situation.

To be fair to your brain, alcohol is a bad poison.

And the Houlihan loop is easy to throw without spinning for catching horses in a corral

I was given fish sticks as a kid, wasn't told what they were. My house never ate fish, so it definitely had to be fucked up poison chicken tenders.

It took 30 years and marrying into a very fish eating culture to learn to like the taste.

Yes it literally does. You spin the lasso because you're in a rodeo and it's a show.
