Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

That translated into martial arts is roughly the equivalent of a 4th DAN, but for that you need longer due to 'regulations regarding examinations', waiting periods between 2 examinations.

Depends on the martial art. The most modern practice recognizes natural talent while incorporating considerable traditional technique; I assure you, everyone does not walk into their first day of training on an equal basis -- I've been teaching for decades and I think I've seen about every level of beginner skill there is. Some people are simply gifted. Certainly from there on in we see the difference between the shows-up-once-a-week and the person who seems to be there every hour they can possibly manage.

Also, more on topic, I can definitely assure anyone who is curious that you're not doing high level thinking when executing advanced martial arts techniques.

All you really need to do to understand this is think about bike riding. When you learn, you learn, you think like crazy. Which does you very little good. But eventually, you internalize the process (that's what I call it, anyway) and you can do it while carrying on a conversation with someone else, paying almost no attention at all to the activity of riding the bike. Those near-instant balance corrections, the precise amount of handlebar control and lean for cornering, all of that comes from "underneath." Same thing for advanced MA.

That whole business about finding your calm center and holding it -- that's a real thing. If you start thinking under threat or pressure, your performance will drop like a stone. The best technique comes from a relaxed, centered condition, accepting of whatever comes.

It's about making the President and his party look bad to voters. There won't be any impeachment, only talk of impeachment.

Given the revelations from Snowden I see no reason to trust Google or any other large company. -Fixed that for you.

Is one curie the amount of radiation it took to kill Marie Curie?

No, the web site needs a developer with a bigger brain. Screens come in all sizes and aspect ratios, and any developer who doesn't realize that is an idiot.

I'm personally kicking back and waiting to see what the end game of this all is.

Is a pipepline going to be created? Massive desal plants powered by...who knows what? Mass exodus? Ghost towns? Agriculture prices skyrocketing leading to global food riots?

Interesting times indeed.

It was the only major variable that changed. My wife and I got a CSA and started eating a lot more veggies. The collards though just seemed like they had the most benefit. My suggestion is to use bacon fat as you make them. Make them as tasty as you can (brown sugar, onions, bacon fat...bacon itself gets soggy)....it won't effect the outcome.

Of course this is 100% anecdotal evidence, but it really can't hurt to try! I feel for you though, it really really blows, and the steroids come with their own problems. I've named my permanent floater buddies caused by the steroids Lenny and Squiggy.

I've had a few flare-ups of iritis (it really sucks) and I'd be afraid of it coming back due to the trauma associated with the surgery.

Interestingly enough I stopped having problems once I started eating more collard greens.

This would be good for performing measurements on objects you wouldn't want to get that close to. Like nuclear reactors.

"At this point, we are highly confident of being able to land successfully on a floating launch pad or back at the launch site and refly the rocket with no required refurbishment. However, our next couple launches are for very high velocity geostationary satellite missions, which don’t allow enough residual propellant for landing. In the longer term, missions like that will fly on Falcon Heavy, but until then Falcon 9 will need to fly in expendable mode."

Landing on a floating platform would be so crazy-awesome I can't even stand it! NASA should really stop wasting its time with its outdated SRB shiz.
