Comment Human's pair up but don't stay monogamous. (Score 1) 102

why would they research some other animals when there are plenty of humans available to do direct research on. I am sure lots of people would volunteer. Does this even need to be researched? Human are not monogamous, they do like to pair up and that is probably to raise the offspring

Instead of taking the 405, he should continue south until he reaches Palisades park. And he should be pulling a Jetski or a motorized kayak. Jump into the ocean, and come out at Dockweiler beach state park. Have another car waiting for him there, and then take Imperial hwy which converts into 105.

Easy, Your aquientaces didn't do any research is their fault. There is this one form called Adjustment of status that you can use to stay in USA when you marry a citizen. If that does not work legally divorce and have the person leave the country and apply for a fiance visa Then you can marry and do the adjustment again. To bring a family member, friend or whoever as a visitor a citizen resident you need to fill out an affidavit of support I have even brought people from cuba this way to come and visit me. Bringing Cuban visitors is good, they are legally allowed to bring cigars and rum. I am not a lawyer but all the information is in the goverment site and all it requires is some reading.

I can't hear the difference, but is weird I get different feelings. Maybe just because you cannot hear does not mean exactly you will not feel it. Bethoven was deaf and he used to lie on top of his piano so he could feel it. Get a high quality sample of an explosion and encode them at different levels and I bet you will feel the difference.

I am such outdoors person, and mostly near, in or on the water. I only use mechanical watches for diving since they have to be open less the integrity is better. But this is a choice I am more comfortable with them plus a watch is also fashionable and is the only piece of jewelry I wear. And just because they're old fashion does not mean they're not complicated. I got watches with slide rule that allows me to do calculations way faster than a calculator since I just quickly rotate the bezel. You can also use your watch to check you pulse just put some pressure on one of your veins and look at your watch and count, and not only you will see it but also feel it. You can also use your watch to find out where north is, this is an old boyscout trick. I sail many times a year to Revillagigedo islands, Clipperton Island or halfway to hawaii for fishing and I am not dumb to rely on any of those digital gadgets. I always keep an analogue chronometer running while moving. I can confidently say that I had to rely on digital gadgetry I would be dead sine I had them fail on me more than once. Salt munches on circuit boards.

Yes, lots of people still wear watches. smart phones are just smart pocket watches now days. But to check the time a wrist watch is faster. I prefer analogue mechanical watches, that way I do not have to worry about batteries since I have so many. I do have a digital watch is though solar pathfinder by casio that I use when I go hiking to keep track of the altitude changes and to predict the weather. And in my opinion Analogue is better starting a coutdown just requires a quick rotate of the bezel. I also have a watch that has a slide ruler I rotate it and can do complex calculations really quick. I also use a analogue mechanical watch to keep time when I go diving. And the best feature is that a good watch can get you laid.

Depends where you go to school. In Mexico 6 continents. They ignore Antartica sometimes they will say 5 Then I moved to finland, and they count 6. From there we went to czech republic also 6 continents. Then highschool 10th grade in USA they counted 7 continents. I also noticed that refering to a USAian as american is mostly an anglophone thing. While traveling through Europe I could say I am an Amererican, and they knew I was not referring to USA. And it probably was because I do not have a north american english accent or I could speak the local language. And canadians they're are americans they just hate getting confused with their southern neighbour. Even if you say they're From North America they still end up being americans from the north. I took some english classes, studied 1 year in USA and here is how I interpret the name United States of America with my limited english. the key is in the word "OF" a proposition I believe. It says the These united states belong to america. It does not say They are America. Is like saying "the united union of kentucky", "the sons of Carl", "the many cars of Mike" For the name to actually mean the name of the country is America it would have to say it something like this. United American States. Now this would imply they are american and not just belong to. Funny thing is 99% of USAians don't know where the name come from. When you ask they usually end up saying it means freedom or something like that.
