I know Phones dont listen but....

Other folks in the area searched it, and bluetooth nearby as well as wifi tracking put them all in the same place. Same as old mate with the Spanish comment, he was hanging around in an area with folks who regularly look at stuff in Spanish.

What you think might be spontaneous isn't.

Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?

Once female speaking time reaches 30% or more, males believe that the females are dominating the speaking time.

Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

Essentially the general male population don't like females, and only tolerate them as a subservient subclass who should be seen and not heard.

EDIT: This should probably annoy you a little too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2qCjL6-n4

And it may also explain why people complain that there should only ever be one female character - it minimises the chances of males having to watch two females interact, because that would be excluding the male experience and they couldn't possibly relate to two females interacting.

EDIT2: comments in that video do claim there are more scenes... whether or not that really adds much is up to you.

Looks like a filament runout sensor, and there is a tiny tiny little bit of extra filament sticking out the top right. If the print had needed a little bit more filament, it would have pulled through the sensor and the machine would have reported it had run out of filament and paused the print.

Essentially flying really fucking close to the sun and somehow making it by the skin of their teeth.

The instructors advise you to speak aloud your actions as you do them. Also helps if you have already levelled out instructions to the rent a crowd to perform specific tasks like send for help and get the defib and you three who said yes to cpr training let's line up and take turns doing cpr.

...of course, the training to be comfortable giving these instructions is not really done.

What's the differencr between UV resin used for crafts, the one used in 3d printers, the one used in nails and the one used in our teeth by dentists?

Dental stuff has been tested to ensure they're biocompatible, but we still warn team members not to touch unset product even with gloved hands too much. Dentists who have a habit of wiping excess resin on the back of their gloved hands have developed contact dermatitis. Once fully cured, it is unreactive.

Fingernails are pretty inert, so it's not as important. They're still tested to ensure they're not poisonous if ingested, as folks have a tendency to bite their nails.

Exposure time, vapours, biocompatibility, volume - all of these add up to make 3d resin printing pretty hazardous. Even dental 3d printing resins require this level of safe handling, until they're fully cured.
