The three examples weren’t interested in being liked. The Buddha wanted to become one with the universe; Jesus wanted to speak inconvenient truths to the rulers to force them to kill him.

But your point still stands; try to be in harmony with others but never try to make them like you.

If you live in one of the few jurisdictions where looking at your phone is legal while driving, get a dash mount for it, because touching your phone while driving is likely still illegal.

And make sure the dash mount is positioned where the phone doesn’t obstruct your view of the outside, but is as close to the hood horizon as possible.

That depends entirely on your job and your mistake.

I’m pretty sure everyone knows where Bill Cosby went wrong.

1.5kg of liquid water (which is non compressible) has a mass of 1.5kg (and equivalent weight in newtons at STP).

Coca Cola is water plus syrup (which will be somewhat compressible and potentially less dense) plus carbon dioxide.

If you let the CO2 settle out, you will likely have around 1.3 litres of sugar water left.

Yup. I had a few run-ins with pre-disgruntled delivery drivers who messed with my food years ago. First step was to report the driver. Second was to stop using the service. Then I realized that almost all delivery services are taking advantage of the drivers and I stopped ordering delivery altogether.

Then again, I can make better food faster for cheaper, so unless it’s a catering situation, I’m not going to be ordering food delivered anymore anyway, now that I’ve broken the habit.

It is. Your employer should be paying you a fair wage.

If it helps at all, I no longer get delivery at all, although I can afford it, because I can’t conscionably support the employers that don’t pay their employees a fair wage.

The short answer is: because it doesn’t need that host to survive.

Viruses are trying to replicate as quickly as possible using host cells. A virus that spreads easily and quickly can kill its hosts as long as it has had a chance to reproduce and infect another organism first.

The ones that don’t succeed in doing this die out.

Yikes!

Looks like you need a strip of drywall and a run of weather stripping attached to that. Then you need some foam core to drop into the aluminum slots in the door — this helps a LOT to prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Last thing if you don’t have it is weather stripping down the sides of the opening.
