My GUESS, and I have no knowledge of this, but my guess is using oil to generate steam is less efficient than simply running a diesel engine.
Oil -> Steam -> Drives Engine
Diesel -> Drives Engine
No point, whatever post you make will be removed and the account banned.
For the non-Americans out there… you do have to fill out a form and answer some questions:
a. Are you the actual transferee/buyer of all of the firearm(s) listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s) (ATF Form 5300.9A)? Warning: You are not the actual transferee/buyer if you are acquiring any of the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual transferee/buyer, the licensee cannot transfer any of the firearm(s) to you. Exception: If you are only picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 21.a. and may proceed to question 21.b.
b. Do you intend to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s) in furtherance of any felony or other offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year, a Federal crime of terrorism, or a drug trafficking offense?
c. Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year, or are you a current member of the military who has been charged with violation(s) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and whose charge(s) have been referred to a general court-martial?

That makes sense then!
I mean, the Marvel stuff has all been gigantic and proves you don’t need sex scenes. In fact, the one Marvel movie with a sex scene (Eternals) did the worst.
This came up, I want to say last year? In regards to movies and TV shows as well.

I knew a parrot once who would bite the shit out of you and then LAUGH!
I kinda want to surprise her for when we get grand kids. :)
My daughter in law is from Myanmar so I really should learn Burmese one of these days, unfortunately I’m not finding a lot of local resources on that language. :(

Stealing as a compulsion is a psychological issue it’s nothing to feel bad about as you have no control over it, just a) do the best you can to NOT do that and b) as a college student, you should have assistance available to you to help out. It might be worth talking to a counsellor about it or see of the school offers psych services.
Failing that, in the US, under Obamacare, you’re covered under your parents health insurance until you turn 26, it would be worth seeing what services are available there.
I thought Sony had a contract to make physical releases of the Disney material.

Prior to this, Portland Police were caught actively coordinating with Patriot Prayer / Proud Boys:
I’d think the only way they’d rule against him would be to say “Interpreting the Constitution is our job, not yours.” But then they’d maintain the interpretation under their branding.
As a rule, we don’t handle the unexpected well. When my grandfather died from lung cancer, it was a long, protracted ordeal involving hospice care. Everyone was prepared, nobody was surprised.
When my dad died from a massive heart attack in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, a month after retiring, it was a shock, nobody saw it coming. He didn’t make it long enough for the life flight helicopter to get there. Reportedly his last words were “Oh no.”
It’s one thing to plan for a death, it’s another to be slapped in the head with one.
