You sound like a guy who knows which part of a warplane to reinforce.

For the confused, bells peal. Labels peel.
I think the cleanliness of the blade would be less relevant than the massive infection pouring from your pierced guts into the wound.
And even better, it’s totally legal to pay a prisoner less than minimum wage for whatever labor they contribute.
If we give these knuckleheads a bit more time they’ll reinvent variolation 500 years late.
when “free water” counted as retail innovation
So the last time was chloroplasts, right? And that worked out super well for all the other organisms and didn’t do anything catastrophic to the atmosphere, right?
It depends on where you are. Public consumption laws are local.
There isn’t near the kind of cultural narrative about stepfathers that there is about stepmothers, especially in media for kids. Kids absorb ideas from the fairy tales they see and hear. Stepmoms have to deal with tropes from “Cinderella” to “My Stepmom is An Alien”. Kids will then carry those notions, amorphous and unexamined, into their new relationship. Kids usually don’t have the capacity to recognize those kind of prejudices in themselves. So now the new stepmom has to deal with the kid’s indignance at a fictional character. But aside from the Dursleys in Harry Potter, I’m hard pressed to recall a wicked stepfather.
Then there’s the puritanical thread, and I’m a dude so I don’t even know what else is lurking in our culture that wants to take a piece out of a stepmom for being the second lady in the family.
Not to reduce what a genuinely good dad has to do, step or otherwise. But if a dad manages to use words to explain something calmly, that’s enough to get kudos from strangers on the street. I don’t think the ladies have the benefit of the same uncomplicated expectations, so they need specialized guidance.
What exactly are you looking for in advice? How to deal with the ex and their branch? How to deal with specific behaviors from the kids? You’ll probably do better to search at the level of those topics than the role of stepdad in general.
I’d suggest going for “How to talk so that kids will listen and listen so kids will talk” series. To be a good step-parent, you need to be a good parent.
Well that’s after the book was mistranslated through version after version.
Utah has an accurate translation that their prophet found by looking into his hat.
Over surprised guy.

No need to cook it perfectly, just sufficiently. Nobody lets me grill the chicken because mine is good and sterile all the way through. It’s also dry, so a ways past “perfect”. But I also know how to make gravy, so it’s all good.
The ideas were mostly neat but I just couldn’t abide the plot being driven by absurdly stupid actions over and over.
I can’t tell you what dude was trying to say, on account of not being a mind reader.
But each of them were jailed for acts against the states that imprisoned them (one espionage, one enemy combatant). That is the relevant point of comparability: treatment of a foreign enemy.
The pictures show the contrast in how those states treat their prisoners. One leaves their prisoner healthy, and the other leaves theirs starved.
The point couldn’t be clearer.
