When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they're neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That's what causes the movement. If the weight didn't change there would be no movement.

From TFA “The pair of you came within the thickness of a pane of glass of irreparably damaging or even destroying this priceless treasure, and that must be reflected in the sentences I pass.”

Sooooo fucking close...

Apparently it's not just an American thing, but maybe other countries have more sense not to do it anymore.

They're usually in "high end" restaurants in big cities like Las Vegas. The ones I recall usually have the sinks somewhat separated from the stalls with a partition or turn, but they're not wholly separate rooms. The motivations are probably more needing money, access to a fancy place, and being an extrovert than perversion - more windshield wiper gig than peeping Tom.

I think it's a combination of a holdover from another time that maybe was useful when they had an expanded role - they probably actually used to keep the bathroom clean, and some guys will shine shoes etc. - and tip-based service jobs they gave to poor people. I think they do get an hourly rate, but it's probably below minimum wage for the same reasons waiting tables is.

Bathroom attendants - since people got all the high value stuff.

I don't mean people that clean the bathroom etc.

I mean the guy that stands at the sink and makes awkward small talk before handing you a towel you could have got yourself and expects a tip.

EDIT: Y'all I'm pretty sure no one's having sex or shooting up in the bathroom at the fucking Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas ... Coke - probably. I don't know where anyone else has seen a bathroom attendant, but every place I've seen one at I've been wearing a suit...

You should probably look up what evangelical actually means then: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelism

It requires proselytizing.

Outdoors are generally not protected by right to privacy, even if on private property.

Someone standing in their own front lawn can be recorded with both video and audio without their consent.

This is what makes it legal to record police.

The problem isn't just that it will be thrown out in court, it's that it itself is illegal.

Which doesn't necessarily mean don't do it but you're limited in how you can reveal how you know things are being stolen etc.

Most countries don't have more than one shooting a day.

Some Bernie people even went to Trump for the "drain the swamp" lie.

It doesn't help that the Clinton campaign intentionally lent credence to Trump thinking he'd be a slam dunk compared to any of the half-sane Republicans in the primaries.
