Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn't known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

It would take away a lot of the zing... But it's cooking, you do you!

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

You never know when your last pole or last win was your last pole or last win. LH was justifiably emotional after this year.

But other than the first quali, he was pretty awful all season wasn't he? He wasn't winning and pushing for championship lead then turning into an disaster. It was hard to watch though.

I'm struggling to think of a driver who has absolutely collapsed like Checo in the same season. He is straight up not having a good time.

Ukraine MOD has a program in place that databases every cluster munition fire mission. Demining eastern Ukraine is going to be a years long effort. Any unexpended ordinance will go into that effort. Countries that gave up cluster munitions have had their rose tinted glasses on too long and assumed war would be limited to foreign battlefields and not their back yards.

Well, you could have bought the 3DO like me. Three times more expensive, infinitely worse games. Although Gex was a pretty great platformer.

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don't spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

No. If it's sticking you're generally cooking too cool. Fast sear followed by a slower roast.

Oh, right. So assuming divorce is the second outcome of the pregnancy the man isn't on the hook for someone else's child? That's definitely the reasonable take.

[-] meteotsunami@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn't a man's progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife's infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.

Towards your actual question, in the US it's not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.

Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can't have an abortion like the woman if she doesn't want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.
