My 18-year-old has a couple of health issues, and I’m just dreading the day it starts to get worse. Sending love for you and Bear!
Estuans interius, ira vehementi, Sephiroth!
Das ist auf Deutsch, nicht var?
They do have courses, but there’s also a lot of good quizzes to evaluate your critical thinking skills at ClearerThinking.org
I don’t like porn. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it’s…okay, I guess? But I’m aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn’t do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.
Unless it was a GameCube disc, in which case backwards would have been correct, because up is down.
I remember it for Pokemon, but also for those Zelda games that were a pair - Oracle of Ages/Seasons? But I don’t think it let you do much, just continue a game save when you finished one of the two games.
I feel like important context is that they were kids of the manager. That changes this from a bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation to something else: a bad parenting/child abuse, bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation.
Space is hard. You’re strapping something inside a big tube with basically directed explosives at the bottom, hoping it survives the trip, then subjecting it to constant radiation, huge temperature swings, and other brutal environmental factors like micrometeoroids. Just because we’ve been sending satellites and people up to space for nearly 70 years doesn’t mean it’s gotten easier; we’re just better at knowing what to expect so we can test for it. Failures in rockets or satellites or even manned spacecraft are going to happen as much as we work to prevent them.
It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?
Animorphs is a fun kid’s series about changing into animals and fighting aliens! Also the brutalities and hard decisions of war, the terrible consequences of pacifism, and all the kids get PTSD from the awful battles they fight and the atrocities they’re forced to commit. Also Area 51 has an alien toilet!
I read this, moved on, then came back like 3 minutes later to upvote. Slow brain but great joke.
A 2021 survey of 44 gender nonconforming people incarcerated in New York state prisons found that three-quarters had experienced some form of sexual assault or inappropriate touching by corrections officers. Over a quarter reported being forced by an officer to perform oral sex.>
What the fuck? I wondered what the number is for cis people. Best I could find was a report from 2020 that said the total rate of sexual misconduct/harassment by staff was 12.3 per 1000 (1.23%). Versus, with a low sample size, 75% in the article’s survey. What. The. Fuck.
True story: I traveled to Germany, Austria, and The Netherlands about 10 years ago with a friend on vacation. Before we arrived in Amsterdam, I warned him that some people thought that Dutch sounded silly, and he shouldn’t laugh if it sounded like gibberish. I believe I used the phrase “like the Swedish chef from the Muppets.”
We got on a bus from the train station. He heard the locals talking on the bus, and immediately burst out laughing, eliciting irritated looks from the other passengers. He continued giggling whenever anybody talked for the next 20 minutes until our stop, while I stood there embarrassed. On the walk to our Airbnb, we mercilessly mocked the Dutch language, as it is basically German with more vowels and a bunch of Vs and Js thrown in for no reason.
