What happened to the slice at 4 o’clock?

Shoes are sized for socks.

A tablet is a pad of paper that’s glued on one edge. You can flip the sheets or tear them out. The full name for a binder is a “loose leaf binder”. Because it’s designed to bind…loose sheets!

I’d be interested in this too. I’m a bit away from the next vehicle but I was already considering going vintage for physical controls, an honest to god non-electronic mirror, and no surveillance.

Desert wasn’t really a cyberpunk setting until BR 2049. Post-apocolyptic sure, MadMax had that stitched up in 1979, but not cyberpunk.

I am struggling with “fair” here. I’m pretty well paid for the public sector, but the private sector would offer a 50%+ increase with a noticable loss of stability. So I don’t know. I do think they should have promoted me years ago though .

It’s voter suppression. By limiting the number of voting locations and understanding them you make long lines where people will wait for hours to vote. By not allowing food or water to be handed out they hope people will get discouraged and leave the line. The official reason is that it could be construed as a bribe to vote a certain way.

Pick lots of ballise fruit in White Orchard. It is tougher to find later on.

Just bewilderment. Because snubbing Harris will get you Trump. Who’s a great friend to Gaza /s. So cui bono?

I have given up on “steep learning curve”. A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.

We don’t have any contact with candidates after the interview apart from a firm rejection. I’d love to provide feedback and advice to people but legal won’t let us.

Lol. Check out Denmark. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_law

Social diffusion is an explanation of how information spreads, not just names.

My understanding is that unique names and neologism have long been a feature of African-American culture where North American Caucasians followed a family naming tradition. I think what has happened is some celebrities have moved towards a unique name scheme. But it feels like a mainstreaming of AA culture more than anything.

The impetus has been there in Europe. Many nations have/had very restrictive rules about names. They’d only have rules against it if people were trying to do it. I had Swiss friends who were very excited that their daughter was born in Canada so they could name her “Sora” which wasn’t in the approved name list in Switzerland.

Platypus. So goofy looking on one hand. Poisonous spurs on the other.

SHUTUP! ~it might hear.~

Because their continued employment depends on them hitting their targets so they need support staff to do their jobs.

I was married to a lawyer for years. They have to bill somewhere from 1700-2200 hours a year to stay on partner track. And they can’t bill every hour that they’re working (although they can double up sometimes by using the minimum 2/10ths of an hour). My sympathy is with the lawyer. It’s not a power dynamic, it’s how the firm makes money and what you’re there to do.

I’m not sure you can. I can see Sigma Aldrich selling it by the kilogram for research use. I’m not sure there is an approved human formulation. If it’s because of that gut paper lactulose is pretty easily available.

Waiting for those fuckers to retire? You bet.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, But names can never hurt me.
