Or if you’re Jaromir Jagr:

“I’m an unmarried athlete in my 40s, if you want to give the world proof that I’m still pulling hot 20-somethings, do it.”

Usually there’s pretty instant and severe consequences if it’s one of YOUR students, but if they’re not in your class it’s just “legal but creepy age difference”.

True, but when measuring by volume it IS important to be clear about whether you’re using coarse or fine salt. The distinction is not important if you measure ingredients by mass like a civilized person.

The topic was “White House Correspondents Dinner” and was planned way ahead of time. The reporters were just quick to adapt to the real story of the dinner.

It’s not that they keep a list of who was employed under NDA, it’s that [the fact that you worked here] isn’t what’s actually under NDA, it’s the actual project you were a part of.

NDAs just aren’t the blanket defense people think they are.

NDAs are almost never all-encompassing. It may not even be legal. Usually an NDA is something like “I worked for [defense contractor] for three years as a mechanical engineer. I can’t tell you about the projects I worked on, but I can elaborate on my responsibilities.”

Sand walls can collapse suddenly, especially when water levels change (like, with the tide). If you make too deep of a hole, you can find yourself buried with little warning. Knee-deep is a good height that even if it does collapse in you, you’ll still be able too get yourself out. Hip-deep, you might end up stuck as the wet sand keeps filling up as fast as you can dig it out.

Nature is healing

As already mentioned, Ubuntu/PopOS/Kubuntu/Mint are maybe the four most identical distros in the entire ecosystem. But your point really does hold true even with less-identical distros.

Currently, I have an Ubuntu Server, an Arch PC, and an old laptop “test machine” running Fedora. These are totally different limbs of the Linux family tree, but things pretty much work the same in all of them. The main difference is the package manager: Apt vs Pacman vs DNF. But like, they’re all doing basically the same thing under the hood: checking your installed software against some repository to see if anything needs an update. The actual workflow is pretty much the same with any of them.

After that it’s pretty much just a question of downloading the desktop environment and software you like. Or finding a distro that comes pre-installed with what you want. To make a gaming analogy: linux distros are like Dark Souls classes: starting stats and equipment, but the starting point doesn’t lock you into your you build in the future.

NixOS is a different beast for sure.

Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan may not agree with that thesis.

The one thing that upset me watching the Artemis II mission broadcast was the constant use of imperial units.

NASA uses metric units internally. They had to intentionally translate than back into imperial units for the livestream. Please, folks. Use the better units.

Economy tickets and hostels also cost money.

“Ceasefires are always good news. Especially if they lead to a just and lasting peace. But this momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”

Thomas and Alito? They’re the most blatant bribe-takers of the bunch

Edit: read the article, he didn’t specify but yeah probably them.

My preferred version:

Further left of leftists than leftists are is liberals, supposedly.

Some bullshit term invented to sow further division amongst the political left, most likely.

That’s not what she said.

She specifically said that arriving at a ceasefire deal does not change the fact that he started and effectively lost a war for no reason.

I mean, the earliest known currency is almost exactly as old as the earliest known cities. Farmers would deposit a large amount of grain at the local temple (which were effectively the tax collection sites of the time) and were given clay tokens on exchange, which could be used in place of actual goods at tax time.

This system was set up because of the nature of farming: you make a lot of product in a short time, but most of the year you’re just waiting for your crop to grow. These tokens allowed farmers to pay their tax duties up front, and then have physical proof that they’d done so when paying taxes outside of harvest season. But it was only a matter of time before people started trading those tokens amongst each other. “Give me a goat and I’ll give you these tokens so you don’t have to pay tribute next season.”

Before that, villages were pretty much just hand-to mouth communities of just a few families. Surviving, sure, but not in the kind of complex society where one needs to draw equivalence between extremely different forms of labor.

Also, lsd lasts a LONG time, and it’s easier to find a whole day to fuck off into space when you’re younger. I’ve got a kid, I can’t get 12 minutes of free time at once, let alone 12 hours.
