This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn’t exponentially better in every way I’d go back to nights in a heartbeat.

The real pro tip is always in the comments

I haven’t seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn’t just affecting education, unfortunately. There’s a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they’d like to revert.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

looks like the recipe is here

edit: or not. the image matches but, after actually paying attention to the recipe, I’m not sure that sounds right.

Morse code (a.k.a. continuous wave/CW) is really great for low power operating (QRP) and a signal can break through a lot more than voice (SSB) can. CW only radios can also be tiny and are valued by hams who enjoy portable operating and there are programs/events that promote just that. It can also be a lower cost way to get into a potentially expensive hobby. Also, it’s just fun to copy the code sometimes.

I suspect they won’t need to rationalize it, unfortunately. This will be justification for them to use their weapons.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn’t have gone looking for it and it was definitely worth watching.

The emotional roller-coaster in this game is definitely real.

Please be aware of local native plant populations when using this concept. In much of the US some species of willow and buckthorn are invasive, can out-compete native plants, and can result in a drastic reduction in local biodiversity. I recommend Doug Tallamy’s books Bringing Nature Home and The Nature of Oaks for anyone interested in native plant info. The writing is targeted at the US, but they’re easy reads and have a lot of good info.

If you’re here to tell me energy drink body spray is a bad idea, I’ve heard it before, from a bank and some doctors.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

^^^ This is the one I recognize. There’s just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it’s got southsamurai’s name above it

Do you have any preferred sources for learning more about Umberto eco’s 14 points of fascism?

I have a pair originally purchased for running but they’ve turned out to be useful in numerous situations where I wanted to listen to something without losing awareness of my surroundings.

Can confirm. The creator of Exploding Kittens is Matthew Inman, the artist behind The Oatmeal

I’m not any defender of corporations, by any means, but I’m not sure that I’m willing to take the word of a “close family friend” who “needed help one day” any more than some corporate HR; and “I don’t care what they say, I know that Mitch didn’t do that” isn’t exactly a solid argument to be basing things on.

Edit: I seem to have missed this on my first read:

Jennifer said she thinks somebody “didn’t like what he had to say” and wanted to “shut him up” without it coming back to anyone"…“That’s why they made it look like a suicide,”

I’m never surprised to hear something bad about Boeing, but this is just a woman convinced with, on the face of it, no other proof than what’s in her own head. Unless she’s got a recording or document, the article’s title could have been, “Family friend tells reporter a story”

That strikes me as a “Sorry, not sorry” kind of response.

This is an evangelical organization so that’s probably all you’re going to get. They have an entire culture built around perceived persecution so, even when they’re forced to apologize for something, they’re going to think they’re the victims of the scenario.

edit: I guess I shouldn’t make such sweeping generalizations. my opinion is based off my couple of decades as an evangelical and another couple watching my family continue with it
