You’re nitpicking the headline while agreeing with the article.
“What is striking is that the uncool, mean standards of FOSS conduct that many of us have decried for years, and that many defended as authentic, tough, etc., ended up not just being exclusionary loser behavior, but a significant attack surface.”
I’m going to be a pedant and note that recorded history is only ~6k years old, for those parts of the world that had by then started writing shit down in non-perishable form (at the time, or at least before the spoken memories were lost forever). And much shorter for others, obv.
This question is difficult to frame accurately, but “events from BCE” might work, if you want examples that occurred multiple thousands of years ago.
If you are forced to use them:
That way, Amazon has to pay the search engine.
I must be missing some context because I have absolutely no idea what you’re on about.
Who wouldn’t tell who what and why does that matter?
People who spend 2 years on the ISS are generally very well paid for it. They’re not going to have any trouble covering their mortgage.
That is entirely different from having your ability to earn a living taken away by the state even while legally presumed innocent.
It fucks your whole life up even if you’re eventually found innocent.
I’m not a fan of carceral solutions but this is not something only abolitionists should care about. Remand (and also, short prison sentences) are viciously unfair, causing disproportionate harm which can never be compensated for.
Who is “they”? Who is the second “they”? Who is the we in “our”? What is the question?
Cuckoo Hourly Chime - A Clock App with Customizable Sounds and Speaking Time
Cuckoo Hourly Chime is an Android application developed by Dev Technosoft that functions as a clock app with customizable sounds and speaking time. The app is categorized under Lifestyle and is available for free.
This clock app offers a variety of features such as more than 10 inbuilt sounds that play every half and full hour, including the option to speak time with a custom title. Users can also choose the hours-only option, wake the screen to stop the chime, and stop the app from the notification bar.
My watch buzzes me if I haven’t stood up for an hour. Not what you’re looking for but the only other thing I can think of is an alarm app that you can set to snooze for half an hour as many times as you see fit. I would guess something like that might exist.
It’s a great thing to do when you’re young and child-free, or starting your retirement. Just don’t expect it to be cheaper than rent and do make sure you understand the basics of keeping your engine in good condition. It is your source of electricity, water, and sewerage. You cannot afford for it to break. Also brush up on your understanding of batteries because you’re going to be relying on them, a lot.
No, I was responding to your perfectly correct comment about the way we learn language, which is as little kids gradually working out the rules from exposure, not by being taught them.
We pick up on how language is used, not why it is used like that.
And that is exactly why some people with a condition like autism or epilepsy find attempts to rehumanise the language used to refer to them patronising or unhelpful. In my examples, “an epileptic” would be the dehumanising nounisation. And because of those attempts to rehumanise the language, people sometimes avoid the adjective too (in exactly the same way it’s happened with woman/female).
Of course. But understanding why calling women “females” is a big red flag is not about your intuitive grasp of the language. We dehumanise people by nounising their adjectives all the time. Are you epileptic, or an epileptic, or just a person with epilepsy?
It’s harder to explain to someone with a poor grasp of English grammar, that’s all. People who are fluent or near fluent because they grew up hearing and speaking a language will often struggle to explain something like this. People who had to learn the grammar consciously probably would not.
Only biologists and coppers need to use “female” as a noun. Everyone else can speak proper, like.
Maybe it’s only true of my aging generation but we never really encountered grammar until we were required to learn French.
Honestly, anyone who can speak a second language has a better grasp of what a noun and an adjective are than yer average English speaker. They’re just at risk of picking up colloquialisms from the manosphere, if they hang around in the wrong kinds of places.
She wanted your number for work purposes because phones are how we contact people in the modern era. There is absolutely no reason to think she is interested and absolutely no upside to thinking she is.
Do not make her working life difficult and do not get yourself on a disciplinary. Forget about it.
Stop turning this into something it is not. This is work. She is not interested in you, she’s just good at her job.
She’s senior to you. Stop turning this into a sackable offence, for one or both of you.
If you live somewhere where the 2 day shipping actually gets to you in 2 days
That’s not really true if you need a specific thing, or choice of thing, and not just a generic version of thing. And …
Often you can get products right from the website of actual brands for the same price. You might not get 2 day shipping, but that’s almost never necessary. If you live somewhere where the 2 day shipping actually
… often you spend a hours finding an item somewhere else and when you go to checkout, they redirect you to their Amazon store.
I fully support efforts to boycott Amazon. But, sad to say, sometimes it’s not really feasible.
The word was coined as satire. Brain-dead liberals centrists took it seriously and, here we are.
I have been sadly disappointed by my 1958 book, The Rise of the Meritocracy. I coined a word which has gone into general circulation, especially in the United States, and most recently found a prominent place in the speeches of Mr Blair.
The book was a satire meant to be a warning (which needless to say has not been heeded) against what might happen to Britain between 1958 and the imagined final revolt against the meritocracy in 2033.
Edited because too many people don’t know what liberal means.
I don’t know which jurisdiction you’re in but, while it isn’t illegal in the UK, you’re absolutely right about it being a bad idea and you are correct about the reason. In the event of a crash, it could count against you (in the UK, at least).
