Well if you throw a party with 800 people surely someone will know how?

At the hospital, one of the nurses joked that whenever a fellow medical professional walked past a newborn they’d always ask for a hit of that new baby smell. Coke for the neonatal wing of the hospital.

I’d definitely recommend getting a credit report (not from the websites that advertise with an insane jingle, but from the actual credit bureaus — you’re entitled to a free report). Mine had debt from a relative with a similar name; I was able to get that removed. They will also tell you in more detail what goes in to calculating it.

I agree that it’s not perfect, and often very opaque, but you should be able to get some understanding of why she doesn’t have good credit.

…except that it used to be that your ability to secure a loan was based on where you went to school, how firm your handshake was, and if you happened to have the right skin color and sex organs.

The current system certainly isn’t perfect; and if you’re denied a loan you have a legal right (in the US) to know the reason.

There are systemic issues, to be sure. But the nominal goal is absolutely better than what we used to have.

Then there’s the pitcher plant that isn’t really carnivorous, but relies on excrement…it’s not so much a pitcher as a toilet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii

Vaguely similar, there’s a salad bar at the cafeteria I go to at work. I’m convinced that nothing looks as disgusting as someone else’s salad.

I think it’d be possible to create a replacement, assuming you’re a large company that ships your own browser (not naming names…). If you have enough market share/“killer apps” then it might be adopted (maybe?).

Now, ditching JS is a whole nother ballgame, and yeah, I don’t see that happening any time soon!

I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today’s standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn’t break a sweat.

Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that’s my preferred setup regardless of specs.

If they watch Formula 1, they probably know.

What do you put on potatoes? Ketchup. What color is ketchup? Red. What color are commies?

I rest my case.

IIRC there are vast differences between the states. My recollection is that there is a very strong red state/blue state correlation, which is absolutely shocking (/s, obviously).

According to the screenshot, it doesn’t even call her a trans woman, it calls her a man. Presumably because man and woman are the only options on her little TERF world.

Lots of games worked just fine on a 486…

Commander Keen and Lemmings should keep you busy for a few evenings at least.

That’s an unfair characterization.

It’s not just the things they don’t like that can’t happen…it’s also the things they do like that must happen! See, for instance, prayer in school. (Separation of Church and State only applies to satanic stuff or something, idk…)

You’re right — the first result I stumbled upon was the Simple wikipedia result which erroneously calls an epoch 1,000,000 years ( simple wiki link ).

Millenia is thousands, epoch “Mya” is million years ago.

But as my stat mech professor once said, “what’s a few orders of magnitude between friends?”

Edit: thanks to bisby, MBM.

Except a millennium millenia is a thousand years, not a million years.

65-145 epochs ago might be the correct wording?

“Mya” would be the correct term.

Edit: corrections from MBM, bisby.

Have you heard the joke about the SEO manager who walks into a bar pub saloon watering hole place to meet friends great cocktails beer on tap?

From TFA:

The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is now investigating the company’s new AI feature, too.

But no GIL if I’m not mistaken. Which means you can get some multi threaded tasks to run much faster without jumping through hoops.
