I mean, he is wrong about there not being things in place to protect prisoners, but he's not wrong that it's still dangerous and the conditions aren't great. Guards have killed inmates before with no real consequences.
I don't have a source for it, but I recall hearing that yes, their eyes work at a different speed than ours, and that's part of why cats and dogs are generally not so interested in TV. Unfortunately I don't know what search terms might be useful here since I don't know if this has a technical name, but something like "refresh rate" or "fps" might help in the search.
Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.
If only. If only self scan was the only way this came up in my life I would be so much happier.
God, this photo. It always makes me think someone attached the wrong size face.
I'll offer another potential reason why this poor guy is shaved; if he's got a condition that needs a topical cream or medicated shampoo or similar, then this guarantees the stuff gets right to the skin, where it's needed. His skin looks fine, but you never can tell with fleas. * tiny rimshot *
You're probably right. It's not something I thought about in the moment since I was so insulted by the astroturfing and I'm not a fast enough typer to give them all my thoughts anyway. I mean, I didn't even get to call them on real money meaning real reviews. If you believe that, I've got a (real) bridge to sell you!
Not sure if this is the best place for it, but here we are. The Indeed listing is already gone, so I can't refresh my memory, but they'd made it sound more like a customer service role. The grammar was a bit of a red flag, but I thought it could have been second language issues, so let's see where this goes. Thanks for wasting my time, guys! And apparently the time of around sixty other people if Indeed is accurate about that. I can still report your job posting even though it's gone, though, so that makes me feel a little better.
"Jews were already genocided once" Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.
(/s, in case that wasn't clear)
Yes, that is the point, Tesla.
I listened to a podcast episode about this, I believe it was 99% Invisible. The female dummies that have been used in the past are basically just scaled down males. That's not exactly ideal.
My favourite is the one with an extra filter in the middle.
I don't think you understand what makes for good entertainment. Hint: you tend to need a conflict in a story. I wonder if "controversial shit" might be a place to find interesting conflict for your stories?
Also inclusion is not the same thing as pushing an agenda. Gay people are just people. They're allowed to exist in a story without it necessarily having to mean something.
I think with your bikes example, one of the factors is also that riding a bike is considered one of those fundamental skills in our society. You learn it early and internalize the rules of the machine. When bikes were knew, we absolutely had more tolerance for risk, so we didn't really care that people were getting hurt learning the ropes, and now that it's a staple we take for granted that people will be guided early on by more experienced riders. That's just not the case for something new. There isn't the widespread understanding of the device or any early training. It also helps that a bike is mechanical, so it's a bit easier to predict than something electronic, and of course the difference in safety standards now vs when bikes were new. So yeah, if bikes were just becoming a thing, we probably would feel different about their level of safety.
But I agree that anyone who wouldn't wear a helmet on one of these probably doesn't have much to protect up there anyway or is a literal child.
Between the walruses and the orcas, nature might just manage to restore balance.
I hadn't considered making one, but I'll keep it in mind. I certainly don't have the mental bandwidth at the moment, but I imagine it's much cheaper than buying one.
Well, I've never particularly cared for sports, either, so this improved my opinion of exactly nobody.
You joke, but until about a year ago I thought there was something special about coffee because I'd only ever heard of or seen it come from some specialized contraption. Coffee makers, espresso machines, French press, percolators, Keurig machines, all obscuring the fact that coffee is just like tea; add hot water, you get beverage. This is the fundamental formula, everything else is just a way to do that. I felt so lied to. I only learned because I got curious about why there were so many methods and also seeing in the store what was basically a scoop shaped tea ball intended for coffee. Did you know that coffee bags exist in some places? Like tea bags, but coffee. I didn't, until I got curious, and now I really don't understand why all those machines exist.
Anyway, I blame never really getting into coffee (you can blame sorting by all for my presence), how many machines and methods there are, and a difference in how people seem to approach coffee vs tea for my ignorance. Generally tea seems to have more of a focus on the making and coffee on consumption, at least outside of dedicated communities.
Gotta be one of the ten thousand eventually, right?
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
