I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it's...okay, I guess? But I'm aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn't do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.
Having one of these calendars in every book was amazing! I remember marking up one of these timelines in the later novels (Yuuzhan Vong, maybe?), so I could make sure I'd read (or owned) every EU book available. And then new books came out, so I had to write them in. Great little addition, rather than just a list!
I feel like important context is that they were kids of the manager. That changes this from a bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation to something else: a bad parenting/child abuse, bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation.
Space is hard. You're strapping something inside a big tube with basically directed explosives at the bottom, hoping it survives the trip, then subjecting it to constant radiation, huge temperature swings, and other brutal environmental factors like micrometeoroids. Just because we've been sending satellites and people up to space for nearly 70 years doesn't mean it's gotten easier; we're just better at knowing what to expect so we can test for it. Failures in rockets or satellites or even manned spacecraft are going to happen as much as we work to prevent them.
I don't usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?
Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it's usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.
A 2021 survey of 44 gender nonconforming people incarcerated in New York state prisons found that three-quarters had experienced some form of sexual assault or inappropriate touching by corrections officers. Over a quarter reported being forced by an officer to perform oral sex.>
What the fuck? I wondered what the number is for cis people. Best I could find was a report from 2020 that said the total rate of sexual misconduct/harassment by staff was 12.3 per 1000 (1.23%). Versus, with a low sample size, 75% in the article's survey. What. The. Fuck.
Dear Quora, I ate this sandwich but now I haven't pooped in 23 days. Should I go see a doctor, or will my friend's MLM elderberry quinoa enema rinse help?
Damn inflation! Back in my day, a nickel could buy a hamburger, two cents would get you a pack of gum, and a penny would get you a great boner! Hell, you could buy a whole book of boners for thirty-five cents!
A garlic press - saves so much time and effort over mincing garlic with a knife because I'm not a pro chef, and can be used in about 95% of situations where you need garlic. I don't use it when I want the garlic texture, but otherwise I just adjust the amount or the cooking time versus minced garlic. There's some hate floating around from professional chefs, but I bought one a few years ago to try it and haven't looked back.
