I like the pic, but why is the title different from the text in the pic?

The post they are responding to claims that female is "never" used as a noun. The claim was not restricted to the posted context.

Or using the term to refer to a genetic female, for example in a medical context.

Male and female are definitely nouns also.

They dictate their salary by leaving and finding people who will pay them.

Pediatric cardiology is a difficult specialty and it turns out that people are willing to spend quite a lot of money when their children have heart problems.

Unfortunately, I suspect there is no way they agreed to a guilty plea without an offer on the table.

This is America.

Unfortunately it has weird issues with my bog standard Intel HP Omen laptop and a 2060 GPU.

Basically any kind of sleep mode kills the GPU. I have go into Display settings and force a re-detect to wake it. Kind of a pain when you use the laptop connected to an external monitor with the lid closed.

I don't like Worried Al. I want Weird Al back.

She doesn't think much of the people who win votes, I guess.

Yeah the Senvion situation is an object lesson in the dangers of proprietary systems.

Yeah, but look up the story on the Senvion turbines. Basically, Senvion operators have had to pay big money for service contracts with 3rd parties since Senvion went out of business.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, this is the Konigshovener Hohe wind farm which is built on the site of the Garzweiler open-pit lignite mine. According to this article, the site was inaugurated in 2015 with 21 Senvion turbines.

The problem is, Senvion went out of business in 2019, and customers have been struggling to support their turbines. Apparently the Senvion design is exceptionally dependent on software access. Siemens and others have stepped in to offer support contracts to Senvion turbines in good working order, but with the opportunity to mine more lignite at the site, maybe RWE felt that it was time to spin down the Senvion turbines.

It seems like there may be many factors in this decision.

That's so Raven

I flew Spirit regularly for years. Even with the up front bag fees, they were still consistently cheaper in most cases. I could get a first class seat and full baggage service for less than economy on a major airline.

Now, if Spirit didn't expose the baggage fees to customers booked through third parties, then demanded a king's ransom at the baggage counter, that deserves a paddlin'.

Too many Mikes!

Elaborate. To what policies do you refer, and how would abolishing them move control of the GOP to non-Trump voters?

It would never work. Oh, it would be sweet for awhile, but in our hearts we would always know that I'm a human and you are equipment.

Well, $20/day was his original planned average daily budget. He did say that Western Europe was the hardest, since his money didn't go very far.

In any case, with the increasing length of the trip and his solicitation of financial help, I don't think it's clear whether his final budget was $20/day.

You know it, swinger.
