  • Sure!

    “If I’m asked, I’ll give grammar tips to whomever.”

    Whomever is tough, because often this would be constructed as “I’ll give grammar tips to whoever asks.” And you would use “who” there, because “whoever” is the subject of the clause “whoever asks.”

    Generally speaking, it’s usually safe to pick “whoever” over “whomever.”

    But if you drop the “-ever” it’s a lot easier. Anywhere you’d use “him” (that is, the objective pronoun), you use “whom.” To whom, for whom, by whom, etc.

  • Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”

    To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’

    “he made this” vs “him made this”

  • Most well-known to me would be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran theologian who was quite vocal about his opposition to the Nazi regime and eventually participated in plans to assassinate Hitler.

    This explains why Musk cut the funding for Lutheran charities.

  • This is very common for psyche wards.

    Memory wards, not psyche wards. Important difference.

    A psychiatric patient would be able to read and understand the sign, and could then easily escape. A patient with Alzheimer’s or other advanced dementia cannot.

    (Source: I spent a few days in a psychiatric ward when I was younger and depressed, and have had multiple grandparents on memory floors at nursing homes.)

  • I’ve been listing to the audiobook for American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the number of times they say “CP” as an abbreviation for “Communist Party” is too damn high.

    Also last time I went to the amusement park Cedar Point they’ve got “CP” as an abbreviation on all sorts of stuff.

    Made me chuckle, but I do think it’s perhaps time to move to the abbreviation CSAM since it’s less likely to get used for other purposes.

  • I consider myself more techy than the average person. I’m a developer, I used to use Linux, and I used to root my Android phones.

    I stopped connecting my phones to my computers long ago. Hardly ever had a reason to do so once I stopped rooting, unless I was using the phone as a makeshift flash drive.

    Transferring to a new phone, stuff transfers over wirelessly or backups download. I’ve got everything in the cloud these days. No real need to connect to a computer.

    That said, I do think it’s frustrating if this is a limitation of the port rather than one of the cable.

  • Dogs

    Jump
  • Dont forget, people interbred with other hominid species also, like Neandertals.

    Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens fucking is more akin to dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and coyotes (Canis latrans) fucking, not dogs and humans.

  • Note that Google’s anti-stalking measures may reduce the effectiveness of following tracked stolen items on a map since enterprising thieves can soon quickly discover hidden trackers, no matter which phone they use.

    They can’t get the tag off my bike without specific tools, so if they’re warned that the bike they stole is tracking them and it leads to them abandoning the bike somewhere, all the better for me.

  • IIRC from the original headline, it’s an indirect thing. Like a former distributor is still selling Haas machinery to Russia, but it isn’t someone they currently have a relationship with. Like a true citizen of the internet, though, I only skimmed the article.
