That’s fine. I don’t love most of my coworkers and my bosses. I tolerate and respect them, though. I don’t see why that’s a positive or negative to want to share a hotel room when traveling with your speaker.

Citation needed. All democrats are rallying behind him so he must at least be tolerated by the majority of the party.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I got very clearly from your first comment that no opinion of any kind factored into your purchase decision. It was all System 1.

Did you know that just because you can doesn’t mean you should?

Companies, yes. Employees, no.

yes, but supposing a perfectly spherical falcon…

Since gravity isn’t affected by weight, they’d both be the same speed, no?

SanDisk had a good name before the acquisition. Their reputation is lasting, unfortunately, longer than their products now.

When a grid’s misaligned with another behind, that’s a Moiré!

The real question is how does it save federal budget money?!?

I don’t know if you read the right wiki, but in the history section the first paragraph is:

The Julian day number is based on the Julian Period proposed by Joseph Scaliger, a classical scholar, in 1583 (one year after the Gregorian calendar reform) as it is the product of three calendar cycles used with the Julian calendar:

28 (solar cycle) × 19 (lunar cycle) × 15 (indiction cycle) = 7980 years

Its epoch occurs when all three cycles (if they are continued backward far enough) were in their first year together. Years of the Julian Period are counted from this year, 4713 BC, as year 1, which was chosen to be before any historical record.[28]

It was either that, or earlier, or in the future. That’s the only year that kinda makes sense (solar = lunar = induction = 0). It looks odd but once you know you know, you know?

So I got confused and had to read Wikipedia for this. Day 0 is Jan 1, 4713 BC. I feel this causes more confusion if it isn’t mentioned.

“Then try something randomly and see if you like it. “

In Florida it’s a form that doesn’t do a background check and doesn’t even check that your main residence is in Florida. Then you can use that license in other states.

John Oliver did an episode on how absurd it is.

You don’t need to be 6 foot tall to know that most showerheads are placed at dwarves height and leaning in a shower isn’t comfortable. Also, fuck my dad’s shower that is both low and small area. I had to open the door to rinse my head.

Maybe you see the world on How it Should work, not How it Does work. Those two are not incompatible, unless you confuse one for the other.

Not better than jpegXL which has clearer free licensing.

The first PDA was the Newton, total disaster. The first cellphone weighed 2 kilos (5 pounds). The first VR didn’t have gyroscopes.

Give it time. It might be the next 3D TV or it might become something. Too early to tell.

In many states in the USA you can carry your weapon (both open and concealed) to the grocery store. It makes everyone uncomfortable and is super weird. Also most people don’t carry their guns properly and it would take someone about two seconds to steal it.
