It's complicated, but some would argue the modern Internet started in 1986 (with the adoption of DNS and TCP/IP for the NFSNET), a full year after Handmaid's Tale was published even.

But yeah, Atwood stated she took inspiration from religious movements in the 1980s to oppress women, the Islamic revolution in Iran in the 1970s and it's effect on women, and the pushback in late 1940s against women working after the war ended.

All of this prexisted the Internet by a long shot.

No, but you can be average and Tinker Bell.

Option 3: pull up a list of the developers and venmo them each 10¢ then go pirate the game?

I'm only half kidding.

It's either something gummy like swedish fish or sour patch kids, or I take the time to properly make some cookies.

Call it "Sky gate" and control the tube with a $15 cheapo gamepad and I'm in.

Congrats, you found EA's outreach representative. Those lootboxes ain't gonna gamble themselves (yet. AI might change that).

A lot of them around me don't even own, just rent. They'd save money by just not having to keep that infrastructure up and running at max and getting out of their contract when it ends.

I dunno. I got a dumpster and forced three families to finally clean their houses some. And only sportsball I watch is Calvinball but we're in the off season sadly.

(Am I doing this right? I always avoid the coffee pot because it was garbage coffee so missed all the collaborative talk)

Technically the Python bool is fine, but it's part of what makes numpy special. Under the hood numpy uses c type data structures, (can look into cython if you want to learn more).

It's part of where the speed comes from for numpy, these more optimized c structures, this means if you want to compare things (say an array of booleans to find if any are false) you either need to slow back down and mix back in Python's frameworks, or as numpy did, keep everything cython, make your own data type, and keep on trucking knowing everything is compatible.

There's probably more reasons, but that's the main one I see. If they depend on any specific logic (say treating it as an actual boolean and not letting you adding two True values together and getting an int like you do in base Python) then having their own also ensures that logic.

Beached - hauled up or stranded on a beach.
Beach - a strip of land covered with sand, pebbles, or small stones at the edge of a body of water, especially by the ocean between high- and low-water marks.

Dangit, you're right, try as I might I'm having a hard time twisting those definitions to anything other than the colloquially accepted meaning.

You absolutely can't. You just can't. Standing around the empty coffee pot yakking about the sportsball game over the weekend for 45 minutes and then spending three minutes agreeing you need a meeting to coordinate brainstorming just doesn't work over Teams.

They just refuse to admit that's a good thing.

If it's not shoved under the seat in front of you properly it can be a tripping hazard and slow things down, plus if the overhead bins don't stay latched well because they weren't maintained well (which is a thing I've seen often) then any emergency could possibly have thrown that into the aisle.

I dunno, it makes sense to at least look at it further.

No, I didn't have the time to put into it. I was already part of a Celtic group and the community orchestra so those songs always got priority, but I was nowhere near good enough to take lead on any (I was the youngest in the Celtic group and the only kid in the community orchestra full of music teachers, so I cut myself some slack, lol)

Dry is used both for the sugar content and the mouth feel from tannins in wine, but yeah, it's usually referring to the residual grape sugars left after fermentation. Dry = low sugar,

Although technically coffee beans might fall under the literal definition of "burnt", most use it to mean overcooked, which coffee beans aren't, they're cooked just enough. Unless you're Starbucks, then yes they're burnt

Ukrainian water, da. будмо

Yeah, violin 1. It's surprisingly simple overall for how impactful a piece of us.

He had better handlers and PR team back then so more people thought he was just an eccentric billionaire Playboy inventor and were willing to do the dirty work needed to make it happen.

I've actually played this! 🙌🏻 Well, some. My teacher made me learn a good chunk of it when I was learning third position. It's a great piece.

definitely goes with gummies

Cat music slaps. You might also like Meow mix

Here's some gummies to munch while you listen
