  • This morning, I'm off to groom the goats and gather fresh eggs from the geese. The greenhouse needs tending too, with its gourds and guava plants.

    After that, I'll glide on my skateboard along the gritty pavement, feeling the cool gusts. For lunch, perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich with gouda, and a glass of grapefruit juice.

    In the afternoon, a game of golf awaits, grueling yet galvanizing. And as dusk falls, I'll gaze at the glimmering stars, grasping the grandeur of the galaxy.

    Then I'll grab my guitar, gleefully strumming glorious melodies.

    Next, I'll gear up for gaming, getting into go-kart racing and guild quests. Great for unwinding and igniting gusto.

    Then, on to grub: guacamole with garlic, garnished with green onions, alongside golden tortilla chips, goulash, gumbo, gazpacho, gravy, granola, gorgonzola, and graham crackers. A gourmet, gratifying snack.

    Later, I'll grab my gardening guide, to gain groundbreaking insights on growing gardenias. Guiding the creation of a grand, lush grove is very gratifying.

    Before bed, a glance at tomorrow's goals: glazing pottery, a new, gripping hobby.

    Does this give a good glimpse into my day?

  • I think the shopping cart theory needs to be a bit more fleshed out.

    I had assumed it meant people leaving carts all over the parking lot, not right at the exit of the store. The problem is that carts being all over the lot often block spaces or can roll into people's cars and damage them. If the cart is left right at the exit, those problems go away. It's also very quick and easy for employees to grab them there. If the customer isn't parked out in the lot, it wouldn't make sense for them to be expected to take the cart farther away from the store just so that an employee can bring it right back.

  • Come on. I think we can assume that if someone is physically incapable of putting a shopping cart back, they're not included in this. But then I do wonder how they were using the shopping cart in the first place.

  • Using a VPN, even if the server is located in the same country, provides several benefits:

    1. Privacy: It encrypts your internet traffic, hiding your online activities from your ISP and potential eavesdroppers.
    2. Security: It secures your data, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
    3. Bypass Restrictions: It can bypass internet censorship or network restrictions in workplaces.
    4. Avoid ISP Throttling: It can prevent ISP throttling based on content type or data usage, ensuring consistent internet speed and performance.

    Are YOU stupid?

  • Pardon my ignorance, but aren't the skulls often shaped a bit differently? If the textbook was just showing that and not saying something about one shape making a certain race superior, is that still a problem?

    Different races will often have little differences right? My favorite example is the gene variant ABCC11 that is extremely common in South Korea. It limits the production of odorous sweat by reducing the activity of apocrine glands. I think it also affects whether ear wax is wet or dry. I'm kind of jealous of that one and am waiting for CRISPR to be available for it. Well maybe not, but I'd at least think about it.

  • If you're on Android, I think this still works. Try setting an alarm for 5 minutes from now and turn your phone off. It should turn back on for the alarm.

    Edit: Just tried it and it worked on the native OnePlus clock app, but not on the Google clock.

  • When using "queue" or "cue," the context is crucial for deciding which word is appropriate. The word "cue" refers to a signal for action, especially in theater, to prompt someone to do something. It's been used in this sense since the 1500s. On the other hand, "queue" generally refers to a line or sequence of people or things waiting their turn. This meaning originated in the 1800s.

    In the context of this debate:

    1. Cue: When saying "Cue Mitch Hedberg," the word "cue" is being used correctly. It's like saying, "Now enter Mitch Hedberg," or "Prompt the appearance or mention of Mitch Hedberg." It's a signal for something specific to happen or appear, especially in a performance or presentation context.
    2. Queue: The argument for "queue" seems to be based on the YouTube context, where videos are lined up to play one after the other, hence the term "play queue." While it's true that watching a video on YouTube involves adding it to a play queue, the term "queue" in the sense of "Queue Mitch Hedberg" would imply adding him to a waiting list or sequence, which isn't the intended meaning here.

     

    And actually as far as I can see, there isn't actually a play queue when you just click on a single video. So if the original commenter was truly trying to say "add Mitch Hedberg to your queue of videos", fine. However, I have strong doubts about that being what they meant.
