sees the whole world doing something

Look how the West has influenced the world!

I think this more of an indication that conservatism is not a strictly Western thing.

Consumables are always the best gifts. I don’t even bother with anything else anymore, unless it’s something that I made myself because then it has sentimental value.

So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

“No.”

“You were hired here on the basis of being a team player.”

“And I put in exactly the hours required of me by the job description. You’re the manager; if slack needs to be picked up, it’s your responsibility to do so, not mine.”

My bosses all hate me, and I’m happier than ever.

There are response guides tesla puts out on their site to help us prepare for what a scene involving a tesla would entail. If I remember right like 8,000 gallons of water to keep the battery stable.

Keep in mind they make those numbers based off liability, not science. Those guides are meant to legally cover Tesla’s ass, not provide actual useful information.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

What does good leadership have to do with the owning class?

Are you suggesting that by virtue of owning things they are good leaders?

Not Canada. Tuition in Canada is as expensive as comparable schools in the US. We just don’t really have the ultra expensive tier like Harvard.

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

Damn nice find! Full cast iron body, you don’t see stuff like that anymore.

Damn that’s gonna be slow.

But I guess speed was not a criterion.

they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they’re all about human collaboration and concensus.

So it’s a democracy.

It will be stronger than a normal coffee, but it still won’t have any caffeine.

There is a distinction between flavor and caffeine content. Decaffeinating does change the flavor but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it strong.

Sounds like the chiropractor has no reason to fix her for good. It’s for-profit healthcare, and she keeps coming back. If he fixes her properly he’s going to lose income.

Massage therapy requires significantly more training than chiropractic does, at least in my area.
