As a child in the US I was taught “The Principal is you ‘pal’.” which is not true but helpful when spelling it. Like “dessert” has more ‘s’ than “desert” because it’s something you want more of.

I love the idea that my reality keeps others up at night. Also class of 2000.

It’s en-shititfication because the en- prefix means (among other things) to “cause to be”

So as long as they are making it worse, they are enshitifying it.

Yep, looks about right. The photo to too dark to see the .25" drives but with all those boxes, it’s clear it gets use. I can almost hear that damn dot matrix printer though because I had that model one at home as a kid . That thing was LOUD.

Same but with a 30 minute intermission where I explain to my kids who everyone at The Council of Elrond is.

This is correct by US standards. When writing the number out we use commas to separate the millions and thousands places like this: 4,500,000. But when we abbreviate large numbers with a word we use a decimal place appropriately in this way so the same number would be: 4.5 million.

In some but not all of Europe they might write the same number with periods where we use commas so they would write 4.500.000 but they would write the abbreviated version the same.

Yet other places around the world would only use spaces instead of commas or periods and write 4 500 000.

For ducks sake:

If it was “for another reindeer was conceived.” then the line would rhyme properly and fit into the song.

<3 you too. Thanks for being awesome and giving us all things to enjoy. We appreciate you!

Oh shit, Stamets is here too? That shouldn’t surprise me but I hadn’t noticed him yet.

This is how I feel every time I see @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website

Only one? I’m stuck between the US court system and Mormons looking for a wife but I guess Republican Congressmen’s Dating Pool is also a possibility.

No, fuck Active. It’s like 2 weeks of old content.

Top 6 hours or Top 12 hours if I’ve been asleep.

Because a paper calendar isn’t a viable option for everyone, which is how I started…

It’s not being inflexible to understand that a particular option isn’t going to work for you, or others. I’m thrilled a paper calendar works for -you- but for people like me it’s not a viable option and calling us inflexible isn’t helping.

I think you misunderstood me. It’s great you have a place where you can leave stuff and it doesn’t get messed with. I don’t have that in my life so if I want something to be the way I left it, I need to keep it with me like on my phone. I’m glad that you can use a calendar for your purposes and you have a safe place for it but not everyone has that so quit shaming people for having different coping strategies than your own.

Shit, now I’m thinking about it and you’d need something big like a flank steak or a brisket. I don’t think a pork-loin would work since it’s not broad enough. You’d still need to probably butterfly it, and then fringe the edge so you had strands to work into the braid. Best I can think of would be more like braided filled pastry than anything else. Not a terrible sway to do a stuffed roast or roulade I guess.

That’s so cool you have your own kitchen!

I have ADHD and cannot keep track of one more paper anything. I record it as something boring akin to a bank transaction now that I fear the government snooping but an app with bright blaring notifications kept me sane and only pregnant when I wanted to be for a decade. I’m mad that I don’t feel safe using it any longer.

It is! I taught research at the grad and doctoral level and Zotero was the best by a long shot. SciWheel is a close second.

I hope the Devil comes for EndNote soon, it is awful and has been awful for a long time.
