Midwestern here.

I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they’re Midwest also.

There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it’s not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.

Ok. Good.

YouTube had already gone through several eras a decade ago.

Saying that makes me want to yell at a cloud.

I can see a certain angle where it makes sense: youth/general outreach, educating people about the court system. Something a little more interactive/entertaining than CSPAN, but more real than Judge Judy.

But you throw “influencer culture” into the mix and you’ve got a disastrous recipe for The Chat influencing the outcome of cases.

And he pulled out of a mutually beneficial nuclear treaty so that he could slap a bunch of sanctions on them.

In order for the tides to rise significantly in the Baltic or Mediterranean, you’d need that much extra water to flow through the narrow opening in the straits of Gibraltar/Denmark.

The Baltic sea also probably is less affected because it’s so far north, and the tides are based on the Moon’s (not-quite-equatorial, but not THAT inclined) orbit.

This definitely seems like the more likely explanation. There certainly is a mental/emotional hell you go through in academia, but with this y-axis being specifically about psychiatric medication… all I’m seeing is that grad students like/need Adderall.

The vast majority of the time, nepotism refers to a patent giving their children special privileges due to the power the parent has.

The word itself comes from from the Italian word for “nephew”, because of a trend of “nephews” of popes getting special privileges (often, these were the popes’ illegitimate sons).

Jira teams start with happy*

YUUUUUUUUUP YUPYUPYUPYUPYUP

I’m not a lawyer, but a piece of legal advice I’ve seen repeated many times is “Never threaten to sue. Just sue.”

As soon as you threaten to sue, you’ll never be able to talk to anybody except the legal team, and they’ll do nothing to help your case.

Can someone let me into the top floor of a wall street office building so I can become finance-class?

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

Reasonable chance he never wrote one and Biden just said that to pacify the media.

My wife broke her ankle and insurance denied the entire claim for being “not medically necessary”. The “medical professional” (not doctor) who denied the claim had experience in OBGYN, not orthopedics.

100% going to win the appeal because like, we have x-rays of the shattered bones in her leg, but seriously wtf. People seriously believe this is the ideal medical system?

Kakuna wearing a tux?

You’re the outlier of outliers, then. General practice is booked weeks to months in advance for me.

:q!

The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.

I want something that’s basically like Windows 98.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition) and Kubuntu are, in my opinion, the two most windows-looking distros out of the box. They use the Cinnamon and KDE desktop environment respectively, you can do a little googling to see if those look like you expect your desktop to work.

Does everyone just always know what they’re doing at all times?

Fuck no, lol. I’ve done more stupid shit on Linux than windows would ever let me get away with. But Linux people tend to be a little more “tinkerers” than other computer users. Not everyone by any means, it’s really more of the other way around: if you want to tinker with your computer, Linux gives the most freedom to do so. And when you tinker enough and make enough mistakes learning experiences, you tend to pick up some knowledge along the journey.

But a lot of the modern distros are very plug-and-play, to where it’s not necessary to be a tinkerer to get going on Linux anymore.

A lot of people interviewed for the article are acting all surprised. “Oh wow, this is really surprising that he said this, given his policy stance on the drug”

Only one person really hit home with their response. Douglas Brinkley from Rice University:

“It reinforces Nixon as a Machiavellian political operative,” Mr. Brinkley said, adding that the former president “dehumanized drug users because it was in his political interest to do so.”
