On the bright side, they can now be court martialed.

They’re also the ones that were picking up the phone under the program that was just cut.

No reason to bury the whole truck when the battery can be removed.

Oof. Lots of good puns, but watch out for the incest and sexualization of minors …

The worst part is they may weasel out of it. If the claim was “it detects 98% of AI generated samples” it could do that while having a high false positive rate. I hate this timelime.

That still doesn’t follow. For every mole of particles dissolved in a liter of water, the boiling point of water increases by about 0.5°C.

Can’t pardon civil contempt. The judge declared probable cause for criminal contempt, and crimes can be pardoned

Staple it to job applications too. I suspect many blue state and private schools would see it as a commendation.

Rodents. Most people don’t compost properly - they leave out the cover material on the sides and top, and still believe the myth that compost needs to be turned.

The fruit smell attracts rodents. Enough cover material keeps the smell in and the edibles inaccessible. Then you can compost most of the foodstuffs you’re normally told not to (fruit, animal products, dairy, etc.). Oil is still a no-no, as I recall.

I’m not so sure. I’d take a sock full of quarters over a sock with a 3.5" spinning disc hard drive in it any day of the week.

In the US, this is a common question from most psychologists and therapists. On the one hand, insurance companies require a diagnosis code in order to pay for any treatment and the same is true for certain kinds of government assistance. On the other, being diagnosed with a mental health condition considered “serious” can trigger various consequences for employment (especially if it involves security clearances), court (particularly custody battles), and random social consequences from people (especially family) who still believe neurodivergence is something to be ashamed of.

Typically the person asking is trying to find out whether an official diagnosis would be helpful or harmful to you, so they know what to put on the billing or other paperwork without causing more harm than good. This is really better done in a conversation where they explain that than on a form where they don’t, though.

Absolutely. Bullet journal changes my life during the periods I’m able to keep up the habit.
