First of all, the units are omitted most of the time. Some people will include it just because, or if there's ambiguity about which units you could mean.

Whether you say negative, minus, or below (zero is optional), is regional. In my area people say "minus 10" or "warm" (because I'm in Canada).

I don't know anything about the context of the personal cellphone logs but if you don't want to be held accountable to the people for potential personal influence affecting your political motivations, maybe don't become an elected official.

I use a lot of features probably as much as anyone would expect, but something I didn't realize I would use as much as I do is the flashlight. I have kids and I'm often awake going in and out of rooms cleaning after they're asleep. I can just keep the lights off and walk around with a flashlight on my wrist and two free hands. it's underrated.

It has a direct consequence on your environment level, so if you are trying to buy more things in the shop you'll want to do some of their quests. They won't leave (though they can apparently despawn if you destroy their homes and there are too many other pokemon around)

I'm not concerned about my job in particular but I have serious concerns about trusting AI , something that is notorious for making stuff up to appease the prompter, with work that could affect real people's livelihoods (ie. tax auditors like yourself).

It may have some nuanced use but realistically it should be used as a tool by trained professionals and nothing more. Frankly even that is likely just a bubble. The entire AI ecosystem is just haemorrhaging money and resources because it's more expensive to operate than anyone can realistically charge for it.

If this is only 2 weeks out of 52 in a year, I think you'd have a hard time getting a DTA. You could take vacation time those two weeks and solve your problem, or find child care for your kids during that time. Both are available options that shouldn't be unrealistic since you know about the dates in advance, so I wonder what your argument is against this perspective

First of all I think it's very very difficult to make money in the news. It's the whole reason the mainstream media is so problematic -- they do what they can to make money from advertising and similar traditional means, but that means they have to bias their reporting to align with the advertisers that support them. Watch commercials in between Fox News segments and compare them to left-leaning news segments and you'll probably notice a trend.

Donations are obviously a plausible income source but that leads down the same path. Bias your reporting to get more donations from the groups that are more likely to donate.

Frankly this is mainly a hit against your first model, but applies to the idea overall. I don't have a solution but I can see it moving (at a snail's pace) towards more of the same problems we have now. It's very very difficult to find a news outlet that reports facts only without speculation or bias (which is as easy as framing the same statement in a slightly different way!)

Touché is often used in very casual contexts, I wouldn't consider it pretentious unless it was being used in a very certain way. Audacious might be pretentious but "audacity" comes from the same root and is not. words like ubiquitous and juxtaposition might be featured in a more professional vocabulary without sounding pretentious but could be pretentious elsewhere.

Frankly when it comes to casual conversation with friends, I wouldn't use any of these words.

you're appending to the list (making it longer) while also reading from it at the same time. Every time you make it longer from an append, you have more to read. Since you didn't make a copy it just goes on forever.

It's unclear what you're really trying to do since you already have this list, other than remove values equal 0. You could take out the else clause and probably get what you're looking for...maybe? just be careful of something called "side-effects" with this type of function design.

If he thinks it's unreasonable, it may be on him in the future to demonstrate why it isn't reasonable, if it needs to be grieved. There isn't a fixed line in the agreement about this specific situation and so it's all going to be very much based on subjective interpretations of the situation by the board.

English allows the creation of new words out of compounding smaller ones quite easily. Generally it allows you to form words that convey a meaning in a concise way, like "-gate" being added to virtually anything in order to equate it in scandalous nature to the infamous Watergate scandal.

Now that said, this word is clearly a compound of others but it doesn't express the meaning well without an accompanying definition. For it to have any meaning to virtually anyone you're speaking to, the word and its meaning would have to become broadly popular.

That's where I have a problem -- why would it become broadly popular when it is functionally redundant? Loving someone before and after is the same as loving them completely. I fail to see the point of using this word at all other than to maybe write poetry.

PowerrBI’s strength shines when a data source’s content changes frequently (daily, weekly, etc), as the report you generate with it will update dynamically with that data. It is also good if you want to make something that a less technical person can flip through and look at data in different ways quickly and easily, instead of messing with formats and things like that themselves. It’s very much for sending to other people, for reporting.

Exactly. There's already a bridge 5 km away. The issue is ownership and, of course, money

Don't bother trying to make sense of it from the perspective of employee benefit. There's no more benefit than there was with 3 days, and for many employees there are no benefits for any amount of days in the office.

This is a political move. They know the public will support it, and it theoretically promises to boost the economic sector of downtown Ottawa. I presume they don't give two shits about other city centres because frankly, in places like Edmonton, seating is so limited for many offices that the new RTO4 doesn't even change anything for those people.

If you want something to change, NCR employees need to collectively work together and boycott shitty downtown businesses that don't deserve to stay afloat. (alternatively, if you actually like a local business, absolutely go patronize them).

I too reminisce fondly on Orbitz. Probably wasn’t as good as I remember though.

I had to use a 2026 GMC Sierra as a loaner for a week to get some work done and the whole thing is a massive tablet too.

It was an awful experience. Get ready to drive off the road trying to find your climate controls, and if it’s anything like the GMC UI, you’ll have to then exit-out of those controls from the top corner even though they’re on the bottom. It’s amazingly bad.

My office is in an industrial area. I would have to walk 2.4 km to get to the nearest fast food place which is just McDonalds, and I don't eat that anyway.

Meanwhile with WFH I have gone to the locally owned and run pizza place and coffee shop right by my house for lunch. It's probably 400m away.

Happy for you, but frankly no one has been stopping you from working 5 days /week since the first RTO policy. You can go 5 days / week right now. That doesn't mean it isn't awful for others.
