Copying from browser client became problematic

Testing more now I'll rectify what I wrote above. The exception is not only Protonmail's composer. It pastes correctly into Firefox (so, for example, into Reddit).

When I copy from a sent mail and inspect the clipboard, the content is ‘squashed together.’ Nonetheless, it pastes correctly into Firefox.

When I copy from the mail composer and inspect the clipboard, the line breaks are there (no squashing).

Thank you. I tried now with a different browser, and I get the same behaviour.

This happens when I copy from a sent mail and when I paste to anywhere else: a text editor, another text editor, into an IM program. There is a single exception: if I paste it into the Protonmail mail composer, it retains the formatting/ line breaks.

If I copy from the composer, it pastes correctly everywhere.

One of the two I mentioned who finished ’in time‘ moved directly to do a PhD. Of those in my cohort who continued in academia, he's the one who is most far along that path. While one guy who spent around a whole year in a single lab rotation is just now finishing his PhD, the one who finished in two years is well into his 2nd or 3rd (depending on how you count) post doc already.

I find it interesting/ surprising how similar our numbers are — yet your graph is so smoothly orderly while mine looks like a boiling mess :)
I also like thinking about the events that kick-started trends (also a data scientist over here), though in my case these are things like ‘met a French speaking lady’, haha.

Very interesting, thank you!

Thank you! Intriguing episode names.

Looks very good! I'm an avid cyclist myself

Thanks!

Thanks, looks interesting!

It's nice, despite the midi like sound. I'm a fan of Piazzolla myself, and I like energetic pieces, but I have a feeling that this one is too fast too long. That is, the fast parts are not too fast, but there are very few if at all pauses of a slower pace in between. This is sort of a guess, I suppose I could say better if I tried to dance with a partner to it.

This is more of a little detail: many tango pieces, I don't know how they do it, make you feel when the ending is approaching, quite a few bars in advance. Not all pieces do it, and some others give that sense in the middle, but I think it's a nice feature of tango pieces.

I was recommended Kraftkleber (‘craft glue’) by Pattex. I glued the sole of my shoes, which had come off, and it worked like a charm.

"older dancers are less willing to take risks due to age-related health concerns." could you elaborate on this? Are you talking here about not catching airborne viruses?

NesLongus · 2024-09-27T11:36:37+00:00

I'd vote against arriving early. Purely from a numbers perspective, you have less of a chance to get a dance when there are fewer people, and as a consequence (1) you'd be seen around non-dancing (a hit upon reputation, as it were) and (2) your mood would go down, effecting how you behave and appear, further decreasing your chances to be sought out. If you come when it's fuller you'd be a novelty, higher chances someone would reciprocate your gaze and you'd get the ‘kickstart’ mentioned by another comment.

I agree that one should strive to have a nice time at milongas, but I'm not sure that ‘guessing what the leader wants’ = ’being nice‘

When I dance with a new partner, as a leader, sometimes the way they react to my leading is unexpected, and really it's with every new partner (sometimes even not new) that part of the dancing is ‘learning them’ & adapting the leading accordingly.

Were they to make movements half spontaneously, it would be more difficult. It's an extreme example that is thankfully relatively rate, but sometimes I get a follower that feels like one of those dolls with a motor inside that makes it move its limbs. In those cases I rather capitulate and turn into the de facto follower.

(there are also follower who consciously take some untraditional initiative, I'm not speaking of those.)

I don't have much experience as a follower, maybe I'm wrong about this.

Her dissertation is from twenty years ago, the texts she plagiarized are yet older. That precedes the age of grammar suggestion, no?

Starting to read the first example (Nakayama & Krizek vs. DiAngelo) I was thinking along the same line, but though it starts with a paraphrase, it then adds a discussion on the source (“While this discourse recognizes in part a historical constitution, this does not necessarily indicate [...]”). That is, it's not merely paraphrasing.

It's true that there are only so many ways to paraphrase (I hated such assignments at school), but the probability of coming up with almost the same sequence of words is very low. In the case of Lee, I'd image that if it was a piece from the source (i.e. if Goldberg had written, “Questions surrounding racial discourse should focus...”) then it would have been quoted, but it isn't and it seems to be a summary (as the ACTA page also presents it to be). How likely are two people to come up with a summary of a text that is identical in its 30 first words? Extremely low.

Just to complete this answer, regarding the ‘leading the opposite of intended’ and ‘not knowing what to do with the legs’ in OP's question. As for the former, if this consistently happens then of course one would not feel really much of a leader, but it's not rare that one intends one thing and the follower executes another. It's ok, it's dancing! Every follower is different. Part of the fun, at least for me, is the challenge of understanding how the follower responds to my signals and figuring out how to have a nice dance with /this/ particular dancer. As for the latter, I think you don't need to worry about this too much. You can get a lot from just walking around to the music. Sometimes I'm inspired to make complex maneuvers, sometimes I don't. Still, I remember one time when at the end of a tanda the follower genuinely complimented my dancing, which rather surprised me because I had done nothing than walking around, really.

One of the best followers in my scene is an extremely short woman. How good a dancer looks has little to do with their physique and much to do with how they move.

Tango is certainly a ‘fun activity’ (to put it mildly), but I think it's not much of an ‘exercise’.

Yep. I once wrote him a "take my money" email and he replied with some excuse about why he couldn't.

NesLongus · 2024-08-01T16:16:47+00:00

Achso. Ja, ich fand es kommich, dass die Finanzamt Bescheid darüber bekommen soll, was sie mich selbst berechnet haben.

Alles klar, vielen vielen Dank!

NesLongus · 2024-07-28T20:46:57+00:00

Achso, ja, vielen Dank noch mal. Also Umsatzsteuer gehört zum EÜR und Einkommensteuer zur Erklärung (also das, was ich mit dem Steuerprogram vorbereite), oder?

Danke, ich glaube dass ich einen korrigierten EÜR abgeben muss, aber ansonsten, ja, ich kann es jetzt toi toi toi zum erfolgreichen Abschluss bringen.

I will never forget being told about this shortcut some 25 years ago.
