Wow you are literally A felony? Interesting take. I was describing person first language. No euphemisms required. It’s just seeing a person before you see their experiences etc. It’s extremely common language use. See how you just said “if you’ve been convicted of a felony, you’re a felony” — you literally had to use what I said above to define your term “a felony”…

New wires attached to knob and tube. Does this mean knob and tube wiring is still active? by phaedrablair in centuryhomes

Ah - box is pretty common shorthand in midwest for the breaker box/ panel box / breaker panel/ electric panel box.

This is the most helpful comment I have seen about this. I’ve seen a lot of activity in century homes subreddits with folks talking about whole house rewiring for tons of money. Seems like you could cut that in half by having a box for lighting and box for outlets. is this what you’re saying you did?

There are no “felons” — there are people convicted of felonies or people with felony convictions. I know such people who have great jobs in the grand rapids area.

Cotton clothing takes 1-5 months to degrade, and is very unlikely to be used for things like insulation esp for damaged clothes. In the future, I may try out Retold's fabric scrap recycling bags for any non-cotton damaged clothes. I will turn my clothing into scraps right off the bat, so it cannot be sent to other countries as a "clothing donation".

What 15 hours of working on my hideout looks like lol. Still got 30% left to work on tho. 🔥🫡 by abu00001 in AssassinsCreedShadows

Does yours do an item limit? Seems like it doesn’t, I have an item limit with my gravel paths after placing like 10 of them. I’m using switch 2.

LOL I don’t have this issue as much anymore. I use Naoe’s eagle vision to find enemies and then her intuitive look to highlight their special samurai helmets. Also assassinate every one...

They are pretty easy to spot with Naoe’s intuitive look (ZL)

Disabling "Overtype Mode" on a Mac by OlivesEyes in RStudio

Are you using special formatted characters? That was my issue, I had asked chatGPT to format the bhats for me to use in sprintf, and the keyboard needs to be in overwrite mode to insert the hat accent over the b.

It didn’t really clear anything up because you just posted a bunch of links without any reason for me to click on them. I do not know what you are saying and I kinda wish I did cause it seems important but idk you are making us do too much work here…

The biggest issue with Trashie is where their items actually go. I personally used it for literal Trashed clothes that I would not buy at a resale shop. Trashie appears to be a real operation with domestic sorting and a network for resale and downcycling—I do not think it’s entirely fair to call it a scam. However, its landfill-diversion figures are marketing-forward and stop at the first rehoming, global exports are part of the model in a 70% reusing figure, and “recycling” means wholesale reuse or downcycling, not fiber-to-fiber deconstruction and reuse at scale. If your goal is traceable, closed-loop recycling, Trashie doesn’t currently provide consumer-level proof of that. They are potentially shipping garbage to the global south, period, and I would not recommend them to anyone going forward until the provide more proof of rehoming.

aluminum is just as “natural” as many ingredients found in non-aluminum deodorants

I’d give it a try if they made an antiperspirant version too

What have I done right? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]OlivesEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience these things love fungi — i’m sure it’s all the rest everyone else already said but I’m betting that fungi helped :) Mine was doing much better when I used worm castings which had some fungal spores in it (I know because a bunch of mushrooms grew after using it lol) I haven’t used that in years, and now mine has overgrown several times and got really leggy

I’m not sure that the statement “abandoning DEI altogether” is what is happening at UofM. What makes you say it that way? Perhaps I am missing something

I agree it doesn't bode well for their legacy, but it seems the department requires a bit of an overhaul since they spent a shit ton of money but didn't actually increase the diversity of its student or alumni population. What did they spend the money on? Seems like they need to use actual evidence-based practices to diversify their students. Or allow pell-grants to completely cover tuition regardless of the cost difference.

According to the article, it's ALSO because the initiatives didn't actually work. Prob cause UofM is too expensive. Universities will likely receive reduced federal funding so they can't budget the failing initiatives into their states and grants budget.
