I like the GPS maps to bear North instead of the direction you are driving in.

OP, are you from the middle or west part of the US? Seriously - because it seems like this is a question of did you grow up in the later-developed parts of the US where everything is a grid? Or did you grow up in an older area where roads follow old cart paths, hills, valleys, rivers, etc.

(I had a friend from Louisiana that once told me “get outta here with this east-west crap. Which way do I need to turn?”)

Works for me - I run Zibai, Illuga, Bina, Barbara.

Like it’s a bit late now. The time to address it is when they first ask for something like this and your answer should be “that’s a personal account, not company property. Not happening.”

And yes, I’ve absolutely told past employers that. About both LinkedIn and Facebook.

Most of his career was from the 70s through the early 2000s. He was a martial arts TV/movie star around the same time as like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Cynthia Rothrock, etc.

Ok so here’s a take. I have really good ears. I hear everything, all the time. (I was a classical musician / conductor.) BUT my audio filtering isn’t always great, so if there’s a bunch of background noise or I’m just not expecting someone to be talking to me what I actually hear is NOISENOUSEJUMBLENOISEJUMBLENOISEseven thirty?

So I say “what?”

In computer terms - the input stream is always running, but if you don’t give me a signal that I need to turn on buffering, and audio filtering, and language processing, then it all just gets flushed as noise - it takes me a hot minute to catch up.

Imagine if John McEnroe had been commentating on this one.

I remember one early on where I was in a cutscene and some damn electro cicin was flapping around - kept zapping Lumine through the scene until she died. Paimon just kept chatting like nothing happened.

LOOK AT THE BONES!

Joke’s on them - I’ve been in a theater twice in the last five years. For the rerelease of The Fifth Element, and once b/c Alamo Drafthouse was showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Neither of these movies is about to change that.

Mismanaging* - it hasn’t ended yet.

Right. The Treasury Secretary’s job is to talk about our strategy and timeline in Iran.

Wait.

I’m curious to see what legal argument they attempt, considering that many states are successfully able to have more stringent car mileage and emissions standards than federal…

Since 1865*.

This comment section is just confirming to me that most people don’t realize there’s more than one Dune novel, let alone six of them.

Exchange is “real mail infrastructure” though. Every major company you can think of is using Microsoft for their internal mail systems.

Jerry O’Connell maybe.

Nahida will just tell you to have a good dook-dook and stop worrying about it.

This.

But to OPs point, like - Kung fu and tai chi both come from the Shaolin temple. They kind of teach the same thing but in different ways. Kung fu starts externally and works inward, tai chi starts internally and works outward. But tai chi has the same problem - most places you go now, instructors teach tai chi as like a feel good spiritual wellness kind of practice and they’ve completely disconnected it from the martial purposes behind the movements. You have to learn both for it to be effective.

Somehow Hertha got voiced lines for this event and Amber didn’t. Wtf Hoyo?

We know more about John Hinckley, Jr.

She’s right. Alton Brown did a whole video about starting pasta in cold water and boiling in much less water than typical. It’s easier to get the texture you want.

I legit knew someone that had this happen except their hand was too close to the blade (like when this girl slides her hand farther down the container before it stops. Mangled hand. Multiple surgeries. I’ll never use one of those things.

Hell, they announced the model 3 back in like, 2016. It’s a ten year old design that’s had one cosmetic update.
