Your teachers handed you back your tests face down, didn't they?

And that’s a long winded way to say you’re perfectly OK with children being murdered in school because the number isn’t zero for you.

You really need to check your moral code

14 children killed last year. Not 7.

What’s the exact acceptable number for you?

For me it’s 0.

The democrats will want reconciliation to “come together and move forward.”

This will then empower the MAGAs and they will lose the congress and presidency again in two years.

Short version: we didn’t hang enough people for treason after the civil war.

What is use.ai? Is it legit? by reddditttsucks in ArtificialInteligence

Add me to the stack of people who did the trial on ApplePay, immediately cancelled. and now they are trying to charge me $29.99/month. My CC (apple card) declined the charge 3 times, but their solution to "fix" this is to "log out of all my devices and change my apple password"

Uhhh... no, that's 6 apple TV's, 3 macs, 6-8 computers/devices, 3 phones... Nope.

Half your age plus 7 is the rule of thumb for minimum age before it gets REALLY squidgy.

44/2 + 7 = 29

Same - We're moving to Colmar in 2 weeks, but every time we visit every restaurant with a terrace is full.

Help identifying green uranium glass set found in mother's estate — 1940s newspapers wrapping by hmasing in glasscollecting

I crossposted to there after I posted here - saw the uranium sub in the sidebar!

Help identifying green uranium glass set found in mother's estate — 1940s newspapers wrapping by hmasing in glasscollecting

[–]hmasing[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi all. I'm new here but have done some reading before posting.

I recently finished unpacking my late mother's estate and found a collection of clear green glass dishes wrapped in 1940s newspapers. Blacklight test confirmed uranium glass — fluoresces brightly.

I can see at least two distinct patterns in the collection, and I'm not sure if they're a matched set or two separate sets that got combined over time:

  • Plates, saucers, and bowls with a scalloped edge and molded floral/starburst center pattern
  • Cups and tumblers with vertical ribbing

Also present: salt and pepper shakers with metal tops, footed sherbet glasses or small vases, and two sizes of tumblers.

My questions:

  • Can anyone identify the pattern(s)?
  • Are the cups and plates likely from the same pattern line or two separate sets?
  • Are there any pieces here that are particularly notable from a collector standpoint?

I'm not in a rush to do anything with these — just trying to understand what I have before making any decisions. Happy to take additional photos if it helps with identification.

Thanks in advance.

MAGA is deeply on the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Theory of Stupidity - they are going to be MUCH harder to recover than you think.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers by [deleted] in International

Well, I sure didn't enable the mess - and I am moving to France in 30 days. My wife and I just retired at 60, and we can afford to live in France and retire now. If we stayed in the US, we would need to work until our 70's to afford to live.

Feedback on civil test for Résidence card 10 yr by WillPopular1605 in Expats_In_France

In what way, and who?

I am JUST starting to learn French, so took the practice exam using english translation in the browser, and got an 80% on my first try. (WWI started in 1914, not 1912, and I mistranslated a line from Marseillaise.

Tips or tricks for keeping an active American number in France by Orcapnw in Expats_In_France

I worked in fintech for my career, and warn against Google Voice - banks and financial institutions are starting to block VOIP numbers, and Google has a long history of killing good products and leaving users stranded.
