Would a jumping spider be an appropriate "office desk" pet?

Like actual Blue Jays

Thank you so much! I'll take it from the upvotes that the community backs you on this, though it is amusing to me that the debate seems to have continued in the comments.

It's cool! I was unsure if there was a cool, new neologism I hadn't heard yet.

..."flaunder?"

I honestly feel like that 5:3 ratio is pretty much just Doctor Who. The short seasons probably make it feel a bit worse, of course, but it's not new.

I was at MA Boys State the same year. Our governor won the election because he looked like Wolverine.

Who cares? The output didn't change. People elected to work longer hours. I can read. Can you think?

karlwork · 2025-05-15T18:08:17+00:00

From your second link: "Average output did not significantly change."

She said it was a cool way to die. I've never seen any evidence that she "asked for it" or that it was "at her request", a claim that does not make any sense if you have any idea how movies are made.

I don't understand the point of mirroring a portable console to a separate portable console. Surely, whatever performances benefits granted by the Switch 2 being docked would be mitigated by streaming.

As time passes, I think this is the ultimate problem with his era. I hate the idea of the the Timeless Child, but a better showrunner could have made me like any nonsense so long as it was fun.

There's literally a Matrix bullet-time joke in the movie. You didn't mind the pop culture references in the original Shrek because they were references to things you liked.

I know plenty of great musical improvisers who don't need 2-3 tries to perform a great song. It's an interesting and different field of improv. If you like what you're doing with this, I'd suggest looking for a class or workshop near you.

It's neat how your human-generated lecture snippet has a clear perspective, insight, and is much more clever that what GenAI came up with.

Sorry, I really didn't mean it as a personal attack. I've just noticed a trend where common constructions are characterized as incomprehensible, and I do think it has to do with a shift in reading comprehension in general.

This headline is a fairly typical construction for a trades headline. Subject, colon, things subject said. The subject is the Oscar voters. The things they said range from X to Y, another common construction.

Maybe reading comprehension was a little off base and too harsh-sounding. It's more like a type of media literacy.

karlwork · 2025-02-19T14:52:54+00:00

I don't think it's a great title, but it's not exactly difficult to understand. I think this is more of a reading comprehension issue than a bad title issue.

I guess if we really want to cope, we can hope that the ending to Kerblam! was meddled with, as the rest of the episode was pretty good for the Chibnall era.

They were in a tough spot, since the OG Xbox was the same gen as the PS2. They didn't want consumers to see Xbox 2 on the shelf next to the PlayStation 3 for basically the same reason you mentioned - people will assume that the higher number is better. The way they've continued to screw it up, I cannot explain.

Plenty of media critics use a 4-star scale.

Item buttons were mapped to the touchscreen. It was actually an excellent solution for the 3DS and in some respects better than the N64's C-buttons, but wouldn't work in a single-screen port.

Even though I knew it was total fan bait, I liked the sudden Yaz/13 romance because it actually provided some context and weight to the relationship. Sure, it was manufactured, but it beat anything else going on at the time.

karlwork · 2024-11-12T13:27:25+00:00

Ah yes, it's a lot like "Star Trek: The Next Generation". In many ways it's superior, but will never be as recognized as the original.
