“Less” is correct. “Less” had been used synonymously with “fewer” to denote countables for centuries before the contrivance of a distinction, and that usage has continued on despite some’s insistence of one.

Unless you are writing in some professional or technical sense that demands “fewer” instead, “less” is fine.

I’m not sure I follow that math.

I’m sure their friends say nice things.

And you buy drinking water just to flush down the toilet.

Distract them with a cool sword swishing around? That’ll do it.

My darling and I do combat choreography and a theatre friend alerted us to this trend. But honestly, I couldn’t tell you if that was 2, 4, or 12 months ago.

In the intransitive sense ‘choking’ has that meaning, but the transitive sense is more equivalent to strangulation. ‘Getting choked by a dick’, ‘choking on a dick’, and ‘choking one’s own dick’ are three very different things.

Username checks out.

lol. Before i saw the title I thought an AI had hallucinated a down facing solar panal inside a cloud. 😅

Oh I get it. My Darling will find cups or even full meals in the microwave that I left there days ago.

If you have any sugar in your drink (including: milk, fruit tea) you need to rinse it out daily or you will get a rotten stank/flavor that doesn’t seem to wash out.

To get rid of it, you just need to remove any seals and soak everything in warm water with a little denture cleaner or oxi-clean. I usually just put the gaskets inside the cup with a little cleaner, set the lid on, and fill it until it just starts to overflow. This will also remove any tea/coffee stains and you can use those to gauge whether it has soaked long enough.

I keep 3-4 cups at work…

One short stout thermal mug that won’t tip over when I forget where it is and hit it.

1-2 narrower thermal mugs (in case I forget one at home) that will fit in my car cup holders to transfer any tea I forgot to finish at the end of the day. Or just for a fresh road cup.

One ceramic mug to reheat in the microwave any that I left too long in the steeper or with the lid off the thermal mug.

It’s ripe for all sorts of ongoing gags: red shirt death toll, or a red shirt that gets horribly maimed but comes back from sick bay every episode South Park style. Plenty of room for plot twists and narrative shifts because neither the MacGuffin nor the true nature of the setting are revealed at the beginning.

Open planet-side. The away team beams in and starts taking readings and such.

Away 1: So, how many tentacles do you think the transporter chief actually has?

Away 2: At least 30, but that depends where in the branching you start counting.

Away 3: 30‽ More like 2,030!

Away 2: Oh I don’t count the little ones. I think of them as tiny fingers.

Away 1: Or octopus suckers.

Away 4: I think they are more like…tongues?

Away 1: Wait! So every time they shook my hand…

Away 4: Uh huh.

Away 1: Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m disgusted or aroused…

Away 3: dis-groused?

Away 4: I always thought they were 1 multi pronged tentacle, like… a hand… or, or, a starfish!

Away 1: A starfish? do you think if they were cut in half they’d become twins?

Disembodied voice: Away One, your communicator is still on.

Away 1: Ugggh! Not again! If I get another reprim…

Blaster fire hits a nearby red shirt and plot ensues

Unironically, I think Star Trek: Away would be a fun Lower Decksian concept that covers an away team, but only while they are on mission.

The episode starts once they have left the ship (whether by transporter, shuttle or otherwise), no context, and the show builds the premise of the mission over the course of the episode. We never actually get a good view of the inside of the ship and all the nonsense that goes on there (mission related or not) has to be relayed through coms, dialogue, or the away team’s outside perspective.

Average “life expectancy” in the past is misleading because it is skewed by high rates of infant/child mortality. If you made it to past your first few years, you stood a much better likelihood of reaching old age.

It’s a really fast instagram filter.

NVIDIA’s response was that “the underlying geometry is unchanged,”

Slow down there Kenobi. It may technically not change the underlying geometry, but that’s because It ignores the geometry. You never see it.

This is the finding of out. Throw the book at them now. Expel the hate speaker and anyone who endorsed the photo on social media.

We need to empower a multidisciplinary workgroup to establish a performative analysis of our process capabilities from a data driven perspective relative to this newly published benchmark.

We (at least used to) learn basic probabilities and averages (mean median, mode) in grade school. Maybe a little about distributions and deviations in the upper grades, but not greater statistical analysis unless you are in college prep courses.
