Does gog usually get early access? Genuinely curious

I fully endorse this point, but with an added caveat. The government is made up of people, just like any other organization, but there is often less money to be had in the public sector than the private sector (corruption notwithstanding) so often you wind up with people passionate about their work, but occasionally you have people who aren’t talented enough to hack it in the private sector.

Keep twitch for Bezos. We can call if “de-platforming”

What? Why? As in, why Tim Cook aka Tim Apple? I’m so confused, why are tech oligarchs getting CIA briefings? And this is normal?

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

Interesting, what did you use them for?

I don’t want to set the world on fiiiire.

I had no idea he was paid by the word! It’s been making me feel better that I’m not the only one who struggled.

This book was such an interesting combination between a chore and a joy to read. I remember audibly gasping at some of the twists, but the antiquity of the language made it a slow go, at least for me.

Crazy to think it might be based on a true story.

Why is his head-so-big?

Are you seriously comparing school shootings to someone being punched in the face after holding up a sign that they likely knew was going to be inflammatory?

Edit: I recognize that it doesn’t matter what the sign says, he doesn’t deserve to be punched. It is the kind of statement that reeks of teenage edgelord humor, that I hope the young man grows out of. I think the comparison is in bad faith though.

Did he do the little nod to get a higher fuel limit? Is this how it worked for him at Chipotle?

Less bony though. Them snakes have so many ribs.

This guy’s a fraud. Birds don’t have lungs, they have series of air sacs.

edit: my bad, I should take this course. The lungs move the air through the air sacs

A lot of places have it set up as “compassion leave”. Usually it’s done by the employee association and they approve it for personal tragedies. If someone’s house burns down, for example.

Or maybe add some extra trailing 0s… fractions of a cent exist, right?

I use Mio or other “flavour enhancer drops” for carbonated water to make all kinds of different sodas. My favourite is either cherry blackberry or pomegranate. I know it doesn’t help with the cake situation, but hopefully you can at least still make some fun water.

But Scylla and the Sirens featuring Charybdis doesn’t feel as different to me as say the Collector vs the Champ. I like the randomness and didn’t realize until this comment- though you could argue the music for the Scylla fight is random at least!
