Plenty of people visit hospitals for seasonal flu, fyi. They shouldn't, but they do.

Trump didn't exactly follow Fauci's advice, so it's odd that you'd blame Fauci's "method of approaching pandemics" for "this mess." Was there some other, better, established method?

If your company has more than one office, they each have their own culture, which hews more or less closely to the cultural commonalities between offices. Shared values, communication norms, peer reactions, shared history, and inside jokes

Yes, they put up fences to funnel animals. There are indeed measures for how effective they are. It sounds like you're bothered that this article for popular consumption isn't an entirely different piece about the same topic.

Almost certainly not, since they're not being housed as soldiers .

Yeah, if I owned a condo you'd bet I'd want an HOA. It's one thing when everyone owns their own roof and yard, but quite another when it's a single building that multiple owners are sharing.

I also switched from LastPass to Bitwarden, and over the past couple years of using it I have had zero criticisms.

Not indirectly elected? Many, many U.S. conservatives voted for Republican senatorial and presidential candidates specifically having in mind that they would shape a Supreme Court willing to strike down Roe . Trump promised to only appoint

Doesn't feel like self-promotion with little substance/a very short article is a good fit here.

The problem is that the first thing might be callable, and it might expect one or more arguments that could include functions. If your intention was to add something to the result of a function, but + was passed as input to that function,

Yes, that is indeed the verb, but I hear it as "I ab sent myself" and I can't remember ever hearing it otherwise. Maybe in the USA it's already entered this category and then gone even further and influenced the pronunc

What if it was rephrased as an indefinite sentence, but a minimum of 21 years? (If the law doesn't permit a longer minimum, then 21 years is the "maximum sentence" in that there cannot be a longer mandatory period imposed.)

Some of the examples in the list seem dubious to me. Absent? Cushion? Recap? I don't think I've ever heard the stress on the latter syllable even when used as a verb.

Why would they need an argument? Politics isn't about who has the better argument. It's just that no one in those states has (so far) had the skill, energy, and resources to organize political change on the issue.

Well that kind of depends on the actual testimony, doesn't it? Here, the defendant was neighbors with the victim, and the witnesses were other neighbors . So there's not much reason to doubt their identification, at least.

I think people are taking my comment to read "don't get a truck" when it was really just responding to the suggestion that "return your rental and come back home and realize you need to buy more of some heavy large item&

by GavinMcG 5y ago
Sure. That's a reasonable use case. Needing to get lumber home from Home Depot isn't, for most people, because of low frequency.

A truck costs tens of thousands of dollars . Even assuming half the cost would otherwise be put towards an alternative vehicle, you'd still need to move stuff uniquely suited to a truck literally hundreds of times to make it worthwhil

But the other side of that is that potential targets of harassment can't bring all of their experiences to the table. Many people who didn't experience harassment still had to self-censor to avoid attention.

When it comes to nicknames, sure, but that's not really the substance of a forum/channel/etc.

It's also established by pointing to one's past behavior to demonstrate a track record of trustworthiness, of certain values, etc. If it turns out that Mark Zuckerberg is leading the charge, here, you'd be unhappy.

I think this somewhat romanticizes things. Those characteristics were irrelevant as long as one passed as male, but many women experienced a lot of harassment for participating online.

But those are isolated transactions, and I can return a product to the store. We're talking about networks and communities here. Those aren't as interchangeable as things we buy.

Companies are allowed to provide dangerous products. It's just that they can't do so without warning people and (potentially) without changing designs or taking other measures to protect people from the harm, unless the danger i
