I can see talking yourself into that definition, but any 4-year-old can look at that picture and tell you it didn't land perfectly. "No, silly! It's upsidedown!"

Very true, but at least at that point, she trusted him a lot more than she trusted random other people.

It was something that happened to me as a child, not something I chose. When I was an adult, I tried traveling on the cheap, as young folks do. Backpack and train passes. Hostels and couch surfing. My friends kept insisting I would fall in

A note about current sexual situation too: This first came out when I was in college. My (female) roommate wanted to get it immediately, even though she was very open about only having been with the man she was seeing at the time. When I as

I think I was including "landing" in the relevant part of "pinpoint landing," not just the pinpoint element, which was what made it amusing. It did (apparently) "land" and not "crash" (or at least tha

I sat down with a map of the U.S., since that's where I'm a citizen. At the time, my parents were having health challenges, so I made a list of the cities from which I could fly directly to where they were living at the time (they

Oh definitely not saying they shouldn't be proud. I'm intensely impressed, and they should be extremely proud. It was just the juxtaposition of "perfect" with the picture of the thing upsidedown that made me laugh. &quot

I grew up with no real sense of "home." I think probably because of that, traveling was never exciting for me. I did it. I spent months bouncing around various places, but it didn't feel like anything unusual to me. Each was

> For the pinpoint landing, Sakai said, he would give SLIM a "perfect score." I get being really, really proud of what you accomplished here, but... perfect ? Really? You can't think of anything that maybe could have gone

I see the point you're trying to make, but I don't think it's accurate. I don't think even those people want the DRM. They just don't realize the tradeoff they're making until it's too late.

I feel so bad for all the people who have the same surnames as their unmarried mothers and don't think this through. I don't know how big that chunk of humanity is, but I feel for them.

How does this normally work when a Korean business needs to downsize? Is there sort of a cultural understanding of the need and the employees sort out together which ones with accept the resignation offer? Five employees sounds like a rea

It does seem like the difficulty, then, must be with the comprehension of spoken language, then, not strictly the speaking of it. I had wondered about this for awhile, how when you see adults have their cochlear implants turned on for the f

Is it the capacity to learn to speak a language, or the capacity to learn to understand spoken language that shuts? Or both? It's not quite clear from the way it's phrased here if maybe the inability to speak is only a consequ

A lot of companies seem to forget they have a whole team, and sometimes more than one, whose whole job is to talk to customers. Maybe you have one whose job is to convince new people to be customers. Maybe you have one who helps your custom

This is why I'm asking whose definition it is. Whose idea was it to start using this term, which had a useful and important definition for generations, to refer to something else now, and then act as though everyone should just know th

Scientific deception? It was a philosophy paper (in my original post). There weren't any scientific claims. I just made a statement in one paper that I had previously made about the same topic in a different paper. If I had taken two c

From what I understand, it's not the drug that's the limitation. You can buy semaglutide from all kinds of peptide vendors "for research use." It's the dosage delivery system that's the bottleneck, and convenie

When did newness become part of the definition? It's not on the etymological history of the word. It's not in dictionary definitions of the word. Where is this coming from?

The default assumption is that everything I do not cite is my own. I'm the one doing the writing.

Whose definition is this "newness"? Plagiarism is about passing other people's work off as your own. It comes from a Greek root about kidnapping, not about how old something is.

There's a difference between a school writing up its own set of conduct rules and plagiarism. Any two entities can agree to any set of terms they want. If a school says you have to sign a code of conduct to go there, and it prohibits

I never presented it as new. I presented it as mine. Any work I don't cite in a paper should be presumed to be mine.

I got accused of plagiarizing myself once, and I've never even figured out what that phrase means. Isn't the assumption supposed to be that anything I haven't cited is my idea? What does it matter if it's not the first

Replying to my own comment to add: You'd have to reassemble them by hand. Even if you find all the pieces, you have to arrange them properly, and then, what, tape them together? Who's going to accept that for spending?
