I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Work/life separation is propaganda from the Capital class that wants Workers to each be uniform machine parts.
Some compartmentalization is fine, but don’t forget to also be holistically you sometimes, and never substitute your employer’s (or anyone else’s) judgement for your own.

Well, maybe I’ll try again in the future but I don’t currently own a Samsung.
I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).
Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation – it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context “harder” is a definitely a more useful translation.
“tres bien” is “very good”
“si vous plait” is like “please”
“plus fort” is like “more strength”
I’ve never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from “throwaway” French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.
So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Miller was one of those “Skinny guys [that] fight 'til they’re burger.”
I thought he might have been the source of Elmu’s black eye for a while.
I disagree that an IQ restriction would be an improvement. It would just be another tool used by authority to marginalize. Competency tests have been used as such in both the U.S. South and Nazi Germany.
Improving the electorate and having the output of the voting process reflect their will is the only way forward.
I think the subway stabbing is the main focus of the Cracked video I linked. But, maybe it’s a different subway stabbing.
IQ is a poor metric (for just about anything).
We do need to work on election reform so that our elected representatives are more representative. Getting more people to vote (turn out in the U.S. is fairly low), avoiding partizan gerrymandering, using something other than FPtP.
the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion

“protect and serve” is copaganda, since SCOTUS ruled on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia in late 1981. “Fun” animated video to describe same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAfUI_hETy0
Nobel prize-winning anti-parasitic for humans, yes.
Several studies show no statistically significant effect on COVID-19 length or severity.
You can do single-blind. You do prep, anesthetize, then open the card that decides if the surgery continues, or if the patient is simply awakened at the expected time.
You can also do it for surgeries that use locals, but then the surgical staff has to do a lot of miming/acting instead of actual cutting.
Medlife Crisis did a couple of Placebo effect videos, and mentioned that he participated in a single-blind stent study.
I don’t know how you’d do double-blind.
I saw one that claimed “plumber approved” and it made me so mad we don’t have meaningful laws against deceptive advertising.
I’d like really sewer-safe wet wipes. If tried several bidets and did not like them, definitely worse than wipes IMO.
Rachet theory. R moves one direction; D refuses to move in the other.
It’s not entirely false, but it’s also not the whole story. Voting D is better than staying home. It might not be better than direct action – but given the size of the voting window, it’s probably not completely eclipsed by your activism. (If it is, watch out for the FBI and keep working for a better world, comrade.)
The Nightwatchman is against anyone that’s not A Union Man.
Tom! Save the hammer for The Man.

We’re at work, you can just call me “Big Tuna”.
