Well, it is canon that the Abrahamic god kills children en masse sometimes. He does love a good genocide.

If you click through to it, the actual study uses Celsius. The Fahrenheit is just the journalist converting.

*Gasp* I told you that in confidence!

New full name: Theophrastus Bombastus

There’s no way around that unless we start spelling things a lot more differently around the English-speaking world. We have enough trouble with the relatively minor spelling differences between UK and US English as it is, increasing that confusion is far worse than having spelling decoupled from pronunciation.

Not even “vote Democrat,” she just urged people to vote period. And linked to Vote.org encouraging people to research what would be on their ballot. The fact that the right takes this as an attack on them isn’t surprising to anyone.

You’re being downvoted but I agree. None of this has anything to do with religion. A weird fiction that invokes “[the Christian] God provided the vaccine” is irrelevant and disrespectful to the humans that worked hard to create a vaccine.

It’s a pretty bad idea in general to bring up a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent “God” in the context of children dying of diseases anyway. What kind of God would allow children to die of cancer? Or any number of other currently incurable diseases?

One Dean Koontz book isn’t a great sample size. He writes a LOT and most of it isn’t very good, but every once in a while he gets it just right and puts out a really good one.

Though tbf, I haven’t re-read his stuff in probably 10 years so I don’t know if it holds up to modern scrutiny. Odd Thomas was always my favorite of his.

My wife and I also keep our Keepass passwords in each other’s Bitwarden vaults.

So to lose access we’d both have to simultaneously forget our Bitwarden passwords AND be locked out of any biometric login. I consider that sufficiently unlikely.

I doubt that would affect Wi-Fi, but what does affect it (at least 2.4 GHz frequencies) is microwaves. They operate at the same frequency and interfere with the router’s output waves.

My wife refused to believe me until I had her run a speed test and watch the signal drop when I started up the microwave, then rise again when I turned it off.

Ease of syncing across devices has me using an internet-based password manager (Bitwarden), but I keep a second local-only password manager (Keepass) that only stores my Bitwarden password. Just in case.

I was born in 1993 and I did that with my neighborhood friends too.

Killing is too easy. Beat them into submission and then make them sign your contract.

1d10 per beam that you can upgrade with your charisma modifier later and eventually get 4 beams! Much, much better deal IMO.

I’d feel a little different (still pissed) if it was a next door neighbor who extended their mow. But to cross the street and change someone’s property without permission is already hostile to me.

Not everywhere is in an HOA. And many people allow native vegetation on purpose to give local wildlife something to eat (see OP).

Did you sue? I’d have been livid enough to try to sue. IANAL, but at a minimum I would hope that would be trespassing.

Yeah, I’m very confused by this. Why do the users notifying IT have to do the training?

I’ve worked a help desk before, while after dozens of people sending it in we don’t really need it forwarded anymore, people don’t know that until we get the I’d still rather people forward it than click it. Ignore and delete is best since I guarantee someone will forward it to IT, but forwarding (even forwarding and asking) is never bad and demonstrates good awareness.

They used a too-generic label for tea but that covers all bases, while doing a couple very specific types of coffee that leave many bases uncovered.

What about people who like a little cream and sugar in their coffee but don’t do lattes? I make mine in a moka pot, add a pump of vanilla syrup and a splash of half & half.
