I’m reminded of stories I’ve heard of graduate students hiding a note and some cash in the pages of their theses that they submit to the university, just to see if anyone bothers reading it and takes the cash. They return years later to find it still there.

With open source, the code is all there ready for review by anyone, as long as you have the technical knowhow and patience to review the code you use. But like reading the terms and conditions for everything we use, how many people actually take the time to go through all that code?

Am I crazy or are the shades of blue in the key of that graph completely different from the shades of blue in the graph itself?

Not sure if this applied universally, but I remember for years and years the common knowledge was that plastic caps are unrecyclable for some reason, and there used to be separate bins to toss them at recycling centers. That’s no longer the case, so keeping the cap connected to the bottle is one way to demonstrate that they should be recycled together.

(By “recycled” I mean most likely shipped to Southeast Asia to then most likely just find their way into the ocean)

Yeah, the justice system in the US is pretty fucked up. Provably so, with plenty of data made publicly available to back it up.

Administrative detentions can be longer. On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge’s signoff if they have proof of a crime.

This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a “black jail”/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison.

The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service.

The previous user is a bit off base with the labor camps idea (not to say that the Xinjiang detention camps for Uyghurs aren’t widely known), but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detentions/行政拘留 for smaller offenses which are kept statistically separate from prison counts.

If Raiden needs a source, the law covering administrative detentions can be reviewed here:

Just for some extra context, the character having a bad day was promised “a crown” (make me king) by this group of warlords he enlisted to support him. He proceeds to be such an unlikable shit for such a long time, they give him “a crown” by pouring molten gold on his head.

Usonian evokes that weird Frank Lloyd Wright concept of kitschy suburbia that the US could do with substantially less of.

I think it’s more the fact that kids weren’t really brought to busy markets/stores 100 years ago, nor were there busy streets full of cars everywhere. They stayed home or just in the local environment, and typically mom would also stay home to watch them and make sure they stayed out of trouble.

I’ve had that happen as well. Teams decides to give itself privileged access to the microphone and then forgets to surrender that privileged access when no longer needed.

Other way around for me. At least Zoom listens to whatever I choose for my primary audio device on my PC, Teams just does whatever the fuck it wants.

Agreed, those are my only two choices as well.

• I feel like the first two are basically the same thing and are also asking for a monkey’s paw sort of scenario to happen.

• I don’t want to stop shopping because there are things I want that can’t be obtained for free.

• I’m not the tallest, but I don’t feel any particular need to be any taller.

• I don’t want my emotions regulated to always be happy, because then you basically never truly are.

• Followers are overrated and creepy.

• And I’d never want to forget an ex because I’d end up losing a lot of good memories in the process.

Also great and valid advice.

A lot of the cleaning solutions used for dry erase boards are alcohol based, FWIW.

Actually this. Most permanent marker comes off with alcohol. If you ever accidentally write on a whiteboard with permanent marker, just wipe it with rubbing alcohol, let it sit for a few seconds, and then wipe it again and it comes off essentially like dry erase.

I do, those are definitely still temperatures.
