Is it still a DEI hire if it’s also a glass cliff?

Ohh, that makes sense. When I read “brown bread” I think whole grain, not toast, so I didn’t make that connection.

That becomes more of a philosophical exercise: If a disaster occurs in Alaska when no one is there to experience it, is it still a disaster?

Should I feel proud or embarrassed that I have no clue what “your kids are brown bread” means?

To be fair, it is also a huge state, with a lot of surface area. So it’s not unreasonable that they catch more natural disasters than a tiny state.

What is unreasonable is that it’s handled terribly every time. You’d think all those disasters would eventually gain them some experience.

Makes sense. You don’t get high off your own supply. Norway is all about electric vehicles, too.

Lone Wolf type attacks do have a much lower chance of being discovered, but that doesn’t change that just running at a group of armed agents is dumb. Planting a bomb or sniping them at a distance seems like something with a higher chance of success. Or even a suicide vest, since surviving certainly wasn’t a goal for the guy.

If you’re already breaking up over text, you probably aren’t in a position to worry much about how they interpret your typography. And if they haven’t noticed how you normally write there’s even less reason to worry about it.

I think she may have forgotten about the felony she probably racked up by sneaking back in after being deported.

It’s okay! There are no hurricanes in the forecast ever since we stopped forecasting them, so everything is fine.

There’s less and less reason to do it (and it’s never 5). On systems without floating point you might want to round it a bit, but only if the specific thing you’re doing allows it, and even then you’re more likely to do a fixed-point approach by using e.g. 314 and dividing by 100 later, or adjusting that value a bit so you can divide by 128 via bitshift if you’re on a chip where division is expensive. However, in 2025 you almost certainly should have picked a chip with an FPU if you’re doing trigonometry.

And while rounding pi to 3 or 4 is certainly just a meme, there are other approximations which are used, like small-angle approximations, where things like sin(x) can be simplified to just x for a sufficiently small x.

Which country is this? I think both American and European (or at least Norwegian) washers use standard plugs (although American dryers do not), so I’m just curious which areas use something custom for that.

A regular plug should be able to supply a washer with power, but dryers are a different story in countries using 110V power.

Love how you took the time for a point-for-point rebuttal while ignoring that I already acknowledged all of that:

Most of this can be achieved in other ways (like a smart plug measuring the current draw and a simple monthly reminder), but non-techies want turnkey solutions.

• It can tell you it’s done, so you notice the notification after a couple hours instead of finding musky clothes a day or two later
• It can tell you it’s time to do the self-cleaning cycle
• If you’re doing something unusual, like washing reusable diapers which need extra rinse cycles, you can upload a custom program for that to the washer
• Even more unusual, someone had stacked units and was too short to reach the buttons on the washer, so they liked to start it via the app instead of getting a stool

Most of this can be achieved in other ways (like a smart plug measuring the current draw and a simple monthly reminder), but non-techies want turnkey solutions.

I can’t see any reason to have WiFi on your dryer, though.

They have electricity with variable rates, and were waiting for the price to go down before enabling the AC.

The edges of the panels not lining up at all should be a hint. Watterson was only allowed to get creative with the panels on the larger Sunday strips, and he made it look good when he did.

[email protected] ser størst ut, så tipper den er en god start. Jeg tror ikke det finnes instanser spesifikt for Norge.

I unfortunately think a lot of people have those feelings. I don’t think I’m well equipped to help you deal with that, but I really hope you have the means to talk to a therapist about it. Every person is worthy of love, and that includes you. I really hope you will be able to see that some day.

I honestly think he’s still team Trump and always was, he just dropped the mask and is now trying desperately to put it back on to save his stock.
