Potentially Wasted

Buy a portable AC unit and install it in your bedroom or living room window.

EDIT: I have this one that works well at least on a single room: https://www.amazon.com/Vremi-000-BTU-Portable-Conditioner/dp/B084H4B6NB?th=1

Weird article. Suddenly switches to talking about some other lady suing Netflix over an unrelated incident, and then the last half is only about that.

And how has this penalty incentivised any change in behavior? I assume the money will come from the school district, which is earmarked from local and federal taxes. So now there’s less money to pay for schools. In practice the school board may do as they wish with less funding until they are not reelected. Do you think they will be firing or docking pay of the people who are actually to blame?

If I tried this again today I would perish need to be rescued

But with discipline and training, this climb is very achievable! You don’t need to be a technical climber for this one.

Probably climbing up the West Ridge of Quandary Peak in CO. I was with 3 college friends. I didn’t expect the altitude to affect me as much as it did, but I got pretty winded. It was a little snowy and wet, so our holds were sketchy at times. Along the ridge it’s class 3 climbing, and the crux is a crack in a steep rock with a dangerous fall behind you. That was probably the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve ever had.

Thankfully we were greeted by some friendly mountain goats on our descent.

Here’s a good video of the climb. The harder stuff starts about 9 minutes in.

Tidal is great but IIRC it either doesn’t support Amazon Echo or the integration is poorly implemented.

Same. I also found that, for my usage, I wasn’t actually saving any money compared to the unlimited data plan.

Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?

What if someone draws their own CSAM and they’re terrible at drawing but it’s still recognizable as CSAM?

Yea it totally broke my Eternity client and I had to kill it and restart.

Thank you

Interesting! It’s possible your teacher was trying to keep things simple, especially since most English speakers probably couldn’t tell you what the subjunctive mood is.

I don’t think I learned about the subjunctive mood in Spanish class for 5 years, by which time I was in the 8th grade.

OP, thanks for asking. I feel seen.

1. Using the past tense instead of the subjunctive mood. “What if she was gone?” Nope. It should be “what if she were gone.” People (in the US) seem to get this wrong most of the time, except for a few common phrases like “If I were you, …”.
2. The words “whilst,” “amongst,” and “amidst.” I get that there is a certain history to these words, but I personally never use them as they seem like meaningless alterations. When I hear them, I roll my eyes, but I try not to judge too quickly.
3. “Irregardless”. It’s not a word.
4. “Could care less”. An oldie but a goodie?
5. Overuse of commas. I don’t like seeing them as strictly a way to introduce a pause in speech. Commas have specific grammatical purposes, and using them without such a purpose breaks my expectations as a reader.
6. Confusing “nauseous” and “nauseated”.

Watching this New York Post propaganda video yesterday was so upsetting. Comments reveal how racism/xenophobia is still very alive in the US.

Can you really call Matrix “fediverse software” if it doesn’t implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn’t federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?

I haven’t noticed. Of course there is sponsored content in the UI. I haven’t noticed it in the “auto DJ”, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it exists to some extent.

Call me basic, but I have no shortage of new music from Spotify and YouTube. Spotify recommendations plus shared playlists from friends. There are a handful of YT channels that host pretty consistent quality musicians, like NPR Tiny Desk, KEXP, Colors Studios, Zildjian Live.

I get usable results for “Boards of Canada”. You’ve got some personal problems happening.
