I feel embarrassed to say this, but I straight up have to use reminders to go “hey, talk to X person” and set them up in advance. Because otherwise our chats will just be me going “happy birthday” or “happy new year” and that’s it for the year.
It’s not that my friends aren’t important to me, its just that it never occurs to me naturally to be the one reaching out. Can’t tell if I’m a bad friend or if I just have zero object permanence for people lmao

No?
I’ve never gotten shit from people for having a strong work/life balance and boundaries. Unless you’re being really dickish and combative when you’re communicating boundaries, most people are not going to give you grief about them.
Oh hey, fellow org user!
I’m in the same boat. I don’t do calendaring that much, but agenda is what I use when I’m time blocking tasks.
My main complaint is that I can’t get it to sync to my Google calendar. I have tried org-gcal but the gpg encryption never works for me so I just gave up. I would have liked it to have easier viewing on mobile, but that’s minor enough that I don’t care. Orgzly with notifications on lets me know when its time to do something anyway.
I live in Saskatchewan, which is as land locked as it gets in Canada. And for some reason, my city has a Red Lobster. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about going to it because who would expect a seafood restaurant all the way out here to be good? I have no clue how they’re making enough money to operate.
(Also, nice pfp! 🐾 )
Here’s a primer based on my own understanding. Anyone can feel free to correct if I mess something up and I can edit my post, I’m not a Muslim myself:
Ramadan is a month on the Islamic calendar (I think the ninth one?).
one of the pillars of Islam is that during Ramadan, Muslims need to fast from food and drink while the sun is up. Other pillars are things like praying five times a day, going on pilgrimage to Mecca, and donating a portion of your wealth annually. So it’s no exaggeration to say that Ramadan is extremely important to Muslims.
I believe the rationale for Ramadan is that it is an observance of Mohammed’s revelation.
there are exceptions to fasting requirements. Off the top of my head are people who are sick, women on their period, and if it would put yourself at serious risk of harm by fasting.
Muslims use a lunar calendar (measures months by looking at the phases of the moon). Because the moon phases and procession of the earth around the sun are not in sync, this means the months on the Islamic calendar don’t line up with the seasons. So Ramadan can be in the winter or summer on certain years, and therefore sun up/sun down times can change.
The rust compiler holds your hand, wraps you in blankets, makes you hot chocolate, kisses you on the forehead before it gently and politely points out what you did wrong and how you can solve it step-by-step. It would never think of something as heinous as swearing at you, shame on you for insulting my wife’s honour like this.
My conspiracy theory is that the writers had an idea for their own show, but execs made them slap on the Foundation label for notoriety. Because the parts that aren’t in the books, like the Genetic Dynasty, are great – probably the best parts. It feels like that was the actual story here, then everything else had to be put in after the fact to justify the universe they put it in.
I stopped watching after season 1 because the “special powers held by individuals” angle felt like a slap in the face to the theme of the books. Apparently season 2 is better but I’m still a lil bitter so I don’t think I can do it lol
No, still on the restaurants side. Like yes, it was a mistake and they should have presented it earlier, but asking for a burger to be done medium isn’t a common thing here in Canada. They might not have thought about the waiver until then.
Edit: my point here is that this article is presenting the waiver itself as some kind of wrongdoing or indictment about the restaurant’s quality/safety. To me, this seems wrongheaded and the timing of the waiver being brought out seems more like “whoops we forgor” thing than a “desperately covering our ass” thing – since again, medium burgers aren’t really a thing here.
I’m not going to fault the hotel for trying their best to please customer requests and the customer being Pikachu shock faced when he’s asked to not sue the restaurant for accommodating his McDeath Burger extra value meal.
I thought thats what’s you’re supposed to do. Wrap the blade in the wax wrap it came in, then break it up by bending it in the wax before throwing it away in the trash (still in the wax).
Furry here and just want to say: isn’t this entire discussion super disrespectful to the important job that animal control personnel actually do?
Like, animal control has an important role in protecting communities from animals and helping animals that are injured. They shouldn’t have to be dragged into this stupid outrage farming.
Cheers, thanks for the link!
My confusion is more “why gloves in particular?” Couldn’t this have been used for cloth making in general?
I don’t know what this item is called, so I can’t look up its size. Is it too big to be used for cloth making at all?
I was going to say, this looks very similar to knitting circles that are available today (I use them all the time). Those knobs and holes make me immediately think that this is used for fibre or knot work of some kind. Rope seems understandable, but I can’t tell from the picture if that is made from metal or clay. No issues if it was metal, but I would figure that clay wouldn’t hold up to the rope pulling and pressing against it in any intensive application.
I am curious as to why OP decided this is unlikely to be used for “knitting gloves”. The Romans may not have practiced knitting as we understand it now since that came about in the middle ages, but knitting isn’t the only form of knotwork that can produce cloth.
Hey thanks for this! I used f droid for a while but was always meh on the UI and how clunky it is. I used this for a bit and I already like it waaaay more. Cheers!
They’re also useful for separating multiple lists when using a comma would make it look like an item is an extended list.
So let’s say I want to express:
"My contacts are:
Jessica, Cook (as in a job title, not a name)
James, MD (as in the professional certification, not the name ‘MD’)
Doug, ABC (maybe to show that Doug works at ABC)"
If I said:
“My contacts are Jessica, Cook, James, MD, Doug, ABC.”
There’s no clear indication of what is a list member and what is a new list. But this:
“My contacts are Jessica, Cook; James, MD; Doug, ABC.”
is a bit clearer. (There are probably better examples but I’m shooting from the hip here lol)
I agree with the sentiment of this post, but these numbers are silly.
$150m would barely build a bus fleet transit system, nevermind the maintenance, operating, and personnel costs for the fleet (and completely forget about actual long term transit solutions like rail at that cost figure).
And $1b stadiums are outliers – our city got into controversy over our stadium which costed around $250m. Not many municipalities are loaded enough to be getting into billion dollar capital expenditure decisions.
For what it’s worth, the reputation of the BrandonM comment on the Dropbox post is pretty overblown compared to what was actually written. The post highlighted some concerns that were legitimate in 2007. And the tone of the comments were supportive of dropbox – the poster acknowledged the feedback and offered use cases that still would lean towards Dropbox, and BrandonM responded that they made sense and wished them luck.
Pretty much yes. The only one I’m not 100% on (besides the scout skin, since that was after I stopped playing) is the engineer prosthetic. I feel like that weapon came out a while after TF2 was made (but I can’t check that right now so don’t take my word for it).
Right target, wrong reason: Testing for HAM makes complete sense. It’s government imposed to get licensed, and that’s because the equipment required for HAM could be easily modified to interfere with other electronics or run up against communications laws. HAM being self-regulated (in that everyone is a snitch if they find out you’re operating without a license) is only going to be possible if everyone is a snitch. Also, everyone has to share the radio spectrum, so you should know how to be a good actor before you get the chance to go on air.
But there is gatekeeping in HAM in how few beginners focused resources there are. At least in Canada, I found only one set of books that taught the latest HAM exam and one series of YouTube videos (thanks Ylabs!)
I have found very few “your first radio” resources. Hunting for that sort of thing is an intimidating experience, full of jargon and acronyms (not stuff like “VHF” and stuff you need for the exam, but model descriptions and stuff). Lots of sites and radio club web pages aren’t kept up to date, and it’s a lot to ask of new people that they come out to field day for in person meetups when it’s just a bunch of strangers.
