Yes that's it for a while. Just be kind and gentle to it and to each other. It goes so fucking fast man. I have tears welling up because my last just turned 5 and so that part is gone forever. They're just a lump. But they are a delicate, rapidly growing lump that is purely absorbing one thing, how you treat it.

The only advice I can give is that it's 100% better to have it cry on its own for 5 minutes than for your exhausted brain to lose its temper with a shit-producing potato. Look after yourself too. We evolved to have ten other people around who would hold the baby when you needed a break.

Did you commit to this before you knew what a Cornetto was?

"I thus have no compelling reason to continue interacting with you" ... I bid them farewell ... I have never gotten a follow-up after that

It's great that you respond like this because then the hiring manager can show their boss this and both be happy they dodged a fedora bullet

Much more likely to just be useful dirt they can keep on people and use it to deny or cancel their visa should they want or need to.

Irish people are very vocally sympathetic towards Palestine and other occupied territories because of our own history (and present).

"No more Irish J1 students" won't go down well in Boston. "This guy is a Hamas supporter, deport/deny them!" will.

Crimes are (ostensibly) supposed to be proven beyond doubt, so yes, it can be (and often is, I work for a telecom) used evidence, for both prosecution and defence.

Yes but

• it doesn't let me charge and play at the same time
• I could hot swap in and out batteries, but it doesn't report battery percentage
• It also doesn't auto-pause when the battery dies, like other systems do
• It runs through them quickly
• it acts finicky/unpredictable when the battery is very low, rather than reaching a consistent threshold and stopping working
• In combination with a bug/anti-feature I've posted about previously, my Steam Deck sees it as a new controller every time the batteries are replaced, despite the Bluetooth MAC/BDA not changing.

For me, I want one with internal rechargeable (and replaceable) batteries, more reliable Bluetooth, and multi-device targeting (ie those 1,2,3 toggles you see on stuff like mouse/keyboards - I use mine on my Steam Deck and also on my desktop - dont want to mess with pairing each time. Plus if I end up with with a Switch 2, the trackpad would be interesting for mouse mode if those could connect (no idea)).

As as to be said somehow literally every time these headlines are published, nominations for any Nobel prize are kept secret and announcing that you've submitted a nomination if anything makes them less likely to be accepted as it harms the nomination by harming the image of the nominator. Anyone can say they've nominated anyone for a Nobel Peace Prize and they can't be proven or disproven for 50 years.

Oh and "Pakistan" can't nominate anyone for a Nobel Prize. All you need to be a nominator for the Nobel Peace Prize is to be an elected official or a university professor, but you do have to be a person. The likely of a headline not bothering to distinguish between a person and their 250 million people nation seems to increase linearly with distance east from the Greenwich meridian.

Please remember this when that Norwegian 'scientist' nominations Trump or Elon or whoever in October like he does every year.

Your election season is 2 years long and is somehow measured by how much money is spent reaching voters.

It is absolutely normal when not campaigning to work with people who can actually effect change, particularly if the masses seem more intent on vying for virality of their protest sign selfies and not upsetting anyone rather than actually resisting fascism.

Half the time I think when American liberals say they want to "resist fascism" I think they understand that to mean that they're fighting the urge to actively take part in it.

Grass, famously, does not die when it's cut. In fact to some degree, grass benefits from being grazed on, as grazers in a meadow will eat everything - leaving grass that is ready to grow back quickly, and severely harmed weeds and shrubs that will either die or be significantly set back while the grass quickly overshadows it.

Your code can compile while you're in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a "what went wrong" about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they'll review this retro's action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items
