Love that “disruptive” is a valid term for companies like that.

Reading this made me wonder how metallic lithium is stored and, guess what, it’s stored in oil. So, which label do you use for a container holding lithium and oil? I’m guessing you need two, one for the lithium and one for the oil. And here we are.

No, I don’t think this building is filled with lithium and covered in oil, but I suspect there is more than one container containing metallic lithium covered in oil.

And every time one runs into a wall at fatal speeds, two slower ones appear.

Yeah, it’s funny because of how terrible everyone is. I’m laughing because it’s outrageous, not because the characters are going through relatable hijinks.

Yearning for the mines.

I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I’ve written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn’t a bunch of data she’d deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.

Lol this is the typical takeaway. A better result would be to not engage in illegal practices and then it doesn’t matter if you put it in writing, but that’s not how you become a billionaire.

Yes, but if you increase the funding, they will say “Why is science so expensive?”

Why can’t we spend $20 billion on a full-scale reactor that may very well not work? Why is science so slow?

Kind of my point, but a set of a dozen chairs like that isn’t so much about creativity as it is cost. Still beautiful imo, although i still prefer more minimalist styles in furniture.

I agree with all of this except the part about making things pretty being a waste. Beauty has its own value, although far too often for pieces like this it was more for bragging rights as you said.

I wasn’t sure how big a deal this whole ruling was, but it’s going to impact every trans person every time they need to use the bathroom in public. That seems a big enough deal to me.

Also, a number of quotes used the phrase “women are women and men are men.” If someone reading this agrees with that statement, please review the chart below. There’s a whole lot of ambiguity between the classic XX woman and XY man.

Pretty accurate. You have no idea how many minutes there are in the third hour after midnight when your kid won’t stop crying.

25% of Canadians are no longer virgins by 12, which means that 12 is too late to start discussing it for 25% of the audience.

I started talking to my kids about it when they were about 5, and made it a policy to answer any question they asked at the level of detail they asked, with the exception of personal details in my own sex life. I think it worked out pretty well, even if it wasn’t exactly comfortable. Did have to say to one of my now-married kids that I’m happy they have a healthy sex life, but I’d prefer the sex paraphernalia not be left in the common areas when we stop by.

It isn’t food, but you can always try this. There is even formal research. You’re welcome.

This is me to a large degree. Give me a cue and a whole encyclopedia is at your fingertips. Just say think of something and I’m at a loss.

Lol I played Wizard 101 with my kids. I had the most amazing solo life/balance deck.

You still can if you want, but maybe don’t stand to use a bidet.

That guy was exposed to a lot more radiation than was safe or necessary to make that video. Running an unshielded radiation generator for fun is a special kind of insane. Not saying he’s going to die of cancer, but if he gets cancer he’s probably going to think of this video.

And get the camera out of the radiation beam!

To tack on this. She definitely needs therapy, classic trauma-based coping mechanisms, and the depression may be because of that or exacerbating that. I’d also say, due to natural biases, that we may not have as much negative info on him, but that’s okay.

I think he’s almost done and she’s either almost done or done. Probably the best option is to get out sooner with a little less drama and take some lessons from this. The alternative is to keep trying to fix it until all feeling is gone, then break up with a nicely burned bridge in the background.
