Happy cake day!
Happy cake day!
A different perspective - my grandparents grew up speaking French. Then the state passed a law saying only English in schools when they were young children. They would get hit on the hands with rulers for speaking French.
This was of course passed down to my parents and myself. But my mom still bitches about kids where I currently live being in school and unable to speak English because they’re new immigrants.
She doesn’t see the hypocrisy and it’s sad.
When I was younger and going to clubs, one club in particular always had drag queens just hanging out in the women’s restroom doing their makeup, talking, whatever, because it had a long mirror/makeup area.
They’d use the bathroom and we would share makeup tips and they were just so funny and having the best time and everyone loved them.
No one felt threatened ffs
IIRC it was around 10,000 French words that were introduced into English after that. That’s what we learned in school, anyway.
lol needed that laugh this morning
I did not know this - it definitely adds context. Thank you!
What was the fucking point of this? It seems so stupid and petty. Like why even go through the trouble?
I know there have been maritime issues between China and others within the last few years or so, but seriously - what is the fucking point of doing this?
This is a hard one. I think we can all agree that the people who need it should have it and the people who don’t…don’t…especially if their easy access to the drug pretty much guarantees a shortage of the drug for those who do need it.
I need it. And when there was a shortage just as we were forced to return to the office after Covid wfh, it was a nightmare. I don’t know for sure that this company was handing out prescriptions to whoever would pay or if they were mostly legitimate, but I imagine that it’s somewhere in between the two. And I do know that we will never be able to have a rational discussion about it between health professionals and the DEA/FDA, etc.
So, a lot of people who need it won’t get it either due to shortages or due to not being able to access a prescription for whatever reason.
Some people will continue to access it who don’t need it, but on a level that guarantees sporadic shortages for others.
No one wins other than those profiting either by selling prescriptions or by selling the drugs themselves at a much higher price than they paid for it using said prescriptions.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
I never knew about the prosciutto/ham, but tajin makes everything better!
My mom eats it with salt. It’s actually not bad, I enjoy it either way. The salt does give it an interesting flavor, so maybe try that if it might enable you to like it more.
I’ll allow it.
Not suspicious at all /s
What a dick. I love your descriptive reply - it’s so, so true.
Nope, 2 completely separate things. The only thing that was messed up in this case were the comm loops that were broadcast and maybe some of the simulated messages that are sometimes shown on one of the big screens in the room (that the sim was in, there are a few FCR’s (Flight Control Rooms)) - but I’m not sure if they showed anything visually from the sim. When you go to log on to an activity in MCC, you log on to the sim if you’re the one doing the sim. It’s a whole separate thing to log into the actual flight even though all of the computers are still in MCC to make the environment more realistic.
Edit: I completely misread this, lol, but no. The crew would close hatches if they needed to - there have been plenty of false smoke/fire alarms on ISS to wake them up while they were sleeping to troubleshoot. (One Shuttle flight in particular, I can’t remember which one, but it was docked, was particularly annoying wrt the ISS false detector alarms during sleep) and they were woken up and had to perform that emergency procedure. There is a lot that can be commanded from the ground, so it’s not “automated” in the way that you’re thinking. The ground has to send a command before anything happens. But closing hatches and such is done manually by the crew.
I guess considering I used to work in Mission Control and participate in these simulations, the language used here is something I notice probably more than others.
The simulation itself was broadcast. The astronauts and the sim team were in Houston. The alarm originated from a computer on the ground in Houston. The comm loops that were heard were from a sim on the ground in Houston. This headline would make more sense if NASA was troubleshooting alarms on ISS and configured things such that those messages would be on a private channel but messed up and the public heard them. In this context the fact that it was a sim is important.
Misleading headline. NASA accidentally broadcast a simulated ISS distress message.
Two very different things.
Thank you for letting me know that :)
I hope the devs can tweak a few minor things here and there while leaving the most useful functions alone, change the name, slap a new logo on it and be back in business.
But I know nothing about how the censorship and the add-ons to circumvent it work and odds are it won’t be that easy.
They’re the gift that keeps on giving.
Who hurt you, OP?
