And with some degree of oversight, for the safety and health of the workers and their clients.

Its best to look for an actual photo of the space shuttle before you start considering anything. Posts like these are intentionally misleading

Edit: I misunderstood your question and tone, sorry, but everything below still stands!

They’re temporary buildings made of wood, plaster of Paris, and cement, built here as an 1898 World’s Fair.

“You are being lied to” heavily implies that the history of Omaha is being glossed over somehow (perhaps with respect to the Civil War? though it was a Union state, and the photo decades later than the war), and that this was the architectural style and decadence of Omaha. You are being lied to, every day, by politicians and advertisers and corporations - but the photo has no relevance to this. These buildings are little more than façades.

The only real issue with OpenStreetMaps is that the quality varies significantly town-to-town depending on how much love it’s had by local, knowledgable contributors. Road directions are one of the more complex things to configure in OSM, especially with complex multi-lane junctions, and so densely-populated areas and major roads are likely to be quite good, whereas more rural areas can be hit-and-miss.

I don’t know about other countries’ tests, but some in the UK are just nasal swabs, others are both tonsils and nose. The earlier tests - in my area, at least - were tonsil and nose swabs.

VS Code’s diff tools are killer. Comparison is smarter than most, and you can edit either file as you go.

I’m all for interesting side quests, but it does hurt immersion a little when High Priest Powervac impresses upon you how urgent it is that you stop The Great Finger Eater and save the galaxy, but you’ve also really got to gather nine forget-me-nots for Widow Stoop and honestly, they’re of equal importance.

Can’t speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.

Human. He’s just pudgy with unkempt hair and a beard. Here’s a different scan of the same piece - it’s black and white but less artefacted.

One candidate is 78 years old, types in all-caps, and forgets what he was saying halfway through a sentence. For my money, I think it’s a fair bet that the difference between a PDF and a native MS Word file eludes them.

I do still search for Reddit posts when looking for opinions about products, solutions to technical problems, etc - much as I don’t want to use the platform, the quality of content is generally much higher than Quora, the Microsoft Forum, and other open discussion hubs.

I refuse to be an active user, though. I know it needs to make money, but fuck their attitude to their users and moderators.

This was suspected since Bentley’s death back in April. I guess if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

A good point made badly. “Personally, bad English is such a turn off” would have made even less sense.

Rabies is virtually eradicated in the UK. Bats and imported animals are a potential risk, but the chance of a squirrel having rabies is nearly zero.

You are defending the murder of children.

Video of the speech from ABC. The award was for best scripted variety series. Music starts at 0:58, so I guess they’re allotted a minute.

The Sarah McLachlan joke is presumably because she’s an animal rights activist, and appeals for donations are normally set over somber orchestral music?

It’s a lot funnier without the caption.

I went up from the Jordan unto Bethel. And as I was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked me and said unto me, “Go up, thou bald head! Go up, thou bald head!” And I turned back and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth Ganon out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.

Robert Molesworth in a session on 12th August 1720:

in his Opinion, they ought, on this Occasion, to follow the Example of the ancient Romans, who having no Law against Parricide […] adjudg’d the guilty Wretch to be thrown alive, sew’d up in a Sack, into the Tyber. […] As he look’d upon the Contrivers and Executors of the villainous South Sea Scheme, as the Parricides of their Country, he should be satisfy’d to see them undergo the same Punishment.

No specific mention of snakes, but that was part of the Roman “punishment of the sack”.
