Random field trips for shits and giggles?. Especially impromptu ones. That’s a bad idea. It’s a recipe for “I didn’t wear the right shoes for laser tag”, or “I don’t want to go see that [event/show]”, or “I have a deadline I need to meet, I’m going to be stressed the whole time”

Field trips should be planned, paid, during business hours, and if not related to business function, optional.

A neutral field trip would be: Hey, we are going to a restaurant for lunch Friday. The company is paying. Your lunch break will be extended, but the extension will be paid.

A good field trip is one you can make relevant to the project, that’s a different story. Say you are working on a medieval/fantasy action adventure: go to an arms or art museum and see all the cool swords, spears, and armor. If it’s a farm sim, maybe tour a cider mill or a historical/working farm: learn about the tools and equipment they use, etc.

Yes, unvoiced “th” (think, thread, worth, thought) is more equivalent to þ whereas voiced “th” (that, then, worthy, though) is more equivalent to ð.

English is a Germanic language that got French shoved into it while stealing a little Norse. It was introduced to the printing press / movable type in the middle of a major vowel shift, and instead of adapting those tools to the language, major players at the time squeezed the language into an alphabet type that was already available from the continent.

The little bit between the toes IS a thong. The sandal and undergarment both get their name from a component in leatherworking. A thong is just a slender strip of leather or hide that is usually used to tie, bind, create loops, or otherwise fasten one thing to another. It also can refer to things that resemble the leather strip in form, function, or historical construction.

I think there is a passage in some translations of the Bible something like: “I am unworthy to undo the thong of his sandle”, which is not referring to flip-flops, but the ties or straps that hold the sandal on.

Calm down Diogenes. Go back to your Barrel.

Meter‽ We are more than well acquainted.

I did not have Gattaca on my bingo card…

Great for the kid, though. I wish them a long and prosperous life.

Yes, though it does not affect the nutritive content or prevent subsequent cultures from taking root, so you can still inoculate irradiated foodstuffs with live ginger bug, yeast, scoby, mother, etc. or open air ferment.

Windows 11 ended support for vertical taskbars and the default setting is along the bottom with the tasks centered. You can change the “taskbar alignment” setting to “left” but that just aligns the tasks to the left side of the bar. There apparently was a registry hack that allowed you to move the taskbar, but that got patched out by the time my work updated my workstation

Hey Windows, set my taskbar to run vertically along the left side of my screen. 🖕

1. We do! Or, at least we are allowed to. I’m mostly aware of it being done with meats.

2. The FDA requires that irradiated foods bear… the statement “Treated with radiation”…

3. The word “radiation” is scary to the general public. It conjures thoughts of glowing rocks and nuclear fallout. It makes folk imagine that their food might be radioactive.

1. It’s a new market. Well… new enough to not be well understood by the general public, or by the contractors getting into it.
2. It’s techy. That that attracts a certain…entrepreneurial personality.
3. The prospective customers are people who can already afford a home.
4. it can be pitched as “it’ll pay for itself”

Yes and no?

Stuff happened in the early 10’s, and the community forked LibreOffice which became the spiritual successor to OOO, while the OO trademark got transferred to Apache.

Is that a pangolin!

Is there a cucumber nearby?

Boring everyday stuff like reading notifications without pulling out your phone, watching videos on public transit, watching a tutorial while working on a project, reading a recipe while cooking, navigation, watching whatever people watch when they get high, text magnification for folks who need it…

Bonus: I created shortcut that runs this playlist, sets the volume low, turns the speed down, and sets a sleep timer. I also have an automation that runs the shortcut whenever my phone connects to my Bluetooth speaker and my phone is in sleep focus.
