Did you read the comment you’re replying to? They already said it’s not your place to decide who does and doesn’t need a service dog. They didn’t say that to mean that it’s actually their place to do so.

Okay just for fun, I wanted to take a stab at trying to understand some of the examples mentioned in the article.

We will actualize a renewed level of cradle-to-grave credentialing.

We’re gonna do a really good job of making passwords (or degrees?) that last a lifecycle.

By getting our friends in the tent with our best practices, we will pressure-test a renewed level of adaptive coherence.

By convincing people we can do our jobs well, we’re gonna prove we’re really good at listening.

For instance, a leaked 2009 Pepsi marketing presentation with language such as “The Pepsi DNA finds its origin in the dynamic of perimeter oscillations…our proposition is the establishment of a gravitational pull to shift from a transactional experience to an invitational expression …”

uhhh okay this is tough. how about:

Pepsi is known for waves (maybe lmao? i genuinely don’t know what perimeter oscillations is trying to say). We want to make people feel like buying Pepsi isn’t just buying something but is an invitation.

Our device strategy must reflect Microsoft’s strategy and must be accomplished within an appropriate financial envelope

oh this actually isn’t that hard: “Corporate cut our budget.”

Basically “tell us your secrets” or “show you’re not hiding anything”.

Back in the day, westerners thought samurai would open their kimonos to show they’re not hiding a sword. That wasn’t really a thing but that’s why it’s a phrase (or was anyway)

Lol love the old soviet car analogy, good lada memories but mannnn that one was a death trap

Give AnyOffice a try, I like it cuz it just works

I really wish writing a headline like this would make an editor unemployable.

I have no idea people hate on cursive (beyond the normal anti-intellectual reasons of hating the idea of teaching people things that aren’t immediately applicable to industry).

Cursive didn’t come out of nowhere, it fills a legitimate need, and it’s a skill that expresses your individual creative self in an activity you might do everyday (maybe more!) It does wonders for your self-confidence and happiness in life to write on paper well. Paper and pen has been humanity’s companion for centuries if not millennia, and one doesn’t do themselves any favors by intentionally shunning their own handwriting ability. And you dont have to pick between using a keyboard and learning cursive: just do both.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. If you (correctly) think her story needs to be told, why shouldn’t it be told to blind people and people with low vision?

Elena, like many other journalists, would likely agree with making information more accessible – both through transparency and accessibility.

Look at the bright side: they’re self selecting people who it’s okay to bully

Yep, they divorced and then mom married into the Jenners. Kim et al. were born when Robert was the dad though, so no last name change for them. The kids that came about after would have been called Jenner.

Her dad is Robert Kardashian, who helped defend OJ for murder. Her wanting to become a trial lawyer isnt that surprising.

edit: wrong robert, though Shapiro was also on the team

I’m not American so I’m speaking out of turn. But could it be resourcing?

Curriculums have to be made, and that sort of thing takes time and money. So I imagine it’s easier to take a curriculum for European Spanish that already exists and just keep using it under the assumption that it’s “close enough” for students to jump to Mexican Spanish from there, rather than reinvent the curriculum for Mexican Spanish.

Right target, wrong reason: Testing for HAM makes complete sense. It’s government imposed to get licensed, and that’s because the equipment required for HAM could be easily modified to interfere with other electronics or run up against communications laws. HAM being self-regulated (in that everyone is a snitch if they find out you’re operating without a license) is only going to be possible if everyone is a snitch. Also, everyone has to share the radio spectrum, so you should know how to be a good actor before you get the chance to go on air.

But there is gatekeeping in HAM in how few beginners focused resources there are. At least in Canada, I found only one set of books that taught the latest HAM exam and one series of YouTube videos (thanks Ylabs!)

I have found very few “your first radio” resources. Hunting for that sort of thing is an intimidating experience, full of jargon and acronyms (not stuff like “VHF” and stuff you need for the exam, but model descriptions and stuff). Lots of sites and radio club web pages aren’t kept up to date, and it’s a lot to ask of new people that they come out to field day for in person meetups when it’s just a bunch of strangers.

Just installed it and woof, this is very good looking. I was waiting for K9 mail to get a few more updates before making it my daily driver, but this works really well already.

Also love an app with an FAQ that actually answers questions I’m thinking lol

I live in Saskatchewan, which is as land locked as it gets in Canada. And for some reason, my city has a Red Lobster. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about going to it because who would expect a seafood restaurant all the way out here to be good? I have no clue how they’re making enough money to operate.

(Also, nice pfp! 🐾 )

That section does not describe how it does not break the Goldwater Rule. I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion based on what it reads in the section.

It lists specific instances where the rule and commentary on Trump intersect, as well as citing commentators that disagree with the APA about how the Goldwater Rule is applied with Trump.

I’m not defending Trump, but don’t statements like these run counter to the Goldwater Rule?

The rust compiler holds your hand, wraps you in blankets, makes you hot chocolate, kisses you on the forehead before it gently and politely points out what you did wrong and how you can solve it step-by-step. It would never think of something as heinous as swearing at you, shame on you for insulting my wife’s honour like this.

Mixing tabs and white spaces in 2024 is categorically a you problem lmao

Furry here and just want to say: isn’t this entire discussion super disrespectful to the important job that animal control personnel actually do?

Like, animal control has an important role in protecting communities from animals and helping animals that are injured. They shouldn’t have to be dragged into this stupid outrage farming.

I might be already exposing myself as an emacs user, but I think Lisp naming convention is pretty reasonable. I use it in other languages as far as their language rules allow me

• if a variable or function is a predicate (as in if it tests if something is true or not), append p or _p/-p

• variables and functions both have lisp case variable-name-here. Sub for _ in languages that dont allow - in names

• unused or unexposed variables are prefixed _ .

• top level packages get naming rights. So if I’m making cool-package then variables or functions that are specific to it are cool-package-variable (especially if it is exposed to other packages). cool-package/variable is also good if allowed.

• otherwise, separate namespaces with /. So there’s main-function and my/main-function. If / is reserved, then I assume the language has a way of segmenting namespaces already and just default to that since _ or - would get ambiguous here.
