This was sold by Foveon, which had some interesting differences. The sensors were layered which, among other things, meant that the optical effect of moire patterns didn’t occur on them.

Did your dream self say, “At least it isn’t InstaCart”?

Part of how scissors are design is for there to be a natural tendency to pull the blades together when you press with your thumb.

On a reladed note, if you’re left-handed, get a pair of left-handed scissors. There are two reasons for this. First, you will be amazed at how much easier it is to cut with the correct scissors. Second, you can have your friends who don’t think having the correct scissors is a big deal try them and see how wrong they are.

Well, I’m in Canada, so the standards are already higher as far as quality goes, and our regulatory agency is still in place for oversight. I’d say it’s worth it for them to keep the quality up so product lasts longer, but I’m sure some bean counter will figure out a reason for how allowing the milk to spoil sooner makes the company a buck, so we’ll see.

This is pretty close to my experience. It wasn’t a hospital, kind of a crisis-level group home situation. The biggest downside was not being allowed to take a walk in the park across the street to stave off boredom, next was being monitored to take meds I wanted to take. Other than that, it was the most peaceful time of my adult life. I had 3 days to not worry about a single thing, interrupted one night when a screaming patient had to be removed from the premises. Then I had a few more days to start figuring out what I needed to change in my life to never have to go back.

Option number 4. The sanitary standards for packaging milk are very high in North America. This drastically reduces the risk of contamination after pasteurization, which allows our milk to last quite a while. It isn’t as sterile as UHT milk, but it tastes more natural.

They had milk in 1.3 L bags (sold in packs of 3 for 4 L) in Manitoba about 35 or 40 years ago.

This doesn’t appear to be made by the people from either the Raspberry Pi Foundation or Raspberry Pi Holdings.

If you want to do that as well, don’t be surprised if she’s far more effective at her job, which probably isn’t in the best interests of America, than you or they expected her to be.

Damn. You Republicans sound less sane every day.

Sure, Republican. We’ll, at least I know you weren’t reading my history, or this comment thread, before you spouted that nonsense.

The whole point of everything I’ve said in this post is, people you disagree with can still be competent, and denying such is only going to make you less prepared when they exercise that competence in ways you disagree with.

Given the quaint physics of circles, the expansion of a ring of silicate around the earth would be quite noticeable. C = 2×pi×r, which can be converted to r = C/(2×pi). Plugging in those two values gives us

40000/(2×pi) = 6366.1977 km

40008/(2×pi) = 6367.4710 km

So, taking this ring from 0° to 50° would cause it to rise 1.2 km into the air, assuming it kept its integrity.

A simpler way to write this is

(40008 - 40000)/(2×pi) or 4×pi.

A tiny difference, relatively speaking, but a quite notable difference given the context.

It’s worth keeping in mind that “problematic” could mean surviving to adulthood along with one of your elder brothers. Either way, this meant that it was quite possible to have people who were not on board with celibacy being required to be celibate through no real choice of their own. Or not, which is far more messy.

I didn’t make strong opinions one way or another, except over the quality of the journalism. Yes, the comparison with AOC is apt, because both references to their work history are to the least important part.

I’m not going over all the other points, I’ve covered them elsewhere in more detail than this article has. That’s my main point. They are being far too dismissive of someone, and focusing on irrelevances rather than legitimate concerns. If you want to do that as well, don’t be surprised if she’s far more effective at her job, which probably isn’t in the best interests of America, than you or they expected her to be.

Please provide a quote where I put words in your mouth. Just one.

In the legal world, this is called a slam dunk. Normally, with something this obvious, there’s a settlement out of court because it hurts less. There may be some reasons this cant happen in this case, given one of the parties is one flavor or other of government, but it won’t happen because of who’s doing it.

Ah, reading comprehension is hard I guess.

I need to preface this because you people seem to like to argue from a place of ignorance. She was acting in this role before, under Trump, in 2020. We don’t need to question how well she can do in this role, she’s already done it before, we can just check her record.

Yes, I’m saying the lawyer who has worked for the government before, in this very role, is probably competent. I’m saying her additional business has no bearing on her competence, but may impact her ability to give the appropriate time to this role, which is not a matter of competence but prioritization. The difference between can and will, if you like.

If you, or the authors of this article wanted to question her credibility to handle this role, they could have looked at her history of how she handled this job previously. Or, they could, you know, talk about her owning a salon chain with phrasing like “part-time salon owner”.

I also didn’t say that either Trump or Elon are competent, what I said is they both had businesses while doing jobs that are at least as significant, so waving that point alone as a red flag is ridiculous. Of course, they didn’t, they tried to diminish her competence by describing her as a part-time salon owner, which is incredibly disingenuous.

You may think the cheap shots are fun, and sure the other guys are doing it, but what’s the point of that? Are you going to convince the MAGA crowd to turn on her with that? Do you think providing that ammo is going to help their opponents when talking to anyone else when it’s so skewed as to be immediately adjacent to outright lies?

I also find it incredibly amusing how you keep acting like I’m defending her. I think I’ve ascribed malice to her in every comment in this chain, but I’ve also said she’s probably competent given her past accomplishments, but since I don’t live in a fantasy world and can recognize the positive attributes of people I don’t like or agree with, I must be a troll, rather than as a warning to take this lady seriously because she’s far more capable if finding a path to her goals than her boss is.

tldr; the subject is likely competent, she will likely do terrible things as part of her job competently and with malice, the journalist is certainly biased and incompetent, opponents of Trump should expect better from their information sources, and people need to learn that just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re incompetent or vice versa.

Moreover, the OP is a lemmy.ca account, and may very well be French Canadian. And guess what, the currency sign is trailing in French.

I didn’t say she was a good choice, I said she was generally competent. And her being a salon owner has no bearing one way or another, just like AOC having been a bartender has no bearing on her qualifications to be in Congress. AOC’s degree in international relations and economics is what gives her credibility in her role. Likewise, Namdar’s law degree, having practiced law, and having been acting Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs are what gives her credibility in this role.

If you want to bring up whether she will have enough time on her day to perform her government role well while running a business, that’s a great argument. But if that was the argument being made, they wouldn’t have diminished her role. She isn’t merely a part-time salon owner. She is a full-time government employee who is also the owner of a chain of salons. One makes her look unsuited to the role, the other makes her look like she may have too much on her plate. So, do you think it was an accident they cast her in the light they did? And even if they did try to portray her as too busy to do the job justice, how is that any different from Elon and DOGE, or the President?

Again, if you’re questioning her competence, you are being led by the nose down what is likely a false path. This doesn’t diminish what she can accomplish given her likely malice, seeing as how she has decided to, once again, work for Trump in this role.

So, you consider an author of Project 2025, a lawyer, former diplomatic consul, and owner of a salon chain to be incompetent? The whole salon chain thing is brought in as she isn’t serious, when she’s running a business as well as being a fully employed lawyer. This is just as disingenuous as referring to AOC as a former bartender.

I don’t question her competence, just like I don’t question her malice.

There are a number: gravy seals, tacticool, mall ninjas, more I’m sure. Just lots of ways to say wannabes.

Wikipedia lists about 5 other uses, some of which would probably still be relevant today if we didn’t have cheaper ways to make perfume. Silly wise men, giving expensive, light, easily liquidated assets to people they believed were going to be fugitives. As well as some much heavier, but very easily liquidated assets. Poorest choices imaginable.
