Its not “targeted at old school”, it’s an open, extensible protocol.

If devs focused on extending the protocol instead of building an app to handle things like this, it could do it, everywhere.

There are currently over 100 extensions.

He went from unamused to judgemental.

I never once heard “an old person” (whatever that means) mis-pronounce “meme”.

And I’ve been around long enough as an adult to pre-date common usage of the term as its known today.

Haha, beat me to it!

I’ve seen them go outside in shorts and t-shirts when it breaks 0, and washing their cars when it breaks 32.

She tried to steal Jim’s body and failed.

So they promote her to ship’s doctor 30 years later?

Why would they?

Oswald never shot anyone - he couldn’t have.

PWA app only is a big no sale.

As much as I dislike dedicated apps for things that don’t need it, THIS is something that needs it.

Still staggering to me that XMPP isn’t the default, since it was used in many chat apps in the late 90’s.

Thanks for the links - interesting stuff

Shit happens in manufacturing.

Some day you should tour both a really modern facility and a very old one (I’ve done work in both).

Sometimes damaged stuff slips through, nothing more.

Contact them via the info on the tube. I’ve never had anything but a good response when doing so, the QA Dept and maintenance want to know when the system drops the ball so they can improve it.

Wow, never knew gunsel meant homosexual, and just rewatched The Maltese Falcon the other day!

Edit - just checked the etymology and look at that!:

gunsel(n.) by 1910, American English underworld slang, from hobo slang, “naive young boy,” but especially “a catamite;” specifically “a young male kept as a sexual companion, especially by an older tramp,” from Yiddish genzel, from German Gänslein “gosling, young goose” (see goose (n.)). The secondary, non-sexual meaning “young hoodlum” seems to be entirely traceable to Dashiell Hammett, who sneaked it into “The Maltese Falcon” (1929) while warring with his editor over the book’s racy language:

“Another thing,” Spade repeated, glaring at the boy: “Keep that gunsel away from me while you’re making up your mind. I’ll kill him.”

The context implies some connection with gun and a sense of “gunman,” and evidently that is what the editor believed it to mean. The word was retained in the script of the 1941 movie made from the book, so evidently the Motion Picture Production Code censors didn’t know it either.

The relationship between Kasper Gutman (Sidney Greenstreet) and his young hit-man companion, Wilmer Cook (Elisha Cook, Jr.), is made fairly clear in the movie, but the overt mention of sexual perversion would have been deleted if the censors hadn’t made the same mistaken assumption as Hammett’s editor. [Hugh Rawson, “Wicked Words,” 1989, p.184] also from 1910

Edit: Do you suppose he used “gunsel” like we use “your bitch” today, as both a dig at Kasper and an insult to Wilmer?

What LibertyLizard said, plus there are many other ways of gathering the same data.

Exactly.

Doctors can be some of the most unscientific people you meet.

They repeatedly apply population level statistics for positive benefits of medications, but don’t do the same for the risks.

Which is wrong from the word go.

Wtf is this garbage?

One and the same.

Not just diabetes - glucose instability (whether spikes or lows) are hugely influential to all sorts of disease processes, and is likely a major cause of coronary issues in the last 40 years (since the start of low-fat nonsense in the 80’s).

Are you off your meds?

It only goes in your canal a small amount. The instructions are really good.

And like you I tested it first.
