I suspect with high confidence, though, which is worse in terms of the reputation that earns you with me than the alternative “hey I messed up, can you grant me access and extend the deadline by a week?”. Highly prefer honesty over bullshit.

Implying that vim users use arrows instead of hjkl? Blasphemy!

Probably Kim Jong-Un, who’s a big basketball fan and, though far away, probably watching the game. Kinda romantic IMHO.

How did they catch her with this immaculate disguise?

“Over a month ago” for a product that took 6+ years to develop basically means “we had 72 opportunities to clarify this and decided to forego 71 of those”.

Also, not a marketing expert, but learning that my console or other players won’t be able to play this game doesn’t seem like a “fun surprise for gamers” to me. But then again, I don’t get paid six figures for a marketing job, so what do I know.

Ever since the rsync debacle, I’m afraid of updating my installation of Arch lmao

Yes, but social aspects will often still factor in to some extent, and universities also have a lot of freedom in how they select their recipients. I highly doubt that these kids are academically so exceptionally gifted that there aren’t any other kids who would deserve it more and would make better use of this type of support. Scholarships don’t have to function like bursaries, but there’s a fair argument to limit them to kids whose parents aren’t literal millionaires.

In academia, scholarships are often treated like academic awards, and academics will often list them in the same section on their CVs.

As a European, I rarely see “cups” or other imperial measurement except in recipes that were originally from the UK or the US. Spoons are common, yes, especially for the small volumes you refer to. But the overwhelming majority of measurements are a mix of 1) metric, 2) spoons, and 3) absolute quantities like “zest of 1 lemon” and don’t include any imperial measurements.

My cat has a grooming routine that he starts when I go to bed. So my body’s signal for sleeping is when everything goes quiet except the subtle sounds of *lick lick lick*.

Just go with the trusty “Oh dang!” and mix in a couple “That’s rough!”.

I’ve read somewhere that Argentina has a thriving community of German speakers for some reason.

The billionaire equivalent of a 14-year-old shouting “I’m running away!” at their parents. He’ll be back, and until then, he won’t be missed.

I recently had one that was like “Due to recent events, we feel it necessary to remind everyone about the regulations in the Code of Conduct about accepting gifts from clients. Please read the CoC if you have not done so and confirm you have read it via this link. Signed HR”. The link was fake, and the sender address was, too. It was a good fake though, because we actually do have a CoC and have to read/confirm about once a year. So I’m pretty sure it was a test to select people for training.

The IRS and the Department of Education.

As long as you use it as plural, I’m fine with either version.

I’d rather be lonely than give this garbage company a single cent of my money.

Huh, “IV guys” is what I call econometricians.

Have you tried splashing some water on it?

Ferrari execs, probably: “No, we have to make clear that we’re modern™ and there’s more to our cars than toxic masculinity!!!”

… which might even be a good selling point for a lot of people, except for the kind of people who buy a Ferrari.
