Recovering academic now in public safety. You'll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
I agree with you. My guess is a 3" heel to put her at around 5'7". I think he's about 5'10" based on all the pictures of him with Bill Barr. I think he has two different lift heights depending on who he's meeting with. I honestly don't care about all of this that much, but I find it hilarious.
With all the bots on the site why complain about these ones?
Edit: auto$#&"$correct
...posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation...
There are no users there. It's just bots talking to other bots.
Technology can therefore be defined both as an ensemble of deliberately created processes and objects that together accomplish some function as well as the associated knowledge and skills used in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of such technological artifacts.

Start with your silly claim that "advertising", as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.
What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.
Your late cat clearly had an "outie".
There's plenty of blame to go around, but this is a stone cold stupid take.
Nobody else seems to remember the Hillary is 44 movement. It was an early version of foreign mischief and tried to do to the left what the Tea Party did to the right.
When I said she was John the Baptist I was actually thinking of her first run at president when she and John McCain were doing vodka shots in Moscow laughing about how one of them was going to be president.
She could have been a herald for a rejuvenation of the Democrats with a younger face. Instead she fought it all the way down.
Well does it!!??!? DON'T LEAVE US HANGING!!1!!1!
She was. She was John the Baptist but wanted to be Jesus. Opinion on her was fully established so even if she was 45% positive you could never move the dial on the 6% you needed to push her over the top.
She would have been an outstanding attack dog for a fresh candidate if she could have put her ego aside and accept that it wouldn't be her.
Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.
White tie is a level of formality above black tie. He might probably a diplomat honoring him as head of state rather than as the head of Catholic Church.
What is the bad news?
I don't hate her but she had always been musically boring and generally uninteresting as a person. Pure basic but elevated by the hype machine. This is just another example of it.
Theoden was a baller.
Thank God they pixeled the eyes. Now we'll never recognize him.
Go fuck yourself. This is someone who was a child when he watched his friends die to a school shooter. And then faced the worst that the rightwing noise machine could throw at him as they accused him of being a crisis actor and denied that the event happened at all. He has been attacked by politicians and media since before his voice changed. So fuck off with your milquetoast judgments about how something seems a bit "off" with his public persona.
I didn't eat supper tonight.
I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.
So my wife thinks we're getting shelled tonight.
She doesn't really watch hockey so I don't know what her opinion is worth. But she wanted to do Leafs Lucky Guess with me this morning. Evidently we are going to lose 16-1 or something.
Do audits actually matter?
The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?
Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.
Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.
What is the biggest corporate heel turn that you know?
I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.
The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?
Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor?
I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.
I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.
Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.
The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
