I mean, a lot of the early astronauts were muscle-bound nerds. They were in the military and mostly working as test pilots; physical fitness was paramount!

They made the FART lady get a new plate after someone complained, although they let her keep the actual plate. I would bet the same thing happened to the SHART lady after this got more publicity.

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?

I’m pretty sure I read the same or a similar story years earlier than that, so I’m pretty sure it’s a screenshot of a repost

I love when these things come back to life randomly

I’ve sometimes wondered what life looks like for people after they get out of the industry and get older. Did your past career affect your future jobs? Was it something you told romantic partners? Did you ever tell family members, at the time or later? Were you ever worried about people finding out about your career? Sometimes you hear about all these people doing online work like Only Fans or similar, and while some are making lots of money, many presumably aren’t, and it leaves me wondering if in the future the ones who didn’t make it will feel like it was worth the effort.

I’d be surprised if this takes down Broadcom altogether, but could certainly kill the division. Oracle still exists, after all, even though they basically killed Sun and Java.

The only thing in the article where Apple seems remotely unhappy is they found some of the tests ambiguous and voluntarily lowered some of their scores by one level in case a third-party tests differently. So by their testing the battery life gets an A, but they’re labeling it as a B just to be safe. They might not like the labeling, but many of their flagship competitors aren’t going to be doing noticeably better than them on most of the metrics.

Fries are usually not going to get you laid. But sharing a couple fries would’ve improved anon’s likability among that girl and maybe her friends, which is probably not a bad thing.

Wouldn’t breaking something make the exercise more difficult?

I also enjoy that they were only the seventh team to overcome any 3 goal deficit in the finals and the first to do it since game 1 of the 2006 finals when they were on the wrong side of the Hurricanes doing it to them.

Every company I’ve worked for in the USA has given 100% pay for sick time, but it’s usually limited to 10 days per year and unused time does not roll over from year to year. Sometimes companies combine sick time and vacation time into one lump of Paid Time-Off (PTO) and in those cases there might be less overall time compared to getting 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick time, but those hours can roll over from year to year and might need to be paid out or used when you leave the company. Short-term and long-term disability leave I think sometimes goes to reduced pay, depending on what insurance plan they have covering that, but I’ve never used that so I’m not clear on how it works.

That would seem a little odd given the person behind it has listed their account as being on a PieFed instance.

@andrew_s@piefed.social do you know if your bot is/should be tracking PieFed communities?

Both, really. Maybe it helped that my first time was really only speaking to waitstaff or hotel employees, or pharmacists (I’d gotten a cold)? That first time my French was my worst, high school French and I’d been out of school 2 years (did not go to university right away). The next time I’d been to university and minored in French, and the last time I was with my wife’s family, who are French.

My experience in France has been closer to one of the blue colors. They seem to very much prefer when someone at least tries, even if they’re struggling.

It’s very helpful. One note, at least in the edition I had, they use endnotes instead of footnotes, so they’re at the back of the book. It’s not quite as helpful unless you use one or two bookmarks to keep your place as you go back and forth. The book itself is riveting, though, and just about every chapter ends on a cliffhanger (since it was originally serialized a chapter at a time in a newspaper) that makes you want to keep reading.

I’ll have to show this to my kid, who enjoys both beads and crochet
