“Today at 12:30, Wilber called his wife to tell her that he had been shot,” his attorney, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, said in an interview with KHOU-11. “And he was yelling in agony, and the call cut off. That was all she knew.”
Welp, imagine receiving that call. ICE fascists can fucking choke.
Yes, and if there was a way to magically make seasonal allergies go away for good, I’d get a couple more months of comfort every year.
For a reminder of how quick it could be :
Sheeran was asking Kraft to finance the IDF, just to be neutral you know. /s
White, black, blue and… Yellow-green?
Just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Nicholson was 38 during filming. I thought he looked 50 too.
Just wanted to stop here to approve of this message. Thanks for your attention.
Well that won’t help me find scat porn at all then!
Oh yeah, we agree then. It won’t do much (but I think the USA voting no is telling on themselves), and yes, the area of Russia is incorrect and we might have the wrong ideas about it. I didn’t know it had that much “height” for example.
Depends what type of significance. Of course it’s more significant when it’s larger in size if you value things like farmland, natural resources, fishing, transportation, infrastructure, timezones, language, etc.
If you think the US is similar in size to Africa, like I thought, and you compare the 51 states to the 54 countries, you might think each African country is similar in area to a state in the USA and extrapolate to other beliefs accordingly. Maybe you think there is a greater cultural cohesion in the entire continent because people are closer to each other and so on. Turns out, there is more than 1.5 billion people in Africa. That is way more than in the US, but the size is really skewed in the Mercator.
I don’t understand your point about wanting to make Greenland feel better. The Equal Earth Projection is more accurate when looking at land area, so it’s not a question of making people feel better about the size of their country, more of a question of not having the Mercator projection contributing to people thinking less of our country, amongst other things, like just being more factual.
And like the other commenter said, Russia doesn’t really have this problem anyway, it’s very large in all our popular projections.
I, for one, thought Africa had a smaller footprint that it has because of the maps in school and it made me think that it was less signifiant than it is. It doesn’t make sense, because a country could be very little but have billions of people in it for example. Nonetheless, I get the feeling. If I was from a country that suffered from colonialism and whatnot, I’d want a better projection of it on 2d maps. Simply because I know a chunk of people would better see my nation’s place in the world.
Wildest thing to me is that I didn’t notice the misspellhwg before you pointed it out.
Absolutely. Some of the HPV types are sexually transmitted (there are more than 100 types of HPV), they are the ones that cause cervical (and other) cancers and males can have symptoms, but usually not. In any case, yes, males can transmit HPV.
I can’t find anything, I think they confused Samberg with Sandler?
Assuming the question implies an inclusive OR, I know all the answers too : True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True.
I don’t mean to sound insensitive to your culture, but there are other activities that can be done outdoors, can you tell your country please?
I feel you, I had a few managers like you describe. I am all for establishing your boundaries and telling people what you don’t care for if it doesn’t affect your tasks and so on, and I also agree with what other people told you here.
For example, I had a colleague that just talked about their sex life all the time. I deflected every time to another subject, I didn’t laugh at crassy innuendos and boys’ club language, I didn’t engage in stories of my own, but I became very fluent in being smiley, engaged, and willing to talk about work-related topics. People don’t feel offended and they pick up quickly that there are topics I won’t encourage. And I think I am better off now, with colleagues I really do care about. And if people insist on small talk, I sometimes tell yhem honestly, sympathetically, that I am stressed about things being done and that we will catch up later.
There is a way to connect with colleagues that doesn’t feel fake, but it takes practice and good faith. I don’t think it is beneficial in the long run to see others as of lesser value or as a waste of time. It can worsen social relationships. You seem to be motivated to know more about the inner workings of your job and it’s great, and I think the skill of “managing” middle managers and bosses could be included in the skillset.

Better yet, I remember visiting Germany in 2015 and seeing cigarette vending machines on street corners!
