The Middleman: You know how in comic books there's all kinds of mad scientists and aliens and androids and monsters, and all of them either want to destroy or take over the world?
Wendy: In comic books, sure.
The Middleman: Well it really does work like that.
It's gonna take a GORP to drag me awaaaay from yoooou!
And it's nothing that a hundred Gax or more could ever dooooooo!
Coming from an astronomy background, I can tell you that abso-fucking-lutely no one is going to use zettameters instead of kiloparsecs. If I tried to use that in a paper or talk people would think I was insane, and then demand I convert it to kPc.
And they would be right to do so since kPc is an immediately understandable distance (to astronomers). One parsec is roughly the distance between stars. So one kiloparsec tells me something is about 1000 star-distances across. Easy. I have no idea what a zettameter is. I like consistent rules as much as the next guy, but sometimes you have to make accommodations for things that are actually useful instead of the "strictly correct" option that is useful to no one.
I have to use Power BI for my job and it does automatically saves until it's been open too long and then it stops automatically saving and also won't let you manually save. Then you have to do a Save As for some reason, close every open PBI file, and reopen them, which takes approximately 3-5 business days.
So he's gonna just... stay on the plane? Just sit there on a plane he knows isn't going to go anywhere?
Sounds like the students were the smart ones, they could at least go catch another flight.
I mean, if they're Klingons then I'm probably not going to survive the experience but as a man of honor I'll at least go down......swinging.
"You died Mr Reynolds. If you die I can't hurt you anymore."
Learning how to write efficiently and having gained a enough knowledge of the subject that you can slap together an essay in 30 minutes on the bus is putting the work in it.
You say they were "just good". Sounds like they had to "git gud" in the first place.
I had the opposite teacher (also 7th grade), who lost my essay, claimed I didn't do it, and gave me a zero. I still had the doc file, so printed it off again and re-handed it in. But by then it was "past the late turn in date so still worth zero."
Oh, and it was past the late turn in date because she took a month to grade them, so I had no idea she had lost mine until past her arbitrary deadline.
From this experience I learned about covering your ass in communications with authorities, which I don't think was what I was supposed to learn from the essay but it sure worked.
This is some real conspiracy theory thinking. This entire article boils down to "I have figured out this secret thing that nobody else, not even the former president or candidates of the Democratic party know about!" It's all a wild supposition with zero backing evidence, just this one person's shower thought being passed off as fact.
Please don't buy into this level of lizard-people nonsense. It's not helpful for anyone.
No, social media is not just for pictures.
But if someone is using it just for pictures and you try to sell them on a service that isn't fitting to their use case, that's on you if they're not interested.
Know your audience. Offer them alternatives that actually fit their preferences, not yours.
Not IT but data analyst. Missed a 2% salary increase for our union members when projecting next year's budget. $12 million mistake that was only caught once it was too late to fix.
