"Three New Tricks For Identifying If Your House Has Collapsed"

Christian Science as well. It's eerie how many overlaps they have with Mormons: founded by a single person (Mary Baker Eddystone), have a book they treat as scripture (Science and Health), believe they are the "one true way", and tell people to "pray to know if the book [and the religion] is true"

So eerie, in fact, that it was the final nail in the head (so to speak) that allowed me to leave Mormonism for good

there's a very important video on the measurement rules in the UK, if you haven't seen it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNh9z3IzG8t/

My partner is in her 30s, works 4 days as a school teacher, and just bought her first house in London. It's possible!

(I don't need to add that I'm in tech and have a very convenient salary, since that's not at all related, right?)

eh, we've got pubs and chips.

oh also went back to the States last week and was appalled that a pint can cost upwards of $10 when a decade ago it was only $6 (London prices have stayed around £6-7). throw on the whole tip racketeering insanity and I'd much rather be in England.

Your second point is really difficult for me as a parent with a new kid. Feels like we "know" so much more about serial killers / bad things that happen to kids that we're terrified of letting them do anything.

Of course in this case it would have been trivially solved by the city just adding sidewalks, but that feels like another point here.

You know why they "tombstone"? (By the way, they don't replace with a tombstone marker but instead add the marker.)

Because if you "accidentally" deleted something and then decided you wanted it back, you'd get really mad if they couldn't do that. If they immediately deleted it, you couldn't ever get it back

The copies and deep copies are for a similar reason: Some engineer accidentally deletes a bunch of data, it's really nice to have a backup so you don't lose everything.

"June 6 is when school gets out in... uh... all the places where the children are using this AI thingy. Right."

There's a pretty trivial rule for getting this right. Phrase your sentence using who/whom as a question. Respond with he/him. If your response contains a "he", your initial statement should be "who"; if it contains a "him" then you're looking at a "whom" use.

• ex: "To who/whom should the gold be given?" -> "To him" -> "whom"
• ex: "Who/whom wants the gold?" -> "He wants the gold" -> "who"
• ex: "Who/whom did you see at the party?" -> "I saw him" -> "whom"
• ex: "The man who/whom called earlier is here" -> "Who/whom called?" -> "he called" -> "who"

I don't understand why you're getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made

this seems cool, but... so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids....

you mean "the moment they're conceived", right? adulthood starts at conception obv
