Not so easy to Ignore what you know.

Knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss.

I follow the news until I can’t take it any more, and take a break until I can again.

No it’s not, it’s just hosted on Oracle-owned servers

If you think feminism is accomplished and has nothing left to fight for in the USA and Europe then you are not very observant.

At the time, no. It wasn’t in my plans at all. Now I think about it sometimes.

I don’t know about AI involvement but this story in general is very very old.

It was a study-abroad year and the year ended. I never had the permission to stay and work.

Seems a little early to be making claims about what the jury will do

American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:

I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.

The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:

“help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”

But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.

travel-thing is a vehicle.

help-ability is emergency services

Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?

Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?

Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.

It limits the pool for sure but when it works it works real good. Good luck to you.

 

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
