Meanwhile, in Unicode land…

Yep, I’m a big fan. It’s definitely an acquired taste, though.

Salty licorice

It’s still legal tender so they have to accept it. They don’t like it, but they do. Last time I visited Norway I held up the line at the grocery store trying to buy candy with cash that had been gifted to me. I’m not sure the cashier knew what to do with it.

This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this “feature”. Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating “adware” for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.

No way I’m risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.

Yep. And for very good reasons, as explained in the article. But knowing that domains can be a significant source of income for a small nation, it does seem a shame to both waste that resource and break tons of sites in the process. I wish there were better ways to do this that didn’t mean shutting it down or even selling it off to the highest bidder (who already has enough money).

I doubt this will happen, but they should just reassign it to the Mauritius authority. The citizens of the islands could then potentially see some benefit from it, not Google or ICANN or whoever selflessly offers to take it over.

I think everywhere I use 2FA they also have downloadable backup codes, but you have to store those securely somewhere also.

This is why more sites need to support multiple 2FA devices. Most of them support a fallback like SMS, but they restrict you to one key. I can’t think of any reason to restrict this other than trying to “keep it simple” for users, which is just silly.

I see Norwegian furries tend to stay mostly inland.

For those not in the US: it may be covered, but normally it’s a separate insurance plan and not covered by your regular health insurance.

It also varies what type of “dental” care. Some mouth/gum surgeries may be covered by the health plan. I think most dental plans cover checkups. All this varies wildly with your employer and insurance election, though.

Lol true

To OP’s point, my friends say I don’t have an accent, but the number of people who ask me where I’m from says otherwise.

As someone with a slight accent: good. I want you to hear what I’m saying, not my accent.

Regardless, active listening is the way to go. Learn what to listen for and maybe try to actively place the accent once you recognize the markers.

Just please listen to the words first.

Check with your employer if they will help with your continued education somehow. My employer, for example, will reimburse some tuition costs if you get a degree while working there.

As a nurse you can continue up to and including a PhD. Or you can go to medical school and become an MD. There are many options. Try to find a few that sound interesting and learn more about them.

If you feel you have unused potential, maybe making a change in your career is just what you need. Even if you just look into what it would take, it could put things in perspective for you.

Your move, Blizzard and Bethesda. This is the boss fight we need.

John Oliver did a show related to this. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of restrictions on what can happen to your body once it has been donated.

Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.

Since refried beans is not countable, I vote for “too much”.

Example:

• I’m gassy because I had too much refried beans
• I am gassy because I had too many burritos

Or like someone else suggested, make the noun singular and call them “refried bean paste”. This will probably raise more eyebrows than much/many confusion, though.

I don’t mind them when used appropriately, but remember that us old people may struggle to make out which emoji we’re looking at when the text is small.

To my eyes it also looks out of place in professional writing, so I would find it hard to take you seriously if you use emojis in such a context.

TL;DR: in a casual context, go nuts, but avoid for important communication where clarity and professionalism matters.

Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I’m ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.
