This is overwhelmingly true. My partner and I decided not to tell anyone our child’s name or sex until after birth. You’d think this was a form of psychological torture with the way some people acted. We had a little bit of fun after she was born telling people her gender-neutral name and watching people figure out how to specifically ask what her sex was.

It’s very clearly an AI image to me. Just look at the road lines. A double solid yellow line on the right side of the road is not something that happens in the USA. The double yellow line would be in the center of the road. And if this was a divided highway with the coyote being in the center median, then the yellow line would be a single solid line.

How are they pumping the brakes on Apple Intelligence when the next major update for iOS will integrate it into almost every part of the iPhone?

I remember going there frequently as a kid when it was called Camp Snoopy. The biggest rides back then were the Ripsaw roller coaster (now called Orange Streak) that went around most of the park and the Paul Bunyan Log Flume ride.

It does mention that those posts were from 2015. Though that still would have been about a decade after Adobe took over.

ETA: Clicking on the post they are referencing, the original author called it Adobe Flash, so not sure why it was changed for this article.

Of course. It’s pride month. It’s illegal to be strait.

I think that one of the biggest struggles we see is infantilization. This whole image screams it. The bright colors. The silly font. Even the message that try’s to paint autism as something special and unique. This doesn’t give off “I’m proud of who I am”. To me it gives off “mom who’s trying to make her child feel better about being excluded.”

When I was visiting Quebec City, I noticed that their traffic lights would all go red for cars and the pedestrian lights would come on for every direction. People would cross the intersection in whatever way was fastest for them (even diagonally) because the cars all had to wait for pedestrians anyway. It was super nice as someone walking.

American living abroad here. I have lived and worked here for 5 years. Not once have I paid taxes to the USA. I have to file my taxes every year, but since my wife and I do not make more than $260,000 combined, we do not have to pay taxes to the US government. There are even more tax credits we get by living in a country with a tax treaty with the USA (foreign tax credit).

Why don’t Americans living abroad renounce their citizenship? Many reasons. First, most Americans living abroad probably have family in the USA. Giving up their citizenship would mean having a more difficult time crossing borders into the USA. They would also be giving up the ability to move back to the US if they wanted to. They would give up their ability to vote in US elections, which may be important to them if they have family there. Additionally, until recently, it cost like $2500 to renounce an American citizenship. I think it now costs like $800. It also takes months to get approval from the state department.

So if you don’t make a whole lot of money, why would you want to give up citizenship? Renouncing your citizenship really only has negatives unless you make a lot of money.

Also, to address why they don’t consider naturalization. Many probably do consider it. But it takes a lot of time, effort and money to become naturalized in most countries. Right now I’ve been here for 5 years and I will only become eligible for naturalization at the end of this year. After applying, it will probably take another year, lots of paperwork and money to become a citizen.

Yeah it was a ridiculous thing to say. And if I actually needed a secretary to work, that would be an accommodation that would require a diagnosis anyway.

When I was a teen I was told by my psychiatrist “I would diagnose you with Asperger’s, but I’m not going to because you’ll be able to do any job you want as long as you have a secretary.”

There was a camera near my house in front of a school. People used to go a strict 40 as they went past it. I had a few friends get tickets at night, but it was kind of nice that people didn’t speed in our neighborhood typically. Now, with the camera removed, nobody goes 40 or less, even with the community safety zone signs. Most people are going 55-60.

Three of them, though I don’t know how much biking people are doing in Antarctica.

Dang, I worked a lot more than just August 29th. I worked nearly every day of the year.

Cuba also doesn’t allow for gender-affirming surgeries on minors, so that would be a strange place to go for one.

This city is so poorly designed for both pedestrians and cars. The road that this crossing is at is the main road through the town and the entrance to the town from the nearest highway. It also has parking on it for the main tourist part of town. If you’re driving, you will get stuck in traffic because of how many cars there are, and the fact that everyone is trying to park. If you’re a pedestrian, you will almost certainly want to cross this street several times on your visit to Sedona, but you have to cross an insanely congested street.

And that isn’t even mentioning all the off-road vehicles that are on the roads, the hundreds of Jeep tour vehicles, etc.

I wonder if these are old glasses for protecting your eyes from the extreme orange light that comes from working with glass on a torch. I know today they sell didymium glasses for that.

Actually yes. The attack actually happened during the first week of the new director being there.

No, there is no indication that the old director had anything to do with it.

If I remember correctly, we were able to restore folders from the shadow copies. I certainly didn’t go file by file. I might have used a tool to do it. But as you pointed out, it’s not a proper backup so we had to do quite a bit of reconciliation to make sure we restored everything and document anything we couldn’t restore.

Yeah, shadow copies on Windows servers are snapshots of files. They allow users to see previous versions of a file.

It’s not really intended as a backup solution on its own, but some backup software does use the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to perform backups on Windows servers.

I was basically restoring files from this prompt in Windows.
