I’m also an anglophone, but this seems not quite right to me. There’s no real need to insert a comma in that sentence, as there’s no real need to pause for clarity or pacing.

What’s with the weird comma placement in the, title?
I know its not you, OP
Not the LAST person I would have expected to be vocal in opposition to this administration, but given his knife fixation I would have thought that he’d be quiet on the topic or a quiet conservative. Glad to see my intuition was wrong.


I refuse to criticize anyone that decides to take a jet landing with an arrested stop on an aircraft carrier compared to just a simple helicopter landing. That’s cool as hell.
Everything else about this moment was stupid and misleading though.


I read the Wikipedia article and it looks like the NTSB concluded that conversation and the subsequent “test” they did were inconclusive as the root cause of the engine failure. That specific engine had numerous problems reported prior to the flight and had been taken off and replaced before having even more reported after. It seems to be just coincidental. What’s just as wild to me is that the passenger that was ejected from the plane was even wearing his seatbelt. Explosive decompression still said nuh uh and ripped him out the window.


No. You have to be pretty deliberate about it. Honestly, its pretty impressive how well tuned it is.


The heat press or glue or whatever is too strong and keeps me from opening the bag cleanly. Top tier cereal bags essentially peel open and leave a clean hole at the top of the bag to pour from.


That qualifies.




Motorola phones have a feature that allows you to “chop” with your phone twice to turn on/off the flashlight. It sounds super mundane, but it is way more convenient than you can imagine. Especially for me as an athletic trainer when I’m testing pupil response during a concussion evaluation. They also allow you to twist your phone twice to open the camera, but I don’t find that as convenient since double tapping the lock button also works.


Blaming Valve for prediction markets is certainly a stretch…


I’m on a second generation of Motorola phones. I gave them a shot with the 2020 g power and upgraded to the 2023 edge+. The g power was fine for about 2 years but then I really began to feel the brunt of having such a underperforming chipset. I’d definitely suggest getting something that’s more in the midrange price bracket given my experience. My advice so take it or leave it.


Good. Now if only they could make the Edge+ with the same relative spec sheet and ditch the curved glass in 2027. I’d buy it in a heartbeat for Graphene. My next phone WAS going to be a Pixel for the broader case/screen protector support, but that would make me reconsider cause I would really miss the chop chop flashlight.

Your job sounds really cool! How likely is Alberta to be on fire again this year?


That’s what’s crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.


You can’t really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn’t really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I’m wrong and the distinction isn’t necessary. Idk. I’m just trying to foster conversation


Should it? Yes. Would I be any happier with either of those two you listed? Only marginally. Considering the significance of the French relationship with the United States (probably second only to England in terms of importance/loyalty of alliance) I would much rather the ambassador be someone like Karine Jean-Pierre. Born in France and worked as the White House Press Secretary for 3 years. Her political affiliation is independent. And it shouldn’t matter but she’s an openly LGBTQ black woman and unfortunately diversity is lacking at the moment. So she’s experienced in public communication and she has a Master’s degree from Columbia University in Public Administration.
