Part of Frankenstein’s rejection of his creation is the fact that he does not give him a name. Instead, Frankenstein’s creation is referred to by words such as “wretch”, “monster”, “creature”, “demon”, “devil”, “fiend”, and “it”. When Frankenstein converses with the creature, he addresses him as “vile insect”, “abhorred monster”, “fiend”, “wretched devil”, and “abhorred devil”.

I could also live without it, myself. There are some very nice conveniences associated with the overall ‘family hub’ suite of functionality, but it’s all bells and whistles and not truly necessary of course. But the partner and our spawn appreciate it and they’re happy, and that’s good enough for me

I mean, I probably can’t disagree with your sentiment in a general sense, I’m just not sure how this refrigerator nonsense is contributing?

It knows because there are cameras inside the fridge and it can recognize the items you put inside and remove, and has logic built around all of these observations.

It’s not perfect but I’m surprised how often it’s accurate, especially in a household that doesn’t give any shits whatsoever about refrigerator organization.

I was actually asking about the teeny tiny gelcaps you referred? I have never seen any even close to that size! Usually they are somewhat larger. I just found this page with some cool info, https://www.trustar-pharma.com/info/softgel-sizes-the-ultimate-guide-37148451.html

Sorry to hear about your kidney stones! That does not sound super fun!

No shit? That sounds wild. What’s the application?

And like, idk, aren’t those pills maybe 5 times larger than this thing?

Sounds like an interesting experience, for sure, but I wouldn’t call it the expected result from trying a little bit of stinky tofu, sorry that happened to you. I use it as a condiment with my rice dishes all the time and enjoy it quite a bit.

To any visitors to this thread from the future - yes, this was at the same time that Ukraine was engaged in a defensive war with Russia; and America was kicking out any foreigners it could while ruining the global economy with import taxes.

Crazy, sad times, these were.

Two years of negotiations - that’s absurd. How many games/products have been released under the MS umbrella in that same span?

Companies: I know you don’t care, but you can easily treat your employees as shareholders and deliver value to them, just the same as delivering value to customers. You release products iteratively, just treat the people helping to make it happen with some dignity and deliver to them as well.

Damn, I was going to post a comment like “…and his immigration policies… and his disaster response policies (FEMA, et al)…” BUT you tucking nailed it

IMDB only shows these guys as ‘Cast’ and I’m not 100% convinced:

• Coolio
• B-Real
• Kenneth Blue
• Big Boy

Thanks! See you in another 15 yrs!

Absolutely agree.

Btw, the entertainment industry has also gotten their way with child labor, I just noticed this for CA: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/MinorsSummaryCharts.pdf

Sometimes we forget that child actors are labor too.

I am not disagreeing with you, just wanted to point out that the age minimum in the US is set at the federal level, and then the states can further restrict; I don’t think they can go below the federal limit:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets wage, hours worked, and safety requirements for minors (individuals under age 18) working in jobs covered by the statute. The rules vary depending upon the particular age of the minor and the particular job involved. As a general rule, the FLSA sets 14 years old as the minimum age for employment, and limits the number of hours worked by minors under the age of 16.

That’s not surprising, if you live outside of the US. Otherwise, I do have a follow up query for you 😅

They are giving you shit because:

Sprint Corporation was an American telecommunications company. Before being acquired by T-Mobile US on April 1, 2020, it was the fourth-largest mobile network operator in the United States, serving 54.3 million customers as of June 30, 2019. The company also offered wireless voice, messaging, and broadband services through its various subsidiaries under the Boost Mobile and Open Mobile brands and wholesale access to its wireless networks to mobile virtual network operators.

I like to add some thin pretzels to my party mixes

I don’t know about OP and I don’t have excessive hair myself but I do have two daughters
