If they're well-received, I would say see if the students/staff naturally come to explore or suggest other options

Some projects still need time to mature and overplaying your hand can reverse some of that goodwill (which is more FOSS acceptance than I ever saw in my school days)

Goodbye

It can be both

If they weren't gay, they'd live in Womanhattan

Think, Mark. Think!

That's pretty cool if that means a change in diet can be a viable treatment

Always forget printers exist but can't say I'm surprised. Added this to the list of exceptions and made the title more accurate

Any specific service you've seen doing this?

I've not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

Owner of 2 companies, named after 2 different former companies to split into 2 brand new companies

Once again, I am asking any random Aussie for help: What is an "awards wage"?

I thought it'd be akin to a tipped minimum wage but it sounds more like an alternate floor for various industries but I can't find anything explaining it plainly

What is her job?

TABLES!!

So... Wer ist OP?

Linguistics

In UK English, it's considered proper to write "the 6th of March" as "6 March" and sometimes read as "6th March" which can be jarring to Americans as their shorthand is "March 6th" and when "6(th) March" is encountered in written form, it's expanded to the full "6th of March" when spoken

That doesn't mean this won't be yet another feature American English absorbs from UK English but right now flipping them in speech requires a few extra syllables and people are lazy

You've become the very best thing you swore to destroy!

Blood under the Sand

I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that's a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof--the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist

I see the problem: the lines should have been horizontal

Unfortunately, sometimes that's all it takes, especially when not diluted by opposing viewpoints, but let me--without any knowledge of the specific contents--take a crack at countering the negativity bias of those narratives:

• 30% of the global energy generation comes from renewable now
• Social media is bringing the demand for better public transit to a fever pitch
• Trump 1 has a lot of news sources careful to investigate claims before platforming whatever a US president says because "who would abuse that power?" (anecdotal and European bias here but many of these outlets are accessible online for free)
• America may finally be joining the modern world with HSR between Canada HSR, that California project and the one connecting LA to Vegas (some rumblings about importing the Shinkansen to connect the Texas Triangle, too)

If these sound relevant to what you're used to seeing, I'd recommend asking yourself if any of the communities can acknowledge improvement, in other words: if you're following a (hypothetical) community called "Don't Kick Puppies" because who wouldn't support that cause, well not only did you just sign up for a stream of puppy kicking content but one moderated by somebody invested in convincing people the issue is a pressing concern regardless of what the data indicate
