Well, they'll be way too old for childcare by then though??

Whoever actually posts to Linkedin is already lost in the sauce I'm afraid

We have so many Roman Ruins here in Aachen (Germany) cause this used to be a hotspot for Thermal baths back in the day. I don't think there are full roman buildings still hanging on though, just a few arches and columns.

I held a basic digital security course for the 6th-8th graders when I was in 12th. My favorite topic from that was Phishing and Password theft.

I only had the time and resources for some PowerPoint slides of emails, where students could point out what exactly is suspicious but that wasn't very engaging.

If I had the time though, I would have set up some trackable links for the students and told them to try Phishing School staff and their friends/parents. It would have been some free pen-testing for the school, plus students would have been way more willing to internalize information that allows them to do something "naughty". The main point is that most digital risks don't come from some high-concept hacking, but from social engineering and a moment of inattention. Everyone can fall for it, no matter how smart they think they are. I think that's an important lesson to learn.

Do they still sell the Pipetting silly straws somewhere? I was in a Bio lab last week and they didn't have any (but still told everyone to NOT pipette the E.Coli with their mouths) so I really want to try that now

Talking in brackets to say the thing you actually mean is so Autism coded (I do it too)

Same tho haha

Golden rice was the same thing, wasn't it?

Designed for third world countries with actual issues of underconsumption of Beta-Carotine, it got regulated away by first world countries who went "ew icky GMO"

The software company I work for is killing all legacy on-prem software in 2025 and replacing it with a modular AWS based system of single-page websites. Many customers are old-school and hesitant about anything cloud-related, but it worked out beautifully so far. The shutdown hasn't happened yet tho, so we'll see how many lawsuits roll in when it does lol

Hmm, you could have a Mulan situation with one of the pairings 🤔

I freaking wish! Then at least I'd have someone to fawn over F1nnster with :(

My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it's just for the porn.

Has that ever actually worked? Cause I know no examples of universally "reclaimed" words. Just some that are fine if you strictly use them to refer to yourself.

You can empty the bag without throwing it away?? I always thought those bags were supposed to be tossed as they are when they're full :o

.. I've done neither haha

Oh, definitely my vacuum cleaner. I have never changed the bag on that thing. And I dread the day that it will become necessary.

They're moss poles! :D Apparently that helps Aroids like Pothos and Monstera grow larger because they need a "climbing surface" to actually mature

Not exactly all instances, but all instances federated with and cached by your home instance. (Sometimes it doesn't sync quite right)

There's some quip to be made here about Berlin's aerial infrastructure

As others have said, it's usually the Midsole foam going flat that causes the issues. That usually happens long before any wear is visible. I used to do 600-800km in regular running shoes. After that, knee and hip pain set in pretty predictably.

But changing shoes twice a year is super annoying, so I've switched to barefoot shoes. Those don't have a midsole to begin with, so you can wear them until they literally fall apart. My current pair of Xero Shoes is on about 2k km or so and still going strong!
