Is the white outlined part in the first image and the black part in the purple-yellow image the part of the universe we can't see because the Milky Way is in the way?

I noticed that my colleagues that didn't turn webcams on were all women, so I started turning mine off for anything I thought they might attend.

The book burning has begun.

Weird, the employment law I'm familiar with goes to automatic triple damages for failing to pay any part of wages on the first day they are unpaid for any reason, almost as if the law there decided long ago that Hanlon's Razor doesn't apply to the situation because wage theft is the norm, not the mistaken exception.

But not in the ways that matter to them. Fascism was characterized by nationalizing private enterprises to transfer wealth and power from the government to the chosen elite. They want to privatize government enterprises to transfer wealth and power from the government to the chosen elite. Totally different, you see?

What does "missing baby" mean?

Most crosswalks in the US are not marked, and in all places I'm familiar with vehicles must stop or yield to pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks.

At unmarked crosswalks and marked but uncontrolled crosswalks we have to handle the situation with social cues about which direction the pedestrian wants to cross the street/road/highway and if they will feel safer crossing the road after a vehicle has passed than before (almost always for homeless pedestrians and frequently for pedestrians in moderate traffic).

If waymo can't figure out if something intends or is likely to enter the highway they can't drive a car. Those can be people at crosswalks, people crossing at places other than crosswalks, blind pedestrians crossing anywhere, deaf and blind pedestrians crossing even at controlled intersections, kids or wildlife or livestock running toward the road, etc.

Crazy thing about disabilities, they affect people's abilities.

I think you look gorgeous. If I had to describe you in one word from the pictures you've posted it would be "important", like Lieutenant Uhura or Hermione Granger.

Yeah, autotune is pitch controlled distortion. It turns the ability to control pitch, vibrato, melisma into something like controlling an effects pedal on an electric guitar.

Don't give the super wealthy any ideas.

 

The last couple days I've finally been able to work on some of the big projects I care about and have wanted to do for months. But wanting to do all the things I want to do and having lots of ideas is painful, like before I got anxiety, ADHD treatment (which my doctor interpreted as being more of an anxiety thing) but also stopped doing the big things.

It's so tempting to ignore the things I really want and go burry myself in a video game or something.
