No, you definitely can still call them slaves. From the text of the US 13th Amendment:

> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.


uh oh didn't the US sign the UN charter of human rights? maybe they didn't. but then, who cares, under the emperor of the new Reich...


That's how Swiftkey works, yeah. If you put your cursor at the end of a word, hacker for example, pressing shift once gives Hacker as an autocorrect option, and a 2nd press gives HACKER.


It's no one's responsibility to go find the facts to back up your claims. Provide the evidence or be doubted - it's that simple.


If your own nervous habits lead you to checking work emails outside of work, it sounds like you were preoccupied with thoughts about work regardless of whether or not you received an email. No, the correct solution if you can't ignore a notification is to either block notifications from work apps entirely, or to create a notification schedule that blocks work apps outside of given hours. That schedule should be made during work hours, of course.


If the employee is a nervous person, and that nervousness is impacting their work, and you need them to relax, and they can't, you need to figure out a way to help them relax.


https://business.apple.com simply throws an Unsupported Browser error when trying to visit from Firefox. Unfortunate, but it's another one of those "gotta do it for work" things I deal with.


I noticed on your site that a carrying case won't be available until Fall 2022 but I'm wondering whether you're imagining a case along the lines of a suitcase or something more like a backpack. My primary vehicle is a motorcycle and since moving to my current location, biking has entirely fallen off my daily schedule because I have no easy way to transport a bicycle and there are no good paths near me. Something I could strap to my back would be a solution better than I could've hoped for to my dilemma. It'd be an instant buy for me.

Do you have a source for this? My searches land primarily on the University of North Carolina professor. I do see that she was a German immigrant but I'm not finding many details beyond that.

> The catastrophe emerged from Wiener's German-born wife, Margaret, and their almost gothically weird relationship. Though Wiener was Jewish, Margaret became an outspoken Nazi supporter during World War II. (She kept a copy of "Mein Kampf" on a dresser at home.) She was even more hostile to her daughters, and accused the elder of inspiring "unnatural" sexual feelings in her father. As Wiener's reputation grew and he crisscrossed the globe on lecture circuits, Margaret attempted to trigger his depressions with undercutting remarks. At the peak of Wiener's fame, she told an audacious lie that destroyed his relationship with his closest scientific collaborators. One of Wiener's daughters had interned for a spring with the colleagues; Margaret told Wiener that their daughter had had sex with several of them. Wiener chose to believe the falsehood. He immediately cut off all contact with his collaborators, never explained the accusation and never spoke to them again. And that, the authors contend, is the real reason cybernetics died. Wiener's colleagues were shattered, and without his participation, their explorations of his ideas quickly atrophied. One of Wiener's former protégés, the young mathematical genius Walter Pitts, was so scarred that ultimately he drank himself to death. By the time of Wiener's death in 1964, there were few proselytizers left; Soviet scientists were interested, but this only served to give cybernetics a "red" tinge.

Just a dream of a spouse, that one. :: eye roll ::


Two years ago I might have asked how it was possible that a Nazi supporter could literally be married to a Jew and hold the same beliefs.

After seeing people dying of COVID with their family accusing the doctors of killing them while blaming it on a nonexistent illness, I no longer wonder, now I'm just sad for humanity

Make it mandatory to teach critical thinking and basic science literacy in high school ASAP


On point 3, there are speed ups around 40, ~80, and on. The colors change at the same points.


For what it's worth, I know I'd certainly use it.
