This was 20 years ago and a lot of people were paid by check. So the only way to reclaim the money from them was to underpay folks. They probably just handled it that way for every…

lol, that's pretty good, I agree with you.

What was it? I arrived too late.

You're right

Maybe I misunderstand you, but there is Tkinter if you want a GUI included with Python.

The Wiki article is something I wish I had time to edit. Yes, there was an attempt to ensure that the right sort of thing be printed, but it was also about making sure that no one …

Can you explain why it's bad?

That's fair, but this is why the "targeted at Oxbridge kids" thing is so important. Sure, some are paying with loans, but most don't need them. Really, this isn't about targeting a…

Not everyone is motivated by money. And if these are Oxbridge kids they may not need the cash anyway.

I think that just depends on your definition of spy. If you're thinking, say, Americans being undercover or sneaking onto bases (instead of using local assets to do it) then it wou…

That's old and "expired" data from over thirty years ago and the family member I'm discussing is open about it, now. What needs to stay quiet (in this instance) is operational deta…

Right. Lot of judgments made without considering how this might work long term in the real world.

> Lol. It's supposed that one of them (i.e the mother) should behave like and adult and own it. Of course nobody forced her to choose serving her country but I believe in this case…

I replied to the parent comment above, but it's worth replying to this. The kids might not know what mom did before this, but the way the mother operates was long ago normalized fo…

I can speak as someone who was in the same situation as the teens. This is about the time that the kids begin to cotton on to the fact that things aren't quite right. Really, this …

Speaking as an historian here and not as a linguist: In my experience, a language that has only four cases usually has a method for expressing all eight, they just won't be formali…

What you quoted above actually kind of reinforces GP's point. And if you read the article you cited it agrees with GP. > [W]hat I think many people outside our profession don’t und…

This is satire. McSweeney's is a humor literary journal.

Key quote from the woman: “Apparently, the mouse jiggler was the last straw since I had been missing standups and having ‘thunderstorms’ and ‘power outages’ since I started.” Sound…

The Trophy Weapon System can intercept and defeat anti-tank missiles and grenades and has been proven in combat. Both US and Israeli tanks have those mounted on them. I wouldn't be…

Think about this differently: as you have more relationships you learn what you can tolerate and what you can't. The less experienced you are, often the more patient you are with r…

Basically getting banged around. It's like a series of rapid blows. In the case of aircraft it's where everything just rapidly swings from side to side.

They look like this: https://www.healthyplace.com/sites/default/files/uploads/201... There are some that let you hook up headphones as well. It's all about bilateral stimulation an…
