He was living in the UK studying on a football scholarship. I can’t imagine the cultural shock of moving from rural Thailand to the UK much less doing it with the tough after effects of such a traumatic experience.

I did this for a business number many years ago and it worked fine.
Oh wow. No one ever asks about my undergrad grades anymore. It was a study-abroad in London, UK at Goldsmith’s college. I got whatever a UK “D” was at the time, a 55 or something. Thankfully I came with a study-abroad program guide who gave us a “US Grade Equivalent” sheet at the start which said that was a passing grade and I didn’t worry about it. For the course “Animals In Medieval Art and Literature” which became 3 credits of Anthropology at my local state university in the United States toward a Bachelor’s in Science the following year. I entered grad school 4 months after that in an unrelated field and never used this knowledge for anything but trivia since.
Ha! I wrote a paper about the meaning of dragons for a undergrad anthropology college course in 2003 and I cited the heck out of this book. Also Mythical Beasts edited by John Cherry.
As a child in the US I was taught “The Principal is you ‘pal’.” which is not true but helpful when spelling it. Like “dessert” has more ‘s’ than “desert” because it’s something you want more of.
The location of the wreck wasn’t found until 1985 and it was definitely still a popular disaster story to tell. I remember books about it in my elementary school library in the late 1980s alongside volcanos and dinosaurs.
If you soaked your skin then that is just dead skin cells. Pilling happens on dry skin.
Lotion is composed of a water part that gets absorbed or evaporated and a fat or wax part that only absorbs into the very top layer of dead cells.
In skincare discussions what you experienced is called “pilling” and it’s the result of putting on a lotion or skin product too soon after another one that was applied too thickly or didn’t have time to absorb fully. The balls are dead skin and the dried lotion or sunscreen that has gotten gummy and stuck to itself like eraser bits. Apply your sunscreen a little bit thinner and rub it in well and it shouldn’t continue to happen.
Literally just pulled my daughter’s high tops out of the washer. We unlace them and put them in a zippered laundry bag (cheap at most stores that sell Landry soap, look near the clothespins in the cleaning aisle) with the laced. Wash shoes alone with regular soap and a small amount of oxiclean on gentle with an extra rinse, cool water, smallest load. They finished looking very nice and we usually let shoes dry sitting out in the air on a towel for a day or 2 before wearing.
The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you’re good enough so don’t stress trying to impress or apologize.
Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don’t need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.
Everyone is faking it to some degree.
DO are real doctors. Rarer than MDs because there are less schools but totally real docs. My Mom with 30 years nursing experience says their training is basically identical, but DOs are generally nicer.
My 2017 Chevy Bolt is fully electric and has less fancy integrations than most cars sold today. It’s got Bluetooth and aux audio in but you have to connect a phone with a cable for Car Play or Android Auto, it’s got normal buttons and switches for all the car stuff too. It had a remote start until I ran out of free On Star months.
I agree that Starbucks isn’t the best for you but there’s a wide range of drinks between black coffee and milkshake.
Would have gotten us both mental health drugs and therapy way sooner. Would have had some honest conversations way sooner than we had them. We wouldn’t spend nearly so much time angsting about making other people, especially our parents, happy around the wedding itself because a lot of those things didn’t matter in the long term but took away from our enjoyment of the event for our sake.
I’ve got twin girls. We held off on smartphones until this past summer when they turned 13.
One couldn’t wait to have a smart phone and now handles her own entire social life through it and is happier than ever now that she can communicate with her friends non stop.
The other simply did not want a phone. We asked a dozen times and she said she wasn’t interested in one and didn’t think she would use it. Since she’s with her twin 75% of the time anyway we decided not to push.
Yep, looks about right. The photo to too dark to see the .25" drives but with all those boxes, it’s clear it gets use. I can almost hear that damn dot matrix printer though because I had that model one at home as a kid . That thing was LOUD.
These are common in Microsoft Surface stylus and my Kobo Elipsa pen uses them but I’d never heard of them until 2021.
Until I had twins I didn’t know they have a word for those of us born one at a time, singleton.
Now I catch myself using it in regular conversation and have to try not to. Example: “I’ve got twins and my bestie has twins and a singleton so we have to travel in her 7-seater van for day trips.”
They are two separate solutions for different phases of the problem.
Buying electric vehicles over internal combustion engines now is practical because most of us don’t live in a reasonable commuting distance to our jobs.
Vote for politicians that support pedestrian friendly zoning practices, remote work, and mass transit for the future so that less people are stuck in that situation in 20 years.
Doing only one of them doesn’t fully solve the problem, you either continue to pollute now or you are stuck polluting, albeit less, forever.
I’m sure it annoys people that both are necessary and if you happen to live in a situation where the first is unnecessary for you, it can look like it’s not necessary for everyone. But most Americans live at least 20 miles from their workplace so the vast majority of us can’t just wait for policy solutions.
I was coming here to say this. Before NewEgg, the best way to buy computer parts was to show up at a conventions center or fairgrounds, firehall or community college for the next Computer Show. Buy some parts in cash from people who speak barely any English and then either take it all home and start assembling or hand it off to the ancient guy chain-smoking at the back door and pay him to zip-tie it together in 5 minutes for you.
Years and years of doing this and we only had one situation when we cracked the case later and found out the guy has swapped the parts we bought for used Dell components when we were at lunch. Always took them home after that.
