If it was truly her that said it, she would have been even younger than that. The book in which it’s written (which is known to not be fully factual and in which the quote is attributed to “a great princess”) was written when Antoinette was 9 years old. But it wasn’t published until she was 26, eight years after she became queen.

“If they have no bread, let them eat cake.” sounds like something I would expect a 6-7yo who had never gone without luxury food to say.

Do you have Google’s Messages app installed? If it actually does what they claim on the tin, maybe it was only installed on phones with the Messages app installed?

Ah yes, there should have been more “in the sense of fairness, let us talk about the pros of torturing your child into submission”. What is journalism coming to these days, leaving out such important information?

And some genuinely could care less about looking at either.

My favorite is a major credit card company with case-insensitive passwords. They also only allow a small handful of special characters, so the total possible character space is roughly 42 characters. Needless to say, I chose to use a password that was the maximum allowed length (which was sadly also only 32 characters).

Researchers have done sonograms of women before and after arousal, with them having used the restroom immediately at the start of the process to control for initial urine levels. The bladder of a squirter fills rapidly with liquid prior to squirting, significantly faster than it does in similar non-arousal conditions. When you pee, you never void all of the urine in the bladder, so there is definitely pee in squirt, but the urea content was significantly lower than in the pre-arousal urine. IIRC, the researchers determined that the added liquid is mostly just water.

So, squirt is pee, but if she’s gone to the bathroom recently, it’s very diluted pee.

It’s possible the form listed the drugs she was on, but the social worker didn’t know it was their job to figure out which results to ignore.

I’ve literally seen a Texas judge - who not only presumably court ordered drug tests regularly, but was also an ex-nurse - not understand how drug tests work. She assumed the lab would eliminate prescription-caused positives from the results. It took subpoenaing the tech who administered the test - a person in the same courthouse - to take the stand and tell the judge “we just list what the test found and what meds the person said they were taking, it’s someone else’s job to cross reference the two” before the judge stopped assuming the person on prescription Adderall was a meth head.

If an ex-nurse who deals with drug tests on a nearly daily basis doesn’t understand how they work, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it turned out that a social worker misinterpreted the results similarly.

Gorilla Glass (the super strong glass used in most cell phone screens) was invented by East Germany after the war, before the wall fell.

Not everyone has the means and opportunity to pack up and leave a shitty state.

The flip side of this is charter schools aren’t required to take special needs kids, either. Oh, your kid has Down Syndrome or is Autistic and needs additional staff or effort? Sorry, they’re not welcome here. They have to go to the public school. The public school doesn’t have enough funding to afford Special Ed teachers because it’s all been vouchered away to charter schools? Tough titty.

Public schools work because the money pays for things like Special Education and Gifted and Talented programs. Charter schools can’t afford either, so they don’t provide either. Even ignoring the possible pitfalls of for-profit motives, you’re going to end up with a weakened education system because without collective funding, all education must be geared towards the statistical average.

This seems like a shitty proposition…

My money is on it being a way to get around political donation limits - if you’re buying a product, you aren’t donating. Elon can buy a handful of these to give out to his buddies, and it doesn’t count as donating a million dollars to Trump’s campaign.

This amuses me, since I literally went from Gentoo to Arch because it felt like the same bleeding edge distro without having to wait for the compile time for half of the packages.

That said, I generally don’t recommend Arch (or Gentoo) to newbies. It’s great when it works, but the number of times I’ve had to troubleshoot some random dependency issue because I took more than a week to update my system would scare any newbie away. It’s a bit like the parable of the cobbler’s kids having the worst shoes, or the mechanic always driving a project car - when you have the skills to fix something, you’re willing to put up with a lot of bullshit that a normal person wouldn’t.

Some companies will make special versions for Black Friday that do indeed have cheaper parts or missing features, but for many it’s the exact same product as the normal SKU. They do the special SKU at the request of the retailer, to guarantee that no one can use a “price match guarantee” to make them sell more than the planned quantity of door busters.

She ran into a man in the woods.

The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There’s an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.

I bought a second PTS back in the day, and kept my original as a backup. I just recently had to switch back to it because the daily driver couldn’t hold a charge anymore.

I tried looking for a replacement smart watch that could do the things I need it to do, and there’s still not one on the market at any price point that can do

• Always-on color display
• 7+ days between charging
• Notifications with full messages on the watch
• Ability to respond to messages from the watch via both canned responses and voice dictation
• Smart alarms (activate up to 30m before alarm time, if watch detects you’re no longer in deep sleep)
• Customizable watch faces
• Ability to develop custom watch apps

Shorthand for cisgender. It’s an ancient word that’s come back into common use in the last decade.

Trans is a Latin root for “on the opposite side of”, so transgender means “opposite of [birth] gender”.

Cis is the antonym root that means “on the same side as”, so cisgender means “the same as [birth] gender”.

I remember this captcha. I gave up after about the fourth round. The prize just wasn’t worth it, and I wasn’t on a machine where I could try scripting out a solution.
