As others have mentioned, it refers to the gear shift. But it actually has a meaningful origin - many years ago, the gear order was not agreed upon. Many cars had a gear shift that was PNDLR (which I’ve heard pronounced “pendler”), where reverse was at the end. At the time, it was useful to tell the difference between a PRNDL and a PNDLR shift.

Of course that was all before 1971, when PRNDL was mandated by the US government.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don’t know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you’d even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it’s a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you’re doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can’t be relying on you.

They shouldn’t (and almost certainly don’t) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don’t show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

There isn’t just one reason. The biggest one currently can be directly tied back to porn. It’s also not just the simple existence of porn, but with our excessive consumption of it.

The fact that nearly all porn is the same in this regard is also a factor. There’s also a generational factor, in that younger people experienced almost-exclusively shaved partners and porn in their formative years.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.

“Having a Discord server” doesn’t mean what those words normally mean.

How exact does it need to be? There are plenty of ways to collect and organize the data. There are plenty of low-income schools. If you only gave out free condoms at the ones that were 90% black (but given to all students there), would that count?

In the very few cases where the trump campaign showed any evidence whatsoever, they actually did very well with the court rulings. Keep in mind that these were absolutely not cases of widespread fraud, but of localized errors that are common in every election.

The fact that most suits were filed with literally no evidence whatsoever was very telling, though.

Does Spanish have a super generic term like “significant other” or “partner” that doesn’t convey anything useful?

Side note, the types of parents you would be concerned about are probably also the type that get super racist about teaching Spanish in the first place.

How is that different from the Office 365 installation I have at work? Other than the fact that it can actually operate entirely offline for a significant time, unlike what the article describes?

Or did you redefine O365 to only mean the web version?

I can’t find references, at all, to XTX being a manufacturer, but I do see it as a trim line on the RX7900.

Depending on where you found this, my guess is that it’s mislabeled. That would also explain why you can’t find any info about it.

It’s true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn’t to get a Lenovo; it’s to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

It’s a similar story with HP’s Omen vs Elitebook and Dell’s Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

As for repairability, I’ve always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they’ve also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.

Thank you- this is exactly the sort of critique I had been expecting/hoping to find

I agree with you, and would go further.

A while back, there was a study (IIRC) from the UK that recommended against gender transitioning for children. No surprise, it created quite an uproar before it was retracted.

At no point in any of the media coverage or comments on Lemmy, etc, did I see any discussion of the study itself. To this day, I have no idea if there was an issue with the methodology. It seems that no one, neither supporters nor opponents, bothered to read past the headline. Many of them were very fervent in their beliefs, but that wasn’t enough to get them to look at the details.

This is also very bad for science - there are countless headline-grabbing “studies” that fail basic requirements. I’m sure you’ve seen things like “Is coffee/chocolate/etc good for you? A new 10-day study of 23 people suggests that…”. Which of course should get picked apart.

If we aren’t following the science, then what are we even trying to do?

(As an aside, I suspect that study was flawed, but I can’t confirm. It goes against the conclusions widely agreed upon, and would require significant rigor and evidence to support the claim)

I’m inferring that you are not in the US, so your local laws may differ. But in the US, your attorney is required to act in your best interests to the best of their ability. Working against their client is a quick way to be disbarred and paying a massive amount to their (now former) client.

That said, this whole thing seems like an exercise in creative writing. Your life savings would be too tempting to any attorney, and they would try to steal it? You need to make friends with someone powerful to find a good lawyer? You’ll need all of this in a few months, but not now? None of it makes any sense.

I have nothing more to add to this.

The potassium levels are very low, to the point where it doesn’t make a difference. While there are different varieties, most only have 45mg. For comparison, a banana has 400+, and a cup of apple juice has 250. The human body requires 3400 per day for men, meaning 8oz of Gatorade only provides 1.3% of what you would need in a normal day, even less if you’re deficient.

Sodium is a bit higher, from 160-310mg of the daily recommended 2300. Even if we ignore the fact that most people have more than enough sodium, particularly the type that are drinking enough for a hangover, a cup of chicken broth has 950mg. In fact, some varieties also have more potassium than Gatorade.

IOW, you’d be far better off drinking some chicken broth and eating a banana than drinking Gatorade.
