Love me a clarinet. Also a muted trumpet is pretty pleasing. I think though the most across the board genre neutral pleasing instrument timbre is the piano. It does it all.
I could see this very quickly being shifted to a norm of “we have provided you with an attorney, you do not need to seek additional council, and since there is no need we will not allow it.”
laws are only as good as the rich allow and the most put upon fight against.
I don’t work on the print side of things, but I generally understand that printers will print the sheets on larger sized paper then trim down to the final product, so even if its a spiral bound book, the raw sheets are gonna be on larger sheets regardless, thus the multiples of 4 (two pages for each side of the piece of paper).
its to tell you the page is not accidentally blank. laying out text for a physical document has limitations on the page count and generally needs to be in multiples of 4 due to double-sided printing and paper stock options. if you have a layout that can’t cover the entire surface of your print media but you need to include the entire physical sheet, (especially if its a technical / legal document) its best to just say “there isn’t meant to be anything here, don't’ worry.” in so many words.
otherwise you get people calling / emailing being like “your form is missing a part! there’s a whole blank sheet when I print it out! >:(“
Kids are gonna be like “is that V for Vagina?” why not herald the reign of a new progenitor instead; or go full on with Mustofviganion the MMXI?”
Don’t give your children a stupid name or honorific that will just other them with their peers. no one in their life is gonna think its cool other than you, and its just gonna cause them grief growing up regardless of how innocuous it may be.
he wasn’t self demoted, he was demoted to the rank of captain as punishment for stealing and then losing the enterprise, but got a dispensation for saving Earth from the chatty whale probe.
in a post scarcity society with industrial scale matter replication and matter/antimatter power sources—why the hell not? I’m sure anyone could have one if they asked.
yall seriously need some media literacy classes. or basic reading comprehension classes.
NYT paraphrased some industry people who posited that Chinese manufacturing benefits from small lady hands. that’s literally just covering a story. they didn’t say “us can’t make stuff because we don’t have little china-fingers and only tiny-china-fingers can make the pocket computers.” they just reported that some unnamed assholes said that.
But like, the commercial said that making games is just sitting on a couch and pressing a sound board to add that one sound effect in level 3, so like I don’t know why they want money for it.
Almost as if the 50’s were being plagued by the same dumb rich out of touch assholes from the 1920s and it caused some trickle down issues for society down the line in the 90s. Turns out 35 years ain’t that long of a time in the grand scheme of things.
Conversely, I have never worked anywhere that paid bimonthly and only ever at places that paid biweekly, although a friend of mine did some years ago so… looks like there’s different payment schedules in different places—astounding.
I will say every single place i’ve worked has not paid enough to live in the modern era so at least that seems to be a consistent through-line.
Anyone with half a brain who lives in Boston likely doesn’t want more cars on the road.
