In such a case he should sue the recruiting company

IANAL, but it certainly seems like he may have a case for promissory estoppel.

Teflon itself is perfectly safe. It’s far too large for your body to absorb.

But many of the byproducts involved in the production of teflon are much less safe.

In other words, if you already own a teflon pan, you’re fine. Keep using it. But if you’re considering buying a new pan, there are good reasons to avoid teflon.

You’re wasting your own time every time you choose to reply (you could just…not, and we’d be done here) without apologising for your own rude attitude and acknowledging the honest mistake. I don’t care that you made a mistake. It happens. I’ve done it plenty of times. I’m perplexed about your attitude on everything surrounding the mistake. It’s bizarrely combative for something you yourself seem to be saying is not significant.

btw, it’s not a “longer version”, it’s just that even the theatrical versions of the films (the shortest ones regularly available, barring perhaps some sort of “cut for content” abridged copy like aeroplanes and such sometimes have) are over 9 hours long.

You’re free to move on any time you like, I just don’t understand why you are so insistent on remaining wrong.

Bro, it’s ok to just admit you were wrong. Admitting you made a mistake and correcting your worldview is a virtue, at least among serious people. You’re behaving like a far-right conservative right now, and over something so incredibly petty.

No, I think the only version you’ve seen is probably just the regular theatrical version. Which was also available, at least at one point, on DVD.

As far as I’m concerned, the verb to google is genericised. You can google on Google, or you can google on Kagi or whatever your preferred search engine is.

Regardless, I think you’re attempting to distract from your own rather poor behaviour and factual error. Why be like this?

Confidently incorrect

One year after the theatrical cut of each Lord of the Rings movie, an extended version arrived. These editions add tons of new footage, increasing the Lord of the Rings extended editions’ length from the theatrical runtime of 9 hours and 3 minutes to 11 hours and 36 minutes.

It’s not even that hard to google. Why act so rude and so definitively about something you can so easily be proven wrong about?

The extended editions are almost 12 hours long. 9 hours is the theatrical cut.

I doubt you’re alone, but I certainly can’t join you. My most recent binge was last weekend, and I thought it was the whole season in one sitting, but it turned out there were 3 more episodes that released during the week…which I then watched all in one day.

There was added to these causes of offence his insult to the tribunes. It was, namely, the festival of the Lupercalia, of which many write that it was anciently celebrated by shepherds, and has also some connection with the Arcadian Lycaea. At this time many of the noble youths and of the magistrates run up and down through the city naked, for sport and laughter striking those they meet with shaggy thongs. And many women of rank also purposely get in their way, and like children at school present their hands to be struck, believing that the pregnant will thus be helped to an easy delivery, and the barren to pregnancy. These ceremonies Caesar was witnessing, seated upon the rostra on a golden throne, arrayed in triumphal attire. And Antony was one of the runners in the sacred race; for he was consul. Accordingly, after he had dashed into the forum and the crowd had made way for him, he carried a diadem, round which a wreath of laurel was tied, and held it out to Caesar. Then there was applause, not loud, but slight and preconcerted. But when Caesar pushed away the diadem, all the people applauded; and when Antony offered it again, few, and when Caesar declined it again, all, applauded. The experiment having thus failed, Caesar rose from his seat, after ordering the wreath to be carried up to the Capitol

— Plutarch, The Life of Julius Caesar

Some believe the event was staged by Caesar to gauge how much support he would have to name himself king. Had he not received sufficient push-back, he’d have gone ahead with it.

Larissa Waters named new leader of the Greens

The best choice they could have made, IMO. More experienced than Watson-Brown or Steele-John, more well-known than McKim or Rice, and more well-liked (by the broader public, at least) than Hanson-Young.

because ABC and Guardian want everything to be part of a live blog apparently

Gods I hate that shit. The live blogs are great on election day and other times there’s a big event with developing details. But on regular days they’re so hard to use for reference. That said, the SBS’s approach may not be ideal either:

This is a developing story and this article will be updated.

If they add extra details onto the end and make it clear which details are added, that’s fine. But if new details are woven through the article, that makes it much harder for people to keep up with it as it develops.

Maybe, but…they’re a blahaj user. It seems far more likely to me that they just misunderstood the news or misinterpreted what’s going on.

C’est vraiment une très bonne idée que tu as eu de revoir l’ordre des morceaux

Ce n’est pas vraiment mon idée. Je l’ai emprunté à “Dracula Daily”. Mais ca c’est un abonnement quotidien par email, sans commentaires. Et oui, j’apprecie vraiment les commentaires, qui n’existent pas dans un abonnement par email.

It’s also possible for (for example) the 1 and 3 year sentences to be served cumulatively, and the 5 year to be served concurrently (in which case the total would be 8 years).

Wouldn’t that still be 9 years? 1 and 3 are cumulative, giving a 4 year sentence, and the 5 years is concurrent with that. 4 & 5 concurrent makes 5.

To get 8, wouldn’t you want the 3 and 5 served consecutively with the 1 year being concurrent?

This doesn’t seem like the appropriate response

Dracula et en domaine public. Tu peux le lire sur l’écran ici en anglais, ou ici en francais, mais je ne l’ai pas lu en francais pour verifier c’est totalement le meme. Je ne sais pas aussi s’il est domaine public traduit en francais. Mais je le lis en livre: mon livre a des notes de l’editeur qui expliquent plus du context et de l’histoire.

Comme le dit @pseudo@jlai.lu, Dracula est un roman épistolaire. Et les entrees de journal et les lettres ne sont pas toujours dans le meme ordre dans le livre et dans l’histoire. Par exemple, le lettre de 9 mai est en chapitre 5, apres l’entree de journal de 30 juin. On le lit dans l’ordre de les dates de les entrees, pas l’ordre dans le livre. Donc, je relaye* les entrees datees ce jour chaque jour (s’il y a un entree ce jour—il n’y a pas une entree tous les jours, par example il n’y a aucun une entree aujourd’hui, 14 mai.

Si tu veux nous rejoindre, voici c’est la premiere entree, et voici c’est le plus recent dans !vampires@lemmy.zip. On adorerait t’avoir !

* une question pour les francophones: qu’est-ce que c’est la difference entre “je relaye” et “je relaie” ? Je parle seulement un peu francais, et cette page dit les deux existent.

It is a little concerning that the container wasn’t noticed immediately

I’m less concerned and more confused about this, personally. I’ve never been responsible for carrying materials back to the outpost, but in doing the packing up work it’s always been strongly impressed on me that whoever is bringing it back won’t be able to leave until the person at the outpost station has counted and ensured everything they expect to be there is there. How they could miss a whole box of ballots is absolutely beyond me.

Thankfully, they were still sealed properly.

Still, this is bound to fuel the conspiracists, which is never good.

They could, and probably did. The issue here is with the UK admins’ failure to act in a timely manner on the basis of some nonsensical reasoning, and their terrible communication.
