And the Tories were coming in for criticism for it. They basically did a run around the courts, which previously told them in no uncertain terms that Rwanda did not qualify as a safe country for asylum seekers.
Statements by the Biden administration opposing youth gender affirming surgical procedures were mentioned. I have seen commentary elsewhere that this is fairly uncommon. Can someone clear this up?
maybe she respected your input on the way the task got done
This is when I knew I was starting to really learn how to do my current job, when people came to me with questions instead of the other way around. It took about two years, but it was a nice shift.
Why do you list these three, they didn't govern under democracies? Saddam wasn't operating under a democracy at all, besides a couple of fake elections. Gaddafi had some elements of a democracy, but most power was in his hands with no way to vote him out. Sankara rule started in a coup (or revolution if that's how you want it) and was ended in a coup when he was assassinated.
If they really wanted to overthrow shit, why didn’t they come strapped?
Multiple people had firearms at the 1/6 coup attempt, this is well documented. I'm not sure why they never shot anyone, but it wasn't for lack of firearms.
Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, my pocket EDC isn't minimalist. I have ADHD, so I find that I work best if I can depend on a medium number of items always being with me. A few less things for my brain to keep track of, because they are always there.
Some recording programs can do transcripts as well. They're not perfect, you have to tidy them up, but it is nice to not need to go back and do the transcribing manually.
I love OSM in so many ways, but unfortunately its address resolver is kinda garbage compared to Google Maps. For example, the string "10392 SE 23, portland, or, usa" correctly resolves to what I meant, "10392 SE 23rd Ave, Milwaukie, OR, USA" in Google Maps. OSM needs the exact city (Milwaukie is a suburb of Portland) and the "rd" on 23 to resolve.
Yeah, some of the computer science theory I learned occasionally comes in handy when I'm reasoning about problems or when I'm picking apart some spec. My husband who attended a code school instead is a perfectly apt developer, but he struggles more. College also just gave me the time and resources to get a survey of knowledge outside of formal coursework. On the job, I tend to go more in-depth on topics closely related to the job.
I have really fallen in love with my carbon steel skillet for general purpose cooking, including more delicate food like eggs. It took some time to get the hang of cooking with it and I still haven't quite gotten the seasoning right, but it's a sturdy piece. I also have a cast iron skillet, but it's much heavier and I've never been able to get it to cook eggs. Since I started using the carbon steel for eggs, I have basically stopped using our non-stick pan.
I actively use a couple of appliances with a nonstick interior, an air fryer and a rice cooker. I just try to treat them very nicely but I know they won't last forever. At least the parts are trays or liners that can be replaced separately from the appliance.
I also have a very nice 3 ply stainless steel pan, but I find that I don't pull that out as much. Maybe because I'm usually not making the sorts of recipes that it excels with, like ones that use the fond to make a pan sauce.
I can see wanting to keep it very minimalist, but I've slimmed down my pockets pretty well already so I have some space to spare. Besides, the flashlight I have is about the size of the AA-sized battery it uses, so I find the benefits outweigh the slight cost.
My father got a toaster at a garage sale back in the 1970's. That was the toaster I grew up with. When I was moving out, my parents happen to be replacing it, so I asked for it. I did some research and it is a GE toaster from the mid 1950's. I have used it for the past ten years and it's still going strong. It's maybe a bit small for some slices, but it's hard to argue with 70 years of near continuous service.
I have a pocket flashlight, the Acebeam Rider. The smartphone lights are handy, but they drain the battery. The flashlight has an AA-sized rechargeable battery, but it can also use regular AA batteries as a backup. That is important during an emergency, when power might be cut off but AA batteries are pretty common. It has 4 different levels. The top level is pretty bright for a pocket flashlight, while the ultra-low level has a hypothetical runtime of 58 hours. And it was fairly cheap, so if I drop it somewhere it is not as problematic as losing my expensive smartphone.
