Babies are delicious, especially when they are yours. I find myself kissing him all the time thinking of how delicious he is. So, i started telling people: I'm not kissing my son, i'm holding back from eating him.
Congrats to you as well!
Oh me, oh my. I'm old and just getting older. But this year i got the best birthday present ever. My son was born just a couple days ago. I can't wait to take him home from the NICU.
Nice idea.
If you pinch "imply" hard enough you can make it mean "infer"
That statement itself is enough to pinch all the linguists out there.
What makes that the "correct" version? It seems the line has quite the history and has taken on many forms. Fwiw, Wikipedia justifies "implies".
I ought to be jealous of you. But i'm much too lazy.
I keep looking for these two links: https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=list and https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=edit.
I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.
Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.
This is code for straight-up Socialism or Chinese Style "Capitalism". Picking winners and losers by the Government.
I would instantly agree that we need to stop picking winners like we do now under Crony Capitalism, but putting that power more in the hands of Bureaucrats and Politicians is not the solution.
Along those same lines, Windows 11 is dropping support for older Intel Processors lacking certain features. Supposedly, it's to improve virtualization, but how much would it cost to just not support that virtualization as well on older processors?
It's a boon to PC manufacturers that push Windows 11. The big PC makers say "Works best with Windows!" on their websites and don't highlight or give you any price break on units with Linux installed. Didn't I read that MS requires that they get a payment for every PC sold, whether it runs Windows or not as part of their licensing agreement with the manufacturers? I know the manufacturers get a big break on Windows copies from retail.
I thought Apple should have bought Dell when Dell went private a few years ago, made PCs with no Windows advantage, pushed Linux and maybe even Darwin on these new PCs. I'm not saying don't sell Windows too. They could keep the Dell and marketing separate to not dilute the Apple brand. They would have enjoyed massive buying power for PC parts, screens, batteries, SDs. They could have gotten Dell for a tiny fraction of their massive war chest a few years ago. Could have had most of it financed, too, just like the deal to go private did. This idea might have faced anti-trust scrutiny.
Apple should have recognized that MS wasn't going away and as long as they are there, they are a potential huge competitor in many of their markets.
It would have also been revenge for the obnoxious remarks Michael Dell made back in the 90s when Apple was experiencing hard times.
over the deep face of the depths.
"deep" fits neither the words nor the context.
"depths" It says water, not depths.
Heh. Only if you are interested. I'm not here to force my views on anyone.
I'm still here.
He's just a whiny baby pretty much 100% of the time. He's sad because nobody wants to pay him to advertise next to hate speech on twitter.
