Specifically, Friday in Japanese translates to Gold Day, which also has a lot of cultural connotations with it being the lucky day of the week
Damn that website is probably the most frustrating mobile experience I've had. Demands you use the app, automatically and quickly redirects you to an app store page, then the app store page automatically tries to open in the store application
It's the title of an article?
In dry climates, the water actually will dry itself relatively quickly as long as there's not an overwhelming amount. In more humid areas though, yup.
The case is basically a guillotine for the tip of your pinky finger.
Early voting is an option in many places too!
Voting early is usually less stressful, and you can schedule it easier (because election day isn't a national holiday for some reason). Look up the dates early voting is running in your county, read up on what polling stations you can vote early at, and make a plan!
As far as changing minds though... yeah, everyone is pretty much locked in at this point. I just hope people in the US cast a ballot even if they don't plan on voting for the president. There are so many downballot positions for local offices that one's vote can have a huge impact on.
I think if people are resigned to not pick between outright vs lite genocide (understandably), the best thing they can do is research their local elections, make a list on who they plan on choosing for each office, and make the decision on the president (including the choice to do a write-in or leave it blank) when they get to the ballot box.
Angular, caffeinated and round?
I feel like there's a point to be made about the historical use of the term transracial, which described the experiences of people who were adopted into families of a different race than oneself as a child. In these cases, even though there may be superficial differences present, the culture the person was raised into is that of the adoptive family, and as a result it's what they tend to identify with based on lived experience.
I think there's a difference between idolizing a different race or its culture thereof, and having formative experiences as a member of that community, even if there were indicators that marked you as an "other" both to those within and without. I don't know if it's really worthwhile to tell people how they can and can't feel about their identity in this way, but there are definitely nuances that make racial identity experiences distinct from gender identity experiences.
Is that a Roland Quad Capture I spy?
Without scarcity, artificial or not, the ruling class loses their grip on power. Capital will manufacture scarcity to whatever degree it is capable of, because without it there's even less justification for owners to exist at the top of this neat little hierarchy they desperately cling to. They need to have their gated fortresses and their toys, cleanly separated from the rest of us undesirables.
They'll use AI to bolster the security of their bunkers while drying up the rivers to run them. The whole while, they'll blame any economic decline on the claim that "nobody wants to work anymore" after having automated all the jobs and offering no replacements.
I'd like to believe an alternative is possible. Perhaps we can come together and push for a better future, but that doesn't seem to be the way things are going currently.
I've heard there are hyper-reflective stickers you can put on/near the plate that basically blind a traffic camera's view when trying to read it
Days of the week in Spanish follow almost the exact same pattern as they do in English, with the exception of the weekend.
