The IOC stopped accepting IBA decisions like this because they are a corrupt organization. The IBA never provided that information and we don't have confirmation of that, but by disqualifying her, a title was restored to a Russian athlete and they had made Russia's gas company a main sponsor of the IBA. I'm not saying I know anyone's chromosomal makeup, but I wish people would stop stating it as a fact. She could have it or not, but we do not know.

Before anyone claims Russophobia or whatever, not all Russian organizations or people are corrupt, but it's well agreed that it was a poorly run organization with a lot of problems. For what it's worth I'd be suspect of any country in that position. Sports are a big point of national pride and monetary gain, and people should be wary of any decisions affecting pride or money, regardless of the circumstances.

For what it's worth, sure strikes on a school is probably considered more sympathetic than strikes on a shelter. Unfortunately, much of the public seems to believe Palestinian lives have no value, yet somehow attacking children (even if they're Palestinian) is still reprehensible. So, rather than allowing people to think that the school was converted into a shelter for Hamas supporters, they just use the term school. Admittedly, I'm not familiar with reporting standards around the world, so I might be off.

In the US several hotels will offer a "continental breakfast" included with the stay. I guess you could argue that it's not really free, considering it's factored into your stay at the hotel, but there is technically not a separate charge for it and it's considered an "amenity". I know that this is not necessarily common in other places, so I thought I would mention in case you were not aware.

I think it is showing what you are saved as in the other persons phone. There are ones where the guy presumably saved a girls number but she didn't bother to save his and another where the girl saved him as do not answer. I think the point is so you can see how the other person views you. These are mostly joke features and the feature you mentioned is pretty standard now.

I keep trying to find ways to evangelize Going Medieval. The devs have been so communicative and consistent with updates. It's not everyones kind of game, but I've definitely spent more time than I should have playing it.

I'm seeing some hostility towards you as a hiring manager which is rough, because hiring manager is not necessarily HR. It often means the manager of the person being hired. So the person on a specific team responsible for filling positions on that team. I'm not sure if you directly hire for your team or it's an HR term in your case, but just adding this here in case it helps someone not be rude to a random person on the internet.

Also, as a person who hires people on my team (I don't use the hiring manager title, but yea) it's ridiculous how awful some resumes are. We don't use hiring software, and I personally review all the resumes, but we are a small team so I totally understand why that would be used. The overlap of people who don't like filling out the forms but who also want to be evaluated on who they are rather than what's on their resume is a circle. I don't want to dismiss anyone who doesn't have a degree, but just because a degree isn't on the resume doesn't mean they don't have one. Plenty of people leave off the years they worked at a specific job. I can assume months or years, but the form would help clarify that without wasting anyone's time. Decisions have to be made somewhere and if people want to be judged by people in their field, then their full time job will likely not be hiring, so sometimes they use these forms for standardization purposes. I don't like them either, but they are not this evil thing they are made out to be.

Not sure if you're in community with many women or POC that feel comfortable speaking to you about these things, but VERY basic issues aren't even being looked into. PCOS and cancer are two common ones. Things can vary place to place, but it seems like a pretty universal experience in my circles.

I just recently downloaded the sims 4 because I got a hankering to play the sims after a 5 year break from the franchise. I tried launching the sims 3, which was the last one I played, but it was having a lot of stability issues I didn't have the patience to fix since I could try the sims 4 for free. I am generally disappointed in the base game of ts4. I only have pets and seasons for ts3, but maybe that really is making a big difference, but the gameplay of ts4 is far less enjoyable in my opinion. Build mode is much improved, but I miss the create a style option which made the world feel more varied. You also can't change the size or placement of lots, and the worlds feel much smaller. I don't like the moodlets focused gameplay or the incremental lifetime wish rewards. It really forces all sims to share a specific path to an end goal when in reality there may be several other ways to achieve the end result. I'm also not a fan of the more cartoonish look, but that is more of a stylistic preference rather than a legitimate criticism.

DLC would likely improve my experience playing, but I don't really enjoy the base game enough to invest in any DLC at all. Overall, it probably wouldn't hurt to download if you think you would be interested in it, but I have to agree with the other commenters that it's just a DLC trap, and I say that as somebody who is heavily invested in the Crusader Kings franchise.

I have a kobo as well and I I did a lot of research before selecting it. Imho it's the best on the market for my personal needs and that definitely changed how often I use it vs an alternative. Some of the things I like about it are direct integration with the library and the ability to do audiobooks. I also like that it is only an ereader and I can't play games or surf the web on it. I think knowing what's gonna help you as an individual is the most important thing. If you're more likely to take a fully fledged tablet with you somewhere because of the versatility, and would otherwise leave a plain ereader at home, then a tablet is better because if you decide to read at least you have it with you. Like a lot of tech, I think it really depends on the user.

That's fair, but it might also just be that they think taking a small loss on providing the watch will boost sales of the phone for people who wouldn't have gotten it otherwise, will also increase market share, and look better in reporting. If you weren't going to get a pixel watch, but one came for free and you use it, now you become a watch user for their stats. Additionally, it further entrenches you in the Google ecosystem and familiarizes you with the product so you might end up purchasing the next generation. Also, it helps normalize this product amongst your peers. Completely understandable for Google to possibly take a loss, not that they definitely are. I have no idea what the actual cost versus price looks like.

I get that this is mostly just a meme at this point, but it's really not a bad naming system. The switch from plus to max was a little weird but it kept things from being iPhone pro plus. It goes

1. Item
2. Iteration
3. Tech specs
4. size

Which is more informative than a lot of other options. Not a diehard fan or anything, but the hate for this particular issue seems overblown.
