Okay, that's a fair point. They left too many blanks for the reader to fill in, and some will assume the problem is more widespread than it is.
When I put my Social Scientist hat on, I don't think the methodology was totally unreasonable or obviously malicious, so X would have to strengthen their claims to convince me to wait for court. But you're right, MM should have done better.
This was what sold me on standing desks too! Taking a dance break halfway through writing a Very Professional Email almost makes it pleasant.
Didn't realize this hack was so simple! Somehow I previously got the impression that the hardware mod was complicated.
I think this may be different than the Jeopardy situation. I know there's a general sentiment that Burton was the best option - and I felt the same way at the start of the process - but I've read a lot of behind-the-scenes accounts that suggest Burton simply wasn't good at the job. They had to spend hours refilming segments in ways that weren't necessary for other hosts, and the finished product wasn't as good as most of us were imagining.
Obviously the Mike Richards situation was ridiculous, and maybe there was sabotage we don't know about. My own sense is that the hive mind was wrong about Burton for that specific role - and that's not a knock on Burton! - and things concluded well for everyone.
PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it's an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn't work well on my skin, but it works for some people.
I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.
Thanks a ton for this, it's really helpful! I've been conflicted because intellectually I like things like "ol" or "ul" more than "iel" for the reason you described, but I'm not strong enough in French to be a good advocate for them. "Iel" feels easiest, right now.
Would "elleux" replace all uses of third-person plural, or only those including non-binary people?
Regarding your FYI: Sorry you've dealt with that, it's so frustrating!! It's so hard to know what approach will help people understand, and I can see why a lot of people don't bother. Thanks for working to make things better :)
Bravo to GPT-4 for that summary! Very cool study, thanks for sharing.
Totally. I was just thinking about how my very specific life circumstances mean that I'm otherwise distracted and handling it pretty well. But if I were in a rough patch right now this situation would be really, really, really hard. I hope the people in that situation are okay and finding new refuge in places like this ❤
At the end of 2022, it had just under 1.8 million subscribers, according to the authoritative Alliance for Audited Media.
I guess I don't have context, but that doesn't sound like a failing, unprofitable magazine in 2022?
Some libraries have headsets you can loan, which can be a great option.
Like another commenter said, VR arcades are pretty widespread and affordable. In my area, though, most of them use HTC Vive or Valve Index. I don't think I've ever seen Meta headsets anywhere.
