No, that's a person who always believes they're sick. You're thinking of hemophiliac.

Just like within actual government there's supposed to be balance of power between different branches or houses, there's this idea that the role of the press is to hold governments accountable.

(More of an ELI12, but that's the gist of the idea)

Before covid lockdown I made my living as a street performer, doing magic shows for crowds of strangers. In that very niche community, "Fat hats!" is a common farewell or replacement for "good luck". In this case "hat" refers to the donations in the hat rather than the actual hat.

I've heard that the issue for some cats isn't that they can see the bottom, but that their whiskers hit the side of the bowl and that's uncomfortable.

Hasbro was founded in 1923 and has a history of over a hundred years.

Yep, that's how years work.

The discipline is "mathematics." It's really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

They used to be called brothel laws. They're usually written as a limit to how many adults who aren't related can share an address.

I said "sorry" (I have no idea why)

Git won't let the second person push if their commit history doesn't line up with the origin branch.

It should be trivial to do a git pull --rebase to move your new commit after the upstream version, but as far as I can tell, no one on my current project remembers this (or perhaps they're using gui tools or something). Our log is full of "merge origin/main onto main".

Beau of the fifth column does 3-10 minute videos doing political analysis in what looks like a garage.

He said on a longer FAQ video that he's set things up to hide his channel's income from himself. He draws a salary that's enough to take care of his family, but he doesn't know how much more the channel earns -- he doesn't want his content to be influenced even unconsciously by which videos The Algorithm say paid better.

I'm on opensuse tumbleweed, and today after updating my packages, I can't use emacs. Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
