Votes for draft terms of reference for the UN tax convention on 16 August 2024:
The whole article is worth reading though, it has lots of interesting statistics.
House spirits have a special place in my heart, but I don’t see them used in stories much. I just read a very low quality scan online, and now I’ll be buying a copy, it’s great. Thanks for posting it!
Ah you’re right, I missed the “impacted employees will receive” line. Tired skimming fails again.
And they just included them all in the ‘to’ instead of bcc. Very professional.
A bible interpretation question, but you’re “not trying to get religious or anything”. How do you imagine that works?
Totally fucked up and i hope someone in NY with a mobility issue files an ADA complaint with this easy online form
He pleaded guilty to 3 felonies and 6 misdemeanors for not paying $1.4 million over 3 years, including making false deductions and dipping into company funds. That’s not “filling out a form wrong”, and if it is, his father should pardon everyone who has been charged under the bad laws that allow people simply “filling out a form wrong” to catch 9 charges. Especially for the people who couldn’t afford accountants and lawyers to file the form correctly for them.
Pardoning your own son only for any possible federal crime, not just the ones he was charged with, especially after saying you wouldn’t, is gross nepotism. And the pardon starts from 2014 when the tax and gun charges are for 2016 onwards, which implies there’s more Joe Biden knows about.
Gross. Way to role model being the party of social equality.
Thank you for your service. <3
Bats don’t have grabby little hands in addition to wings, the wing veins are from an insect, the curves in the ears don’t happen in any animal, the bat doesn’t cast a shadow on the hand, and the artifacts in the fur are tell-tale copy paste with added noise. That’s just the second image, and only some of the problems.

I’ve never been, but it felt right. Turns out it was!
For anyone else wondering:
Female fingerprints typically contain more densely packed ridges than male prints in the same area. These measurements were then compared against ridge density patterns found in contemporary Egyptian populations. … The sex could not be determined for children.
This list puts US at ~297m English speakers which is the largest group from one single country, that is true. But 297m / 1,537m = The US has 19.35% of English speakers globally.
You are likely also greatly underestimating current internet connectivity, older smartphones have changed things for poorer countries a lot over the past decade. For example, India has only 62.6% of people as internet users - but that’s still 880m people and probably most of their 125m English speakers. Nigeria has 63.8% internet users, but that’s 136m internet users. And they also have 125m English speakers, who again, are more likely to be the people who can afford an English education, and also a smartphone. And then there’s Pakistan with another 100m English speakers and 70.8% internet users, etc.
Just 3 countries, (2 of which were 1 country 80 years ago) and you’re close to that 300 million count already.
The list also gives US as 92.4% internet users, for what it’s worth. A little less than 97% and not even in the top 20 countries by percentage, which is surprising.
The internet is less American than ever. It’s just that most non-American people probably have non-English language spaces they can choose to gather in addition to the English-dominated spaces. Americans, on the other hand, are more likely to be monolingual English speakers and so they concentrate in the English-dominated spaces.
And non-Americans are all so used to people assuming American defaultism in English-dominated internet spaces because it was historically hugely expensive to get online and was overwhelmingly American English-speaking, that it’s not even worth correcting when it happens the millionth time.
I’ve also put non-metric and US currency conversions in posts online many times. Not because I’m American or use them in daily life. It was just less annoying to convert them when writing rather than hear the inevitable multiple complaints about not understanding things in meters and dessicated jokes like “that’s probably $2 in real money”.
You’re either overestimating the accuracy of your assumptions about your online interactions and/or seeing selection bias from your immersion in otherwise culturally isolated spaces.

So if you were hoping for actual consequences from his base or even just someone new and noteworthy criticizing him, this is not the article for you. I’m glad the Trade Unions are going to spread the word though, that will be a good thing.
Delegation is important, and I respect how much work being both head admin and head tech would be. Good on you for prioritizing your health! And welcome to the role, EllaSpiggins.
