I just meant in general English has lots of weird rules like:

> I before e, except after c Or when sounded as 'a' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh' Unless the 'c' is part of a 'sh' sound as in 'glacier' Or it appears in comparatives and superlatives like 'fancier' And also except when the vowels are sounded as 'e' as in 'seize' Or 'i' as in 'height' Or also in '-ing' inflections ending in '-e' as in 'cueing' Or in compound words as in 'albeit' Or occasionally in technical words with strong etymological links to their parent languages as in 'cuneiform' Or in other numerous and random exceptions such as 'science', 'forfeit', and 'weird'.

Which is funny because metric system is all about logical and consistent rules. So metric + English language is a funny pairing to me.

The English language and all it’s bizarre rules is a strange pairing with the metric system.

Didn’t start off as fraud. But when incompetence doomed the festival they refused to be honest before it was too late and cancel/refund. So then it became fraud. Also I think he lied to investors a lot.

Yea…. Gotta give that guy respect for admitting that. Most people would probably bury that detail, especially in front of a documentary crew!

What does this fuzzing accomplish? Is the idea to find an input that returns an error of some sort?

Yea, hard to have much sympathy for a bunch of rich influencers.

Is there something like this for ebooks? I use Libby for what I can, but wait times are often months long.

Thanks for explaining this. I’ve always been confused how the two seem to be used quasi-interchangeably.

Les Mis is full of that. There’s chapters on the history of sewers if I remember correctly.

Optimistic__Elephant lands on the moon with a little help from Neil Armstrong.

Also how you end up with nonsense like this.

Why did they bother with such a small percentage ipo? Can’t imagine a 1.9T company really needed 25B.

Dang, your thermos has been through a lot.

Agreed. A 0-100% scale is generally best to be presented linearly. If they’re all grouped near the bottom then that’s the point, and shouldn’t be hidden.

> Warehouse workers sometimes die packing the boxes as fast as they do. Then managers force workers to work next to the corpse for hours or be fired.

Got a citation for that? As much as I dislike Amazon, that’s a bit tough to believe.
