The minimum wage in Philippines is ~$6 per day in the provincial regions (350Php). $5 per hour for 8 hours is damn well nearly a king’s ransom; equivalent to 2,200Php.

Remember when the petroleum industry sold us disposable plastic bags as a way to “save the trees”?

Cliffiest: everything came

Cliff notes: it came from outer space.

It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks might be brought for teachers.

Every paper comes with an author appendix as cut-out scrabble tiles (scrambled) so readers assemble the names in the order they prefer.

Panna cotta. The pana cotta is the message.

Missed that

Philippines?

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.

SYAC: In the article, Altman doesn’t explain anything regarding what led to the board doing what they did, and asserts that he will wait for the new board to conduct an investigation.

Is snooze still the obnoxious 9 minutes?

Always makes me say things I didn’t Nintendo.

Started our winter stove with it the other day and am really happy with it.

The one I have, from a survival perspective, is a little risky, because when configuring them for use they must be taken down into multiple parts, but damn if it doesn’t make huge sparks.

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, you can toss your vault into iCloud Drive. If you’re technically proficient (and brave) you can write a cron to sync into whichever service you want via a local machine.

In addition to iCloud, I have a one-way sync (rsync) which functions as a poor man’s backup to get all my files into Dropbox; lots of stern warnings from Obsidian not to use Dropbox.

May I offer that it really depends on your note-taking style? I’ve been using it since July having come from linear note-taking on Cornell NTS. It’s way faster and much more interlocked once you get past the slight learning curve.

They just let anyone on the internet nowadays. It’s GIF, not GIF. Get it right.

Can’t we though? All language is arbitrary at first. A person (or community) often names things, sometimes from pure scratch. The words “Kodak” and “Xerox” come to mind.
