#STANDARD
As you told me a while ago, Ozric Tentacles seem to have been able to maintain an incredibly high standard for many years.

There's no sign of them slipping any time soon.

This is pretty standard in retail/customer facing businesses. It’s stupid in that industry too.

It’s purely aesthetics from the marketing department.

People voted for government to be run like a business.

To a physicalist, "when is an AI conscious?" gets hand-wavy. (Maybe consciousness is hand-wavy?) But yes, buy my non-physicalist book. (We probably don't need to break the Standard Model): www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9F8SVX2/

Finally, I wanna meet it. I tell guys on dating apps “be better to talk to than a toaster” as a standard and I fear my standards are impossible for dating apps.

Pig Hegseth apparently doesn't know that the United States military had a physical fitness standard based on a soldiers MOS since 1906. I know that during the time I was in the Army, a Pentagon general didn't have to meet the same PT standard qualifications as an Airborne Special Forces operator.

Trains leaving a minute early has become a thing!! I grew up in Switzerland, the gold standard for how to operate trains. Not done there. How has this become a thing in the UK?? As a cultural artefact, what does it say about how we’re changing? Baffling.

Yes. Aloe aristata (Lace Aloe) is rated safe for African fat-tailed gecko enclosures. Compact, clumping aloe that stays well under 6 inches — much smaller than standard Aloe…

#RomeliaWarChronicles ep.1
-So far, just okay.
-First 1/3 of this episode was you standard MC gets kicked out of the party story.
-With Romelia regrouping in her hometown and then leaving, the next part of the story is unpredictable.
-I loved seeing Romelia's negotiating skills.

Really appreciate @jamellebouie.net, @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social, & Michelle Cottle's thoughtful discussion on the moral and cultural issues in the Cornell case, especially the confusion between the legal standard of consent & the moral standard of care.

LOGIC! La sport spre exemplu, recomandările Standard & Poor’s pt România spun cǎ, în esență, în loc de stadioane scumpe la Târgoviște & Tg Jiu ar fi fost mai bune drumuri spre Pitești & Craiova, cǎtre autostrăzi + sport de masă copii în locul echipelor primăriei!

Is it standard to say "delete the wondow"?

I've had two basement water specialists come out, and both used that phrase to mean fill in the window that's leaking water... as if this were a game of Minecraft.

Anyway, not deleting it.
