I feel like that comes down to misconceptions over X-ray vs. MRI. Because you absolutely CANNOT have any metal on you for an MRI.

The frustrating part is that it’s just a giant fucking advertising billboard when they aren’t hosting events inside.

A lot of cities/municipalities started limiting the number of Airbnbs in their jurisdictions, or in some cases banning them altogether as a way to fight rising housing costs.

Replace the T with Texas Instruments and I’m in

I think the question being asked was more whether or not the Ming treasure fleet undertook blue water voyages, and as near as I can tell, the portion of the Indian ocean that they sailed across doesn’t really meet the criteria of “open ocean” (but my interpretation could be very wrong).

Whereas Columbus crossed the North Atlantic, which is very much open ocean.

Ship design varies based on the types of voyages made. The reason a lot of WWII-era USN and RN ships have a sharp upturned bow is to better weather the rough seas of the North Atlantic. If voyages are going to be more commonly close to shore, then the ships can be larger and flatter-bottomed, because the swells and waves won’t be as brutal as in the open ocean.

Add chopped fresh roasted hatch green Chile, and I’m yours

They fill the bung holes

Actual wasabi, or the “wasabi” we mostly get in the US that’s actually just horseradish and green food coloring? Because I agree w.r.t. actual wasabi

That insane amount of wasabi. Why even put fish on there; all you’re gonna be able to taste us horseradish. And it’s gonna BURN

You can 100% get a clearance if you’ve smoked within 7 years of applying for one. Hell, you can get a clearance if you smoked within the last year. You just have to a) disclose the fact, b) be able to show mitigations as to why smoking weed won’t be an issue while you have a clearance, and then c) not do it while you have a clearance. It ends up being not so much about the fact that you smoke weed as it is that you’re not following the law, and that’s the real clearance risk (from their POV). Getting a clearance is really about proving you’re trustworthy to the investigator.

Basing ads on user interests via generative AI is how you end up with porn ads for everyday products. This’ll be hilarious

Then the company can build/buy high density housing. Single family homes should not be used as corporate investment vehicles. Ever.

Doesn’t sound like they’re acknowledging the core problem with tinder: it’s 95% bots and/or people who post a single picture and then a bio that just says “insta:” or “snap:”. And then at least half of those end up being OnlyFans bots anyways. It’s just not useful as either a dating service or a hookup app

The key word in the guidance is “persistently” misgendering. So if someone gets the pronouns right 95% of the time, that’s hardly “persistent”. These guidelines target employers/people who willfully and purposefully mis gender/discriminate. If you’re trying to claim these rules make you afraid to talk to trans people, you might want to take a long hard look at your own biases/phobias.

My dad had a double lung transplant several months ago…we were told by his transplant team that, with transplants, rejection is a “when”, not an “if”. However, if caught early enough, the docs can do an incredible amount to combat rejection.

There are a few hidden gems (I enjoy Plague inc. and Rebel inc. on occasion, for example), but for the most part, the majority of mobile games are mtx-laden cash grabs. So the actual quality is commensurately low because the devs figured out they don’t have to put in real effort to implement gambling and hook addicts.

Nothing for the customer. It’s just convenient for the theater to charge more for the ticket.
