And the ambiguity fits bisexuality better anyway. It’s useful too. You can use it to cut the knot on the bi-vs-pan debate, for example, or avoid silly arguments about gender distribution of partners, or say “nunya,” etc.

Someone’s not an ambi-turner
As opposed to semi-ennial. How could anyone be confused by this?
American scientists are on the forefront of nearly every field of research
Even if we were, I think we must concede that we’re in the bargain bin now, or soon will be. 750M of current research grants at my school alone, likely more to come, and certainly fewer if any new grants outside whatever pet projects the regime fancies. Best of luck, wherever you land.
Just wait it out. Domestic horses are good at dropping themselves.
I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.
In case you’d like to do the same, here are some time savers:
- More of a heads up but storage requirement will never be trivial, even with fs compression. Browsers limit resource cache for a reason.
- Unless OneNote has some kind of page nesting functionality beyond the usual outline/TOC tagging, typical browser-history population and web page length can lead to an infinitely-scrolling, memory eating, difficult to use note.
- It is easier to lean on existing browser and filesystem functionality by printing to PDF and optionally attaching wherever (such as onenote) for a number of reasons.
- Visual consistency of the print render will vary, but the PDF approach uses existing render in situ and is the only page snapshot commonly supported by progressive web applications.
Besides PDF, the most consistent local full-page, full-asset save I’ve found is the .archive format. It’s used in the Safari browser for local saving and is the basis for features like “Add to reading list.” Archive appears to be something like a zipped wget directory but includes additional session state information for future page recreation. I save both PDF and Archive formats and browse using filesystem rather than another app like onenote.
If you’re on Windows, this appears to be the aim of their Recall feature. Just be aware that it (and really that entire operating system) comes with a lot of privacy-related concerns.
Edit: mention .archive format
Agreed. It’s an instructive anecdote re: the importance of presentational clarity but also of charitable interpretation.
1960s was when the hypothesis of continental drift was empirically confirmed (leading to modern plate tectonics) but it was part of a prominent family of hypotheses (contending with isostatic models) more than a century prior.
The most complete of these models was offered by Wegener (paper in 1912, book in 1920). European geologists were generally receptive to it in the 1920s, and by the 1940s it was the working assumption for most field work. The only geologists to outright reject the idea initially were part of a North American contingent.
As to why Americans in particular, there were a few reasons, but a big one is that they didn’t read German and the first English edition of Wegener’s book was a draft-quality translation with issues relating to clarity and “tone.” The author was perceived to be dismissive of current work in the field (he was merely unaware of similar models offered previously) culminating in a summit seminar where a talk was given challenging the hypothesis and criticizing the methodology.
Interestingly, Wegener attended this talk, yet chose to remain silent. He never confirmed why. I would guess language barrier and shyness but I don’t know. Regardless, the matter was considered closed by those in attendance and his model’s acceptance by North American geologists lagged behind.
As a result, geology in American primary education saw the most dramatic curricular shift in the 1970s and 1980s. I suspect that’s why older Americans have this impression of a sudden change in scientific consensus. The true story is more interesting IMO.
That’s one of the easier fixes IIRC.
While DNC chairs have consolidated a great deal of power, have many ways to self-deal and dig-in using the bylaws (such as determining caucus partitions/schedules and being superdelegates for life) their position is subject to internal approval of DNC membership itself. That is, you can just fire them. You don’t have to wait for them to resign to call for their replacement.
Regardless the committee is more like an HOA than a government body. They make suggestions and endorsements, host the convention, support candidacies strategically and financially, and threaten to take that away if you break rank. But they have no authority to say who runs, or even who runs as a Democrat.
But most importantly, AOC has always been a grass roots candidate. It would be great to have DNC support, their backing and resources, but she’s never needed it before. I can’t imagine she wants it now.
In fact, I think it’s far more likely that the DNC will one day ask her to endorse them.
My favorite trend is where youtubers record a screenshare of a word document they have open on their computer that they proceed to read to me, slowly.
I’m especially delighted when the youtuber selects the text as they read it, as if to make sure I don’t get lost.
ETA: I’m just saying it’s a good thing we streamlined video platform monetization, so 1.6 million other viewers and I can not read that document together. I’m not sure what generation was responsible but, good for them.

Yeah unfortunately English painted itself into a corner on this front, and unavoidable ambiguity is a dealbreaker for scheduling, so… RIP biweekly.
