Hello [First name]
If you’re in a more casual industry/company, or
Hello [Dr/Mr/Ms Lastname]
If you’re in a more formal situation and know their salutation, or
Hello [Full Name]
If you’re in a more formal situation and you don’t. It’s ok to be less formal in email than in a written letter.
From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.
You can kind of see it here but it looks like they’re intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:
Too bad he took a 19-year-old with him :/
Me too, I hate it! Not in a “let’s ban it” way, just in the skin-crawly way that lots of people can’t stand to see pictures of spiders, or like body horror.
I’m not sure; usually this language is used when someone is convicted, that the sentence they receive from the judge has to fall in that range. I don’t know what “sentenced to 15 years to life” means except that the judge intends that she spend at least 15 years in prison.
I’ve had good results managing it by planning my week very loosely: I write down 1-3 things I plan to do each day (including work, exercise, cleaning, leisure, seeing friends, appointments) and it’s just enough structure to keep me moving without being stifling.
There were some good tips in this podcast episode: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/28/1190725808/tackle-your-medical-debt-with-life-kit
My favorite thing about this meme is that whenever it gets posted we get to hear these stories. I’m glad it got better for you!
My company built a big lab with expensive equipment and then laid off the person who was an expert in using all of it.
And Onion articles, and other satire.
I think it’s getting that from a McSweeney’s article: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/faq-the-snake-fight-portion-of-your-thesis-defense
The words were in the text of a (real) headline shown in the video.
Reminded me of Annihilation (the books go weird places)
I agree with you completely; I’m surprised that people are upset as well, but there are plenty of people in this thread who feel that the question unreasonably attacks men and is deliberately inflammatory.
Hypothetical question posed to women: would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man? Many women said “bear”. Many men took that personally.
There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.
(Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)
