One thing to keep in mind with a lot of responses is often when someone says “we didn’t learn about x in high school”, what they should be saying is “I didn’t learn about x in high school”. I’ve certainly heard former classmates claiming not to have learned something even though they were sitting next to me when I learned it.

When i was a preteen, we learned about WW2, mainly from a US perspective, and had a fairly large focus on the holocaust, including a visit to a holocaust museum.

As a teen, I had a class on specifically European history. In there, we learned about lot more about the rise of the nazis (though not much on Italian fascists).

Here’s the tl;dr on what I remember learning about then:

WWI ended with the treaty of Versailles which was not a realistic, sustainable peace. We learned about the economic trouble like hyperinflation. We learned about the beer hall putsch, and that it was effectively unpunished. We learned that Hitler then sought power through legal means by allying with a broad range of groups unhappy with the current government. As he rose to power, various elements were purged from the government. Concurrently, political violence from the stormtroopers suppressed minorities and other enemies from organizing against them. This culminated in Hitler being elected chancellor, and then the enabling act gave him ultimate power. In the night of the long knives, all the allied elements in the party were purged. After that was kristallnacht, the remilitarization of the rhineland, annexation of Austria and the sudetenland, and then finally the invasion of Poland.

It’s salsa roja, salsa verde, salsa fresca, and any other fruit (mango is common) based condiment that you’d eat with chips. Salsa de mole, we just call mole. Other types of Mexican sauce like what you’d put over enchiladas, just gets called “enchilada sauce”.

It’s a common thing with loan words to have them only applied to the subset of things that were originally imported and called by that name. No one out of Italy, for example would call pizza bianca “pizza” if you gave them a piece and asked what it is (I’m talking about roman pizza bianca, not “white pizza” being back translated).

Sometimes the opposite happens, like “curry” being derived from a specific thing in a specific part of India, being applied by the British (and everywhere else they exported it) to basically any saucy Indian food.

Reject bartering, embrace gift economy

Yeah, I think this is the most reasonable approach. Everyone else is suggesting that falling on your sword is the first line of defense, and it really shouldn’t be.

If you are the attorney general, and the president asks you to fire someone prosecuting him, sure, resign.

If you are just some person trying to get by, shooting yourself in the foot isn’t going to help anyone. If you refuse to do a job, and they just hire someone else to do it, you’ve only really lost a lot at the cost of a small moral victory immediately rendered nil.

Not to get too utilitarian, but the ultimate goal should be to have the best outcome for everyone, not to just make the first decision that seems to be right.

There’s a saying about fascism “Do not obey in advance”, and the idea is that during the rise of fascism, the fascists don’t actually have to make people do what they want. Lots of people comply with their goals well before being forced to. We are seeing many companies eliminating DEI objectives because it’s what the fascists want, even though they don’t have to.

This could be one of those situations where a frank conversation with the project lead to see if that’s what’s happening because there is a chance to convince them not to obey in advance. It could also be that the training is going for federal agencies that have been “legally” required to eliminate “gender” from any training materials.

I think it would be foolish to turn down the job without at least establishing that.

It depends on what type of licensing. One way it could be beneficial to them (and this is me purely speculating with no checking) is that any work done from outside of their company on their code base is basically free labor. Yeah, they’ll lose some potential revenue from people running their own instances of the code, but most people will use their app.

Feeder can do keyword filtering on titles, but not on a per feed basis, and only with simple wildcards. I’ve been able to filter out a bit with it, though.

Oh wow, they really did a good job of explaining it. It’s not too complex. I think it probably would be able to filter out some of the fluff.

If it’s open source, you could perhaps tinker with the algorithm. My main desires for rss feeds are:

• a way to filter out fluff affiliate link articles (e.g., 8 best gadgets on sale for prime day)
• a way to cluster articles on the same topic (i don’t really need to read 5 articles about the same news item)

Any clue if nunti could do that?

You don’t like the British accents that swap the “tt” for a glottal stop? “Buh-ins”

There are a million of these throughout the US. I think it’s done intentionally as a shibboleth.

Tbh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen hormone treated milk for sale in the US. They always say “not treated with rbst”, then have the disclaimer that rbst does not produce significantly different milk.

I just assumed the hormone treated cow milk was used for making industrial foods like cheezit cheese or something.

To be fair, most English speakers probably wouldn’t know what to do if you told them the term in English, the Valsalva maneuver.

The term that people should look out for is “creamline” or “cream-top” milk. It’s whole milk that is unhomogenized. It basically separates in the bottle, so there’s a layer of cream floating on top of skim.

I couldn’t say for sure, but I’ve heard it’s better for making cheese/yogurt/etc.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy it just for drinking cause I don’t think it lasts as long.

Password manager. For things that I forsee I will end up needing to type often, I might choose a passphrase made of actual words. Some password managers can do this, or create passwords made of syllables you can pronounce. It’s way easier to type correctly.

When I’m without a manager, I just look around for random objects, especially things with numbers and special characters.

CAD is a bit like programming, there’s a lot of ways to do any given task. That can make it tricky if you are doing some tutorials that use one workflow, and then start doing tutorials that use a different workflow.

If you want to learn it, do yourself a favor and take time to find a tutorial that goes from start to finish doing the type of project you want to do so you don’t get frustrated when you get midway through.

Like others said, if you are used to doing something in a different CAD software, you might find that the same workflow is clunky in FreeCAD, but if you start out with a workflow that works well in FreeCAD, you are fine.

Seems like a lot of great changes

It depends on the freezer. Some are “garage rated”, so they are designed to operate in a greater temperature range, while normally, they should only be used at room temp (plus and minus reasonable swings). Check your manual to see if it gives an operating range. I suspect that the more important factor is when it’s too hot outside for the level of insulation and compressor to keep up with, but too cold could be a problem

For anyone who’s confused as to how this sorcery could work, it’s due to the chemistry/physics of the battery. As batteries discharge, there is more crystal growth of the electrolyte. Crystals can store mechanical energy like a spring, while the electrolyte in solution absorbs energy. It’s like dropping a water balloon vs dropping a solid rubber ball.

I think body hair holds onto a considerable amount of water, so people without much body hair don’t carry as much water with them when they step out.

They want to merge with Albertsons, who owns the other half of grocery stores: Acme, Safeway, jewel osco, and a bunch more.
