All the ones I’ve been in have.

I’ve never been able to boil a lobster alive.

Boil it to death, yes, but not boil it (to) alive.

This shit aint free

You shall not pass!

There is at least one thing they could do (not saying it would help the workers, but they could do it): Fire any remaining people then take that money and run! /s

Good gravy! I was giving NBC at least a little credit for trying to do mediocre journalism.

I know English is not everyone’s first (or even second) language, but if your job is writing for a living in English at least get some help.

P.S. I only know one language myself and couldn’t read/write/speak/understand any other to save my soul, so I think people that can are really gifted. It’s just that NBC obviously didn’t care about this article in the least.

NBC’s AI can’t write worth a hoot:

Hundreds of works were damaged at the Louvre in Paris when a pipe burst because of flooding, the museum’s deputy general administrator said.

The flooding led to a burst pipe and affected one of the three rooms of the library in the Egyptian antiquities department, he said.

Above are paragraphs 1 and 3 from the referenced article.

A simple but logical reading of both states that “a flood occurred (first), and the flood is what caused the pipe to burst (second)”. Extremely disappointed in this level of journalistic competence.

Now you’re talking!

☝️ this is it.

Drive Letters are also for removable media (floppy disks, CD/DVD drives, others [magneto-optical drives, etc), not to mention network drives. Not just Fixed Disks (hard drives).

It’s just an easy way to specify one disk from another.

Sadly, very possible.

Thanks for the reminder. This will be burned in my memory for YEARS to come. Bold marketing move!

Now let me get online and short sell - NASDAQ: CPB

Guess his “big beautiful ballroom” won’t be Professional Grade after all.

This should help: Snopes article It’s currently rated “Mixed” as it is still in the proposal stage at this time.

My bad dude!

Have you tried using 1 2 3 4 5?

Highest and best use of AI I’ve ever heard!

That’s the only “cooked cabbage” I’ve heard of; can’t say I care for it, but my partner likes it.

It sounds like we are agreeing.

What I said above:

I say might be because it states “employed as a member of the clergy”. I’m betting they would claim “everyone who knew” was a volunteer (i.e. not “employed”).

What your post above states (I added some bold and italic for emphasis in your quote):

This is the churches defense:

Kimberly Lowe, a lawyer and crisis manager for the church, said its preachers are unpaid and therefore might not be legally required to report sexual abuse of children. Asked if she believes the preachers are mandated reporters under Minnesota law, Lowe would only say that the language of the statute is unclear.

While I agree the Propublica article states they were required reporters and that organization does pretty deep research, I was pointing out the “lawyer way of splitting hairs” in my comments. Lawyers just love to define and redefine the meanings of words; argue about context; question “what was the ‘real intent of the legislation’”; sow doubt; faine ignorance; beg forgiveness; etc ad nauseum. That’s why lawyers are hired to defend in court. Nothing against Propublica but you wouldn’t hire them to defend in court - they are after truth, in court you want a defense which is not necessarily the truth.

Please note: none of this is meant to be “against you/your comments”. Just a slightly different angle on the subject.

Best wishes to all and I hope we can get closer to making this kind of thing just an unhappy part of history.

YMMV.
