There’s been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there’s a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).

At least they were used incorrectly to be just as unpredictable.

Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

For example I’ve seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I’ve also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I’ve lived in that were far more than art.

Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.

Raking of leaves isn’t really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

I snorted my coffee reading this.

A secret service officer, trying to explain the general confusion, just sighed. “Nobody knows what’s going on.”

It does. In the form of taxes & donations.

Note: It’s Ukraine, not “the Ukraine”.

Calling it “the Ukraine” is Russian propaganda.

I hate myself for this.

Battlegate Univactica?

I’ve noticed that some of the best enuciators are people that have a lisp and have obviously either taken speech classes or have self taught themselves how to overcome their lisp with better enuciation.

Who’s the one bullying and gatekeeping here?

I’m not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there’s people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is “good enough” for me, that doesn’t mean it’s good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.

The only reason I have a frednica is because that’s where I chill and hang out with the Fediverse Chick.

This could be a non-profit funded by participants and government grants.

I see you’ve never heard of salaried non-exempt.

Which is, grosely oversimplified, a guaranteed 40 hours of pay with an hourly rate attached for overtime pay.

Complains about something being racist and uses racist term.

It’s amazing the difference a union makes for customer satisfaction isn’t it?

Note: USPS & UPS are both unionized.

This is incompetence.

I’ve been in and out of games for my entire career. Every place I’ve been has had strict policies on outside art assets. I’ve even seen every new art asset to require a monthly license review to prevent any chance of outside art having slipped in somehow, including any usage of Blender’s example model Suzanne.

There is no objectivity in taste. Coffee drinking is a spectrum of preferences from flavor profiles delivered by growing, bean blending and roasting practices to acidity, particulate matter, strength, caffeine content, additives (milk/sugar/etc), and other subjectivity.

I personally don’t enjoy most cold brews, or cold coffee in general, as cold coffee tends to allow more fruity flavors come through, which I do not enjoy at all in my coffee experience.

I however, would not turn down a cold brew if that’s all that’s available. I mean, hell, I’ll drink a cup of black from a rundown diner that’s brewed from folgers and been sitting on a hot plate for 30+ minutes. And if that’s somebody’s favorite cup of coffee, I’m not gonna judge them and tell them their coffee is inferior.

Nah, just don’t allow stocks to be used as collateral. If you want to use that theoretical money you must sell that stock, pay progressive capital gains tax, and then have the cash in your account.
