Even more unbelievable is that anyone would spend $10-$12 on one vending machine drink in the middle of a ten minute interview.

I’m not going to look through the whole list but at the top of the alphabet I spotted Bard, Barnard, Carnegie-Mellon, Cornell…
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•US government threatens to strip Columbia University's accreditation39·1 month agoApparently they don’t. The feds recognize the independent agencies that accredit universities
The Department does not accredit individual educational institutions and/or programs and is not directly involved in the institutional or programmatic accrediting process. The Department recognizes only agencies that apply for recognition; many do not. Along with its recognition decision, the Department designates the scope of accrediting activities to which its recognition pertains.
So how he thinks he can force MSCHE to withdraw their accreditation, I don’t know.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.ioto World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine deliberately blindsided Trump before massive drone attack on Russia101·1 month agoThe US election was 8 months ago. The operation was probably still in the planning stages. After that day, Ukraine would have known not to share any sensitive info with the US unless absolutely necessary, knowing that a Putin fanboy would soon have his hands on it. Had Biden still been in office today, he may have gotten a heads up before the actual execution, but then again, why would he need it. It is not like that information would have been actionable to anyone except the target.

Not “pay” per-se, but it is a roadblock that NYT always throws at me.
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I feel like modelling is one of þe saddest jobs51·1 month agoYes, unvoiced “th” (think, thread, worth, thought) is more equivalent to þ whereas voiced “th” (that, then, worthy, though) is more equivalent to ð.
English is a Germanic language that got French shoved into it while stealing a little Norse. It was introduced to the printing press / movable type in the middle of a major vowel shift, and instead of adapting those tools to the language, major players at the time squeezed the language into an alphabet type that was already available from the continent.
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When I was a kid, "thongs" were footwear...11·1 month agoThe little bit between the toes IS a thong. The sandal and undergarment both get their name from a component in leatherworking. A thong is just a slender strip of leather or hide that is usually used to tie, bind, create loops, or otherwise fasten one thing to another. It also can refer to things that resemble the leather strip in form, function, or historical construction.
I think there is a passage in some translations of the Bible something like: “I am unworthy to undo the thong of his sandle”, which is not referring to flip-flops, but the ties or straps that hold the sandal on.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•Fetterman Says His Openness on Mental Health Issues Is ‘Weaponized”30·1 month agoYou are being open about mental health issues. Fantastic! I wish we had more and better coverage of mental health in this country.
But here’s the thing: If I have mental health issues and don’t show up to my job a good chunk of the time, I don’t have a job anymore. I could use sick time if I had any. I could use vacation days if I could plan my mental health crises. Other than that I would have to plan all my mental health issues (with proper medical documentation) into one large block of time in which I can’t work so I can use my Long Term Disability insurance. Unless you are rich or powerful, or otherwise don’t work for an employer, Americans don’t have the luxury of taking time for their mental health.
So instead of taking it personally that you are being held to a standard that your constituents are also held to, why don’t you use that power, to which those constituents elected you, to fix the standard for everyone.
Sweet monitor frame! Where can I get one of those.

That’s called a transaction, you shriveled potato. They are giving you money to do the thing. Like when I give my landlord money he has to jump through all sorts hoops like “make sure my apartment is habitable”

That would have be been a silly way to claim energy independence.
