Finished this quilt top tonight (just put borders on it). Iโm gonna keep it as a hanging quilt. The good news is that itโs low key Halloween in many rooms in my house throughout the year (mostly my office but also elsewhere). So I donโt have to finish it by October 31.
Interviewee: We renovated my building a few years ago. And one of the they, you know, they're like, what? What features do you want? And I was like, I want a waterproof building. They were like, "ahaha"
about to have another interview, but just got breast biopsy results back!
no evidence of malignancy!
there is some weirdness that I'm hoping a phone call with the doctor will explain -- e.g. does this mean I really do have to go into their high risk program now (which I was planning to put off until 45 considering timing in my family is post-menopausal) or is this just already what we were thinking was going on?
Mods would like to remind you not to post anything that means we have to deal with Secret Service or other federal agencies, whether on main or any degree of locked.
I have been reading the book AUTOPSY OF A CRIME LAB and it didnโt surprise me too much that there was not any scientific data on things, but I was unsurprised and extra angry to learn that:
In 1985, the FBI convened an international symposium of scientists to set its guidance for hair matching forensics. Their report was that you cannot match hair. Hairs can at best be used to exclude someone. Like my husbandโs red hairs and my brown hairs.
I haven't ever had to work under a review number quota system, but yesterday I read an aside that explained employer motivations for implementing them.
If you want to lay people off, you must pay severance/unemployment. If you require that x% of people must receive 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s on their evaluations, then the 1s can be fired after an "appropriate" period for "poor performance." Being fired for poor performance costs the employer nothing.
@Cyborgneticz@alpine_thistle same. One part makes me think โdid Messianic get a bad name finally?โ And โis it churches like the one I grew up in which had a fixation on Hebrew Scriptures and things like the Shofar but also no real engagement with Judaism or Jewish members, just very into supercessionism while also slightly confused Jewish people donโt want to joinโ
Iโm sure there might be some that would get me but a thing thatโs fascinated me in Vegas was how turned off I felt by every video gambling machine I approached. They hurt my eyes. I slipped off them mentally.
I think Iโd be VERY susceptible to an old school analog slot machine. But video slots, my brain squips.
I wonder if itโs years of tech and phone and the kinds of video games I find rewarding.
@craigmaloney can they put a sleep mask on you and wrap you up in a big big big bili blanket? Because it was cute as heck with the babies in incubators got those.
