What if they're serving an eviction notice and it's no longer your home?

Honestly can't tell if you're trolling with this.

Any job that would give you an advantage when applying for a new job (ie. Prior experience) is part of a career. For more formal careers like Medicine and Law they are an absolute necessity and often formally defined, for careers like Bartender, the requirements are more fluid, but experience (and particularly unbroken experience) is very important when applying for jobs.

There's a difference between Women harming their careers by having children, and not being able to a career other than SAHM because you aren't able to get a career job in the first place. Both are sexist, and while it would work to increase the birth rate to remove women's rights, it is morally reprehensible, and yes looks sternly at the US, we see what you are doing!

If blasted into their face by an explosive charge I imagine it will also leave them with horrific PTSD as well!

I'm using the other comments to hypothesise but I think they are using Benedryl (an anti-hystemine/anti-allergy medication) and putting it inside a shotgun cartridge. The implication being that they will shoot people breaking into their house with a powerful over-the-counter narcotic.

I got stung in the same crowd funding disaster. In the wake if it I moved away from using sailfish as a daily driver but I've just bought one of these (in pic from OP) and it's really nice. I'm away at the minute but when I get back I'll be using it as a daily, with an android phone as a WiFi tablet for banking and the stuff that needs a "real" android device*.

*I.e doesn't run on the android emulator that comes built in.

Would you mind explaining how chutzpah and hubris differ please? I'm not sure I get it.

[–] filtoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I often felt from context it was closer to "hubris", as "cajones" might just mean brave.

Fair warning I haven't read this specific article but an MIT prediction has societal collapse happening by 2040

The french used to use an explosive device called a "petard" (old french for a fart), that was used to breach doors. However these would sometimes blow back and kill the user rather than breach the door. This was the original intention for the Shakespearian phrase. One was Hoisted (old verb* not used anymore but essentially blown off their feet) by their own Petard (or door breaching bomb).

More information is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard

*Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

 

I've heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.
