Funny enough, that’s actually not true. July and August were originally named Quintilis and Sextilis (5th month and 6th month respectively) and were both renamed by the Senate well after Julius and Augustus died to honor them.

January and February were (re-added) later by Pompilius to sync the Roman calendar with a lunar year (364 days).

Unless you meant Pompilius, but he added those months for totally legitimate reasons.

I don’t get how people are still pushing this nonsense. Over 200 million people have taken the Covid vaccine inside the US alone. If it was that dangerous we’d see SOME kind of evidence of it by now.

I was in a meeting today that was supposed to only last 30 minutes, but ended up almost 1.5 hours because the PM spent 45 minutes complaining about a design, before they even read the design, then spent the next 30 minutes after being explained the design walking back their complaints without ever admitting fault or acknowledging they were wrong.

The worst part? Just an average Friday sync.

Republicans are geographically dispersed while Democrats are generally packed into urban areas. We lose 100% of the time if we try the same gerrymandering tactics. We need to be smarter, not play their games.

If you think I’m wrong, show me a single state we could flip from red to blue by gerrymandering. You need to show your work though. You can’t just say X state, you have to show HOW you could flip the state by gerrymandering.

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

I’m more curious how a hot water main works? Is there just millions of miles of heated pipes underground? And I thought a gas boiler was inefficient.

Just playing devil’s advocate but that’s 0.40 to you, but to a server who might wait on 100 people a week, that’s $40.

3/4 of all states are needed to amend the constitution. So 38 of them. I can’t imagine getting 38 states to agree on anything.

Didn’t you read the post? You’re bad and should feel bad.

In the grand scheme of things it’s less than I spend on my partner and kids.

Stacking draw cards is in the rules book, at least for uno no mercy. It says you could only stack equal to or higher.

Brain surgery is like a fart, putting it off for too long is going to cause major health issues.

I don’t want to spend any time with my in-laws and I’m over 40.

There’s a term for this. A “self-fulfilling prophecy”

As an Italian American I would have so much fun jarring all those tomatoes into sauce.

Just waiting a couple more weeks for my step-dad to harvest all his tomatoes so the fun can begin.

I live in a decidedly middle class area and people driving golf carts around is super common. Some communities even have their own golf cart paths to the local grocery stores, and those stores have dedicated gold cart parking.

It’s very common at least in the US south east.

I could see why you were banned from reddit.

You definitely could use AI to code, the catch is you need to know how to code first.

I use AI to write code for mundane tasks all the time. I also review and integrate the code myself.

Honestly, that wouldn’t even be so bad if the majority of them weren’t dicks.

I totally agree that the current institutions that are US police forces are terrible at best, having a police force in general is needed. Unless you’re talking about anarchy which while interesting, is a completely different conversation.
