If they try to stay will you wrestle your upvote back?

I guess it depends on the labor market, it could mean more competition for the same pool of game developers.

Jokes on them, we used IVF, they got picked for who knows what reason under a microscope.

From your most photogenic swimmer.

Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, we’re all going to die. Come watch TV.

I’m pretty sure all insect fragments, rodent droppings, and the like all vanish as soon as they cross the EU border in accordance with food safety regulations. /s

I did start reading into said EU regulations a bit, but I won’t ruin your day.

I enjoyed the show as a kid and only found out about the comic later as an adult. It’s probably why the show sticks with me and I don’t remember much about the comic.

You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.

Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.

For those not aware it was a comic first, which if I recall correctly the cartoon only covers the first half of or so.

I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s

More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.

Poe’s law has only gotten more true over the last couple of decades.

I don’t know, it looks pretty sturdy to me.

My high school had a mandatory senior class that taught things like budgeting, investing, filing (very simple) taxes, and balancing a check book. It also required you to do some form of community service. The investing portion was bad as it was basically stock picking with fun money.

It’s hard to say how much the class impacted me as I don’t have a control, and I then proceeded through four years of college not really exercising those skills. I suspect it’s not a silver bullet, but still a positive inclusion in the curriculum.
