I'm just being silly. I have an MSc and my wife has a MA, so I promise there's no ill will - they absolutely are as good as each other. (Honestly, if anything I think she wins out, as she had to write her dissertation by hand - mine was all on computer).

In the same vein, an MD is just as much a doctoral degree as a PhD - it's just in a different area.

It's like drawing a distinction between a Masters Degree and an MSc.

Everyone knows that the MSc is better than the other Masters Degrees, so it's natural it should be a tier above in the hierarchy.

"Oof. Right in the blocks"

"What a load of absolute blocks"

"It's the dog's blocks"

Camera zoom into extreme closeup. "oh... blocks".

Yep, that's the one.

When juries deliberate, they discuss their reasons for thinking this or that. Basically, by telling the jury to disregard something, the judge is saying that this shouldn't be included in the decision-making process.

Of course people can't just take things out of their heads, and of course the legal representatives take advantage of that fact.

a fun treat like being financially solvent is to generations after Boomers.

Lemmy was released as an open-source fediverse alternative to Reddit.

Just over a year after launch, r/ChapoTrapHouse, moved across after being banned from Reddit. This is likely what you're referring to. It had well over 100,000 active users on Reddit, so represented a sudden sizable influx of users.

I'd wager the biggest influx of people by far, though, occurred when Spez upset a majority of mods and many users by banning third party apps.

People looked for an alternative, and Lemmy was it.

But why are so many people who lean left politically? Because the Venn Diagram for "people who like the idea of a decentralised platform that supports everybody and is free from the machinations of millionaires", and "people who would like society that supports everybody and is free from the machinations of millionaires" is nearly a circle.

Is this pipe?

I think it depends on the convention used in each country, so there isn't one global correct answer.

In Britain the convention is Ground, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor.

For the international folk who might not know, "Cholmondeley" is pronounced "Chumly"

If you're the DM, you can just fall back on Rule Zero - the rules are what you say they are :)

You've done a really nice thing - I'm sure these kids will never forget it. I sometimes forget how much harder it was just to acquire stuff as kids.

Politics. It's leopards all the way down.

And guess what I found when I opened my phone up? That's right, wires. The thing is filled with wires.
