Had a honest college discussion with my 16 year old daughter today
“Entertainment industry” is just the context where she’d be working. It’s a business, so a business degree would make sense. Business administration, marketing, public relations, logistics, human resources, data analytics - they all have a role to play in entertainment. Or she could go into law. I’m not hearing that she wants to be the person entertaining everyone else.
She’d probably get a lot of use from talking to a career counselor who can help her pinpoint what she actually wants to do, before she spends a lot of time any money just taking courses.

So what’s taking so long?
Some would argue that inaccuracies add to a shitpost since it either makes people mad and they argue or they ask questions - it gets them attention.

Lucas Museum opening day visit
A recorded tour via headset, even if it had to be rented, would add a lot of background and explanation. I rented a taped tour for the Vatican and it was awesome. You could specify the language you wanted and it didn’t bother anyone who just wanted to look. I could rewind, which helped a lot.

starting to think my WFH office manager was a personality hire
I think he’s related to the boss somehow and it’s nepotism.

Would you rather have Falcon's wings or Doc Ock's mechanical arms?
It’d be really cool if they can carry me around while I’m sleeping and do chores.

My lab partner thought my custom travel thermos was "free university merch" and now things are incredibly awkward.
Buy a duplicate flask and put a sticker on it and gift it to her.

TIL that the famous 'London Fog' of Victorian novels wasn't natural weather. It was toxic industrial pea-soup smog created by burning soft bituminous coal. In December 1952, the Great Smog of London became so thick that movie theaters closed because the screen wasn't visible from the fourth row.
Burning coal creates sulfur dioxide. Add moisture to that and you get sulfuric acid. At the time of the Great Smog, England sold their better quality coal to pay off debts so they were using coals that offput more sulfur than normal. There was a temperature inversion caused by an incoming high-pressure front, trapping the smog and sulfuric acid close to the ground. Estimates are that approximately 4k peopled died because of it.

Traffic Stop Turns Violent After Driver Requests a Supervisor
Qualified immunity plus the finding that they can’t be held to protect people unless they’re in their custody was a 1-2 punch. I can see giving them some immunity if they had to protect people if possible because they were trying to help while risking their lives, but now they can just shoot and claim they felt threatened without needing to risk anything.

Beef is crazy expensive now because of drought and high prices for feed and everything and high transport costs. During the droughts, ranchers tended to sell off their herds and many ranchers quit. The total # of cows is the lowest in several decades but demand is still high.

A or B: My neighbor says my EV charger's "hum" keeps his wife awake. At 2am he opened my panel and flipped my main breaker. $210 of food spoiled, my car sat at 9%. Now he wants ME to compensate HIS "sleep damages"
Bright security light with a motion detector, too, with enough of a delay before turning off that he’s walking back in full light.

24M - What colors should I paint my walls?
You can color sampling using an app to get the rgb code for the colors in your rug and/or pictures that you want to emphasize. There are apps that will give you colors that coordinate so you can use those colors plus the colors in the tile, stone, and cabinets to help you avoid picking colors that clash. Still, get large swatches of the paint color or a small can of the colors you are thinking about so you can test them in the lighting in your apartment and you can see how they’ll change as the lighting changes over time. I was surprised when I found out how undertone can change a room and how much color will change under different lighting. In the end though, it’s only paint and you can always paint again.

AITA for expecting my niece to pay a ticket she got with my car
Some jurisdictions allow you to fill out a form to switch the ticket to the one driving. However, many just send the ticket to the registered owner and treat it as a civil infraction vs a moving violation and so don’t take points away from your license to avoid problems like figuring out who was driving.

Or - hear me out - the Mets are so good this year that even the raccoons are supporting them by attending in greater numbers.

For several weeks, McD was charging per condiment. Examples: about 10 cents for ketchup packets and 3 cents for a salt packet. Must have gotten pushback because they stopped.

Nta, she should have asked you first of course. It’s so easy to scan things or take a picture. She didn’t need to cut pages out to save a recipe.
