This was the case for me last summer. Waited until the start of break so if anything went wrong it wouldn’t be too much of a nightmare. Wouldn’t be too shocked if others took similar opportunity. Depends a bit how many people have any sort of proper summer holiday these days though.
When Riker takes a seat he typically does so by swinging one leg over the back of the chair – if you search Riker Manoeuvre, there’s a bunch of images or clips. I think it had to do with some sort of back injury the actor had previously.
Can be! Pride-flag themed variant Sudoku series put up on Logic Masters Germany last year:

Ah good catch, thanks. Need to work on my reading comprehension lol.
Interesting timing. This is also in Humble Bundle’s monthly “Choice” bundle for June. Wonder if that’ll drive down some of Humble’s sales this month.
Been meaning to check out a couple of this kind of game this summer.
Yep. Not sure about the organs part specifically, but the shell is basically part of their skeleton. It even has nerve endings so they can feel through it.
Japanese to English is pretty tricky, in part because it’s more standard in Japanese to fully omit words instead of using a pronoun when something is known from context. A response to “What are you doing with that book?” in English might be “I’m going to return it,” but in Japanese you’d just say “Return” (返す。). So a machine translator would probably have to be very good at context to guess right a lot of the time.
I’ve also seen a variant where the king isn’t (necessarily) the real king. Each player before the game secretly marks the bottom of whichever piece they want to be their actual “king” that game, and the game is won when a player captures their opponent’s marked piece. Pieces otherwise move normally though I think this mode is typically played without the rule that you just not end your turn with your king (the secret or public one) in check.
More casual way of saying asexual. Sounds a bit less clinical than the full term.
In fact, the entire foundation of math – its system of axioms – has had to be fixed due to contradictions existing in previous iterations. The most well known perhaps being Russell’s paradox in naive set theory: “Let X be the set of all sets that do not contain themselves. Does X contain itself?”
In fact, there have been many paradoxes that had to be resolved by the set theory we use today.
The Fibonacci sequence tends to grow at the Golden ratio (approx 1.618) while the actual conversion is ~1.609 so it does usually work well.
In fact any Fibonacci-like sequence with different starting numbers eventually will work, after it gets past the initial crop of bad conversations, as such sequences have growth rates than tend toward the golden ratio as they grow long enough.
For example starting from 2, 9 instead of 1, 1:
2, 9, 11, 20, 31, 51, 82
20 mi ~= 32 km
31 mi ~= 50 km
51 mi ~= 82 km
This series is basically the reason I started reading books. Really great stories, favourite is definitely Mossflower.
Jacques also made an effort to write for the blind and visually impaired – not just in the sense of having accessible versions of the books available but also in their content. His writing involves a lot of emphasis on sounds and scents and taste, so someone blind from birth could still imagine themselves at a Redwall feast.
I think that overall just made the writing better for everyone.
To give you an example this often happens in schools. The victim doesn’t even need to be on social media at all. They find out anyway when a significant portion of the school is in on some rumour or organized harassment against them.
Mostly seems to be group chats / discord servers these days rather than on public social media.

Having worked in phone support I can tell you what this actually means. We were ranked according to three metrics: productivity (calls per hour), customer satisfaction (% of surveys responded to with satisfied or very satisfied post call), and quality (periodic random checks of calls we took where you got a % score and various demerits subtracted from it if you did or didn’t do certain things, like all the crap they make you say at the end of the call).
Higher ranking in those got you the choice of better shifts and slightly higher raises (maybe), and there were minimums to hit in each.
So yeah, that message means they’re probably using random calls to do QA checks on their employees.
With HJKLYUBN unlike these modern savages with their arrow keys.
Arbitrary units. The graph’s creator is lampshading that the graph is totally made up in an amusing way.
It’s basically saying “made-up units” and “these units were made-up too.”
A proper haiku
Must also follow these rul--

In case you want something closer to Stardew Valley, a couple of good choices in that genre would be Coral Island and Fields of Mistria. Both farming sims with their own unique spins on things, can check both of them out and see if either one fits your vibe better.
Coral Island has been full release for a while now, but Fields of Mistria has its 1.0 official release on Aug 5.
