This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.

It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]

The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.

Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you’re the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you’re being.

They’re pretty loud in general so you would probably know, but they don’t tend be like to hang about indoors. Might just be house sparrows if you’re hearing them on the warehouse floor.

You should download the Merlin ornithology app. It’s built by the Cornell ornithology lab and has picture and sound ID features for birds as well as just a lot of generally useful identification information.

They’re perfectly nice birds unless you’re a farmer, leave out trash, or conveniently have an open dryer vent for them to loudly nest in like I do.

For those that don’t know, they’re a common nuisance bird because they nest in enclosed cavities like tree trucks or the siding of your house or any open vents. If you’re from the US (At least the Midwest or East Coast, not sure about the western states) and have seen *very *large flocks of small black birds dancing in the air like schooling fish, behavior called murmations, those are Starlings.

European Starlings were introduced in the US about 100 years ago by a misguided fool in Manhattan. They are invasive, but absolutely everywhere around the US at this point and that’s definitely a European Starling fledgling.

Yes.

Who the hell has golden cock ring kind of cash ^and do they want to be friends?^

This was my takeaway from this as well. I’ll have to see if I can locate an Arxiv copy of the full paper, but this just seems more like a thought exercise to explain dark matter using String Theory principles.

Edit: Here’s the full paper for anyone curious

I’ve never had the flavored ones, but not really. It’s actually a very smooth drink. It’s a neutral spirit made from sweet potato so it tastes kind of like vodka, but without the bite because it’s half the alcohol content.

You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

No. I think it’s a cat.

I get this completely. I’ll never bring it up because it just sounds weird to someone who doesn’t experience it themselves. I’ll be forever chasing that feeling of being done taking a test in a classroom and hearing nothing but scratching pencils in an otherwise silent room.

It also doesn’t help that a sizable portion of the ASMR content creators use it as an avenue to dress provacatively on camera or insert overtly sexual undertones to poorly done ASMR. I feel like these are the videos people think of though when you mention it.

I just want to say - I sincerely appreciate you! You’re a nice person, internet stranger, and I hope you are having a good day.

*And from a specific region of France that a specific variety of grape grows

Yup, me too. I used to be able to get lunch for a week with $20 back in high school in the mid-late 2000’s. Almost everywhere had a dollar menu where you could get a pretty decent meal for a few bucks. Over time the portions got smaller and more expensive though to the point where you can’t really do that anymore.

The $5 footlong hasn’t existed for years (honestly maybe a decade) at this point. It’s like a $10 footlong now.

Jokes on you. I’m the Grey Fox and you’ll never catch me!

As Nougat said, this has nothing to do with passing or failing and is just a consequence of measuring performance. If 100 people take a test and the lowest 25 scorers all have a 95 out of 100 points then they are still in the bottom quartile regardless of the fact that every single student passed with flying colors.

Showing a bell curve with no context means nothing.

I have that exact same hat. It pains me to say that your dog looks better in it than me.
