That’s why those heavy breakables go in the dish barrels if you’re a professional or heavy duty small boxes if you’re a DIYer
I’m not saying it’s impossible just inefficient at “moving house” scale. My kitchen would need at least 100 of those to get packed. Then you have to move hundreds of small boxes….

You should have thanked them for liking your idea at the meeting. A “I am really happy you like me my suggestion. I appreciate your confidence in me”. It a great way to call them out and not look like an ass

It would be good for a kitchen. A 3ft cube box full of plates, glasses and coffee mugs gets pretty heavy.

Very good explanation.
Wikipedia is not where you should stop looking but it’s a fantastic place to start looking.

Nah I just genuinely thought athletic career meant your success in a sport. I consider my job my professional career.

Sounds like my ex-gf. She would procrastinate on cleaning, and then clean for a couple hours one morning (not making a dent) and would be like “I’m sooo exhausted from cleaning so much!” Never mind that was just the mess she left in her room from the last month. But really it was just a show so that counseling appointment that was scheduled for that morning she would have something to say like “I am the only one that cleans!”
She also yelled at me when I moved in for (trying to help) putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, but because it wasn’t a full load, someone thought it was clean and put dirty dishes away. I couldn’t believe they would let the dirty dishes pile up for days at a time and not be grossed out.
It didn’t take long after having to do 5+ loads of dishes a week (I’m one person and there were 4 others in the house) where I just said screw it and washed and put away my dishes each time leaving them to their mess. Was an eye opener for them that I did not move in to be their maid.

Depends on the game, but yeah, mobile games are trending more towards online only for many reasons.

For being user-editable, Wikipedia these days is meticulously mainstream and almost never actually does opposition opinions justice.

Huh? I’m not sure why you’re acting like I’m suggesting you be burned at the stake. You shared your opinion publicly, which allows people to reply, contribute, expand on your thoughts, or disagree. They should certainly be respectful, but disagreeing with you isn’t inherently disrespectful.
I’m just pointing out that your proposed solution is not creating an equal division of labor, and is likely to detrimentally impact the relationship. This is relevant since OP seems to be motivated by a desire to keep an even division of labor for the sake of the relationship. If she is managing the mental load, his fiancé will still feel like she’s doing the majority of the work, because she will be.

Best to call something like this out on the spot with an even toned "that's interesting, as I recall coming up with that. Mind talking after the meeting?"
You are now faced with trying to appeal to the conscience of someone who probably should have known not to take credit in the first place or stab you in the front during a work meeting. If it were me, and it mattered to my job in anyway, I would set the record straight with my boss by bringing the receipts. I would then have no problem correcting others when the project comes up. Lastly, I wouldn't feel like I owed the co-worker anything and would be more concerned approaching them for an apology or explanation would only open myself up for further abuse.

It’s more for authentication (FB/Google login), purchases, tracking installs, DAU, other metrics, and in case we need to push a hotfix that forces players to restart or install a forced update before they can keep playing, but yes, that is a major part of it for games that monetize using ads.

Just do a double knot. Tie your shoes up and then do one more with the loops.

The idea of "legit" or "reliable" really shows a misunderstanding of what a source is supposed to be. A source isn't meant to be "I believe this to be correct and this person agrees with me so you should believe me too". A source should be actual data. That way people can look at the data and determine if it actually supports the claims you make.

Yeah it's a stronger knot AND it's more symmetric with the shoe.

Reply to LPT: Moving? Ask your friends who work in retail/restaurants/bars if you can come by their work to get free boxes. You're likely doing them a favor so they don't have to break them down. by marj0rine
Barnes and noble have the best boxes. And to a of them, too, to give away. Just go in and ask.

Just make sure you actually go and pick them up at the agreed upon time, otherwise it makes extra work for them. But those places constantly have boxes coming in and flattened cardboard going out :)
