I’d call it a miracle and propose beatification

Isn’t “kidnapping” part of this as well?

Both these comments brought a small welcome upward twitch to the sides of my mouth.

But I assume the real reason is the accumulated leaders of nations.

Plus perhaps crowd control, with the possibility of protesters against the crimes of the Catholic Church, and just the general press of mourners, as he was a popular Pope.

The real power move would be for Francis to have arranged for a bomb under his carcass that explodes when it detects McDonald’s-breath.

…until the end of 2019.

So, the numbers here end just before the start of COVID-19. You might as well just draw a line to the ceiling then

What if the out group is fascists and kings?

You could possibly mitigate the problem by keeping the battery out of the scale except for the few times you use it. Or add a snippet of tape you peel off and replace. Will the battery for the calipers fit in the case separately? It would be a PITA but so is constantly replacing them.

In the meantime, switching shelves at the halfway point would even things out. Both challahs are gorgeous, especially the perfect braid one!

Hi

Some aren’t able to spell it right once

As a hiring manager, how many times have you picked a candidate, called them, and they’ve decided against being hired by you? That’s you, having to go look for a shopping cart. Of course anyone who is going to write the note also said thanks in person. But if they write to remind you of the good points in their interview, maybe address some omission, you know they didn’t thank you to your face but mock you in private.

It’s also a simple signal that you are still interested in the job. You’d certainly never send one of you weren’t. From the hirer’s perspective, it makes their job easier by not calling someone and having them turn it down.

It’s perfect for that. Also, “did you lose my fucking email, you incompetent boob? Here it is again.” but couched as politeness.

There’s a completely transactional reason for post-interview “thank you” notes, whether you’re applying to college or for a job. It’s to remind the person, who’s probably interviewing a lot of applicants, of your existence and your qualifications. A good one includes a reminder of any parts where you think you shone. And if there’s something you thought of later, it’s okay to add that.

If their ego makes them take your thanks as sincere sucking up, fine. But you really do it for yourself, and the “thank you” is pro forma.

Of course this assumes you still want the position after having sat the interview. If not, feel free to ghost.

“Cue” is technically more correct, as they would feel called to respond the way an actor is called to respond to their cue, or a pool ball reacts to being struck by the cue.

But considering they’re lining up in a queue with all their comments, I’ll allow it.

Because without it his little piggy eyes would disappear into his puffy piggy face.

Federal agents have been in league with cartels before.

Even though I know it’s innocent elsewhere, something like “retirement scheme” still suggests some kind of Last Big Heist to me.
