I just stick the brush in my mouth and scrub. I’m pretty sure I get it all, especially since I do a pre and post floss brush.
Ok, she starts with the wicket keeper, then the square leg, point, gulley and backward square leg. Then the mid off, mid on, mid wicket and cover, in that order. Hope that helps.
Sportsball lingo.
I don’t speak that.
I speak English, fairly good Cat, passable Dog, and a smidgen of Cow, Horse, and Goat. (A headbutt does not mean at all the same thing in Goat as it does in Cat.)
If asked before July 13 how I would feel if Trump were shot at, I would have said I’d be pretty happy about that.
Now that it’s happened, though, I have to admit that I feel sickened by it.
mmm
I’m fluent in Sportsball and I still don’t get it. Must be some obscure regional dialect.
For the EV charging poll, is this person plugging into an actual EV charger provided by the store, or plugging into a random 110V outlet outside the store? The former is maybe a little dishonest; the latter is absolutely theft. Since I wasn’t sure which one the poll was asking about, I had to vote “something else.” I will change my vote if I get clarification.
If the EV charger has a large sign posted on it that says “For Customers Only”, then it’s still theft.
I don’t think the ones at, for instance, my public library are intended for library users only; if there are any such signs on them they’re not visible from a moderate distance (as I’m not driving an EV I don’t have much reason to peer at them up close.) Some chargers are for the general public. But the poll posited that there is such signage.
Morally you may feel it’s theft but I don’t know of any laws that make it so. The law hasn’t caught up yet.
Ah, I didn’t real the poll closely enough and missed that part. I changed my vote.
But the thread that I assume inspired got me thinking. I predict that as EVs become more common places like hotels are going to want to offer charging for their guests, but they won’t want the general public just coming there to charge, which would effectively block hotel guests from using the chargers. So I predict there will be chargers that require that require some sort of password or login of some sort in order to activate them. It would work very much like the free hotel wifi; you have to either get the password from the front desk when you check in, or in some places you log in with your last name and room number to prove you’re actually staying there. I bet someday soon hotels will have EV chargers that work in a similar manner.
I bet ALL public charging stations will have some sort of password or card or smart phone swipe required to access it’s services. There is no free lunch - and someone who poaches a charge from a place where it is specified for their customers is stealing. I mean, can’t the person just go into the store and buy pack of gum or a candy bar? I do that when I am on the road and need to use a restroom in a convenience store - seems fair.
I don’t know that WiFi is the correct analogy in this scenario. Publicly available WiFi is not limited to a specific number of users, and one person using it does not block another person from also using it.
I hadn’t really thought about whether they were stealing the electricity or just taking up the space, thereby preventing an actual customer from using the connection.
It occurs to me that while ours is definitely a “farmers’ market”, as there are multiple farmers and the vendors own the market: some things called a farmers’ market with whatever location of apostrophes have only one farm involved, and some aren’t owned by the farmers.
ETA: And I’ve seen at least one that didn’t appear to have any farmers involved, except in the sense that somebody anonymous and somewhere else entirely had grown some of the products for sale.
I was just using WiFi as a comparison for how a possible system might work for proving you’re an actual customer, not an analogy for the actual scenario.
Yeah, I realized too late that some people might be using the reasoning that they’re technically grammatically correct, but they wouldn’t describe the sort of thing I was thinking of when I wrote the poll – a place selling goods from multiple farms, which is generally what people mean when they say “farmers’ market” (whereever the apostraphe may be). So to clarify the poll – which one(s) are acceptable for referring to that kind of market?
Yes, I suppose “farmer’s market” would be correct if you mean a market owned by one farmer, but we don’t typically call them that, we would normally call that a “farm stand” or “farm shop” or something like that. And I suppose “farmers market” might technically be grammatically correct, but I think that would mean market where the actual farmers themselves are for sale.
Sorry, that was a direct response to @Karen_Lingel’s follow-up poll, not to you (specifically the “If it was free WiFi and the jerk was stealing that without being a customer of the store, my answer would change” option).
If you pay for the electricity- which is how it is going to be- you are not stealing anything. It could be a parking violation.
Some businesses around here have free L2 charging (rare, but I know of two). They don’t restrict via sign to only customers, but if they did, I think you’d be steeling.
My biology professor in college said that there was no greater honor for a medical researcher than to have some horrific disease named after you.
I think it would only be steeling if it’s a cybertruck.
Ugh. Sorry about that.
Stealing.
