Yep, my own domain name and email is really gmail, the university I work for part time is really gmail, all the Chicago Public School email addresses are really gmail…
Of course they try to hide it. People might complain if ibm.com or mit.edu or mail.mil transparently turned into Google.
It’s fairly easy for an individual or institution to run their own email server, but to set up a bulletproof, fault-tolerant, highly secure e-mail system requires real expertise.
I don’t know about those specific cases, but all of the schools I’ve worked for have used gmail, without any attempt to hide it. I mean, sure, someone outside of the organization won’t know the difference, but anyone inside accesses their email with a link that says “Gmail”, and sees a loading screen with the M logo.
That looks like good news, to me… If they’re chatting up canvasses, they’re leaving humans alone.
My DIL claims that you can’t boop a trilobite because they don’t have a cute little snoot. My son and I (the rest of the household) contend that booping is in the mind of the boopee.
This seems appropriate.
Yeah, there are a lot of different standards for marking the seasons, and none of them is any more “official” than the others. The last day of summer can be August 31, or Labor Day, or the day before school starts up again, or July 31, or the Autumnal Equinox, or the last day you wear shorts, or the last day before the first day you wear long pants, or the last day when the temperature is above Xº (with the value of X varying to taste), etc. All are valid, in the appropriate context.
As a follow-up to this, it seems that some U.S. government agencies used Microsoft for their e-mails and Chinese hackers accessed all their mail. My point was both that having your organization’s address @gmail.com looks totally unprofessional to someone outside the organization— this is of course mitigated by using your own domain name— but also that an organization may not want, or be legally allowed, to trust sensitive emails and documents to an external corporation at all; at the same time an unprofessional in-house solution will be much worse than using Microsoft or Google services.
Some had snoots. Pointy snoots. Dolphin snoots. Or giant spherical clown snoots.
Or … this.
Some of those are distinctly less boopable than others
Thank you!
I assume that one went extinct due to excessive booping.
Has anyone written a country song named Snoot Booping Boogie yet?
Let’s see… Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, collards, redwood, cauliflower, broccoli, broccoflower, romanesco, rapini, kohlrabi… Plus there’s rape/canola, in a different species but still Brassica.
If there are ghosts on Mars, is that evidence that there was life on Mars?
I mean, who says ghosts from Earth can’t travel to other planets?
