Twice? Then set adrift on memory bliss?

Weaponizing information meant to be private … vile. Actionable? A tough question. Apart from potential social embarrassment for your friend, not to minimize the range of damages, but does the ex wife of the chat blaster detonating both reputation and stereotype, your friend’s boss, know her employee’s MSM status? The question of his job security and/or workplace harassment may be moot; that could be considered one reversed bell clapper ding. I was out as a working adult via observation and assumptions by others, presumably network gossip, etc, not any personal declaration on my part. If any occupational consequences, they were not overt. My parents some distance away were unfazed when I shared my orientation approaching middle age. It wasn’t “please pass the turkey gravy to a homosexual”, since the boat could have been slid to the wrong chap at the festive table, but disclosure accompanied by reassurance regarding HIV negative status, very front of mind at the time. Obviously, less control than one prefers is discomfiting. The estranged husband’s self-reveal as a malicious little b**ch can’t be unrung either.

This reads like the original select media piece doing laps around the thread unless what you mean is that you have corroborating sources beyond La Presse. My interpretation of a “source” is information that feeds into the media content, not the media content itself. The specific release date of May 9th serves escalating certainty; it’s either a deft handling of basic arithmetic or, again, it’s predicated on insider information the rest of us lack.

Reporting somewhat ambiguous if not erroneous. Some of the media either garbled the numbers or shorthanded the calculation variables. The math only works if the court applied enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody, eg, 1.5:1 ratio vs 1:1 would explain the deduction in this case. A straight 42-month sentence minus circa 27–28 actual months already detained would still leave roughly 14–15 months, not merely 15 days. Not all of the local articles referenced imminent release. The articles seem to omit remand credit component details and make it sound like simple calendar subtraction, but that’s a full year unexplained. Granting any additional credit, in this case apparently 50% (unless release “in the coming weeks” was a typo, broken calculator, or glossed over sentencing narrative) is not automatic yet can be uncoupled from crime “seriousness”. I do believe, though, the judge would have verbally articulated justification for enhanced served time credit. “Already served over 2 years” is not a trigger for the court’s credit ratio discretion. Surely the victim should have complete clarity related to Leduc’s status. My calculated guess, if pressed to hazard one, is that he has another year or so of prison time to serve.

In Tonawanda and Cheektowaga a collective stunned martyred silence as naked striploins iced out of flavour are placed in player formation on deck hibachis.

Buffalo officials are considering aggressive retaliatory poutine sanctions. Upstate NY nutritionists have endorsed the prospective measure as a valuable public health initiative.

There’s nobody I dislike enough to turn green with envy.

I don’t see the need to alter a well established Likert rating scale, but it would be useful if the platform went a further distance elaborating conventional score meanings. Most of my hires are 3 or 4 and I often repeat. One 5 post-pandemic but door-to-door 16-20 hours to travel to him. If there were to be a 5 locally there would be no importuning for that rating from others because there wouldn’t be others. One obsessive state of limerence at a time.

Four days in, seeking sequin-blazered exorcist for ear worms taking up casino residency in my brain. Bunh bunh bunh. Anybody know one?

Listings flirt with redevelopment potential, broadening and baiting interest. For example, stipulating a building zoning height reg while also emphasizing stable established income property advantages. Tenants cite durable leases. Both can be true and it’s a long game. Is the aging seller going to walk away with millions while setting up a soap box to advocate for his current occupants? Altered skyline to be determined. That said, a tear down following recent upgrades is additional sunk cost for a developer, as surely those improvements are baked in to the price.

The blow dry was on point. I came in a person and departed a gastrointestinal study recruit.

Correct. Also, Stock (+ Stock’n’Soda) and Club Unity are independent of each other, not operated by the same entity. What is unclear is whether they are currently leasing. A listing is not a sale. I imagine it would need to be sold prior to any venue closures, also depending on prospective new owner’s goals.

Classic pocket text, or he just mainlined one Red Bull too many.

This dynamic also occasionally occurs with Airbnb hosts, the scale quietly flipping from feedback to magnanimous compliance, albeit the added complexity of reviews sitting in mutual double-blind escrow. No such pact exists in the same manner for our hobby. The minute the provider petitions for a 5, the scale collapses into a loyalty oath in which the majority of consumers are complicit. If a 4 or blanking (refraining from entering a 4 in spite of overall satisfaction) needs defending, 5 has already lost its meaning.

Who knew?! An additional platform inconsistency to chew on. A 4.5 average without context is often a caution for consumers in today’s age, however warranted or not. These small differences can represent considerable reputational demotions.

See screenshots. I’m seeing 5.0 average on Peck. I looked up a local guy Dylan … 89 reviews: 83 at 5, 2 at 4, 1 at 2, 3 at 1 … average 4.81; platform depicts 4.8 as expected.

How would it drop to 4.5 stars average overall? With 100+ existing ratings and a 5.00 average, one additional but lower rating (assuming 100 baseline ratings) of 4 stars would drop the average to 4.99 … 504/101 vs 505/101. Does the rating system round down by 0.5 increments even if well above the midpoint of two nonfractionated scores? I thought it would round up to 5 in this case. At greater than 100 ratings it’s conceivable that not all previous ratings were 5. I’ll have to look at patterns with other advertisers. ——- Addendum: I see averages are in 0.1 to 1.0 increments beyond the rounded nonfractionated scores, so I think the 4.99 (or anything 4.95 or greater) would be 5, and an average score as low as 4.50 would require an average rating of between 4.45 and 4.54 at the hundredths level.

Not divided even a little?

Why I have this …

One Rotten Tomatoes review sums it up as a “punishing watch”, but it’s Richard Gadd of Baby Reindeer, buffed up. I think I’ll wait to binge the first half of the 6 episodes. I read an interview but it’s a bit of a plot spoiler, which I don’t mind in some cases.

How very dare Prime Video. Max penalty for icing. Just glide your Zamboni over it till Tierney drops S2.

Excuse the drunk history, but I thought that medieval regimes regulated prostitution. Same moral handwringing; appetite for punitive consequences developing later.
