I’ve felt this way about twice in my life, and it’s when I had a really well crafted Jupyter notebook running in VSCode.

It’s definitely the kind of thing you want to pop open when boss is showing some new sponsors/customers around.

This really hit me hard once I had a kid.

The degree to which those small early lessons will stick in their mind, much less something that’s ingrained in their heads every single day.

I think I get it now - if kids are hearing this stuff day in and out from the moment they can talk - that they absolutely could be convinced that Trump or Putin or Xi are some kind of divinity. Even when they later learn otherwise, there will be some kernel of that propaganda remaining in their head.

Some people reach a phase where they’re really ready to question these things, but I met plenty of people in college for whom that dissonance was just too unexpected and painful. They simply retreated into what they already identified with.

You probably can, just need to find out how the screen is attached. Usually it’s a rubber “bead’” that has been pressed into a notch to hold the screen. Just make sure to replace the bead too when you replace the screen.

The screen should come off from the window frame - it is mounted in its own frame made of lightweight metal.

It’s like $20 in tools and new screen to replace. Best to start on a smaller window for practice, but once you’ve done one, they go easy.

I like the last 1/3 of the soundtrack the best. It lets especially Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon have a last highlight.

The plot is indeed moot at that point though.

Depends on your country and employer. In some situations, your job description could be a big deal. For example if you’re in a union, you are probably required to only do the specific tasks as described in the job description.

Some countries may also have laws about your work contract. If that applies to you, then it’s probably important on your employer’s part to have the right description for your job.

But in many places, it really doesn’t matter: your job description vs what you actually do, as long as you aren’t being asked to do something that needs licensure or other regulations. Many job descriptions will have a catch-all like “… And other duties as directed” to fill in the gap.

It’s especially noticable in cities where the storefronts close with rolling metal doors, and the windows close over with shutters. It is very apparent that the city is “closed.”

Of course these doors and shutters have very practical purposes. Just that if they’re not common in your home country, it can be jarring.
