    Is Siri a name that gets used in america

    Why did they choose the name?

    I met a girl i know called Siri just now is why i thought of it. It's a lovely name, not as good with english pronounciation.

    I didn't know either, so to wikipedia:
    Siri, Inc. was founded in 2007 by Dag Kittlaus (CEO), Adam Cheyer (VP Engineering), and Tom Gruber (CTO/VP Design), together with Norman Winarsky from SRI International's venture group, and is named after SRI (although Kittlaus claims he wanted to name the daughter he never had "Siri", Norwegian for "beautiful woman who leads you to victory", he cites as primary "the fact that [it] is easy to spell [and] easy to say"[8]).

    This morning was a morning of "Oh hey, there's a bunch of assessed compliance training you need to complete in the next week or the FSA say we have to reduce your authority limits".

    EDIT: To be completely clear, the requirement to have completed this stuff effectively by christmas was brought in in April.

    the head boss gave us all these little gift bags of assorted Lindt Lindor truffles and none of them are labeled what flavor they are. And the colors aren't exactly that indicative. I swear I'm going to smash someone's face in if I bite into anything mint or coconut.

    I don't think Lindor Truffles come in those flavors. It's milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, peanut butter and I think that's it.

    Yellow are white chocolate, red are milk, blue are semisweet. I think the black ones are extra dark or coffee or something. The orange/copper ones are peanut butter.

    Ours is "read this stuff and complete the online assessments that only intermittently actually record results".

    So I burned through most of it in a morning and I'll check tomorrow to see if the thingy still thinks I need to do it or not.

    Ah yes, I just found the full guide on their website. Looks like I'm safe.


    Gold = white chocolate
    Red = milk chocolate
    Dark/Royal Blue = 39% minimum cocoa dark chocolate
    Black = 60% minimum cocoa dark chocolate shell with 39% minimum truffle center
    Light/Sky Blue = stracciatella (white chocolate shell with cocoa nibs / white chocolate center)
    Light Green = mint
    Dark Green = peppermint
    Bronze/Copper = peanut butter
    Hot Pink = raspberry
    Brown = hazelnut
    Orange = Orange
    Dark Brown = Coffee

    Bless your heart.

    I feel like I'd be more comfortable with open-carry than with concealed-carry, and yet it would appear concealed-carry is more prevalent. Is my understanding correct? I am gun knowledge babby.

    Open carry has an implicit issue of threat. No one should know you have a gun, if you need it, it should be an emergency situation. Wild west situations are crazy, the threat of a gun being open means the person is more likely to wave their dick around. Or someone's more likely to try and take it.

    Is my understanding.

    Your obliques! Or just as likely the lower portion of your lats because working them out is crazy difficult :P

    I'd say lift with your legs, but that advice is trite when you're lifting + carrying particularly heavy things! You can't really control which muscles get engaged

    Red is milk chocolate, black is dark. I think that's all the flavours. Brown would be praline or nut if it exists.

    Re-linking for context: http://harpers.org/archive/2010/08/happiness-is-a-worn-gun/?single=1

    Nothing mind-blowing, in my opinion. Disregarding recent tragedies for a moment (which is hard to do, admittedly), I'm still generally against handgun ownership. That being said, I'd be entirely satisfied with the current status quo re: gun ownership if it included more thorough training and education. And of course the other things people have stated: Restricting 3rd-party sales, regulating gun shows, etc.

    All in all, even as an outside observer from your northern neighbour, I don't think there's a major gun problem in America. There are some tweaks that ought to be made, I believe, but what we can learn primarily from this most recent shooting is the importance of connecting with our fellow man, our neighbours, our coworkers and especially our family. Maybe it's a mental health problem, maybe it's a societal problem with regards to feeling isolated, but ultimately these sorts of things slip past people because of a communication problem.

    Of course, even then it's hard to imagine what could be done to prevent someone who thinks it's okay to shoot a classroom of young children. But sometimes we can't hope to ever really understand why tragedies like this happen - though that doesn't mean we should stop trying.

    I dunno. Just my thoughts.
