The issue there is that she loved Moana. He thought she would get bullied for that name, so instead named her after a bug. He put his love for insects over his wife’s love, and tried to rationalize it to himself. But his rationalization doesn’t hold under the least bit of scrutiny, because more kids would tease her after being named after an insect than a Disney movie. The saving grace here is that the cicada doesn’t come up in Urban Dictionary (kids love that shit), and it comes up after the Brazilian municipality.

Overall, I’d say he is the butt head, but it’s not a huge deal.

We don’t have to diminish their accomplishments, no; we choose to.

Oh, I know this one! It’s pi!

Oh, that’s horrible.

I was mowing the lawn when I lived with my parents one day and I chopped a baby bunny’s ear off even after doing a walk around before I mowed. Luckily he was gone in about an hour, but yeah, bunnies aren’t smart.

Oh, wow, TIL.

At least in civil, the reason is because the professional engineer (PE) stamps all plans and assumes responsibility for said plans by doing so. Plans cannot be built without a stamp. This is the case because someone has to be found liable if a bridge should kill people, and it shouldn’t be the technicians, designers or EITs under the PE, because they don’t make nearly as much. With great pay comes great liability.

All engineers not just civil?

I think that’s only a civil engineering thing.

Source: work in the industry, and “Civil Engineer” and “Professional Engineer” are legally protected titles. Other than that, it’s fair game. Like, there are “Design Engineers” in the civil sector that don’t have their Professional Engineer certification.

This is just a Cumtown bit

You know, I was reading that but somehow they have a New Mexico True certification? It’s really confusing. And great, cheers!

I actually would recommend the Rio Grande one! It’s solid, and more well balanced, I feel. Also a little nostalgic because that’s what my parents drink. It also smells like dark chocolate and piñon when it’s brewing so it adds a little magic to the morning.

It’s tamer, in my experience. I thought the NM Piñon one was somewhat artificial tasting. Could be because I’m not a fan of their coffee in general, though.

Edit: looking into it, it might actually be because the NM Piñon one actually includes flavoring, whereas the Rio Grande one does not. Neat.

Well, me, for one.

Please reach out to a local shelter to get them taken care of, and given homes. They’ll have much better lives, and won’t destroy the local ecosystem. Thank you for feeding the mama!

I completely agree with this well thought-out comment. In fact, point 3 is evidenced in this very comment section.
