I request you post your "To-read," "Reading now," and "Have read" lists.

; I call this "Tilde opens Notepad" after yours, devindotcom.

; It is made in Autohotkey2.

  `::  ; Tilde key 
  {
  If WinActive("Untitled - Notepad") or WinActive("*Untitled - Notepad")
   WinClose
  else
  
  If WinExist("Untitled - Notepad") or WinExist("*Untitled - Notepad")
   WinActivate
  else
   Run "Notepad"
  }

I am able to navigate to the page just now.

In case there is still a problem: https://web.archive.org/web/20180827010038/https://www.comst...

NIH doesn't seem to make sense as "next of hop" or "not in here", and search for this initialism is obfuscated by the National Institute of Health.

Mind expanding NIH?

Are their only sites in Hong Kong and Macau? This is the site linked from the only location I could find in Google Maps.

They're all over the UK at least.

Ok, thanks. I do not get over the pond much.

How do interns work? (In the general sense of compliance with the minimum wage statute.)

Paid internships are generally above minimum wage. My lowest paid internship was $10/hr, highest was $15/hr. Interns, however, are not legally supposed to be doing production work or run-the-business kind of work. They're there as a learning experience similar to a classroom. They can do project work and attend meetings.

Interns generally aren't classified as workers. They're getting experience in exchange for their time. The employer can't immediately gain from an intern's work. As long as the employer follows the guidelines of the intern regulations, they don't have to follow minimum wage or pay the intern at all (similar to how students don't get paid by their university for attending class).

Unpaid internships are illegal[1]. Unless you are the government, in which case you exempt yourself from the law.

Your link says: There are some circumstances under which individuals who participate in “for-profit” private sector internships or training programs may do so without compensation.

Which is directly contrary to the point you cite it to support.

Is there actually an exemption for government interns? You didn't cite that part of your post.

Until recently, interns slipped through the cracks somehow. A recent court decision determined that interns actually aren't magically exempt from the law just because they're interns, though, so expect a lot fewer unpaid internships from now on.

The determination wasn't new, that was just a high profile instance of a successful suit.

I detect a nod here to Dwarf Fortress.

Lunacy!

Shaving soap.

Also see double edged razors.

I started using the soap, brush, and DE razor about 3 years ago. A year ago, I shaved my head to start off a new job with something different. Maybe I haven't mastered the technique, but the last time I tried the DE on the head, I butchered up my scalp. I suppose practice would help, but I'm too timid to try after the first attempt. I'll stick with the electric shave and touch-ups with dollar-store triple-blade razors for the head.

I haven't shaved since May, and now that bead-head is once more a big problem, I might shave before the fall temps get too cold.

It must surely happen coincidentally sometimes. Nevertheless, your choice of adjectives made me think you might have had this in mind:

'big, fat, slobbering pig'
