Machine Learning Definition
Equality is the assumption that social norms have a high bias resulting overfitting in the social sciences model, thus the solution is to introduce L1 regularization to create a sparse model that sets the coefficients for protected characteristics to zero. The complaint about equality is that it produces a model that technically underfits the sample data.

In 1918, pink was originally a boys color and blue a girls colour. Then post-war women's liberation came along and women's fashion was to try and dress like men, in masculine pink. Men's fashion it then seemed, was simply to not dress like a girl.

Catastrophic RAID failure means your ultra-secret data saw the attack helicopters over the horizon and locked itself in the impenetrable underground bunker and detonated landmines and deployed automated weaponry all around the base. Enemy forces were wiped out in their entirety.
The good news is that your data is secure and bravely refused to allow itself to be compromised. Bad news is that I don't think your data is ever coming out of there again.

Hello,
Unfortunately earlier today the host that your VPS resides on had suffered a catastrophic RAID failure and was irrecoverable. We had attempted to restore the data but were unsuccessful. We have since created a new container and emailed you the new login information. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Comet. kom-it Noun.
1. A person that passes through your life repeatedly who is intense and awesome, and when gone you are still in contact with that person in some way but they are not a continuous partner.
I have found there is a hole in the poly lexicon. The term "play partner" doesn't fit non-casual partners. Play sounds trite. Some of these relationships can span years and even decades. Some are very deep, with a combination of intimacy, friendship, admiration, and shared history. Poly circles use the term "play and pause" which also doesn't fit many of my "comets" as I don't pause. Many I stay in touch with daily or weekly.
Some comets come by every 18 months when the schedules line up or, to continue the metaphor, when the stars align. I have even heard some use the term partner-partner. As in, "they are a partner but not like a partner-partner." This is an example of that awkward lack of a term for someone who is somewhere between fully in your life at all times and a casual play play partner, that you like, but don’t have an ongoing connection with.

Ana is excited to have her comet Fredrico visit because they have hot sex and a deep connection. This is despite him living in Granada Spain and focusing on his poetry, while Ana lives in Seattle with her primary.
