I read this as an excuse to take further control of the internet and ignore the 1st amendment.

I think of it a bit like "Wheel of Fortune". The stories of the gods are made to make the listener seem clever.

I've always wanted to send AT&T an invoice on a contract and add in my taxes after the fact.

Layoffs like this mean you can blame external forces like the economy rather than saying, "our projects failed". Some of these layoffs may have been coming anyway, but not the corporate statement about them is different.

You triage which will get done and your velocity goes down if you have a lot of support tickets. This will make your velocity a meaningful metric over time, reflecting your rate of production toward new features. Orrrr.....you assign point

The Time/Life book "Mathematics" published 1969. I was in 2nd grade, liked mathematics and saw a book with that name and pictures. It was a high level survey of a lot of mathematical concepts, explaining things in a way I c

I'm offering lottery tickets for half off. They are used, but have a higher expected value than the new ones.

They are hard and slick on the outside to allow your head to slide along with your body, instead of snapping; protecting your neck.

I'm not sure how easy it will be to work with Games Workshop. Also, I really would have preferred the Horus Heresy -- which could have a real endgame. Otherwise, 40k could be a series without a point and could be more nimble in it&#x

First game I've returned. They had classes that were supposed to be shooters, but things would spawn right on top and everything seemed to turn into melee. Honestly, the spawning-on-top seemed like an old school game where you had to

People act like price changes have never happened with car dealers. The Prius for the first several years always had extra tacked on. Then it suddenly cost less as the numbers in production went up. That was with dealers. Luxury cars are

I get where you're coming from, and there is always a certain hackiness to game code it seems. But I've embraced godot for 2D games and it has been wonderful. I get more code reuse out of the node system than I ever got out of cl

I see a good bit of Sinatra out there in the wild for exactly this -- API only services. I even see it in shops that are running Rails everywhere else. It does seem to be much more the exception than the rule. But it may be getting more c

Whoa. Did this exact test in '95. They made a point of this being your memory span, but it's definitely something which can be trained. This is something we would do as part of (professional) language transcription/translat

This. And the mission creep for teachers: more standardized tests every year it seems, hall duty, lunch duty, increased professional training, individualized programs for more and more students (wife had more than 20%), etc... When she wa

Buffet/Munger seems to be the biggest exception to the trend.

I'm just worried they never caught those clowns roaming the forest. Or the satan worshippers from the 80's. They're still out there!! Or maybe they ran into each other and the problem is solved...

I'm completely up front about having a family or my age, because if that's a problem, I'd prefer to know it before starting there. If it is a problem for them, I would probably let them know what they've asked is illega

It makes a difference in someone moving away the second they get trained on some new skill. It makes a difference at some place which might require late hours, weekends, or on call. It also makes a difference for companies that want to abso

My dad phrased it this way, talking about running into this kind of person in the military, "Sometimes you run across an asshole, and there's nothing you can do about it until you or he moves along."

I've seen the same with snack foods. Never saw "unit". A single was an each and it would be said like, "$2 per each" rather than most people would say, "$2 each". I can't remember what the bundle n

Historically, it feels more like a class thing. A proper, civilized person would keep their mouth closed. As for the current mouth vs nose and belly vs chest breathing, it really feels like a fad/cult. There seem to be a constant str

Getting my nose fixed after 25 years made me wish I had it fixed 24.5 years before. There is no question about it for me that it is one of the best things I've ever done. All the sinus and ear infections I got because my nose couldn&

I had the surgery to have my deviated septum fixed and it was a good decision. First, I could breathe through my nose. Another huge benefit, though, was that all those sinus infections that couldn't drain kept turning into ear infecti

The music is beyond frustrating and I can only assume this is deliberate. On my phone, if I search for music that I own and have downloaded, it still returns results from the store/streaming and not the specific song/artist I ask

These lists are like tax evasion charges for drug runners. If they can't get you for any actual crime, they'll tag you for using the wrong words and run you out of the university. If you're in good standing and not disagree

Somewhere in Liverpool scientists are working on a breakthrough that will get us out of this mess.
