No, but you're already the second person to ask this, meaning I now have to see this place. I'm not American, but I was meaning to visit Altoona, PA as, according to one person living there, it was "the most average town in U

It becomes important the moment your particular bug is on one hand typical, but has a non-typical reason. In such cases you'll get nonsense which you need to ignore. Again - they're very useful, as they give great answers based on

Angular has been my main framework for the past 9 years, so I guess I can shed some light on this: AngularJS came before React and being a Google product, gained enough inertia in large organizations that given the choice, the decision make
