Just looked them up and found some on Amazon from $17-40ish depending on brand, length, and probably other factors. I had no idea these were a thing!

They're pretty common. I had a sinus infection earlier this year that wouldn't go away and had to get some antibiotics. I picked up the RX from a local Walmart pharmacy (closer to where I live) and they use the same double-sided c

Thank you for putting this into perspective! It's a shame science journalism has become so sensationalist. To compare: I find it interesting that, according to Britannica, the odds of someone dying in the United States from a lightning

I know of people who still won't go to church because of all of the above and are, for all intents and purposes, still deathly afraid to leave their homes. Regardless of what some might say in argument against your point(s), I absolute

Oh my gosh, I loved that book! The creative depth with the native creatures there and their experiences with humans was captivating.

I did that once thinking an oncoming driver had his brights on. Then he flipped his brights on, and I then realized that his standard lamps were just ridiculously bright...

I think it's some combination of laziness or not knowing how their vehicle works. Some are coming equipped with auto high beams, but I'd wager those don't work on windy roads and therefore don't automatically dim. On the

I think this is probably the case. Humans have a terrible memory for things. As a counterpoint: I was looking at some hair clay of a specific brand I'd been thinking about getting. When I checked my Facebook account, lo and behold, the

That latter part is important. I live out in the country, and I've had more than a couple of encounters with aggressive dogs. Occasionally other wildlife, but as I like to posit: The forest reveals its secrets if you listen closely eno

I now have a vision of this conversation: "How are you today, Mr. 142,620?" "I'm fine, nameless, faceless script-reading CSR rep. How are you?"

Now THAT'S bizarre. Was that because the team was making others look bad by outperforming them via the LOC metric? lol...

We greatly (grossly?) underestimate the power of relying on external help, also. That's why ANY resource you can get a hold of is important. In my dad's case he had many false starts toward quitting. He did, eventually, in 2017 bu

Merry Christmas! This post hits pretty close to home, particularly the bit about how ephemeral life is. My father passed earlier this year after a long battle with COPD (encourage your friends/family to stop smoking if they do!), but b

Absolutely correct on all points, my friend. It's unpleasant to see the eventual culmination of things you knew would eventually come to pass despite pleadings to the contrary. I'm blessed to have been able to help Mum take care o

I'd bet that's a part of it to be sure!

You're in good shape then! By the time my father quit, the most he could do was shuffle about. And you're absolutely right—it's hard to give up. I still remember the conversation he had with his pulmonologist. The doctor aske

This is ultimately what killed my father: 45 years of smoking until one day in 2017 when he quit cold turkey and never picked up another cigarette. By that time the damage had been done. He had severe COPD. He was well passed the point of b

There's a small typo around 1/3rd of the way down: It reads "Alomogordo New Mexico." The city should be rendered "Alamogordo." It's also something of a persistent anachronism that lends itself to the histo

I suspect the OP means, or at least the way I parsed it, is that they'll adjust to the changes to their lighting conditions , not that the light materially affects their physical coloration. i.e. when someone buys them, they'll h

I agree. The fonts don't bother me so much as the ISO layout does, and even that's kind of a "meh" and something I likely wouldn't care about so much as the otherwise clean styling and the fact it's projected t

I think you're right, unfortunately. If it's not lost wholesale (as in my parents' case) it's a war of attrition. They had a number of interesting artifacts (my mother's Australian) and other items that would'v

You can beat yourself up over it, but the reality is that you're right: Some people handle the past differently from others. You did the right thing by attempting to reunite them with their (presumably) priceless property. Most people

Probably not common but definitely non-zero. I'm in roughly the same boat as you (minus the multiple instances). My personal Minecraft server I run on a machine sitting behind me at home for friends uses SRV records. I bump the port nu

If it has a companion app for a phone (which this appears to be), you could easily have the phone do this for you. Not unlike setting up a wifi hotspot. Just have support walk them through a menu on their phone for an "advanced" f

It does, but with generics coming down the pipe, I feel that "any" expresses intent somewhat better in certain circumstances. Or at least it ought to improve readability-at-a-glance. I'd imagine you can continue using interfa

This was my thought as well. Also, generally being likeable makes a positive impact on people. Teams would much rather someone they feel they can work well with than someone who is going to be a total stick in the mud and drag everyone down

Aircraft engineering isn't all software though. There's a significantly non-trivial part that is hardware design (arguably the bulk of it), with incredibly tight tolerances, and often unique alloys. All of which can make or brea
