My second computer was from Gateway 2000, this was before the whole retail store experiment, back when they had the awesome ads in Computer Shopper and the other mags (PC Magazine, etc). I think this was really their heyday. Awesome systems

> I will fight back on anyone claiming GMO's are bad when the science is clear that they are not. Well, don't overcorrect. Being a GMO does not make an O inherently bad, but that doesn't mean all GMOs are inherently good.

Like what? I use scrivener because it’s been helpful for organizing research and doing outlines. It’s a beast of a program though - much to learn - so made an effort to find something better/easier. OneNote/EverNote didn’t cut it,

I don’t know about stark naked - in the northern climes where the fairer complexioned folk roam(ed), furs and wool were a matter of survival. Anyway, UV sucks, nobody is hurt by minimizing it and supplementing via diet. Hell, in the north t

It’s pretty easy to pick back up and get in the swing of things - and very fun too. Lambda expressions and async programming might take the most study and practice to really feel comfortable using. Blazor server side is a new but very acces

I read it similarly - as the present article for this post says, these were carved of “living rock”, which I take to mean that rock/dirt was removed from around the megalithic sculptures. In this context, the refill was when these holl

Isn’t this a bit of a false dichotomy though - solving a (potential) world food shortage or not; being more efficient than industrial farming or not; feeding one’s self/family completely via gardening or not gardening at all? It seems

The immune system is not understood well at all, but western medicine does have quantifiable success in treatment of lupus. In the 40’s or 50’s, scientists/clinicians tracked a cohort of representative lupus patients and within two yea
