Some forums actually work a lot better WITH embedded images. To pick just one example[1]: a lawn forum where people will try to ask a question, or share an experience, and go back and forth trying to describe the details. A photo cuts that

This looks really cool. It's like a javascript version of Quartz Composer. This kind of interface has been in my mind for quite some time, there's some really cool things that can be build and visualized in it.

That reminds me of the "mountain top removal" going on in the Appalachians. Bring up google maps for West Virginia, zoom out so that the entire state is visible in the browser window, and you can see all the scars. https:/&#

The article is about Perl6, not Perl5. The history may be old but the language is a complete rewrite from scratch.

There's a very strong health consideration that you're overlooking. You don't want random pollutants to be a part of your food intake, and roaches are not picky at all so they are guaranteed to be feeding on (and contain) var

If you take a fresh orange, squeeze it and drink/eat ALL of the result, then that's fairly healthy. You're balancing out the fructose with lots of fiber which are supposed to help slow the absorption of that sugar. Also by co

Many ads have in tiny print "for illustration purposes only, do not attempt", ie. when showcasing some fantasy use-case of the product. That copy should really be "for deception purposes only".

Crabgrass also gets tall (it grows faster than my bermudagrass) and will die back at the first frost. In comparison, Zoysia and Bermuda will go dormant but maintain a ground cover to prevent erosion.

In climates that get rain every day, it doesn't take a lot to have a suitable pool of standing water for mosquitoes. A dead leaf curled up that holds 1 mL of water (and shaded by the taller vegetation) is sufficient as a breeding groun

You can do that today with IP addresses. v6 ones are plentiful. But I don't know how SSL would work without the domain part. EDIT: Cloudflare pulls it off here so it's certainly possible. https://1.1.1.1

The fun part is that you can flip that pattern around, at least for car buying. Whenever it's time for me to buy a car, I first decide exactly the model I want, then research all the sellers. I call them all at once and tell them I&#x2

This sounds like something straight out of the TV show The Office. Goes to show that reality is often more extreme than fiction.

I have no knowledge of the situation but couldn't the 2 be related? As in more (green) trees pulling more water out of the ground? Then again I would imagine the water pulled out comes back rather fast in the form of a tropical storm.

This is probably accurate given how our society really is structured. But following your thresholds: - 61% of incomes are below lower middle - 26% of incomes are lower middle (median being $61,822) - 10% of incomes are middle - 3% (nearly)

Yes, you need to put in some thought but it's possible, even for a large organization. Here at Cisco it's about half/half and it lets us dogfood our own collab tools (Webex Teams, telepresence gear, etc).

I would like to see more research in this area. It seems that the main school of thought is to focus removing as much bacteria from the mouth as possible, but I'm interested in the possibility of outcompeting the undesireable bacteria
