I suspect you have hit it on the head. Perhaps my shock at the 3 hour drop window is because I have 20+ years of email experience (including bang addressed uucp mail) and the prior norm was an undeliverable but will retry until XXX message,

I have to disagree here. The standard in the past has been "we tried to deliver the message but were unable, we will continue trying until XXX" where XXX was measured in a few days. Getting the above message is sufficient to allow

Thanks for the insight, but this is the first time a situation like this has happened, the server has been operational since 2014. It is a private, low volume e-mail server as well, not something with external public users. The reason for

While I would prefer standard time year round, I have no problem with the twice annual switch. It is one timezone and not a big deal; it isn't even close to doing the same for say a business trip/vacation given the long duration

Yes, for you though tried to make it a bit more general. It is all about learning edge control - how much pressure to apply and when. Beginners tend to put too much pressure on the edge and worse, lean back when they are scared. They also

OMG no. Please - every beginner out there - learn to fall properly before putting on a board. If you are going for instruction, they should be teaching you this as well and if they do not, pipe up and ask. DO NOT put your arms out to break

Even worse than the flocks (gaggles?) of skiers who stop for a chat in the middle of a run are those who repeatedly stop wherever they feel like on the moguls, often after just a few turns. Put a few groups like that on a mogul run and it

Squallywood the one time I was there seemed to either be completely boring or completely gnarly, not much in between. Much preferred Alpine Meadows. And Homewood has some stupendous views and would be beginner friendly.

Furthering this - before heading up to any slope as a beginner you should be tracking the conditions for at least the week prior. Has it snowed? Has it rained? Did it rain and then go down to -15F? Knowing that they got 2" the day bef

A good helmet should prevent or at least mitigate any concussion from a beginner type of fall. Do you ride a bike? I would worry much more about clocking my head on a curb even with a helment.

Always wear a helmet! Even if you are in very deep powder there can be unexpected obstacles if you do take a tumble (rocks, etc). People who do not do winter sports have this misguided thought that snow is not hard. Any base layer of sno

Hard booters are a rare breed for sure, see them every now and then. I ride a pretty narrow board but with softboots. Serious carving boards meant for plates and hardboots are generally very stiff, not the best thing to start learning sno

Why not just email the publisher or editor of the book? Certainly for any typos they would not bother the author.

Ignoring plagiarism to me is like ignoring broken windows and other minor crimes. At first it may sound practical but the end result is not good.

Still have my dad's "Programming Univac Systems Instruction Manual 1" from 1953 when he started working for Sperry Rand. 1950s-1960s must have been a phenomenal time to work in the nascent computing industry.

I date myself but I actually used the Arena browser way back when before moving on to Netscrape. It was kinda cool the paper look though so many things were novel in the early 90s internet.

If it takes you 30 seconds to calculate the tip that $1 is at a $120/hour rate. Most people don't take home that amount ($250k/year). Would hope most people could do the math in under 15 seconds as well, doubling that rate.

The major issue is that VA, for whatever reason, does not have plows and trucks to put them on (unlike say NYC that puts them on the garbage trucks when needed) - at least in numbers necessary to keep the highway relatively passable in the

there's been a bit of back and forth in tech lately and there are some signs it is nearing or passing a peak valuation. Get the money while you can and don't look back. Reddit's getting old too
