Thanks, it is progressing as expected. The only shitting on that was done involved providing repeated examples of attempts to get clarity or schedule meetings that were repeatedly ignored or cancelled at the last minute (which the superviso

As a roccbox owner and someone who has made pizza from my earliest memories, I would say there are some tasty frozen pizzas. Totinos comes to mind, it is nothing like a neapolitan or even dominos pizza, but the way it cooks up turns it into

I dislike starbucks but tried it there anyways. Actually really nice as a foam on top of a nitro cold brew. Won't be getting it again but I'd say it is worth having one time.

My father in law just switched to the triple 7 after a few decades on the MD-11 out of Anchorage. He loved the plane but even with the top spot on seniority the routes kept getting reduced making the 777 more desirable. He often commented t

Can you provide examples of the behavior? Not names or anything but the severity of the harassment. There are times when people feel something is sexual harassment but it actually doesn't qualify unfortunately. In any case you should n

I unfortunately can't get over the HDR haloing. Isn't there a less obvious way to handle this by now?

A lot but not all. I live in the north sf bay (born and raised) and am an engineer for a municipality that has seen a big influx in the past 10-years of wealthy bay area/socal types. I (and basically all of my co-workers who mostly gre

I agree. I got fairly close to finishing but was disillusioned by a few teachers and students who clearly weren't there for the right reason. I had a graduate professor that specifically forbid us to work in groups on problem sets. Whe

This is making me wonder if Kim Jong Il has been executing officials and family so rapidly not because they were for peace, but rather because they were pushing a hard line agenda and he is the one who wanted to make peace with the south. I

Reconstructing an existing road is even worse. Want to repair a failing street? OK, but only if you make every aspect of the supporting infrastructure ADA compliant with the most current laws. We are legislating ourselves out of modern infr

This article is really a stretch to say Japanese wine is using big data. These environmental sensors have been available for a very long time and are no where near the cutting edge of precision winegrowing. Things like hue measurements and

Can't tell if the camera has poor contrast resolution or if it was indeed that dark. With the dynamic range available on digital sensors, it seems to me that even without some form of FLIR it still should be more possiblle to capture t

This is exactly what I was thinking about when I saw a reference to someone in a bitcoin post this morning repeating the ecocide myth. Didn't have the desire to hunt down an article on it, but this is a good one!

Definitely stay far away from wine if you care about your wallet. With what you have said about teas it would only be a matter of finding the correct wine (I think people call it their Eureka wine?) and you would be hooked in a far more exp

This has to be the case. As a civil engineer married to a winemaker, we even find it tough to afford housing in the North Bay. Many of the contractors we see in town are from mendocino, lake county, or further. Very few apart from the owner

This is a joke correct? There is a lot of analysis done here when the relevant answer is they are numbered counting down the number of miles remaining going south towards it's termination in Los Angeles.
