Flight codes are meant to signify the particular starting point, stops, and destinations that will be made along the way. You can change the aircraft and the flight code stays the same. Many flight codes happen on a regular schedule, like

Traffic isn’t the only problem. Housecats are also prey animals if you live anywhere near where foxes, coyotes, large birds of prey, etc… are around. As it so happens, a lot of places in this country, even in many cities, may be near green

In my experience, it depends on the cat(s). Many cats prefer stability, so the same food all the time is what they would prefer. But some cats seem to prefer variety. I don’t know if this comes from us trying out various different things

Oh, cats definitely know you can open the door for them. When I feed our four cats, one of them (Inky) usually joins me in the cat bathroom to provide supervision services. Of course, this process must be done behind closed doors, otherwi

Looks like the last time the code itself was touched was about seven months ago. And there are no open issues. I did spot the following in the README.md file: ``` An optional MD5 checksum can be calculated as well for the transferred file

This is one of the few things I actually liked about the way Amazon did meetings. The standard was to distribute the document first, or in the event that couldn’t be done, to provide a link to the document at the very beginning of the meet

That’s funny, because I didn’t even notice it. In my own writing, I usually try to be very consistent, unless I am intentionally trying to make a joke or keep things light. And in those cases, I am very deliberate in my use of mixing the st

Amazon is very much a camera-on kind of company. What I noticed is that everyone turns on their camera, then most people stare dead-eyed at the camera, not doing anything useful, but also making sure they don’t move or let their eyes drift

Don’t forget those fuckheads at ERCOT. How many deaths are they responsible for?

Market manipulation is how these people get elected. How else are they supposed to stay in power?

My wife has a negotiation technique that has worked well for her: “I’m a lawyer. I have a pre-approved loan. Give me your best and final offer.” And that worked! We were in and done in less than five minutes. Sadly, not everyone can use

The alternative may well be that the meetup in question simply ceases to exist. Which is better? No meetup at all, or a meetup with sponsors?
74.
by bradknowles 2y ago
The other solution is to get sponsors. In return for paying $50 a month (or whatever), they get to put a representative in front of a group of people for five minutes to pitch heir products. Or maybe they pay for the food at a place where

Poor parts of every county or city are going to have more similarities to other poor parts of every other city or county than compared to the rich areas that may be nearby. That is one aspect of the multi-dimensional fractal nature of cultu

I lived there. I traveled all over that area. The Northern Virginia counties are much closer to the culture in DC than the culture in Baltimore.

by bradknowles 2y ago
Culture is fractal, and happens on many different levels. And there are many types of stratifications of culture. And those stratifications can happen in multiple dimensions at the same time. But culture can also refer to a larger conglom

Distance is irrelevant. I lived there. The cultures of DC and Baltimore are fundamentally different. Related, yes. But not the same.

There are plenty of remote telescope services you can make use of. The one at http://telescope.live/ is probably one of the best known in the astrophotography communities I am a member of, but there are many others.

The astrophotography communities I am a member of tend to use the Bortle scale map at https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/ This one is more mobile-friendly, IMO.

You can’t just look at distance and judge. I knew guys who lived north of Baltimore but commuted every day to the Pentagon. That doesn’t make Baltimore and DC two parts of the same city. Just like there are people who commute from New Yor

They expanded the CSA to include Baltimore so as to reduce the average salary rate, and thus they didn’t have to pay for COLA wage increases. From late 1989 to mid 1998, I lived in various parts of Northern Virginia and the Capitol region o

I think if they had a better web page interface, then a lot more people would be able to make use of the site. And I think that would probably also serve the professional astronomers or astronomical researchers better.

by bradknowles 2y ago
I saw no numbers on any of the icons when I visited in my web browser. It looks like they have a deficient web page design that doesn’t work well on mobile. Thus leading to a much more confusing interface.

I don’t see evidence of 100s of PB of data here. I do see multiple green stars, which I know is extremely rare in the real world. That’s just not a common color spectrum for stars. And using a viewpoint of a large sphere from the outside

I would never do this with a public AI system. If it’s running entirely on my own resources, that might be an interesting question to ask.

It’s a shame that all of the information that Apple obtains through the legal discovery process on this lawsuit can’t be publicly shared with the world.
