I hate the discriminator system, one of the main reasons I pay for Nitro is so i can set it to 0001. I'd rather be "TheRealChomp" or "ChompChomp" or something, versus having to give out my name and number. We have a

I presume you're talking about Nitro. That's not a permanent custom discriminator. As soon as you stop paying for Nitro, it randomizes again.

> The name of the class you’ll store the data into is singular (User). You therefore have a mismatch, and in ORMs (e.g., Rails) they often automatically pluralize, with the predictable result of seeing tables with names like addresss. La

We plant only Texas native plants in our garden. Bee balm, honeysuckle, Texas lantana, beautyberry, and turk’s cap to name a few. We get so many bumblebees and other pollinators in the late months of spring. Also (imo) looks way nicer than

Ehhh not quite. Google has some technology in JPEG-XL, but theirs isn’t the only in the project, there’s other code too, plus the JPEG group’s development, and it’s an ISO standard. WebP is just flat out a Google thing, no standards body ot

No. The objection to linking to sites with JS is that they contain nonfree JS blobs that spy on you, run unknown obfuscated code, and are not open to modification, because they’re almost always obfuscated.

Depends on your definition of "process", but parboiled rice can use the same arsenic contaminated groundwater and can raise the arsenic content depending on the process used, whereas mechanical hulling reduces it.

If people wanted unique project names, they wouldn’t choose dictionary nouns/verbs. By your rules, gluonhq shoulda chose a different name because The Real Gluon is an OpenWRT project. Come on, just let people name stuff.
