I think he's saying leaving the pump after getting your gas. That's very common in my area. You pump your gas, go into the shop to get something and you leave your car at the pump. Nobody leaves their car while pumping. It's

I was a maintainer of a FAQ that was posted to news.answers, which in turn was mirrored at Walnut Creek. They would send maintainers free CDs of the archive periodically. Good times.

He specifically says: "During my time at WGU, I focused on a single course at a time and made sure to complete it before starting a new one."

My company doesn't have separate sick days, but you are given 5 days (40 hours) of "personal days" that are independent of your PTO. This seems like a decent compromise in the sense that I can use them as PTO without doing th

Delta has had it for years though, way before the Max issue came up. When you book a flight it's right there and tells you what model you're getting, which is needed since you can select seats ahead of time. Admittedly, there are

> const MAX_POINTS: u32 = 100_000; // wtf is this ugly numeric shit Java has had this since Java7 and Go has had it since at least 1.13, so I'm not sure why he hasn't seen it based on his other experiences.

Donkey Kong was just a quarter when it came out. I distinctly remember playing it at roller rinks and arcades and as a poor teenager I wouldn't have been playing it if it was more than that. The first "big" game that was more

Yeah, and I generally agree with what you were saying. And I totally agree with some like 24 sigh I think that generally US seasons are too long. However, I only realized that after watching a bunch of foreign (mostly UK) shows on Netflix

Designated Survior ran on ABC for 2 seasons, Netflix made one more, so really ABC cancelled it and Netflix brought it back. This is similar to what they are doing with Lucifer right now. Shooter was a USA Network series, not Netflix.

They are in places like Las Vegas where they have multiple "permanent" (as in years long runs) shows. They also have traveling shows that will stay for a few days in a city and generally have their own tents and such that they set

Historically there was Can-Am[0]: "As long as the car had two seats, bodywork enclosing the wheels, and met basic safety standards, it was allowed." As others have mentioned, F1 is probably the closest today. [0] https:/&#x2

Costa Rica is not a "cheap" country by any means. Even in a "soda", which is about as cheap as you can get, a meal will be on the order of $7 per person. What the OP is probably saying is that he tried to pay with a $20

I agree. I'm never said that if enough people don't like it that it shouldn't be changed. I was talking "now". If what somebody is doing "now" is legal, then right "now" there isn't anything

It grinds my gears a bit when others think there's always something to do about it. Yes, I could get upset, but at the same time, if they aren't doing anything illegal, then there literally isn't anything you can do about it.

If you are in the street, then yes, that is considered "public" and there's really not much I can do about it. I have zero expectation of privacy if you take pictures of the front of my house from a public area. If my WiFi si

Yes they do. I vacation in Costa Rica a few times a year (my parents have a house there so we stay at the same place) and there was a cat that wandered the area. She was an outdoor cat, but liked easy to obtain people food and/or cat f

Virtually every McDonald's around me (Minneapolis area) has double drive through lanes. I've been to a number in the area that has people outside taking orders (during the summer at least) during lunch.

They've wanted to concentrate on street circuits in cities. Traditional series (F1, IndyCar, etc.) generally have troubles getting permission to run city street circuits (and yes, I know they exist for both of those, just saying the pe

The commute isn't too bad especially since I only do it twice a week (and technically wouldn't need to at all). Since I'm not customer facing or anything I have shifted my hours to be from 6AM-3PM so I miss all the morning tr

Fair enough about "can be". It takes me seconds to find a parking spot. The parking lot is large and right there, I could park in the farthest away spot and be inside in less than a minute. I live in a detached single family home

I see this argument and I just don't get it. My local grocery store is less than a mile away on city streets. There is no way an ebike is faster, more comfortable or healthier (since it's an ebike I'm not pedaling, or not muc

For outside temperatures it's close enough though. As an American who travels to Central America quite a bit being about to do: (C*2) + 30 to get F is close enough.
