I had to look it up... Himalayan salt is a Cambrian era deposit. 20 years seems a little short.

I didn't realize the P/E was so low. Sounds like a bargain. Edit: They're paying a modest dividend as well. AAPL is becoming more of a mature stock, but that's not a bad thing.

Same here. I'd have friends in the investment industry ask me about some new IPO or another. "I can't tell you what these guys do." Still, they'd pour money into them. Even worse was pouring money into things like N

Actually, I have been hearing more and more about athletes who train in ketosis. It would be especially attractive to an ultramarathon athlete to be able to burn fat for fuel. (This relates more to a high-fat diet than a high-protein diet y

I had one customer on DO DNS and it was a "good enough" solution. Unfortunately, this came right in the middle of a marketing push for last-minute registrations. An annoyance, but not a major financial impact. (Maybe it will give

I'm trying to frame this as less of a problem and more of an opportunity . Sadly, pornbnb.com is already registered. :(

Pages used to be my word processor of choice. I have since subscribed to Office 365. My understanding is that the desktop version of Pages was brought in line with the iOS version. Simple things like paragraph styles were taken out.

In Toronto, it would be soldiers from the war of 1812 who were often buried where they fell. http://citiesintime.ca/toronto/story/surf-reveals/

I could see this has it's applications, but as a hobbyist I'd want to be able to unsolder or resolder if I'd made a bad connection.

I thought that they used a bitterant in the plastic. I guess I thought wrong.

I've used both shrink tubing and Sugru on iPhone cables. On the MacBook charger, just Sugru. Both will fail eventually. I find that typical shrink wrap is too stiff and creates stress riser. After a couple of years, my cables are more

Those of us who can work remotely are incredibly lucky. I spent last winter motorcycling and working in Mexico. The photo of the Macbook by the ocean brought back memories. I had a nice little house on the beach for $500/mo. Unfortunat

Wordpress seems to be well behind in good dev practices. I do know Drupal adds the settings.php to the default .gitignore. It would take a bit more than simple ignorance to add setting to the repo.

My brief experience while on vacation in 2010 is that Internet access is far too expensive for an individual. I suspect there's little or no censorship. Cuba has no money for such luxuries. With a busy tourist industry it would be diff

Cuba's isolation is only from the United States. The rest of the world comes and goes as they please. It's a favourite tourist destination of many Canadians and Europeans. I've seen Chinese construction and petroleum interest

I notice use of the phrase since I'm aware of the origins and the the fact that oppression under Mao has affected people close to me. I don't take offence, but may suffer injuries related to involuntary eye rolling. It's an o

At this point, I just assume that "X considered harmful" contains an element of satire. That's not always the case, but I have no problem saying "Satirical 'Considered Harmful' Articles Considered Not Harmful&q

I'm not intimately familiar with the California climate, but this project in India dealt with infrequent rainfall and capturing runoff: http://www.permaculturereflections.com/2009/07/india-talupul...

I was in a very similar situation with a full-time permanent government job. They were restructuring the organization and had an offer to leave with a nice severance package. I left and have been some form of self-employed ever since. I had

Also, you don't have to deal with a disruptive timezone difference. Same story in Mexico, where I spent the winter and did a little remote work.

If you took only 10% of the budget and put it toward treatment and harm reduction, I believe that the problems associated with abuse would plummet. Portugal saw something like 50% decline when they decriminalized.

I would see Lynda as being more valuable for specific software packages like Adobe Illustrator. Videos teaching programming don't really fit my learning model. I really need to build and tweak to learn. A walkthrough like on video seem

Stevia was not included, so for now I'll assume it is safe. It does have some positive effects such as increasing insulin sensitivity. I only had diet soft drinks very occasionally, but I think I'll eliminate entirely and stick to

My experience running my own small consulting company was actually positive. In the late 90's I thought I was a loser since nobody was handing me seven-figure cheques. In hindsite, the stuff I worked on was solid and maybe better than
