I wish we had this law in Washington State. Most beaches here are privately owned and many of the few public beaches here are laughably tiny - 150' to 200' wide with threatening signs on either end.

I'm having good luck with caffeine + l-theanine + l-tyrosine. I occasionally use nicergoline which I really like, however if I use it too many days and then skip, I get a headache - much like caffeine withdrawal. At night I sometimes u

Trouble is, food that comes from far away tends to be the type that has been bred to look good and last a long time before spoiling but actually tastes like food shaped nothing.

This is why strawberries taste like fibrous nothing but look really great. Same for cherries. In fact, most fruits don't taste very good anymore. I recently found bought a bunch of 'Heirloom' oranges which actually tasted

Aluminum is normally bound up tightly with other elements and not part of the biosphere until we began to mine and develop products from it that introduced it there.

As if a person who is non-existing because sperm and ova didn't hook up is somehow suffering because of it? He seems to be suggesting that all possible people must exist. Every sperm is sacred? Good grief.

For those struggling with caffeine addiction and poor sleep I strongly recommend rutaecarpine. Take one a few hours before bedtime and it deactivates the caffeine so you can sleep.

Not trying to cast any shade on plumbers. Full respect to them, getting under the house, into the crawlspaces with the random wharf rats and other surprises. And they make more than I do, which is already a lot by my standards. Having gon

As long as my work doesn't involve coding. Caffeine makes doing tedious things for long periods of time much more engaging.

I take regular breaks from caffeine and my quality of life goes way up, but my quality of work goes way down. :) Wish I could live without the stuff

Have to agree with this assessment, just recently tried both of those services in the hunt for a plumber. Everyone I called from HomeAdvisor didn't return my calls or else called to tell me they weren't actually plumbers. Angie&#

Agreed, when's the last time you saw a debugger for a stored procedure? There aren't any. If you want to debug such a thing, you've got to write a bunch of print statements like it was 1982

I've seen unbelievable messes developed as sprawling stored procedures. And, no unit tests, since no one ever wants to test database logic, they just assume it's gold.

I've had good luck with plants.usda.gov identifying plants by geographical location. Just use the advanced search, choose the location you found the plant, e.g. state:county, and as much information as you can deduce, flower color, gr

People who like this sort of thing, like things that are needlessly hard. Like climbing up a mountain by crawling backwards feet first. Sure it took a lot more sweat to get there, and maybe you are personally proud of conquering the large

At the time Google started promoting Android OS, Google was well known to use primarily Python internally. So I was very shocked and discouraged by their choice of Java. I assume it was to reach the widest developer audience at the time.

Thanks for noticing! :) I will tidy it up and put it out there soon. I'll let you know after I've done that. :)

Amen! I find Android programming excessively verbose and convoluted. I thought Google was supposed to be staffed by geniuses. The whole thing feels designed by a committee - like something Microsoft would put out. Why didn't they use
