Nope! I thought about it, but I just started the first bit and kept going. If I had gotten stuck I would definitely have jumped to AI, but I didn't so here we are.

One I can't put in print: Rick's rant about how he described Mr. Needful's microscope and its effect. The wordplay is <chef's kiss> but unfortunately it's unrepeatable.

My general method for things like this is to: 1. Get a .dot file of the database. Many tools will export this. 2. Open the .dot in a tool I built for the purpose. 3. Select the tables I'm interested in, and export a subset of the .dot

Generally you get insurance but it's way less than in the U.S. As an example, when we were in Portugal 8 years ago we needed to get my wife's prescriptions refilled and the person we were staying with said to go to the ER. We conf

My wife and I are not-so-many years from retirement. Ten years ago, we were already planning to retire someplace with more reasonable healthcare. We were already confident in that decision, but the current situation has made it absolute, an

On MacOS Safari (for me at least) the date button on the previous games shows for a split second and then disappears, making them unplayable. :-/ Seems to be tied to the videos playing — when they start, the button disappears. I’m seei

Thanks! I immediately thought of the TC video when I saw the title, and wondered if there was a point to the article beyond the video.

I think it does change the situation when you're potentially dealing with lateral movement. In 1/6th of a g it takes less lateral velocity to topple over.

At any location on the moon that has a clear view of the Earth, you'll have access to >= half the GPS satellites -- so 15-16+. On Earth that number is as low as 4. The logic would be different (having to pick the farthest apart to g

1. I can't speak to that, no analysis here and the time frame (the low carb thing was back around 2008) is too long for meaningful comparison. 2. Maybe? For normal things, not really, but when I try to row for an hour I feel it. I defi

It was a made-up name for the example, since a. I don't remember the exact year; and b. I'm not sure it was San Jose -- it was some city in the bay area, but maybe not San Jose. Chuck Reed was mayor from 2007 to 2015, and I don&#x

Who knows? I harbored a 10% skepticism that Quora astroturfed the question. That was just the first example like that I found, in the early days questions like that were common. That should have either removed my skepticism or driven it to

I'll never forget when I read the question, "Who is the mayor of San Jose?" on Quora, and the answer was "Joe Bloe is the mayor of San Jose. Source: I'm Joe Bloe, mayor of San Jose." Reading that defined Quora
