   Perhaps controversial, but I rather just have ads. Not that I do not think this is a preferable model, but rather, donates cost real money and ads cost nothing except time. While time is finite and valuable, if I am already on YouTube, then

   > This is one of the things that kills me. Even in broadcasting TV, you get typical :15, :30, :60 ads with the occasional :45 or longer :90. You are absolutely on to something. I think the seemingly random length of ads makes them feel

   Some carnivorous plants do eat mammals. Though not primarily, some pitcher plant species have been known to eat mice, for example.

   I have met the man that was allegedly in charge of a lot of the operational management or something of the like for those trains at one time! He has a fully operational train track with various functioning trains in his front yard. He has q

   Fellow native Tennessean here, as well. Words cannot describe the love and admiration myself and the vast majority of Tennesseans have for Dolly Parton. She is the closest thing to a living Saint that many of us will ever witness.

   I made similar comments on this site alluding to how when I went into this field, I thought I was going to be working with passionate people that truly cared about the craft. I was met with the rude reality that none of my coworkers care ab

   I was going to post something similar until I saw your comment. I completely agree. It's difficult to motivate oneself when one knows the work they are doing is actually not worth doing.

   Reminds me of the quote: "The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves." ~ A

    I think you somewhat touched upon what I believe is the root of the problem: > highly incentivized to get high grades, not necessarily to learn the material Based on my own experiences and observations, I think grading is a far larger is

    I have always been extremely sensitive to sounds. I can't even vacuum without ear plugs. While annoying, I feel like it has always been a blessing in disguise because I still have great hearing and no issues with tinnitus. People used

    I am in complete agreement with you, and I wish the environmental aspect would be considered more. However, based on what I understand of the human race, I think nothing will be done to prevent the issue. I guess the closest thing I can thi

    In my city, there is a relatively large, man-made lake not too terribly far from the downtown area. Apparently, there are still buildings, cars, etc. at the bottom of the lake. Instead of clearing out the area, the city just decided to floo

    Considering Swift was primarily written in C++, perhaps Swift was always destined to follow the same path?

    Thank you for sharing that link. I figured only the deaths of people relevant to topics discussed on this forum, but I suppose it is extended to any death of great importance.

    I wonder if other languages receive greater benefits from phonics than English? English is wild language with plenty examples of phonetic rules being broken. Take a simple word like 'rough'. Learning the phonetics doesn't hel

    I never was a fan of compound bows. I remember when I was participating in archery as a hobby. The instructor told us that in competition archery, if one uses a recurve bow, then winners are determined by who hits the bullseye (or closest)

    I second this. I shelled out the money for a custom fitted guard too. Mine was a bit over $400 after insurance. However, I strongly believe nothing over the counter comes close to it. At least, nothing I tried. I honestly feel like not only

    I appreciate the suggestion. Not sure I am a fan of this implementation though. It looks near identical to the HTMX JS API that is already backed into HTMX. Most of the annoyances I dealt with were around conditional logic based on validati

    by hirvi74 1y ago

    Yeah, the JS could technically be shorter, but your example is functional enough to get the point across. Going with your example, how would you do proper validation with HTMX? For example, the input element's value cannot be null or e

    I do not know about this. As in, I do not doubt that necessity of daydreaming, and I do not doubt something is being lost. However, I think daydreaming can also be dangerous in of itself. There is even a term for it called, "maladaptiv

    To be fair, an arrow released from a bow with a draw weight of over 150 pounds could easily launch an arrow that could pass through multiple people at close range -- depending on how light their armor was. I've seen bows with a third o
