The trip down 36 can get brutal, but it’s a great bit of land all year round. Especially right up at the north end walking around the dunes. The inner beaches are beautiful and calm for young kids too. It’s a soft warm calm puddle in the su

Yes, sorry, going from memory, and just had that it was another A-something god in mind. You’re right, Ajax, not Atlas.

I used to live near Sandy Hook in NJ. There was a Nike base there, but also several decades of various gun emplacements. They even secretly had nuclear warheads on the Nike Atlas missiles there to take out incoming bombers where the missile

Tonneau is the flat cover for the bed. A cap is the n-shaped cover that encloses it, giving it a roof. Typically matching the cab body work, so overall looks more like an SUV. Eg: http://trinity-motorsports.com/wp-content&#x

Opnsense on a cheap fanless PC. I use a QOTOM box I bought of Alibay, which has a core i3 and 4 ethernet ports, but any mini-PC is good. Doesn't even need to be a mini-pc, but why use full desktop power for something that can be small

I loved Dayton. We finished the first big hangar and my said how cool it was and that we’d seen it and ut was time to go. Then I told her about the other 2 (3?) hangars. We got our 10k steps in before lunch, but it was amazing, and I’d go b

I’d guess here on a boat out at sea, a long way from rescue, you’re more at risk of someone with a cutting tool, explosives, etc breaking in. After all they have days till you can steam to a safe port to break in. They’re armed pirates, the

After a month they wouldn’t know much, so the firm would just let them go. The firm picks the leave duration, not the employee. And after only a month their sign-on would be subject to claw back.

It’s not just the pistachios. They’re the second largest farming company in the US, also growing oranges, pomegranates and other crops. Their water use is across all their businesses.

Not so great with Windows, but shared clipboard means you can use your phone to scan and copy text then instantly paste on MBP or iPad too. Mac can screenshot and extract as well now, depending on your preference.

Moving from the UK to the US I found the loss of the pound coins to be quite annoying. I was used to paper currency and coins both having more significant value. A handful/pocketful of change in the UK, where there are 50p,￡1, and ￡2 i

I really meant the choice to use it here, not the implementation of how it works.

This actually did more to explain the implementation basics that most intros I’ve read. I’m not the parent but I just end up not wanting to have to debug network traffic across two protocols where I don’t know how to deterministically work

Although known for his children’s books, his writing for adults is hilarious. The children’s books have a dark edge to them, but the adult writing is fully suffused with it. They definitely adult, very dark, and let his twisted humor run ri

My assumption here is they exploited a race condition between order cancellation and spend, as well as the lack of transparency on spend items. As in, Uber has to provide some allowance for the Uber Eats courier to spend while the cancellat

I find the comments odd that Apple could do X. They made $30B in profit last quarter. $166B in the last 4. That level of profit, coupled with their existing manufacturing and software capabilities means they can do basically anything. What
