I know someone who spent ~ a year in rural Kyrgyzstan, and found the food to be very meat-based, with little variety. Maybe different in the cities, since they enjoyed the trips to Bishkek, and possibly Tashkent, somewhat more.

Are you saying that the result of millions of years of evolution is more impressive than decades of medical research?

Wow, you can do this? At the risk of further complicating my arr stack, which I barely had the wherewithal to get running in the first place, how does that work?

Yea, but that's what they call it. No editorializing on my part.

Spitfires were British planes, so not part of the American lend lease program. Maybe if they were build with American loans, though?

I use Feeder, but still end up doom scrolling reddit way too to often. Discovery is the hard part for me, and I don't spend much time trying to find good content. For me, this is the "personal responsibility" side of the co

I can't find it so it's probably just a myth, but I recall hearing about "free beer with purchase of food" at bars during prohibition. However, I think it was more than just the sale that was prohibited.

Man, I spent a lot of time looking for something like this when i bought my NAS and got annoyed with all the power bricks. Guitar players use them[0] to power their several guitar pedals, but the polarity, voltage and plug form factors are

One thing I remember from his book is that the 747 was initially of secondary importance within Boeing, behind the SST. This wasn't Boeing's flagship, so to speak, until SST was canceled.

I've never been able to access my old LastPass vault to delete its contents since its first breach when I switched to bitwarden. I recall contacting them to make sure my data was erased, but I never got a good confirmation of that.

I'm thinking that the effort required to make that one sale in a thousand is not worth it. The 999 others didn't complain about that.

>Make sure that dealers know why you changed your mind. "Some nerd couldn't use their nerd phone." What incentive does a dealer have to know or care about this?

When should it be reported, then?

Yes, which you have to do repeatedly after every software update when they change your settings.

Yeah, and he is such an intellectual child, that he can very easily be manipulated by those minions. They let him think he's the brains of the operation, and they get their policies enacted.

I don't think it's allegiance so much as the metaphorical opposite of a fig leaf. He allows and provides cover fire for the worst intentions of his deputized minions.

I have to look this up each time I am reminded of it, to make sure it's not some absurd urban legend.

After my first visit to Switzerland, I knew I needed one of those clocks for my home. Unfortunately the ones available are cheap (though expensive) and don't have the second hand dwell at the top of each minute.

Why isn't there a simple solution in the software world that's functionally equivalent to flashing your ID at the liquor store? They get the verification they need with no permanent record of your PII . This can't be that

I don't mind the old walls in my house with their lumps and bumps, but I do mind the half assed drywall job I hired out with poorly sanded joints, oversized electrical cutouts and other flaws.

No, I'm just being glib in expressing the frustration that it seems impossible to hold them to the same rules as brick and mortar stores.

I had a similar memory of hearing this scheme in the context of a Latin American country. Industries were nationalized, and foreign corporate owners were compensated based on the tax assessed value of their businesses.

When I learned, we were told to keep that dust on the drawing the whole time rather than just the end. We always had a small dusting brush nearby to sweep it off as it got dirty.

This takes me back, as well as some of the replies to your post. I still have most of my drafting tools from high school, including eraser shields, etc. one thing I didn't see you mention, and would help with dingy vellum, is a pouch

>(from the size of a grapefruit to the size of a lime) Whoa. Its hard to imagine you could have enough conventional explosives to compress a dense metal by ~10x (?). You'd need some serious containment to direct that energy inward

This is an interesting way of putting it, but matches my thoughts. I think most such organizations (political parties, religions, businesses, large organizations of many types) consist of true believers at the bottom of the pyramid, and mo
