I wish I could get my management and team to even adopt so much as a weekly retrospective like this. I've been clamoring for it, begging for it, showing how a lack of a methodology to GSD is having a real impact. Hasn't come cl

In the absence of codified policies, rules or regulations, I'm hesitant to associate "the [mere] ease" of hiring a woman over a man with de facto `affirmative action'. Though I (think) I understand your point.

Yeah that's why I say I think it's just a misunderstood thing coming from that tract; meaning over time casual associations of certain food groups now considered "staples" of soul food became less and less understood and

That's the best knock against it you can come up with? I'll take that over "Love the app yet? Good because we're killing it" when owned by Google....

Probably not so much with things like chicken legs and wings per se , but 'soul food' (or at least certain offerings) have their roots going back to sharecropping and late slavery (probably even throughout the entirety of the Ame

To localize this behavior to the US as an example, Verizon wireless is known to block SIP traffic coming and going out of port 5060; it's entirely possible the Saudis are engaging this very similarly and have effectively blocked traffi
