   If you read the article you will see that they aren't sure if there were people going from Polynesia to South America, or from South America to Polynesia. Or it could have been both ways.

   It looks like they aren't sure which direction the travel might have gone: "Our earliest estimated date of contact isad 1150 for Fatu Hiva, South Marquesas. This is close to the date estimated by radiocarbon dating for settlement

   Oh, I already “know” all of these things (I’ve been doing web development since the mid 90s). But it seems like as soon as I start to get a decent grasp on a technology, a new version comes along, or it is replaced by something new, or my b

   My problem is that I’m expected to learn so many things that I never have time to become an expert in any of them. Html, css, sass, JS, Vue, Vue router, vuex, react, other react libraries, lodash, jest, webpack, Python, node.js, Java, sql,

   I don't think that is true. In my state the governor shut things down quickly and completely and we haven't started opening back up yet. The result is very very very few cases of Covid-19.

   My company uses both. Slack is used for intra-department communication, Teams is used for inter-department communication.

   Early in our marriage my wife said that we shouldn’t exchange gifts. I thought she was crazy and would changer her mind, but over the past 25 years neither of us has ever purchased a gift for the other. It has actually turned out great. Now

   My Mom wants gift cards for gift occasions. But she also sends out gift cards for birthdays or whatever. She doesn’t understand why my siblings and I think this is so funny. She sends us a $25 gift card for our birthday and we send her a $2

    My company doesn’t require receipts for anything under $50. $25 meal and $25 gift card. Not that I would ever actually do that. Besides the ethical issues, it’s not worth risking my job over piddling amounts like that.

    I don’t know if I would use the hotness list. Some of those games, like Pendelum, don’t even exist yet (or aren’t for sale). I would take a look at the list of family games instead. https://boardgamegeek.com/familygames&#x2F

    I’ve only played the original Azul and Sagrada, but Sagrada didn’t really do it for us (while we love Azul). What are you seeing in Sagrada that we are not?

    Some we like are Azul, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Kingdomino, Splendor, Castles of Burgundy, Pandemic: Iberia, Lanterns, Isle of Skye, Concordia, Kingdom Builder, and Potion Explosion.

    Have a spouse and lots of kids ;-) I also have some friends who entered into a quarantine pact. They don’t go around anyone else except each other. That way they can keep meeting up for board game night.

    I’ve backed a lot of board games. I would never back one that has not been throughly play tested, has the rule book basically finished (at least the text if not the images and graphic design), has a play through video, and ideally has some

    Measuring by volume was from a time period before we had reliable digital scales. These days all baking measuring should be done by weight since it is far more accurate. I won’t even consider a recipe that goes by volume. Fortunately those

    That is so interesting. I hate going to malls because there are so many people there. But that seems to have been part of Gruen’s original intent - to bring people in close proximity to each other. No thank you.

    I know. It would be okay if you could view Facebook pages without an account, but since I don’t have one, all of those pages (including many friends and family members) are entirely shut out for me.

    This is missing the main reason we used Flash: it was basically the Java of the web. Or maybe the jQuery of the web. Since no browser were standards compliant (or rather every browser adhered to their own version of a standard) writing web

    Are your pools still open? All of ours closed down at the beginning of quarantine and they have already announced that none of the pools or rec centers will open this summer ( and possibly this year).

    My 18 year old son has been trying to get a job for 2 years, without success. All of the jobs that used to go to high schoolers are now going to adults who are working low end jobs to help make ends meet. And then the quarantine hit making

    Do you still trust the CDC? One unfortunate side effect of the pandemic is that my trust in the CDC went from absolute to non-existent. They’ve shown themselves willing to bend to politics instead of siding with science.

    I hope that’s true because I still don’t have a clue what an octave is (or a melody or harmony or any other music related word).
