Rudy Gobert, the guy in the NBA who was first to test positive and did the whole touch the microphone things at one of his interviews before the test even, came out about his lack of smell and taste. I was thinking his name could be brought

Isn't this why they charge for extra bags? Because passenger bags takes up space and weight that other people want to pay for? People argue about whether that's fair or not to charge passengers for more baggage when they're a

Thank god. My parents have a smallish accounting firm, and were so worried about still having to file. Things need to hold for that as well. The worry about employees coming in to the office and clients as well. They want to just close the

Put off for 8 weeks. Let's make the assumption that people follow the rule and things seem to go well and we get to May 10th. What will they say for the next max size gathering? 250? Small ramp ups? Or do you think they'll continu

I'm a remote worker and I've found it hard to say something positive about the virus, but having companies be more ok with remote workers and (hopefully) finding work still gets done can mean more remote possibilities overall. For

I was watching the game, and they hadn't canceled it when this was posted, and the article said that it already was. Clearly the article was incorrect which is why I was responding, so people didn't read the misinformation. As soo

I did that for a good 3 years, writing every day. Started out as a few sentences, and then turned in to bigger depending on how I was feeling that day. I absolutely love(d) being able to look back and read what I wrote and what happened on

I don't see comments on this yet but I'll says some of that is because of the Olympics based in Tokyo this summer. I heard the other day about how there's kind of a cutoff point in May determining if it needs to be postponed,

Whenever I read posts like this I'm much more impressed with the person's desire, motivation, determination, and strength to go an entire year focusing on one a single goal, not necessarily their learning ability. So many people,

That's my biggest problem with Ruby, where you can create a function and suddenly poof, you can use it anywhere. Like I'm writing tests and want to create a util function, so I put it in a different file and I can use that anywher

I just read that article couple days ago. Incredibly difficult, and I get stuck wondering what it'll be like for me and make myself tear up. I highly suggest subscribing to the New Yorker. It's not cheap, I renewed my subscription

What's your experience with Lamotrigine? Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I take that for anti-seizure and I'm wondering if that affects my thoughts and feelings in a different way because it's used for

Tons of replies to your comment already, but for point #1, this was absolutely the case for me. ActiveRecord is incredibly, incredibly good for pretty much all basic use cases. However, it comes with drawbacks like you said. It took me too
