This made me think of Sodom and Gomorrah. And, indeed, it looks like that's a published theory of the director of excavations there, Steven Collins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah#Possible_si...

I see two street connections: Trapelo Rd and Chapel Rd. I also find it humorous that the Google car shows some person walking the street behind the STATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING signs on the Chapel Rd entrance: https://www.googl

There's also domain-specific language / slang. I think this analogy is a good one. I've always held that software development has a crafty side in addition to the raw computer science. And I think you nailed it that this is

I thought it was generally considered good practice to put extension methods into static classes in their own file. So like `FooExtensions.cs` if you are writing extensions for the `Foo` class. I would consider this the same: Project shou

Some corrections: Dried fruit is drastically more concentrated than fresh fruit. By weight, fruits are largely water. "2% or less" means each individual ingredient is under that threshold, not the sum of them. "2% or les

The parties want to have a primary, because it's better than running multiple candidates. And color me surprised that a political organization running a political election involves politics! :rolleyes: EDIT: I want to clarify my re

Wait, grenadine is supposed to be pomegranate flavored? I've been using it to make "cherry cokes" for decades... I prefer that flavor to the "real" cherry coke one.

Everyone always talks about Florida not having seasons. That's a lie. We have four seasons, just like everyone else: first summer, SUMMER, second summer, and sprautumn.

There's more than this. This covers what might happen at a tech company, but what about all those other companies that don't employ developers? Well, Microsoft also has Azure Active Directory and Office 365. Replacing expensive

This is precisely one of the reasons I prefer attention schema theory as an explanation of consciousness. It actually has a progressive build up, with each individual stage conferring an advantage while also leading to the next stage. Evo

PowerShell has been available on Linux via .NET Core since 2016 and version 6.0. Even my Windows box with PowerShell 5.1 likes to remind me of this fact every time I start it: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporatio

I feel like you're discounting the fact that these "prescriptions" didn't just manifest from the aether. Someone started the idea of these particular medications being effective. And not having a clinical trial means

Ignoring everything else, that new truck is much larger. Compact trucks have not really existed in the US market for a decade at least. An old Ford Ranger was 175-200 inches long depending on year and model. The new one is 200-210 inches.

I believe I understood perfectly. But it is not mine or yours or the officers' choice to decide that this law is not worth enforcing. I mean, that is an opinion you can have, and is worthy of having, and especially worthy of advocati

If you can demonstrate that a doctor did not follow "standard operating procedure" and thereby caused harm by not correcting an issue or making it worse, that's a pretty solid malpractice case. Which is why things like exper

I'm honestly not sure, because it seems to me that contract disputes should be limited to making the other party whole. They are civil matters, not criminal ones, so why should there be additional punishment?

I use the cloud version also. While Jira doesn't have any issues, editing Confluence pages can be a right pain. It is constantly "losing my connection" and prevents editing until it's happy again. There's no conn
