If there was a contract, it probably would have helped a lot in the restraining order hearing. Which apparently had no issues happening faster than 18 months?

Ah, I see. I misinterpreted your comment. You meant the 2% base vs the 5% with Prime. And were making a conservative calculation based on the 3% difference, even though it's not likely you could get 2% back with a different card. $1

So she basically directly sublet part of her apartment, and is surprised the landlord didn't care and still held her responsible? That's exactly the stance the landlord should take in such a situation. Assuming it wasn't ju

> This is being extremely generous by pretending you can get 2% with another card. At Amazon? No. But with two cards I get: Grocery: 3% Gas: 2% Restaurants: 3-4.5% [0] Travel: 3-4.5% And I'm not even trying all that hard... There

Last time I worked with a product that had translations, we very quickly centered on needing to just translate the whole phrase. And we were only doing a couple "boring" European languages.

Leverage, and refinancing. It's not like taking a mortgage locks you at that market rate. With refinancing, you can take advantage of market rates to improve your leverage even more. I refinanced last year to a 15-year mortgage at a

That extension looks to be a complete restyle of HN, which is probably why it was not interacting well with Dark Reader. I don't know what features you're looking for in the extension, but there's another called Refine Hacke

Huh. I have those around and didn't even know they bit. Had one living in my screened patio a week or so ago, but I think it finally figured out that it wasn't going to catch much there...

Those might have been banana spiders / golden orb weavers, which are native to the southeast US down to northern South America. They have the same web-building habit as described. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri

Sounds reminiscent of banana spiders here in Florida -- aka golden orb weaver or golden silk spider. They do the same thing with their webs, which can also be hard to see due to the coloring. (The "golden" is due to the silk&#x2

I've been playing with it for running PowerShell lambda, which is maybe even more unusual than running it for just C# or F#. The only thing I don't like is that the runtime really starts choking with less than 256m of memory. It

This is basically fixed-time vs fixed-scope. You're detailing fixed-time, but fixed-scope projects do also exist.

I have a small maybe-bug report for you. I thought, hey I don't want anything with a HDD, only SSD. So I set HDD to 0-0, and it just filters out everything. Even systems with no HDD disappear.

Given other people saying there's Javascript and Opera involved, my guess is that the % is ending up unescaped in a URL.

I generally agree with you. However: Real ID validates that you are the person you are at the time of issuance, but does not guarantee that the possessor of the ID is that person. This stems from the fact that an ID is "something you

The problem with SSNs is that places treat it like a secret, when it's an identifier. They were not designed to be a secret, and obviously are a pretty terrible secret at this point in time. What with the fact that probably every per

That's pretty much equivalent to just using materialized WITH clauses, no? Those act as an optimization barrier and are materialized in order before the query is run.

I set mine with grapes, cut in half, with the grape skin in the trigger. The grape skin seems to be strong enough to prevent removal without triggering.

The issue is that those keywords are expected to work a particular way, just like operators. Just like the operator + is expected to do some sort of addition operation, the keyword `break` is expected to do some sort of loop exit operation.

This just gave me a flashback to a game I played once long ago, where you flew a spaceship around an environment that took things like file names and icons from your computer to populate it. I think it might have been this? https:/&#

The Java `Iterator` interface has a `remove` method, that in my experience is rarely used. Apparently rarely enough that it wasn't even a concern when hiding the `Iterator` instance in its foreach loop implementation. Otherwise, this

That's awesome! It's a dream of mine to someday design my own home, though more from an architectural perspective and not a technical one like this. Will likely be unrealized, though, for financial reasons. Unless I win the lot
