Explain to me how win32 APIs from the 90s were still a thing on win mobile in the mid 2000s? On the enterprise front, yes they probably want to push but you ignore how often there are Windows EOL announcements where things are extended for

It's interesting, the "draw hoe" I recall versions of that being referred to as a "hula hoe" when I was a kid. These day when I ak about it, I get looked at like a martian. Here is a reference to it [ https:/

Is the OTC dosage limited? I recall in a prior life, my partner would bring melatonin back from the states to Germany for her brother.

What bugs me most, communities like the one I am referring to will denigrate anyone pushing back about homeless Uber all agenda. They are open to the distribution of needles without support services. Anything against this line of thought,

The ex of someone I know is both a user and a dealer. He opted to be homeless over getting clean. Sadly here in the states there is little you can do if an adult chooses a self destructive path - calls to sheriff/police did nothing -

That is one I had not heard of. The whole idea of those sorts of games on those systems (there were other “adult games”) was just odd…

Another vote for Guinness NA. Mikkeller also makes good NA beers, but pricey at $24/6 pack.

A couple brewery owners up in the Sierra near Truckee CAlifornia have been finding old hops fields. It’s not uncommon to see abandoned old orchards in places.

There was a period of time where Parc hosted a display of David Huffman's paper folding[1]. It was great to see in person and a reminder of discussions I had with him about it during office hours at UCSC prior to his passing. [1] htt

Administrative positions have grown faster than student bodies, from grade school to public universities. Teacher/lecturer wages have not gone up with enrollment increases or administrative overhead. That is where one needs to first

One thing with Upwork, and I was helping a project awhile back where this was the case, someone with a high tech social profile will post. They will outsource the work to someone at a much lower rate. The last of these projects I was invo

I had someone reach out on a freelancing site some months back for an account I don't monitor much anymore. They had asked my interest about something I didn't find interesting and their budget wouldn't have covered setting

What you consider "insanity" was functional and useful at one point and may still be useful in some projects. I see systems in the wild running DOS (rarer and rarer) because there is still functional hardware that does not have m

I just saw the box that has my DX-390 in it today. I like the idea you have. Someone mentioned the HackRF One. I have one of those as well (have had it for years) but never got it to work right. Maybe it was the antenna, maybe something

The link you share mentions web rings. Those were one of the early ways to discover sites! Forgot about those.

That's a long study. I look at ebooks like I look at movies, CDs, etc. Unless I can my own CDs or rip my own movies, I don't have a digital "file" copy of those items. Honestly, it has been difficult keeping up on tha

I didn't miss the point. The groups you mention spend significant sums on equipment each year. They probably also drink coffee from places like starbucks/etc. They have disposable income and $100/year is a pittance. Your po

Good. I don't have a problem with subscriptions that provide content. That said, currently ad supported content stuffed behind a pay wall which still has ads, or even things like Hulu which have "ad free" yet still show ads

Also, you leave out (which the comment you mentioned does) - please respect local rules. For instance, in Death Valley, you can free camp most anywhere (refer to NPS guidelines) two miles off of a designated roadway.

$100/year, $0.27/day is not in the realm of privilege. The groups you mention spend more than that a year to upgrade gear/etc. I call bollocks on this.
