The major component missing here is why the US washes eggs, which is that they don't vaccinate against salmonella. The places you're observing that store eggs outside a fridge probably all have some kind of poultry vaccination p

The theory I’ve always heard about why the shuffler might be biased is that they’re trying to reduce land flood/screw. Drawing too few or too many lands is a commonly cited cause of frustration with players and if you’re reasonably ass

I'm not knowledgeable in Pacific Salmon, but this is a phenomena seen in lots of species, and has a fairly basic biological explanation. A species can be exposed to individual threats that they can still cope with and adapt to, resulti

Thanks for sharing the interview! Check back in on the end of the show, around 2 hours 10 minutes. I asked him if he intended to keep teaching, and he hedged a little bit but essentially said no.

If you want to get a feel for what building a Battlesnake is like, would definitely recommend the Thursday Twitch shows! This one was a lot of fun, where penelope_zone (of rubyfmt/Stripe/Ruby Central fame) built a Battlesnake in B

Not necessarily, vocational qualifications in the U.K. (the NVQ) are often available at sixth-form colleges, but they will also teach the non-vocational A-level qualifications too. I don’t think there’s any consistency to what mix of vocati

The two most common usages of “college” in UK education are: - pre-university education for 16-18 year olds. This is where you complete qualifications for university entry, such as A Levels, Scottish Highers, or the IB, as well as more

This is interesting because this didn't used to be possible from a repository's readme, I believe, because linked images would be cached and served from GitHub's CDN. I wonder what's changed (if it indeed has)
