Just want to second adsb exchange. I was using fr24 for a while and I think someone on here suggested adsb-e and it's a godsend. Living in the DC area, I see lots of fuckery where military helicopters that don't even show up on

Not sure what country you live in but if it's a GP, they write you a prescription and you go to a lab. Many endocrinologists have blood draw facilities within the practice. Either way you have to go back to interpret the results and, i

>they say in their own literature they can't account for all their upstreams. Sounds to me like a) at least they're trying and b)they're being honest. Still a significant moral upgrade over most of their competitors.

I've always understood that trying to use S3 as a block store (or as anything other than an object store) is an extremely bad idea. Has this changed?

I would love to see what a sub-critical geometry looks like. I also wonder what kind of math and engineering they did to come up with the shape they ended up with.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Rick Doblin for all this. He's been crusading for the therapeutic use of MDMA for over 25 years now. We went to the same college (New College in Sarasota) and he was a famous alum as "the guy who&#x

I don't think the OP story is very good; we all make mistakes but the point of the story is about organizations, not people for the most part. There is no reason to "stay hyper-productive and focused" every single day. Just
