As a young Portuguese-Canadian, I was surprised to find out that most "marmalades" in Canada weren't made of quince. In Portugal, "marmalade" was made of quince, period. The other things were probably called jellie

The title of the link is: "Cold War spy satellites were calibrated with marks in the Arizona desert." And it's technically true. They were calibrated with marks in the Arizona desert. Just not those big crosses. > While

Costco in Canada moved to Mastercard when they dumped Amex. They now accept any Mastercard. But most Canadians probably pay with Interac debit anyway.

That's really easy to do on iOS these days. Maybe the last version or two. You can "markup" PDFs and include signatures, etc.

Yeah, go for something like "quality signature" or something along those lines.

Yes, everyone I know, in my age range, has moved to France, Switzerland, Canada, etc. We all want to retire in Portugal, but it seems there are few employment opportunities unless you know the right people. I'm sure "retirement&

The trick is to drive normal speed and at the very last second speed like a madman, so that it still has to cycle to amber then red just as you leave the intersection!

The power of an angry glare from an old Portuguese woman (dressed in black) doesn't work in the US.

That's been the standard route for Apple products for many years now. Probably more than a decade.

In other words, a solution looking for a problem to solve. Fear definitely works, especially in small-town Portugal. But I'm not sure it will win those votes?

Another aside... Portugal law's are actually strict on video recording. For example, dashcams are technically illegal, since they're collecting of personal information (ie: license plates). It's never been an issue for me,

What are the chances this law actually passes before the assembly is dissolved and there's an election? The government is a minority government, running the country in a failed coalition. Does it have the votes to ram this through?

I've heard the term "non-avian dinosaur" a lot these days.

Is it "The Fifth of November" ? Doesn't have that exact line, though.

Just replaced the SSD with another one :-). My kid uses it now.

by mig39 5y ago
The plural of anecdotes is not data, but in my relatively small experience, I've had two SSDs die. And when they die, there's usually no warning. One was a windows box with a generic Kingston 480GB. The other was in a 2014 MacBoo

This is a lot like the checklists a lot of industries use, just automated on your shell instead of being on paper. I'm thinking of a pilot's checklist, or an operating theatre checklist.

Yes! On one hand, very little snow (and if there is snow, it melts soon enough). On the other hand, no real summer, either. Just rainy season, and less rainy season :-)

Prince Rupert is also physically closer to Asia (saves 2-3 days of sailing time), and has very little other sea traffic. The rail line is also expanding, and has very little non-port traffic. The port itself is protected by geography, and

You can definitely use Discourse in "mailing list mode" and use your e-mail client.

I found it the easy to install, especially on a $5 Linode or Digital Ocean VM, using the docker install. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTAL...

As someone who maintains 5 different discourse communities, the #1 reason is ease of installation and maintenance. It was hands-down the easiest to install, and is the easiest to maintain. Self-hosting on Linode or Digital Ocean is cheap a

I thought it was a legit question. So I don't understand the downvotes either. iTerm2 seems to be what I'm looking for :-) I can do X easy enough on macOS, it's all the other stuff I was looking for.

Is there something similar for macOS?
