I'm not a huge fan of hockey but the sport seems to have so many interesting things like this that really sets it apart from other major sports. Could you ever see the NFL letting an amateur walk on the same day and play in a real game

It seems that very few political meanings are accurate when it comes to US politics. The terms liberal and conservative have pretty much lost all their original meaning.

Not sure how perfect this is, but for the US there's a site showing inflation with older methods. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

Do you mean the new Coke Zero Sugar in the US? I actually prefer the old version as the new one tastes a little more like Diet Coke.

Here's their actual price listing. https://surgerycenterok.com/pricing/ It would be great if the insurance companies would get behind these kinds of prices as this is probably the same as their negotiate rates the

I remember 10+ years ago how the food at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris was better than most food in the US. It was kind of sad.

Purely from a business perspective isn't it smarter to use other people's money for such risky projects? Musk certainly didn't become a billionaire by gambling!

Sounds a lot better than the 2 seasons we have here in Pittsburgh: summer and winter. Especially with the deep-freeze we've have this winter.

Purely personal, but if my only options in Easton, MD were the municipal and Comcast, I'd probably choose municipal. The 800Mb speed doesn't make up for the fact it's Comcast and their horrible service.

Gollum was definitely a benchmark, maybe even still. Then there's Avatar and Cesar from the Apes movies. But we've yet to get close with actual humans. What started with Final Fantasy we still have that "uncanny valley"

I've had many years of experience with iOS and then started working on a macOS app a year or so ago. Everything seemed overly complicated compared to iOS development. I ended up using a web view and did a lot of front-end work via HTML

Exactly, it all goes back to the movie Independence Day, he doesn't know everything so he has "plausible deniability!"

What are the pointless jobs you're referring to?

Mobile Safari seems to lack that option, as least as of iOS 10.

As others have pointed out, Div I football programs bring in a lot of money for colleges. The real issue is what is the school spending money on that constantly increases tuition?

It's not just telcos. The second-hand details I hear from a major bank makes me cringe everyday. And the main issues tend to be laziness and selfishness.

Can you give an example? I've seen this comment before but never have an issue with DDG.

I was going to ask the same thing. But also why are people still using Google? I've been using DuckDuckGo for years and only use Google when I'm forced to (like in Chrome on iOS).

My lab shows anything over 30 ng/ml as "optimal" (looks like 30 to 100 on the chart). My values the past 2 years have been in the mid 50's.

Anecdotal: I have Chrohns and take 2000 UI Vitamin D everyday. I've been prescribed the lowest dosage anti-inflammatory (Mesalamine) for years and rarely had a flare up. My Vitamin D blood tests always come back in the normal level.

The about page says "Models by SimplePoly". So that's probably it.

Looking at those laptops there's only 1 pre-2016 one currently. I have a 2013 one I got refurbished and it's going to have to last me a long time.

One issue is in the rural areas they delivery mail in their own cars, not USPS mail trucks. But ultimately Google could loan/lease their cars to those drivers.

I've always assumed that "Wild Caught" was used a purpose so the fish could be farmed, but then let loose and caught in the "wild". But maybe it's more difficult to do that.

I've always thought bus stops were too frequent outside of downtown Pittsburgh as well. Probably half he stops could be removed and that would speed up bus routes.

I'm one of those people who gladly use an iPhone with mostly Google apps (namely Chrome, Gmail and Maps). My little experience with Android has always been negative. The only real annoyance with iOS is you can't set Chrome nor Map

Exactly. I haven't had any problems switching to Swift for newer projects.
