Imgur provided both options. You could do it via an account, in which case you could easily manage your images after the fact. Or you could upload anonymously, in which case it would give you a magic delete link, which you could use later t

That still sounds weird. You knew you were going to choose a bar to enter, just not which one. That's not really spontaneity. It's just postponing the final details of your plan. Spontaneity isn't going to the restaurant as a

Bud light is as fine as it needs to be. They've been slowly losing market share for years, and that's built in to expectations. Now there's a localized drop in sales in a few areas which will fade away in a month or two as pe

Then you have the opposite problem - users who make a micropayment to watch your how-to video or whatever, and then two weeks later decide "nah, not gonna pay for that" and cancel it.

Control-C won't stop a connection that's already been established. It only aborts if it hasn't completed the handshake yet. Otherwise how could you send a control-C without any special guard sequence while ssh-ing?

I had the same complaint. This NYT article - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/09/world/what-in-the-world/a... - makes a stab at it in the last graf: "Why did the custom of avoidance speech arise

At my college dorm I was able to receive mail sent to: Room number 9-digit zip Like 219 65432-9876 It may have helped that all mail to that 5-digit zip went to the school, and its mail room people might have had more t

Yeah, the problem isn't that some of the donations end up in Indonesian flea markets. That's great. The problem is that 90% of what gets sent to Indonesia, is deemed unsuitable for resale, and then ends up tossed in a landfill.

Dow's reaction to being confronted about this was to say they had stopped working with the company that managed to arrange for the shoes to be reused instead of chopped up. That seems fairly clear.

I've worked on a lot of IMAP stuff and it's been decades since I've seen an implementation that didn't support reference by UID.

Thanks for your argument that health care should not be connected in any way to employment.

This is a huge misunderstanding of what happened. You gave it prompts, and it found examples of similar text in its database and extrapolated what was likely to follow. No ICMP packets were sent to Google.

> bear in mind that China literally started producing electronics in the 80s, a 40 year headstart Pretty sure Indian electronic manufacturing didn't start with this Apple project.

I'm sure there are political considerations. India of late has a capricious regulation problem which makes it difficult for tech firms to have predictability. And everyone already knows you can get decent quality manufacturing done in

An all-meat diet, like many other diets, is a non-processed-sugars diet. I suspect that's more important than meat vs vegetables.

It seems like I've been hearing for the last 40 years that tooth-re-growing tech was just around the corner, and in five years none of us would have to worry about dental problems anymore. Still waiting. Soon I'm going to have to

I moved from NYC to DC and regretted it for the entire period (5+ years) that I stayed in DC. It's so dull by comparison. Even in the dead center it feels like a suburb. Worse, people come and go constantly so it's very difficult
