sound isolation yes, but vibration isolation (footfalls, washing machines, subwoofers) no way. source: I tried very hard to soundproof between floors. Sound passage is non-existent but footfalls are plainly heard.

Is there any service like this, but can show details for the IP address even if no services are detected? like for my home IP address, I get 404. It would be nice to use a service that can tell me whatever is known about the ip (geo, host

agree. Mostly I stick with DDG, but, especially for nitche queries, if I don't like the DDG results I give it a try again with !g. And as you say, 1/2 the time it doesn't give better results (but, 1/2 it does)

Different categories/uses. This is storage and on-demand production. Also, I would assume that 50x of these wells is cheaper than 1x nuclear (especially operational costs). But again, not in the same category.

You should relax. It seems like you were doing it because disaster porn is funny. At least you are cognizant enough to realize this. A lot of SJWism is similar, except they don't do it for fun (though, they get enjoyment of some for

Interesting, but you can make the game crash (firefox) if you keep "reaching" out when you have ambiguous mine placements. I'm guessing it has to keep rearranging until it finds a valid board placement.

fyi, I use cloud datastore, and there was a breaking change about 2 years ago going from beta to "release", but that's it. You don't need to upgrade your current datastore to firestore, at least I haven't got any &

totally agree, on all counts. I'm getting back into typescript dev and tried lerna... I couldnt get it working after a week of trying. It probably does work, just lack of tutorials makes it a really steep learning curve. Then I fo

In the forward of one of the books the author mentions he quit his day job after the first book was a hit, so I can understand his financial need to churn out more books. Unfortunately there is little plot advancement, perilous situations m

books 1 to 3 are awesome. after that the author forgets how to advance the plot while still churning out a new book more than once/year. I gave up on book 7, so yeah, I tried sticking with it.

umm... are all these people pushing to increase price serious? I know you want to encourage, but After Effects is "only" $20/mth.

For those finding this route interesting, just spend 4x more ($200) and get a modern-ish laptop, used, off craigslist or offerup. I'm typing on a Lenovo X1 Carbon (gen2) I bought for $200 last week. Win10, 1440p touchscreen, ssd, bitl

yeah I think I'm in the same boat, just not nearly as far as you. Thanks for the tips, I will give webpack a try (I was trying to use Parcel, but havent looked into browser-side yet)

can you give some tips? I'm starting out with this too, and would love to hear how you ended up doing it.

My idea is that "the right to bear arms" should be reconsidered. One way or the other is fine, but I think that with military technology advancements we are in a poor middle ground right now. If we as Americans affirm the 2nd am

I'm pro 2nd Amendment, but anti-gun. With the equipment a modern military has at it's disposal, I fail to see how the right to own small arms is going to help keep our government in check.

I figured there must be some tool for creating Minecraft Mods that was better than notepad. and it seems like I found one: https://mcreator.net/ with that you can create mods/adons for java or bedrock editions.
