I started working with asbestos while modifying vans for handicapped people to drive back in the early 70s. We used it as a heat shield when we lowered the floors in vans for people in wheelchairs to drive. I would watch guys I worked with

It's never been a secret that we don't know for sure how some of these anti-psychotic drugs work. It good to know there are folks working hard on finding out what's going on and ways to deal with psychosis. There's been

They used existing poles here. I'm pretty sure that a big part of the cost is funded by a U.S. gov grant designed to get rural areas high speed internet.

We may pay more than urban areas around us, I'm really not sure, but not all rural areas around us are serviced by the co-op and they do pay quite a bit more. We have 3 damns generating power very close by us, two that are pretty big,

We had CenturyLink for over 20 years here. They recently sold us to Brightspeed who raised our monthly fee to $60 for what's really the very lowest end of "Highspeed" access (if that). The first thing Brighspeed did was throt

The app is at ezInvoice.com. CouchDB is really a very good fit for that app. In the early versions of the app I used CGI.pm to store and get user data and that was very fast and efficient, and the format for storing data was similar to Couc

I've installed CouchDB and an app I made on both my local desktop pc (Mac Mini) and my app server (DigitalOcean) and it's pretty sweet. I've also installed both the app and CouchDB on a Raspberry Pi in my office and set it up

I worked on a local first version of an app I sell. I use CouchDB to store user data so it was pretty easy to implement because CouchDB will sync a local CouchDB to the Cloud based CouchDB as soon as any changes are made. That app is now 20

This got buried but I'm going to make the point for posterity's sake that "Sam's Club" charging teachers $20 to come into their stores to spend more of their own money to purchase supplies for their students is real

“We know that educators continue to dip into their own wallets to pay for classroom supplies, and we want to help ease the burden this year with better access to the unbelievable value that Sam’s Club provides,” Ludwig said.

I've personally never used an SQL DB but I think this would make it a lot easier for those who do to use CouchDB and might entice them to take a fresh look at it.

Thank you dang! There was certainly some heated opinions being shared there. Fair to say I may have set the tone with my initial comment. I grew up around cars and car builders and spent quite a few years working with them so I am opinionat

It's not "big deal". It didn't cost me any money and I won't lose any sleep over it. As I've already said, I'm curious about how/why this happened because it doesn't make sense. I've sent an

No, I have an old post that's marked as "flagged" but not that one.

I took your advice and did that. Thank you for the suggestion.

If it was flagged I wasn't notified. No idea why it would be though.

I don't worry about getting down voted for comments I make, but this is odd. I've sent an email asking for clarification so we'll see how it goes.

There are lots of ugly cars that are status symbols. I've built and customized a few for folks who paid me to do that. This one is not just ugly though, it's a crappy design for a work truck.

That's probably the best advice you've ever offered here. Thank you!
